A hero is known in the time of misfortune. During the changing Warring States period, a large number of civilian military commanders emerged, each of whom showed his abilities and occupied a prominent position in the colorful hero gallery, reflecting the times.
Lin Xiangru was the family of Miao Xian, the eunuch leader of Zhao. He was promoted normally, so it is difficult to occupy the position of the country. However, the fierce struggle between Qin and Zhao provided him with an opportunity to stand out.
At the end of the Warring States period, Qiang Qin stepped up its offensive to annex six eastern countries, and Sanjin was the first country to do so. After several major battles, Han Wei's national strength declined sharply, and he dared not confront Qin Wei. Since King Wuling of Zhao (325- 229 BC) rode a horse to shoot and reform in Daxing, Zhao tried to become stronger than other countries in the Central Plains and became a strong enemy of Qin Xiangdong's development. In Zhao Huiwen's later period (307 BC-2,565,438 BC+0 BC), the offensive of Qin State intensified, and the diplomatic and military struggle between Qin and Zhao became increasingly complicated.
Qin (307 BC-25 BC1) proposed to Zhao Huiwen in the 16th year (283 BC) that the city should be 15. This is political blackmail by powerful countries against weak countries. A piece of jade on the wall is no more precious than 15 city. Just take this opportunity to test Zhao's reality. When the news came, Zhao Junchen knew it was blackmail, but nothing happened. If you say yes, it is obvious that "Qin Cheng may not get it", and you will be fooled by Zhao, even less sure. If not, Qin will easily get an excuse to send troops to Zhao, and Zhao will face the threat of war. This passive situation is an inevitable situation that weak countries' diplomacy is difficult to plan.
At this critical moment, Lin Xiangru stepped forward and broke the deadlock. He compared the strength of Qin and Zhao, and showed that Zhao could not resist by force, but could adopt the strategy of "losing Qin Ge rather than losing" from a moral point of view, exposing Qin's deception, so that Qin could not get an excuse to send troops, and Zhao took the initiative morally.
When the plan was approved, Lin Xiangru reported himself as "willing to be on the wall", and Jing promised that "the city will enter Zhao and the wall will stay in Qin, but the city will not enter. I am willing to return to Zhao after the Great Wall. "
Su Qin called it "the country of tigers and wolves", and the difficulty of this task can be imagined. However, Lin Xiangru had made careful consideration and full preparation beforehand, so he took the initiative to deal with the situation. The king of Qin received him in the temple, despised the Zhao envoy, and after receiving the imperial seal, he had no intention of compensating the city. Lin Xiangru outwitted the national treasure and sternly exposed the scam, which gained the upper hand. The Qin people wanted to retake the Jade Wall by force. Lin Xiangru was furious and raised the pillar of the wall, expressing his determination to live and die with the national treasure * * *, safeguarding Zhao's dignity with his life and winning the victory of "returning the wall to Zhao".
In the 20th year of Huiwen (the first 279 years), the Mianchi meeting of Qin and Zhao was another political coercion of Qin to Zhao. At that time, Qin had lost to Zhao in succession, so he was afraid of Qin. When Qin invited to attend the meeting, "I want to go" Lin Xiangru thought; "Not daring to do this shows Zhao's cowardice and timidity." Therefore, I signed up to accompany Wang Zhao to the meeting. During the talks, with his wit and eloquence, he stopped the bullying of Qin, defeated the coercion of Qin, and won the diplomatic struggle again.
Lian Po, general of Zhao Zhiliang, repeatedly made meritorious military service, became a sublime vassal and was worshipped as Shangqing. The victory of Lin Xiangru's two diplomatic struggles is closely related to Lian Po's commanding troops. Qin only used diplomatic activities to test the truth and falsehood, precisely because of Lian Po's force. In this regard, Lin Xiangru has a clear understanding, while Lian Po, who is proud of his merits, is ignorant of the overall situation. When Xiang Ru was worshipped as a senior minister for his work and was above himself, he was extremely angry and publicly declared, "If I see him, I will be humiliated." Opened the posture of the competition.
In response to Lian Po's challenge, Lin Xiangru's countermeasures are as follows: every time he meets the DPRK, he often says that he is sick and does not compete with Lian Po; Lian Po, Lu Yu, lead more cars to avoid hiding, so as to avoid conflict. When the disciples thought they were insulted and asked to leave, Lin Xiangru confessed to them: "The reason why we dare not send more troops to Zhao is because we are all here. Nowadays, two tigers are killing each other, which is far from the same. I did this out of national urgency and personal hatred. "
This touching account not only made the public suddenly realize and deeply moved, but also made Lian Po feel ashamed after hearing it. He was filled with remorse and immediately apologized humbly, so the two became awkward friends. The sum of all the phases ensured that Zhao would unite against Qin in the next 15 years.
After Zhao Huiwen's death, Zhao Chengxiao succeeded to the throne and was used by the Empress Dowager when she was young. Zhao She, another Shangqing of Zhao, died, and Lin Xiangru was seriously ill. In the fourth year of Cheng Xiao in Zhao Haoqi (262 BC), the State of Qin sent troops to attack Changping of Zhao (now northwest of Gaoping County, Shaanxi Province). In order to avoid Qin Jun's powerful offensive, Lian Po stopped fighting. After three years of stalemate, the State of Qin sent people to alienate the Prince of Zhao, prompting him to replace the cautious and prudent Lian Po with Zhao Kuo who had no combat experience. The plot failed to escape Lin Xiangru's eyes. Despite his illness, he advised the king of Zhao: "Your name is all around. If you stick to the post, drum your ears." I can read his father's biography, but I don't know how to change it. "But the prince of Zhao didn't listen, which eventually led to a fiasco in Changping, with 450,000 soldiers injured and weakened. From then on, Zhao went from bad to worse, and was destroyed by Qin in the sixth year of Wang Jia (first 222 years).
Lin Xiangjia's life was spent in the struggle to safeguard the dignity of the motherland and defend the Zhao regime. As far as his behavior is concerned, he is obviously a politician with profound political accomplishment and outstanding knowledge, and the story of his "reconciliation" with Lian Po has written a hymn of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. This song handed down from generation to generation has aroused strong patriotic feelings, played an important educational role in purifying people's spiritual world, and has become the most precious spiritual wealth in our traditional culture.
