Zhao Sheng, the Prince of Pingyuan, was one of the Four Princes of the Warring States. He was considered the most virtuous and talented of the many princes of the Zhao Kingdom, and a hospitable man. Thousands of guests flocked to his door. Pingyuan Jun served as the Xiangguo of King Huiwen of Zhao and King Xiaocheng of Zhao. He has left the phase three times and reinstated the official three times.
The Plains King's house has a tall building facing the house below. There is a cripple in the house. Always limping out to fetch water. One of Pingyuan Jun's concubines lived upstairs. She burst out laughing when she saw the cripple hitting the water.
The next day, the cripple found Pingyuan Jun and told him about it, and hoped that PingyuanJun would kill the concubine to show that Pingyuan Jun respected the scholars! Pingyuan Jun pretended to agree. After the cripple left, Pingyuan Jun did not kill the concubine.
After more than a year, Pingyuan Jun's disciples have left more than half of them one after another. Pingyuan Jun felt strange. I felt that I was not disrespectful to those doormen. How did they just leave?
Before a doorman left, he said to Pingyuan Jun: Because you don't kill the little concubine who laughed at the cripple. Everyone thinks you are lustful and despise the gentleman. So the soldiers left. Pingyuan Jun suddenly realized after hearing this. He killed the concubine himself, then came to the door to apologize to the cripple. Since then, those doormen have returned to Pingyuan Jun one after another.
Later, the State of Qin occupied the Wild King of Korea and cut off the connection between Korea and Shangdang County. South Korea wanted to dedicate Shangdang County to the Qin state for peace.
Taishou Feng Ting of Shangdang County saw that the people of Shangdang County were reluctant to submit to the Qin state. So he wanted to give Shangdang County to Zhao Guo!
Zhao Guo knew about this matter and argued endlessly. Pingyuan Jun supported the incorporation of Shangdang County into the State of Zhao. Although he also knew that doing so would anger the Qin state. Zhao Guo eventually took over Shangdang County.
There is no meat to the mouth! When did the State of Qin suffer such insults? If you don't fight zhao guo this time, then in the future, there will be other princely states to rob the innermost meat of the qin state. Therefore, this battle of Qin Zhao is inevitable! So the two countries fought a big fight in Changping in the Zhao kingdom. Both sides sent large armies to fight each other!
The timing and scale of the war may have exceeded the expectations of both countries. The Battle of Changping was fought for three years, and both sides invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and neither side could easily defeat anyone! But no one can easily retreat. They just couldn't stand each other. This is a contest of national strength between Qin and Zhao!
The State of Qin underwent the Shang Martingale Transformation Method, and its national strength was naturally stronger than that of the State of Zhao. Zhao Guo couldn't resist at this time!
The State of Qin also saw the predicament of the State of Zhao. So the State of Qin sent people to the State of Zhao to spread rumors. Saying that the qin state was most afraid of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo's son. When he talked about the art of war, he was the head of the Tao, and even Zhao Hao couldn't talk about him. Lian Po was afraid of his defeat so he did not dare to fight.
When King Zhao heard the rumors, he believed that they were true and wanted to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. Pingyuan Jun also did not object to King Zhao sending Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po.
After the State of Qin knew that King Zhao had replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, they secretly replaced it with the famous general Bai Qi. Zhao Kuo, who had never led troops to fight, faced the invincible Bai Qi. There's hardly much suspense in this result. The final result, of course, was that the Zhao army was besieged and finally forced to surrender. After the surrender, more than 400,000 soldiers were killed by the Qin State!
After the Battle of Changping, the Qin army besieged handan, the capital of the Zhao state. King Zhao sent Pingyuan Jun to various countries for help. Ping Yuanjun was ready to select twenty people from among his disciples to go to the Chu Kingdom with him. But there were nineteen picks. I can't pick out the rest of it.
At this time, there was a doorman named Mao Sui who wanted to go to the Chu Kingdom with Pingyuan Jun. Pingyuan Jun was full of doubts about Mao Sui's self-recommendation. Mao Sui had been here in the Plains for three years, without any conspicuousness. If the hair is an awl, it will definitely show its head in the pocket. Pingyuan Jun talked to Mao Sui. In the end, it was decided to take Mao Sui to the Chu Kingdom. Mao Sui let PingYuanjun know that the reason why he didn't show his head was because no one put him in his pocket. Today he was put in his pocket. Not only will he have to show his head, but his whole body will be exposed! The doormen laughed at Mao Sui's bragging, and Mao Sui did not argue with them.
After Pingyuan Jun came to the Chu Kingdom, the nineteen men failed to successfully persuade the King of Chu to send troops to rescue the Zhao State. At this time, Mao Sui appeared. He told the king of Chu about Bai Qi's attack on the capital of the Chu state and the burning of the Chu state temple and the king's tomb. Moreover, he also deliberately ridiculed the Chu state for having many adults but not strong, and feared the Qin state.
The King of Chu could not bear it any longer after hearing this. He immediately sent troops to rescue Zhao Guo, vowing to fight with Qin Guo to the death. Mao Sui's radical law succeeded in angering the King of Chu.
Pingyuan Jun moved the rescue troops of the Chu State and returned to the Zhao Kingdom. PingYuanjun was ashamed not to see that Mao Sui was a talent. Since then, Mao Sui has been regarded as a superior doorman.
Shortly after the Chu state sent troops, Xin Lingjun also stole a charm to save Zhao and brought the Wei army to rescue the Zhao state. But the armies of their two countries had not yet arrived at zhao guo! At this time, the Qin army was frantically attacking Handan. They are all racing against the clock to buy time, and whoever takes the first step will win!
In the face of the crazy attack of the Qin army, Ping Yuanjun was very anxious. Fear of Handan being breached. Li Tong asked Ping Yuanjun: Are you not worried about the demise of zhao? How could Pingyuan Jun not be worried? If the Zhao Kingdom perished, he would not have to be the Prince of plains. Li Tong asked Ping Yuanjun to take out all the exquisite things in his home for the soldiers to enjoy. Pingyuan Jun distributed all the exquisite things in his house to the soldiers. As a result, the soldiers were very moved, and three thousand people were willing to repay the Plain King for their death. Li Tong led these three thousand men to fight against the Qin army, and the Qin army was repelled by them for thirty miles. At this time, reinforcements from the Chu and Wei states also arrived. The Qin army could only be forced to retreat. Zhao Guo finally survived the crisis.
After Xin Lingjun stole the charm to save Zhao, Pingyuan Jun did not dare to compare himself with Xin Lingjun anymore!
After the war, Xin Lingjun and his protégés remained in the Zhao kingdom. When Xin Lingjun heard that there were two virtuous people in the Zhao Kingdom, he really wanted to get to know them. But the two of them are not very well-identified. One is a gambler and the other is an alcoholic. When Xin Lingjun saw them, he felt that the two of them were indeed two talents. After PingYuanjun knew about this matter, he felt that Xin Lingjun was an ignorant and arrogant person. After listening to Pingyuan Jun's words, Xin Lingjun knew that PingyuanJun was not sincerely seeking meritocracy. His so-called meritocracy is just a showmanship. So Xin Lingjun wanted to return to the State of Wei.
Pingyuan Jun was ashamed after hearing Xin Lingjun's evaluation of him. Apologize to Xin Lingjun in person. We are determined to leave Xin Lingjun behind. Because of this incident, half of Pingyuan Jun's disciples went to xin lingjun.
Yu Qing wanted to use the excuse that Xin Lingjun sent troops to save Zhao, and asked The King of Zhao to increase the fiefdom for Pingyuan Jun. When Gongsun Long learned of this, he came to persuade Pingyuan Jun. Pingyuan Jun accepted Gongsun Long's suggestion and did not ask for more fiefs.
After the death of The Plain King, his descendants inherited his title. Until the fall of the Zhao Kingdom!
Plain Jun's personal ability and moral vision are average! Can't see the big picture! Because of his greed, he persuaded King Zhao to take over Shangdang County. As a result, a large-scale war broke out between Qin and Zhao. Later, when King Zhao wanted to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, Pingyuan Jun did not see the danger in it. In the end, more than 400,000 people in the Zhao State were buried alive in Changping, and the Zhao State almost perished. Although he also tried his best to save the Zhao state when the Qin state attacked Handan. However, if he could not persuade King Zhao to take over Shangdang County, and if King Zhao wanted to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, he could stop it in time, and there would be no subsequent events. He's just making up for it. Wouldn't it be nice to know that the sheep would throw away and tie the fence early?
The Plains Monarch also only to decorate the façade. Therefore, he only likes to make friends with people with status, and does not sincerely seek merit like Xin Lingjun.
But he is not without merit, he knows that mistakes can be corrected. Much better than those who know they are wrong and hold on to the façade.
