The story of the guilt of Jing Jing has been included in the textbook since junior high school, and the plot is very simple, telling that Lin Xiangru was worshipped as Shangqing by the King of Zhao after establishing the Qigong of "Returning to Zhao", ranking above the veteran general Lian Po of the Zhao Kingdom. However, Lian Po was very unconvinced, and even threatened to humiliate Lin Xiangru in person.
In the face of incorruptible and aggressive, Lin Xiangru repeatedly tolerated it. Later, even his protégés could not look at it anymore, and they all submitted their resignations and wanted to switch to others. Seeing this, Lin Xiangru scolded, "I am not even afraid of the King of Qin, how can I still be afraid of Lianpo?" The reason why the State of Qin was afraid of the State of Zhao was because I and General Lian, if we were to fight among ourselves, wouldn't we let the State of Qin reap the benefits of the fishermen? ”
After these words reached Lian Po's ears, he was ashamed of his behavior of forsaking the security of the country because of his personal grievances, so he had the story of the later door-to-door to bear the guilt of Jing.
At the end of the story of the guilt of Jingjing, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru were rebuilt, which is supposed to be a happy ending for everyone, and after Lin Xiangru and Lian Po were combined, Zhao Guo should also be quickly strong. So, did history really develop in this way?
Non-also, during the reign of King Huiwen of Zhao, the State of Zhao may still have this trend. The crime of bearing Jing's request occurred in the 16th year of King Huiwen of Zhao, and in the same year, Lian Po led the Zhao army to successfully conquer Qi and take the position of the head of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong in one fell swoop. Subsequently, Lian Po again attacked Qi and Wei in the 20th and 22nd years of King Huiwen of Zhao, and the State of Zhao instantly threatened the princes. It also became the biggest force that prevented the Qin state from advancing eastward.
However, King Huiwen of Zhao died early, and he died in 266 BC. The newly enthroned King Xiaocheng of Zhao was obviously not as bold as his father, and the foreign expansion of the Zhao state was once stagnant. At this time, the State of Qin adopted the strategy of "long-distance friendship and close attack", took many cities, and its strength gradually reached the time when it could sit on an equal footing with the State of Zhao.
Finally, in 262 BC, the State of Qin, which had always been eyeing the Zhao State, took the lead in provoking a war and gathered 600,000 troops in the Changping area of the Zhao State, which was the famous "Battle of Changping" in history.
At the Time of the Battle of Changping, Lin Xiangru and Lian Po were both dying of old age, while Lin Xiangru was stubborn and could no longer accompany the army to fight, so lianpo could only fight alone. At that time, the qin state was gaining momentum, while the Zhao state was quite in a state of displeasure.
Lian Po's advice to King Zhao Xiaocheng at that time was to adopt a defensive strategy, but King Zhao Xiaocheng made a mistake and muttered, "When your father was there, you Lian Po Xiao Yong won a great victory in battle, how come I took the throne, but I began to instigate?" Coupled with the fact that the State of Qin skillfully used divisive tactics to further deteriorate the relationship between King Xiaocheng of Zhao and Lianpo, in the end, King Xiaocheng of Zhao used Zhao Kuo, who would only "talk on paper", as the commander.
And the outcome of the Battle of Changping we all know, Zhao Guo's 450,000 troops were completely destroyed, and Zhao Kuo also died on the battlefield. This move seriously injured Zhao Guoyuan, who was originally a hegemon among the princes and quickly fell to the altar.
Lin Xiangru was already suffering from a serious illness, and coupled with the stimulation of the defeat in the Battle of Changping, he was directly depressed. After Zhao Kuo's death, King Xiaocheng of Zhao also reactivated Lianpo, and Lianpo also lived up to expectations, directly snatching 5 cities from the Yan state to help the Zhao state recover. After this, Lian Po was also worshipped by King Xiaocheng of Zhao as Xiangguo.
However, it was not long before King Xiaocheng of Zhao also passed away. The newly appointed King Xiang of Zhao was undoubtedly even more ignorant and faint, and the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to relieve Lianpo of his military power, and that Lianpo was fighting with the State of Wei, and in a fit of anger, Lianpo directly defected to the State of Wei.
It was also because of Lian Po's departure that Zhao Guo completely lost its combat effectiveness and became a soft persimmon in the hands of Qin Guo. King Xiang of Zhao also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he sent an envoy to the State of Wei, first, to see if LianPo could still fight, and second, to see if Lianpo could still be invited back.
Unfortunately, this envoy of the Zhao State was a traitor of the Qin Dynasty, and he naturally would not let Lian Po return to the Zhao Kingdom. Therefore, he fabricated the lie that Lianpo was old and weak and incompetent as a general, and in the end, Lianpo's plan to return to Zhao was also frustrated.
In his later years, although Lian Po had been wandering in other princely states, he had always been concerned about the Zhao kingdom. Homesickness, combined with depression, eventually took Lianpo's life. Soon after Lian Po's death, the State of Zhao also collapsed, and King Xiang of Zhao also became a prisoner of the State of Qin.
After poor Jing pleaded guilty, Zhao Guo should have become strong, but due to a series of changes, it eventually disappeared into history. And Lian Po, who should have had a meritorious deed, and lin Xiang, who was famous for thousands of years, have both ended up depressed, which is really sighing. Perhaps, the helplessness of personal fate over history lies in this.
