The positions of doctor and Qing are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Doctor Shang is the highest-ranking doctor. Shang Qing is the highest official post below the vassal. In the sixteenth year of King Zhao of Huiwen (283 BC), Lian Po was promoted to Shangqing for his meritorious service in cutting Qi. Lin Xiangru is also Shangqing, but because he is a civilian, he was on the right of Lian Po when he was in court. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, power was respected, so the article said that Lin Xiangru's position was higher than that of Lian Po. Zhao died in the twenty-first year (245 BC), and his son Zhao Yan succeeded him as the king of Zhao Mou. Sad fatuous, abolish the virtuous prince, and move Zhao, who is not virtuous, to be the prince. King Mouxiang died after nine years in office, and Zhao ascended the throne for the Miao king.
In 229 BC, Qin attacked Zhao, and King Miao of Zhao sent Li Mu and Sima Shang to resist. Li Mu is an outstanding general of Zhao. In 233 BC, he defeated Qin Jun Yu Fei (now Lulong, Hebei Province) and was awarded the title of Wu Anjun. General Qin has always been afraid of Li Mu, so he used double agents to buy off Guo Kai, the favorite of Zhao Miaowang. So Guo Kai spread rumors that Li Mu and Sima Shang were going to rebel. Zhao Qian, the Miao king, has been fatuous and immoral since childhood. He listened to rumors without analysis, replaced Li Mu and Sima Shang with Zhao Cong and Yanju, and killed Li Mu. When I heard that Li Mu was dead, Wang Jian, a general of Qin State, led an army to defeat Zhao State and killed him in World War I.. Qin Jun broke through and broke Han. Captured Zhao Haoqi Youmiao. Exile him to Fangling, Henan. Minister Zhao was appointed acting king, both in Yecheng (now southwest of Yuxian County, Hebei Province). In 36 BC (222 BC), Qin Jun marched into Daicheng. Dai Wang Jia Qin,
In the twentieth year of Zhao Huiwen (278 BC), Lian Po conquered an army of Qi. In February of the twentieth year of Huiwen (276 BC), he cut Qi again and captured Jiucheng. The following year, Lian Po attacked Wei and captured Fangling (now twenty miles south of Anyang, Henan Province) and Anyang City (now forty-three miles southwest of Anyang County, Henan Province). It is precisely because of Lian's friendship with Lin that Zhao United as one and served the country, which made Zhao once strong.
In 266 BC, Zhao Huiwen died and became king. At this time, at the request of Fan Sui, the State of Qin adopted the strategy of "making friends with Qi and Chu", and at the same time attacked small neighboring countries. In the fifty-fifth year of Zhou Nanwang (260 BC), the State of Qin attacked Shangdang in North Korea. The south Korean defenders attending the banquet were helpless, so the satrap dedicated the banquet to Zhao. As a result, there was a war between Qin and Zhao in Shangdang area. At this time, Zhao She was dead, Lin Xiangru was seriously ill, and only Lian Po was in charge of military affairs. So, Lian Po was ordered to command two hundred thousand Zhao soldiers and keep them out of Changping (now northwest of Gaoping County, Shaanxi Province) (see the battle of Changping). At that time, Qin Jun had taken the wild king from the south (now Qinyang, Henan) and slightly joined the Party from the north (now central Shanxi), cutting off the connection between Changping and the south, and his morale was high. The Zhao army came from afar, not only at a disadvantage, but also at a passive disadvantage. Faced with this situation, Lian Po correctly adopted the operational policy of establishing base areas to hold on, consuming the enemy and attacking the enemy with cameras. He ordered Zhao to build a tight barrier by virtue of mountain hazards. Despite Qin Jun's several challenges, Lian Po always shuts the crowd out. At the same time, the people in Shangdang area were concentrated, engaged in battlefield transportation, and committed to building fortifications against Qin. Zhao heavily guarded, unable to meet the challenge, and his spirit gradually lost. In order to defeat Qin Jun's plan of a quick victory, Lian Po fought hard and persisted for three years. Seeing that it was impossible to make a quick decision, Qin persuaded the prince of Zhao with trickery. What Qin was most worried about and afraid of was to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Wang was eager to win, and finally fell into a trap. He thinks that Lian Po is afraid of war, forcing him to resign from Lian Po and use Zhao Kuo as his general. Although Lin Xiangru protested that Zhao Kuo, an armchair strategist, was not suitable for this post, the prince of Zhao did not listen and appointed Zhao Kuo as general. After Zhao Kuo replaced Lian Po, Lian Po's strategic plan was completely changed and many officers were replaced. Seeing that Zhao Kuo became a general, Qin secretly asked Wu's troops to attack Zhao. In Changping, he defeated the Zhao Kuo army, shot and killed Zhao Kuo, and trapped more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers. In the battle of Zhao Changping, Zhao lost 450 thousand people.
After the battle of Changping, Qin took the opportunity to surround Handan, the capital of Zhao (see the battle of Handan), which lasted more than a year. Fortunately, Wei's son Xin stole the military symbol and saved him, but his national strength was greatly reduced.
Yan took Zhao to Changping, and Prime Minister Li abdomen was the general. In view of Zhao's situation that "the strong are all in Changping, but they are unable to do their own thing", Qin sent troops to attack Zhao in the 56th year (the first 25 1 year). Zhao named Lian Po as a general and commanded the famous battle of governance. He divided the whole army into two roads. One led by Lecheng went straight to the local area to fight against the Yan army on the West Road, and the other led by himself to face the main force of the Yan army in Juancheng (now Baixiang County, Hebei Province). Lian Po commanded Zhao, who was jointly guarding the township, and adopted the tactics of concentrating his forces and bashing the enemy head-on. The first battle was successful, which defeated the enemy soldiers and knocked out the arrogance of the Yan army. Then, he led the Zhao army to defeat the main force of the Yan army and cut the chestnut belly. Commander-in-Chief Yan Jun was beheaded and fled in panic. Lian Po seized the opportunity of the retreat of the Yan army, and ordered the Zhao army to pursue 56-point attack and drive five hundred miles. In the first 250 years, he entered Ji (now Beijing), the capital of Yan State. The prince of Yan was very happy to see that Yan was in danger, so he had to agree to all the requirements of Zhao, such as ceding 5 cities and making peace with Zhao. Lian Po was honored as the prime minister for his work. About 67 years before and after Ren Xiangguo, Lian Po repeatedly repelled the invading enemy and waited for an opportunity to attack. In the first 245 years, the troops captured Longyang (now the northwest of Neihuang County, Henan Province), indicating that Zhao Guoli had recovered.
Lian Po was dismissed by Changping and went home. When he lost power, all his former clients left. When he was reused as a general, the public gathered again. Lian Po was very excited and asked them to retreat. The public told him that it was nothing strange. This is to make friends by buying and selling in the market. If you have the strength, we will follow you. If you have no electricity, we will leave. This is common sense in business. What's to complain about?
In the second year of Qin Shihuang (245 BC), Zhao Chengxiao died as king, and his son Zhao Dunxiang succeeded him. King Xiang listened to the slanderers of treacherous court official Guo Kai, dismissed Lian Po and sent Lecheng instead of Lian Po. Angry at being excluded, Lian Po attacked Lecheng, and Lecheng fled. Lian Po left Zhao and went to Liang of Wei (now Kaifeng, Henan). Lian Po lived in Daliang for a long time. Although Wang Wei took him in, he didn't trust him. Because Zhao was besieged for many times, the king of Zhao wanted to appoint Lian Po and Lian Po wanted to be appointed by Zhao. The prince of Zhao sent Tang Jiu, the eunuch, to see Lian Po with a pair of precious armor and four fast horses to see if Lian Po could still be used. Guo Kai, the enemy of Lian Po, secretly gave Tang Jiu a lot of money and spoke ill of Lian Po, fearing that Lian Po would take power again. When Zhao's emissary met Lian Po, Lian Po was very happy to hear that Zhao Wang wanted to use him. He ate a bucket of rice and 10 Jin of meat at a meal in front of him, put on his armor and got on the horse, which showed that he was still useful. But the messenger came back and reported to the king of Zhao: "General Lian is old and eats well, but he sat with me and shit three times in a short time." The prince of Zhao thought Lian Po was old, so he was not appointed, and Lian Po never had a chance to serve his country again.
When Chu heard that Lian Po was in Wei, he secretly sent someone to meet him. After Lian Po became a general of Chu, he made no achievements. He said: "I want to show my attachment to the folks in my motherland with Zhao people (Biography of Historical Records, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru). However, after all, Zhao failed to reuse him, which led to the depression of this generation of famous soldiers who made great contributions to Zhao Li, and finally died in Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province) of Chu State. Ten years later, Zhao was destroyed by Qin (see the battle of Qin destroying Zhao).
Lian Po Mausoleum is located on the south slope of Niufang Mountain, Bagong Mountain, 7 kilometers north of Shouxian County. The tomb faces west and has a circumference of 300 meters. It borders the Huaihe River in the west and is surrounded by mountains in the north, south and east. A generation of romantic scenery attracts mountains and rivers to win. "Heshibi" is the name of a piece of Baoyu, which has an extraordinary origin. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, a man named Bian He found a piece of jade (that is, unprocessed jade) in Chushan and presented it to Li, the king of Chu. Li Guowang asked experts to identify jade, and the result was stone. King Li was furious and thought that Bian He was deceiving himself, so he cut off Bian He's left foot on charges of deceiving the monarch. Soon, Li Wang died and acceded to the throne. Bian He presented this jade to him. King Wu also invited experts to identify jade, which turned out to be stone. King Wu cut off Bian He's right foot for cheating the king. After the death of King Wu, King Wen ascended the throne. Bian He held Yupu to Chushan's feet and cried for three days and nights. Tears dried up, and finally I cried blood. When King Wen heard this, he sent someone to ask him, saying, "Many people in the world don't cry like this because their feet have been cut off. Why are you crying like this? " Bian He replied, "I didn't cry because my foot was cut off. I am sad that someone actually called Baoyu a stone and accused a loyal minister of cheating. " King Wen sent someone to process this jade pu, which proved to be a rare treasure. So I named this treasure jade "He Shibi". Because of its rarity and extraordinary origin, this piece of Baoyu has become a world-recognized treasure, and its value is priceless. This is also the reason why the king of Qin did not hesitate to use the fifteen cities as "bait" to defraud the king of Zhao of "harmony".
