Qin wanted to attack Zhao with Yan, and wanted to send Zhang Tang, the minister, to Yan, but Zhang Tang refused. Lv Buwei was at his wit's end, and Ganluo volunteered to persuade Zhang Tang to take his place. Lv Buwei didn't believe him at first. Gan Luo said confidently, "Xiang Tuo became Confucius' teacher when he was seven years old. Now I 12 years old. Can't you let me have a try? " Lv Buwei had to agree to his request.
Gan Luo drove to Zhang Tang and said, "In those days, Wu disobeyed Hou's orders to attack Zhao, was driven out of Xianyang and died. Now Wen Xinhou's power is much greater than that of Ying Hou. If you disobey his orders, it seems that your death is not far away! " Hearing this, Zhang Tang was so scared that he promised to go to see Yan.
With the consent of the government, Gan Luo went to Zhao to lobby according to the intention of Qin State to expand Hejian County. In view of Zhao Wang's psychological state that Qin Yan's alliance is unfavorable to Zhao, he went to great lengths to say: "Qin Yan's alliance is nothing more than trying to occupy the land between Zhao and the river." If you cede the five cities of Hejian to the State of Qin, I can go back and persuade the King of Qin to cancel the mission of Zhang Tang and sever the alliance with the State of Yan. When the time comes, when you attack Yan, Qin will never interfere, and Zhao will have as many as five cities! " Zhao Wang was overjoyed and gave Ganluo the map and household registration of Hejian 5 cities. Ganluo returned with a full load, and Qin won the land of Hejian without a single soldier. The King of Qin named Ganluo, who was 0/2 years old, as Shangqing, and gave him the land that was named Gan Mao in that year. Because the rank of prime minister was similar to that of Shangqing at that time, people inferred that Ganluo was the prime minister of 12 years old.
Lin (surname)
Lin Xiangru, whose birth and death are unknown, was an official of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period and made great contributions to the State of Zhao. According to legend, a famous politician, diplomat and strategist in the Warring States period was born in Quyang, Hebei Province. When trying to annex the six countries and the struggle became increasingly fierce, he not only defeated Qin's plot by relying on his own wisdom and courage, but also was a broad-minded politician who was tolerant of others, focused on the overall situation, and "focused on the country and belittled personal grievances". He was a great statesman, diplomat and thinker in ancient China. He, with his fearless courage, superhuman wisdom, broad mind and state-oriented ideology and morality, can be said to be famous in Kyushu and brilliant throughout the ages. On one occasion, the prince of Zhao got a priceless treasure called He Shibi. After learning this, the king of Qin wrote a letter to the king of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for this treasure.
Zhao Wang was very anxious after receiving the letter, and immediately called the ministers to discuss it. Everyone said that the king of Qin just wanted to fool Cai Mao, but he refused, fearing that he would send troops to attack. When he was in a dilemma, some people said that a brave and witty Alin could solve the problem. The prince of Zhao called Lin Xiangru and asked him what to do.
Lin Xiangru thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to go to Qin with Choi. If the king of Qin really exchanges fifteen cities, I will give him the decree; If he refuses to hand over the fifteen cities, I will definitely send Bi back. At that time, Qin was at the right time, and there was no reason to transfer troops. "
The prince of Zhao and his ministers had no choice but to send Lin Xiangru to the State of Qin with Choi.
When Lin Xiangru arrived in the State of Qin, he went to the palace to see the king of Qin and gave him Choi. The king of Qin held the city wall in his hand and praised it while watching it, without mentioning the fifteen cities. Seeing this, Lin Xiangru knew that the King of Qin had no sincerity in exchanging the city for the city wall, so he came forward and said, "There is something wrong with this city wall. Let me show you. " After hearing what he said, the king of Qin handed Choi and Choi to Lin Xiangru. Lin Xiangru held the wall, stepped back and stood against the post. He said confidently, "I don't think you want to send fifteen cities." Now that the jade is in my hand, if you force me, my head and jade will hit this pillar together! " He said, and lifted the choi, is about to hit the post. The king of Qin was afraid that he would really hit the wall. He quickly said that everything was easy to discuss, so he asked someone to take out a map and show him the fifteen cities promised to Zhao. Lin Xiangru said that Cui Hecai is priceless, and he won't hand it over until a grand ceremony is held. The king of Qin must appoint a date with him to hold the ceremony.
Lin Xiangru knew that the king of Qin had no sincerity in exchanging the city for jade. As soon as he got back to the hotel, he told his men to disguise themselves and go back to Zhao along Cui's road. On the day of the ceremony, Lin Xiangru entered the palace to visit the King of Qin. He generously said, "Cui and I have been sent back to Zhao. If you are sincere, give these fifteen cities to our country first, and our country will send someone to deliver them immediately, and never break your word. It's no use killing me. Everyone in the world knows that Qin doesn't keep his word! " The king of Qin had no choice but to send Lin Xiangru back to Zhao civilly. In 282 BC, the State of Qin sent a general to take two places in the State of Zhao. The following year, Qin sent troops to capture Shicheng of Zhao; Another year later, we attacked Zhao again and the two countries went to war. Zhao lost more than twenty thousand troops, but his offensive also stopped.
In 279 BC, Zhao Haoqi of Qin wanted to make peace with Zhao, so as to concentrate on attacking Chu. So he sent an emissary to see Zhao and asked Zhao to meet him in Mianchi, outside the Xihe River, in order to enhance friendship. The prince of Zhao was afraid and couldn't think of going. General Lian Po discussed with the doctor Lin Xiangru that it was not good for the Prince of Zhao not to go. He advised Zhao Wang to go: "If Qin Wang doesn't go, it will appear that Zhao Guoli is timid, so it is better to go." The prince of Zhao followed the advice of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, and Lin Xiangru went with the prince of Zhao.
Lian Po led the army to send the prince of Zhao to the border, and they parted ways. He said to the prince of Zhao, "The round trip to Mianchi this time, plus the time for the meeting, is estimated to last no more than 30 days. In case of any eventuality, if the king has not returned after this date, please allow us to make the prince king, so as to cut off the idea of Qin detaining the king and threatening Zhao. " Wang Zhao agreed. Lian Po also deployed a large number of troops on the border to guard against the attack of Qin.
When I arrived at Mianchi, I met the King of Qin, and the two sides saluted each other, so we chatted at the banquet. Halfway through the wine, the king of Qin said to the king of Zhao, "I heard that you like playing the piano. I have a harp here, please play a song for fun! " The prince of Zhao dared not refuse, so he had to play a song. At this time, Qin Yushi came over and wrote on the bamboo slips: On a certain day, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao gave a banquet in Mianchi, and the king of Qin ordered the king of Zhao to play the piano.
Seeing this displeasure, Lin Xiangru went up to the king of Qin and said, "The king of Zhao heard that the king of Qin was good at fighting. I have a hammer here. Please knock it and make everyone happy. " The king of Qin flew into a rage and refused to agree. Lin Xiangru took the ribbon and presented it to the king of Qin, who still refused to knock at the door. Lin Xiangru said, "Now I am only five steps away from the King. If the king doesn't agree, I will fight to the death and spill blood all over you. " It means fighting hard with the king of Qin.
Seeing that the king of Qin was threatened, the guards of the king of Qin hurriedly drew their swords to kill Lin Xiangru. Lin Xiangru stare eyes, drink, guards repeatedly retreat. The king of Qin was very unhappy and had to knock a few times. Lin Xiangru turned to Zhao's suggestion and wrote it down: On a certain day in a certain year, the king of Zhao and the king of Qin held a banquet in Mianchi, and the king of Zhao ordered the king of Qin to knock chopsticks to entertain guests.
When the ministers of Qin saw that the king of Qin did not take advantage, they said, "Please give the king of Zhao fifteen cities and bless the king of Qin!" Lin Xiangru did not show weakness, saying, "Please ask the King of Qin to bless the King of Zhao with Xianyang!"
Until the end of the banquet, in order to safeguard the dignity of the country, Lin Xiangru bravely and tactfully waged a tit-for-tat and indomitable struggle with the monarch and minister of Qin State, and defeated the plot of Qin State. Qin also knew that Lian Po's army was stationed at the border and was not good at fighting, so he had to respectfully send Zhao and his subjects home. After that, the war between Qin and Zhao was temporarily stopped.
