Lianpo , The extremely talented military strategist and famous general of Zhao State during the Warring States Period, and has assisted the three kings of King Zhao Huiwen , King Zhao Xiaocheng , and Zhao Dao King Xiang .
Lian Po led his army to fight in the east and west, and was invincible and famous. Lin Xiangru was originally a disciple of the eunuch Miao Xian who made a name for returning Zhao with a complete jade and was promoted to the great master. Later, because he was successful in the hiding King of Qin at the flooded banquet, he was appointed as the Supreme Minister, and his status was higher than Lian Po, which made Lian Po very dissatisfied and wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
In 279 BC, King Zhao of Qin wanted to stabilize Zhao and attack Chu with all his strength, so he invited King Huiwen of Zhao to discuss the attack on Chu.
Zhao Wang is very worried that there will be an unexpected situation in this trip and is unwilling to go there. General Lian Po and Senior Doctor Lin Xiangru agreed that if King Zhao refused to go, it would appear that Zhao was afraid of Qin , so it would be better to go to the appointment. Lin Xiangru expressed his willingness to follow King Zhao, and at the same time suggested that King Zhao be prepared and let Lian Po lead his troops stationed near the border and be ready to respond at any time. So King Zhao did what he said. Before leaving, King Zhao adopted Lian Po's suggestion and left an order: If King Zhao still cannot return to the country for thirty days, please ask the prince to ascend the throne to prevent Qin from holding King Zhao hostage and causing a situation of unprisoned state in the country.
After King Zhao arrived at Yanchi, the King of Qin held a banquet to entertain him. During the banquet, the two sides fought openly and secretly at the banquet, and Zhao always suppressed Qin. Since Zhao had deployed heavy troops on the border, the King of Qin did not dare to do anything to King Zhao, so he had to let King Zhao and his party return safely.
Lin Xiangru was appointed as the Supreme Minister by King Zhao for his achievements in flooding the pond, and his status surpassed Lian Po. This made Lian Po complain. He thought: "I, Lian Po, led my army to fight and fight, and risked my life to make a lot of contributions to be able to occupy this high position; and you, Lin Xiangru, can only be above me by being smart and doing a few small things. It's simply outrageous!" He did not hide his hostility to Lin Xiangru, and always wanted to find an opportunity to teach Lin Xiangru a lesson.
After Lin Xiangru found out, in order to avoid conflicts with Lian Po, he avoided him everywhere and even took a detour when going out.
Lin Xiangru's followers felt that Lin Xiangru was very cowardly and were very dissatisfied with him. Lin Xiangru said to them, "How do you think General Lian is compared with King Qin?" The followers all said, "It is not as powerful as King Qin." Lin Xiangru said, "I dare to scold and threaten him in public for people like King Qin. How could I be afraid of General Lian Po? Lin Xiangru continued, "I just think that our Zhao State is always under the threat of Qin State, and if you are not careful, you will give them an opportunity to take advantage of it." As important officials of Zhao State, if there is still an internal strife at this time, where can we put Zhao State's safety? It is precisely in order to put the country first that I avoid General Lian Po in this way. "After hearing this, the followers admired Lin Xiangru very much. After that, they treated everyone in Lian Po's mansion with courtesy.
Later, Lian Po learned about Lin Xiangru's words. He felt ashamed and hated that he was narrow-minded and acted in anger, which almost caused a big mistake. Lin Xiangru was concerned about the safety of the country and was magnanimous, which also made Lian Po very impressed.
So, Lian Po took off his battle robe, naked, and carried a jingtie to Lin Xiangru's disciple to apologize, saying, "Liang Po is narrow-minded and wants to be an enemy of you. Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed. I am here to apologize to you, please punish me! "After saying that, he was about to kneel down. Lin Xiangru hurriedly helped him up, untied the rope, threw away the thorn, and said, "The general is so serious, I dare not be a Xiangru ! The general fought for the country, and made great contributions through life and death. Xiangru wishes to share the national responsibility with the general. If we unite and work together, we will definitely be able to resist the powerful Qin and defend Zhao! ”
After that, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru became close friends and worked together for Zhao, which made Qin dare not offend Zhao for a long time.
