Lian Po, Zhao Zhiliang will also. In the sixteenth year of Zhao Huiwen, Lian Po was General Zhao, who was famous for his bravery in cutting Qi, breaking it, taking it, and worshiping Shangqing.
Lin Xiangru, Ye Zhao. Ordered Miao Xian to give up his family business for Zhao's official position.
When Zhao Huiwen was king, he got Chu and Cui. Qin Wenzhi, who made people leave a letter, is willing to invite Yibi with fifteen cities. The ministers of Zhao Wang and General Lian Po made a plan: Qin Cheng may not get it, but he will be bullied; If you don't want to pay, you will suffer the arrival of the pool. The plan is undecided, and asking for help can make people who report to Qin unable to get it.
The official ordered Miao Xian to say, "Minister Lin Xiangru, you can make it." Wang asked, "How do you know?" Yes, I said, "I'm guilty, and I want to get away with it. I said,' How do you know the Prince of Yan?' I said, I tasted the meeting between the king and the prince, and the prince privately held my hand and said,' I want to make friends'. I knew it and wanted to go. Xiang Ru said to the minister, "My husband Zhao Qiang is weak, but your husband is lucky for the prince of Zhao, so the prince of Yan wants to marry you. Today, the monarch is the death of Zhao, and Yan is afraid of Zhao, so he will not dare to keep it. Shu County belongs to Zhao. You might as well admit your crime naked, and you'll be lucky to take it off. "I followed his plan and the king was lucky enough to forgive me. I think he is a brave man, resourceful and just right. "
So the king of Qi summoned him and asked Lin Xiangru, "Can the king of Qin give me fifteen cities as gifts?" Xiang Ru said, "Qin Qiang, Zhao Wei, can't help it." The king said, "What shall we do if we take my treasure instead of our city?" Xiang Ru said, "Qin wanted to be on the wall with the city, but Zhao refused, and Song was in Zhao; Zhao Yubi and Qin refused Zhao Cheng, and Song was in Qin. The second policy is to take Qin Ge. " The king said, "Who can be a messenger?" Xiang Ru said, "There will be no one in the king, and I am willing to serve you. The city entered Zhao and stayed in Qin; If you don't enter the city, please return it to Zhao. " The prince of Zhao then sent Xiang to the west of Qin.
The king of Qin sat on the platform and saw each other. Play the king of Qin like bong-pil. The king of Qin was overjoyed and passed it on to show his beauty. Long live the left and the right. Seeing that the king of Qin had no intention of returning Zhao Cheng, Xiang Ru said, "If the jade is defective, please tell the king." Wang Shoubi. Xiangru stood up straight and was furious because he was leaning against the wall and the pillar. He said that the king of Qin said, "Your Majesty wanted the city wall, so he summoned the king of Zhao, who called his ministers to discuss it. They all say,' Qin is greedy, but he is negative. He seeks the wall with empty words and cannot compensate the city.' I don't want to give it to Qin Bi, but I think the friendship between cloth and clothes has not been deceitful. Is it a big country? And it is impossible to use stones to resist the joy of the Qin dynasty. So the prince of Zhao fasted for five days, and the envoys waited on the wall and sent books to the court. who is it? The prestige of a big country is to cultivate respect. Today came, and the king saw me watching. Good manners. I won the lottery and passed it on to beautiful women to tease me. I didn't want to pay for the city of Zhao Wang, so I took the treasure again. Your majesty will be anxious to be an urgent minister, and my head will be broken with the wall! "
It's like holding its post and trying to hit it. The king of Qin was afraid that it would break through the wall, but politely declined its request, and called a case of Ji Si, referring to Zhao's affairs in the past fifteen years.
For example, the king of Qin gave Zhao Acheng a false excuse, which is hard to get. It is said that the king of Qin said, "He is a treasure handed down from generation to generation, and the king of Zhao is afraid not to give it to him. He said that he would fast for five days after he was sent away. Today, it's time for the king to fast for five days. He has set up nine guests in the court, and I dare to hit a wall. The king of Qin spent it, but he could not take it away. So he promised Zhai Wangri, and he gave up Guang Cheng and other things.
For example, although the king of Qin borrowed grain, he never spared the city, but made his followers wear brown clothes and cherish treasures, and died on the road and returned to Zhao.
Five days after the residence of the King of Qin, he made a nine-ceremony ceremony at the court and invited Zhao to make Lin Xiangru. When the item arrived, he called the king of Qin and said, "Since Miao Gong, there have been more than 20 emperors in Qin, and none of them has ever been firmly bound. I'm afraid I'll be bullied by the king of Qi and lose Zhao, so I'll let people go back to Zhao. In addition, Qin is very strong, while Zhao is very weak, so Qi Weiwang sent a special envoy to Zhao, and Zhao Mo Lifeng came. Today, with the strength of the Qin Dynasty, I first gave all fifteen to Zhao. Zhao keeps this jade, how dare he offend the king? I know that the crime of deceiving the monarch will be punished, so please make soup. Only the king and his ministers should discuss it. "
The king of Qin and his ministers looked at each other and laughed. The King of Qin said, "If you kill Xiang Ru now, you will never get the jade, and you and Qin and Ye Zhao will never be happy. It's better to return it to Zhao if you meet such a thick one. Zhao Wangyi is a tyrant of Qin evil? " When the court saw each other, they went home after the ceremony.
The prince of Zhao thinks he is a good doctor, so that he will not be humiliated by the princes and worship him as a doctor.
Qin didn't give Zhao the city, and Ye Zhao didn't give Qin Bi.
Later, Qin cut Zhao and pulled out Shicheng. Attack Zhao again next year and kill 20 thousand people. The angel of the king of Qin told the king of Zhao that if he wanted to make friends with the king of Qin, he would go to Mianchi outside Xihe River. The prince of Zhao is afraid of Qin and wants to leave. Lian Po Lin Xiangru said: "You can't do this, which shows that Zhao is weak and timid." Wang Zhao followed. Follow each other. When Lian Po sent him to the border, he consulted with the king and said, "Go ahead, Wang, and return what you meet at the Taoist temple, but only for 30 days. If you don't pay back within 30 days, please make the prince king, so that you will never see the king of Qin again. " Wang. So he and the king of Qin will meet at Mianchi.
The king of Qin was drinking heavily and said, "I overheard the good voice of the king of Zhao." Please play the harp. " Wang Zhao drum and harp. The first article of Qin Shu Yu Shi said: "One day, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao drank wine, which made the king of Zhao play drums." Lin Xiangru said: "Zhao Wang secretly heard that the king of Qin was the voice of the king of Qin. Please give him a bowl of entertainment." The king of Qin was furious and refused. So they went forward and knelt down to invite the king of Qin. The king of Qin refused to strike. Xiang Ru said, "Within five steps, Xiang Ru please spill blood on your neck!" Think left and right like a blade, and think right like a slap. So the king of Qin didn't worry, so he punched him. For example, Gu's Proposal said: "One day, the king of Qin was beaten by the king of Zhao." The ministers of Qin said, "Please take Zhao 15th as your birthday." Lin Xiangru also said: "Please take Xianyang, the land of Qin, as the prince of Zhao."
The king of Qin actually drank wine, but he couldn't beat Zhao in the end. Zhao Yisheng had soldiers waiting for Qin, but Qin did not dare to move.
After returning to China, he made great contributions to Xiang Rugong and worshipped Shangqing as the right of Lian Po.
Lian Po said, "I'm General Zhao, and I've made great contributions by attacking the city. Lin Xiangru is above me, and I'm tired of his words. And I am like a bitch, I am ashamed and can't bear to start! " The declaration said, "If I see each other, I will feel humiliated." I heard about each other and refused to attend the meeting. Like every dynasty, he often claimed to be ill and didn't want to compete with Lian Po. I always like to go out and see Lian Po, and I like to lead cars to hide.
So Mr. Scheeren said to the admonition officer, "I went to my relatives' house to serve you, and I admire your noble righteousness." Today, you and Lian Po are in the same column. You are afraid to hide your evil words, and your fear is great. And mediocrity is still shameful. What is the situation? I'm waiting for you. Please resign. Lin Xiangru stopped him and said, "Do you think it's General Lian or King Qin?" ? "said," if not. "Xiang Ru said," The husband used the power of the king of Qin, but Xiang Ru scolded him and humiliated his ministers. Although you are very similar, are you afraid of even the general? Gu Wu saw that Qiang Qin did not dare to send more soldiers to Zhao Zhe because we are all here. Nowadays, the two tigers are at odds. I did it for national urgency, and then for personal hatred. "
Hearing this, Lian Po was naked. Because the guest came to Lin Xiangru Gate to apologize, he said, "I didn't expect the general to be so generous!"
A pawn is happy and an awkward friend.

Lian Po, an excellent general of Zhao. In the sixteenth year of Zhao Huiwen, General Zhao Lian Po led the Zhao army, conquered Qi, defeated Qi and captured Jin Yang, and was named Shangqing. Since then, he has been famous for his bravery and good fighting skills.
Lin Xiangru, a native of Zhao, is a guest of Miao Xian, the eunuch leader of Zhao.
When Zhao Huiwen was king, he got the harmony of Chu people. Zhao Haoqi, the king of Qin, wrote a letter to the prince of Zhao, expressing his willingness to exchange fifteen cities for Cui. The prince of Zhao discussed with General Lian Po and other ministers: If you give Baoyu to the State of Qin, I am afraid that all the cities in the State of Qin will not get it and will be cheated in vain; If you don't give it to him, I'm afraid Qin will attack. We haven't found a suitable solution, and we can't find an envoy who can reply to Qin.
The eunuch ordered Miao Xian to say, "My guest Lin Xiangru can go to the embassy." Zhao Wang asked, "How do you know he can be a special envoy? Miao Xian replied, "I have committed a crime and privately intend to flee to Yan State. My guest Xiang Ru dissuaded me from going and asked me,' How do you know the Prince of Yan? I said to him,' once I followed the king to meet the prince on the border. The prince privately held my hand and said,' I would like to make friends with you'. So I know him, so I'm going to find the prince. "Xiang Ru said to me,' Zhao Guoqiang, Yan is weak, and you are favored by Zhao, so Yan wants to make friends with you. Now you have fled from Zhao to Yan, and Yan is afraid of Zhao. In this case, the prince will not dare to take you in, and will tie you up and send you back to Zhao. You might as well take off your coat, show your shoulders, lie under the blade of the axe and ask for punishment, and maybe you will get a pardon by luck. "I followed his advice, so maybe I was pardoned by luck. Personally, I think this man is a brave man with great wisdom and should be able to preach. "
So the king of Zhao immediately summoned him and asked Lin Xiangru, "The king of Qin wants fifteen cities in exchange for me and Shibi. Can you give it to him? " Lin Xiangru said: "Qin Guoqiang and Zhao Wei have to agree." The king of Zhao said, "What if you take my treasure and don't give it to me?" Lin Xiangru said, "Qin asked to exchange the city for jade, but Zhao refused. Zhao was at a loss and gave it to Bi. Qin did not give it to Zhao's city. Qin is really indefensible. Weighing the two countermeasures, I would rather agree and let Qin bear the responsibility of indefensible. " Wang Zhao said, "Who can go? "Lin Xiangru said, your majesty, if there is no one to send, I am willing to take the treasure to the embassy. When these cities belonged to Zhao, they left these treasures to Qin. If the city can't return Zhao, I will definitely return He Shibi to Zhao intact. " The prince of Zhao sent Lin Xiangru with Choi and went west to the State of Qin.
The king of Qin sat on the stage to meet Lin Xiangru and gave him a piece of jade. The king of Qin was very happy. He passed Bobby on to his wife, concubine and entourage, and shouted long live. Seeing that the king of Qin didn't need the city to compensate Zhao, Xiang Ru stepped forward and said, "There is a small spot on the wall. Let me show it to the king. " When the king of Qin handed him the jade, he stepped back with it and leaned against the post, furious. He said to the king of Qin, "Your Majesty wants the treasure jade and sent a letter to the king of Zhao. The king of Zhao summoned his ministers to discuss. Everyone said,' Qin is insatiable. With its strength, it is impossible to get Baoyu with empty words. "As a result of the negotiation, I don't want to give the treasure to Qin. But I don't think the communication between ordinary people will deceive each other, let alone between big countries! Besides, it is wrong to upset the powerful state of Qin for a piece of jade. So the prince of Zhao fasted for five days and sent me to the temple with my treasure and respectfully presented my credentials. Why is this happening? It is to show respect for the prestige of a big country. Now that I am in your country, the king meets me on the general platform, and the etiquette is very arrogant; After getting the treasure, pass it on to the concubines to watch, so as to tease me. I observed that the king had no sincerity to give the fifteen cities of Zhao, so I took back the treasure. Your Majesty, if you must force me, my head will be smashed on the post with Bobby today! "
If you hold a treasure and squint at the court post, you will bump into it. The king of Qin was afraid that he had smashed the treasure, so he apologized to him, insisted on not letting him do so, and called a company to check the map, pointing out that 15 cities from a certain place to a certain place had been given to Zhao.
For example, it is estimated that the king of Qin just pretended to give it to the city of Zhao by fraudulent means. In fact, it is impossible for Zhao to get it, so he said to the king of Qin, "He Shibi is a treasure universally recognized, and the king of Zhao is afraid of your country and dare not give it away. Wang Zhao fasted for five days before sending the imperial seal. Now it's time for the king to fast for five days and arrange the ceremony for nine guests in the palace before I dare to present a treasure. The king of Qin estimated that it was impossible to take it by force after all, so he promised to fast for five days and put Xiangru in Guangcheng Hotel.
For example, it is estimated that although the king of Qin promised to fast, he would certainly break his promise not to distribute it to all cities, so he sent his followers to put on linen clothes, hid them in his arms, escaped from the path and sent them back to Zhao.
Five days after the King of Qin fasted, a grand ceremony was arranged in the palace to entertain Lin Xiangru, the envoy of the State of Zhao. When Xiang Ru arrived, he said to the king of Qin, "None of the more than 20 monarchs in the State of Qin has kept his word since Mu Gong. I was really afraid of being cheated by the king, and I was sorry for the king of Zhao, so I sent someone to take it back. I also returned to Zhao by the same way. Besides, Qin Guoqiang and Zhao Guo are weak. If the king sends an envoy to Zhao, Zhao will send him immediately. Now, with the strength of Qin, fifteen cities were ceded to Zhao. How dare Zhao leave a treasure to offend the king? I know that cheating the king should be punished. I am willing to accept Tang Yong's punishment. I only hope that the king and ministers will take a long-term view on this matter! "
The king of Qin and his ministers looked at each other and gave a wry smile. Some followers want to punish Xiang Ru. The king of Qin took the opportunity to say, "If you kill Xiangru now, you won't get the treasure after all. On the contrary, it will destroy the friendship between Qin and Zhao. It is better to treat him well and let him go back to Zhao. Will Zhao cheat Qin for a piece of jade? " In the end, Xiang Ru was grandly received in the palace, and a diplomatic gift was held after the DPRK meeting to send him back to China.
After Xiangru returned to China, the Prince of Zhao thought that he was a wise doctor, and he could be loyal to the vassal States, so he was named Xiangru as a doctor.
Since then, Qin has not given these cities to Zhao, and Zhao has not given Qin its treasures.
After that, Qin attacked Zhao and seized Shicheng. The next year, Qin attacked Zhao again, killing 20,000 people. The king of Qin sent an envoy to tell the king of Zhao that he wanted to meet the king of Zhao in Mianchi, outside the Xihe River. The prince of Zhao was afraid of Qin and decided not to go. Lian Po and Lin Xiangru discussed: "If your majesty doesn't go, it will appear that Zhao is timid." "The prince of Zhao went to the party, accompanied by Lin Xiangru. Lian Po sent him to the border to bid farewell to the King of Zhao, saying, "Your Majesty's trip, the estimated distance and the end of the talks, plus the time for his return, will not exceed 30 days. If you don't come back within 30 days, please allow us to make the prince king, so as to cut off the delusion that Qin is a threat. Zhao Wang agreed, and then went to Mianchi to see Qin Wang.
Qin Wang was drunk and said, "I heard privately that Zhao Wang likes music." Please play the harp! " "The prince of Zhao played the harp. The historian of Qin stood up and wrote: "On a certain day, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao drank together, making the king of Zhao play the piano." Lin Xiangru stepped forward and said, "I heard privately that he is good at Qin local folk music. Please let me give the king of Qin a basin to appreciate each other. " The king of Qin was angry and refused. At this time, Lin Xiangru offered a tile and knelt down to invite the king of Qin to play. The king of Qin refused to stop. Lin Xiangru said, "If I commit suicide in these five steps, the blood in my neck will spill on the king of Qin! "The attendants of the king of Qin wanted to kill Lin Xiangru, and Lin Xiangru scolded loudly with his eyes wide open, and the attendants all retreated in fear. So the king of Qin was very unhappy and had to knock at the door. Xiang Ru turned back to greet Zhao Shi and wrote: "On a certain day in a certain year, the king of Qin was attacked by the king of Zhao. "The ministers of the State of Qin said," Please pay tribute to the King of Qin in the fifteen cities of Zhao. " Lin Xiangru also said, "Please give gifts to the prince of Zhao in Xianyang, Qin. "
Until the end of the banquet, the king of Qin never overwhelmed the king of Zhao. Ye Zhao deployed a large number of troops to guard against Qin, so Qin did not dare to make a move.
After Mianchi meeting, he returned to Zhao. Because of Lin Xiangru's great contribution, he was named Shangqing, and his official position was above Lian Po.
Lian Po said: "As the general of Zhao, I have made great contributions to attacking cities and fighting wild fields, while Lin Xiangru has just made some contributions by talking eloquently, but his position is above mine. Besides, Lin Xiangru was born in a humble background, and I feel ashamed and can't stand being under him. " And threatened that "when I see Lin Xiangru, I must humiliate him." Lin Xiangru didn't want to see Lian Po. Every time Lin Xiangru goes to court, he often claims that he is sick and doesn't want to compete with Lian Po for priority. Before long, when Lin Xiangru went out, he saw Lian Po and Lin Xiangru turned around and avoided.
So Lin Xiangru's men and women came to Lin Xiangru to persuade them, saying, "The reason why we left our relatives to serve you is that we admire your integrity. Now you are like Lian Po. Lian Po speaks ill of you, but you dare not avoid him. You are so timid that ordinary people are ashamed, let alone leaders! We people have no future, please let us resign! " Lin Xiangru firmly kept them. He said, "Who do you think is stronger, General Lian or the King of Qin?" He said, "Even the generals are not as good as the king of Qin." Lin Xiangru said, "With the strength of the King of Qin, you dare to reprimand in court and humiliate the ministers. I, Lin Xiangru, though incompetent, shall be afraid of even the general! But I think of the powerful state of Qin because the two of us dare not fight Zhao. Now we are fighting with each other, just like two tigers fighting, and we can't survive at the same time. I am so patient, that is, putting the national crisis ahead and personal grievances behind! "
Hearing these words, Lian Po took off his coat, showed his upper body, put a whip on his back, and was led to Lin Xiangru's door by the guests to apologize. He said: "I am a vulgar and humble person. I didn't expect the general to have such a broad mind!"
The two finally made love, made up, and became friends of life and death.
