During the Warring States Period, the King of Zhao got a precious treasure jade that was originally lost by the State of Chu-"Heshibi". When the king of Qin knew about this, he sent an envoy to see the king of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for "Choi-i".

Wang Zhao read the letter and thought: The King of Qin has always been a man who only wants to take advantage and refuses to suffer. How can you be so generous this time? If you don't agree to his request, you are afraid of the Qin attack; When you say yes, you are afraid of being cheated. He thought and thought, and when he couldn't make up his mind, he discussed it with the ministers, but they couldn't think of any good way.

When Lin Xiangru knew this, he said to the prince of Zhao, "Your Majesty, let me take' Heshibi' to see the king of Qin. I'll play it by ear when I get there. If the king of Qin refuses to exchange fifteen cities, I will definitely bring back' Heshibi' intact. " Knowing that Lin Xiangru was a brave and witty man, the prince of Zhao agreed to go.

When Lin Xiangru arrived in Qin, the king of Qin greeted him in the palace. Lin Xiangru dedicated his "Harmony" to the King of Qin. The king of Qin took it and looked around and fondled it. After reading it, he handed it to the ministers one by one and then to the concubines in the harem.

Lin Xiangru stood there alone, waiting for a long time, but he didn't see the king of Qin ceding fifteen cities. He knew that the king of Qin did not exchange fifteen cities for Baoyu's sincerity. But Baoyu has been in the hands of the king of Qin. How can I get it back?

He thought about it and came up with a plan. Lin Xiangru went up to the king of Qin and said, "Although this piece of' Heshibi' looks good, it has some flaws. Let me show it to the king. " When the King of Qin heard that the "Choi" was defective, he quickly had Baoyu taken from the harem to Lin Xiangru and asked him to point it out.

Lin Xiangru stepped back with the "He Shen Jade", leaned against the post and said angrily to the king of Qin: "At the beginning, the king of Qin sent a letter to the king of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for the" He Shen Jade "of the king of Zhao.

Minister Zhao said, don't believe Qin's lies. I don't think so. I said that the people still speak faith, not to mention the king of Qin! The prince of Zhao took my advice, and Lin Xiangru sent me to deliver "Choi-hi". Unexpectedly, just now the king took Baoyu and gave it to the people below, but he didn't mention the change of the fifteen cities.

From this point of view, the king really has no sincerity to exchange the city for the wall. Now that Baoyu is in my hand, if your majesty insists on persecuting me, I would rather hit me on the head with this Baoyu on this pillar! "Lin Xiangru said, and raised the" choi ",in the face of pillars, will fall in the past.

Zhao Haoqi of Qin was afraid that Lin Xiangru would really smash Baoyu, so he quickly apologized to Lin Xiangru and said, "Don't worry, doctor, how can what I said not count!" He asked someone to bring the map and pretended to point to it and said, "From here to there, there are fifteen cities, all of which are allocated to Zhao."

Lin Xiangru thought, the king of Qin often plays tricks, don't be fooled by him again! He said to the king of Qin: "This piece of' Heshibi' is a world-famous treasure. When the King of Zhao sent him to the State of Qin, he fasted for five days and held a grand ceremony to introduce Baoyu in the court.

Now the king wants to collect this Baoyu, and he will fast for five days and hold a ceremony to collect Baoyu in the palace so that I can offer Baoyu. The king of Qin didn't want to do this, but seeing Lin Xiangru's resolute attitude, he said helplessly, "Good! Just do it! " Say that finish, he sent someone to send Lin Xiangru to the hotel to rest.

Lin Xiangru took Baoyu's piece and went to the mansion. He asked a man to dress up as a businessman, wrapped Baoyu in his body and secretly ran back to Zhao through the alley. As for what the king of Qin would do to him, he didn't even consider it.

Later, the king of Qin summoned Lin Xiangru, and Lin Xiangru said, "I have sent someone back to Zhao. You should give the fifteen cities to Zhao first, or you will never get the harmony." The king of Qin tried to attack Zhao, but it was useless. He wanted to hold Lin Xiangru hostage, but he also wanted Lin Xiangru to be resourceful and brave, not afraid of death, so he reluctantly let him go back to Zhao.

2, wit retreat Qin's candle.

On September 10, and jointly besieged Zheng, the reason was that Zheng was rude to Wen Gong and belonged to Jin and Chu. The Jin army was stationed in the Han Mausoleum, south of the flood.

Dr Zheng said to Zheng Bo, "Zheng is in danger! If you let the candle force go to see Qin Bo, the army (of Qin State) will definitely retreat. " Zheng Bo agreed. Candlelight Wu declined: "When I was young, I was not as good as others. Now that I am old, I can't do anything. " Zheng Wengong said, "It was my fault that I didn't pay attention to you before. Now I beg you in an emergency. However, Zheng's demise is not good for you! " Candlewood agreed to this matter.

At night (someone) lowered the rope from the city and saw Qin Bo. "Qin Jin besieged Zheng, and Zheng knew his death. If killing Zheng is good for you, how dare you take the liberty to trouble your people with it? You know it's difficult to cross the neighboring countries and regard the distant state of Zheng as a small town in the eastern border. Why destroy Zheng and increase land for neighboring countries?

The neighboring countries are powerful, but the strength of your state of Qin is relatively weak. If you give up the siege of Zheng, it will do you no harm to treat it as the host who receives passers-by on the Oriental Road and provide them with what they lack (as Zheng Can has always done).

Moreover, you once gave Kim a favor, but you promised to give you two cities, Jiao and Zhu. However, as you know, Gong Hui crossed the Yellow River in the morning and built fortifications at night. Jin State, how can it be satisfied? It regards Zheng as its eastern border and wants to expand the border to the west.

If you don't lose money on the land of Qin, where can you get it? Weakening the state of Qin is beneficial to the state of Jin. I hope you will consider this matter! Qin Bo was very happy and signed a covenant with Zheng. Zi, Sun Feng and Sun Yang were sent to defend the State of Zheng, so the State of Qin retreated.

When the generals wanted to attack Qin Jun, Jin Wengong said, "No! Without the strength of that person (Qin Bo), I wouldn't have come this far. It is unjust to rely on others' strength and hurt them in turn; It is unwise to lose allies; It is not in line with martial arts to replace neatness with chaos. Let's go back! " Jin also left Zheng.

3. Yan Zi made a fortune.

Yan Zi was sent to Chu State. Because Yanzi was short, the Chu people opened a small door next to the gate and invited Yanzi in. Yan Zi refused to go in, saying, "People who were sent to the dog country went in through the dog door. Send me to Chu today, and I can't enter this dog gate. " The person who greeted the guests entered the gate with Yan Zigai. (Yan Zi) Visit the King of Chu.

The king of Chu said, "There is no one in Qi to send? I sent you as a special envoy. " Yan Zi replied: "There are 7,500 families in Linzi, the capital of Qi State. People can cover the sky by opening their sleeves together; " Sweating and raining; Pedestrians in the street lean on their shoulders and their toes touch their heels. How can you say that there is no one? "

The king of Chu said, "In that case, why did you come?" Yan Zi replied: "Qi has different rules for sending envoys. Those with virtue and talent are sent to the country where the king of virtue and talent is located, and those without virtue and talent are sent to the country where the king without virtue and talent is located. I, Yan Ying, am the most heartless and have no moral integrity, so I have to send an envoy to Chu. "

Yan Zi will be sent to the State of Chu. When the King of Chu heard the news, he said to the courtiers around him, "Yan Ying is good at talking in Qi. Now he's here. I want to humiliate him. What can I do? " The courtier replied, "When he comes, please allow me to walk past the king with people tied.

The king asked, "What does he do?" I said,' He is from Qi. The king asked (again), "What crime have you committed?" I replied,' He committed theft.' Yanzi came to Chu, and the king of Chu invited Yanzi to drink. Just as he was having fun, two business trips tied a man to the king of Chu.

The king of Chu asked, "What do people who are tied up do? (Tolerance) Answer: "(He) is a Qi person and committed theft. The king of Chu looked at Yan Zi and asked, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" ? Yan Zi stood up from his seat and replied, "I heard that oranges south of Huaihe River and oranges north of Huaihe River have similar leaves, but different fruits.

Why is this happening? The soil and water conditions are different. People don't steal from Qi, they steal from Chu. Does the soil and water of Chu make people like stealing? The king of Chu said with a smile, "A saint can't joke with him, but I'll embarrass myself.

4. Sui Tang lived up to his mission.

The King of Qin sent someone to see Anling Jun (the monarch of Anling State), saying, "I want to exchange 500 miles of land in Fiona Fang for Anling. Please promise me! "

An Lingjun said: "The king gave us a favor and exchanged our small territory for a large territory. This is really a good thing; Even so, this is the fief I inherited from my late king. I am willing to always guard and dare not exchange! " The king of Qin was very unhappy when he learned about it. So Anlingjun sent Tang Ju to the State of Qin.

The King of Qin said to Tang Ju, "I traded 500 miles of land in Fiona Fang for Anlingjun, but Anlingjun didn't listen to me. Why? Besides, the State of Qin destroyed the State of Southern Wei, but Anlingjun survived with the land of five miles. Because I regarded Anlingjun as a loyal minister, I didn't play his mind.

Now I use ten times the land of Anling to let Anling Jun expand his territory, but he goes against my will. Isn't this contempt for me? "Tang Ju replied," no, it's not. A Ling Junren inherited the fief from the former king, so he guarded it. Even thousands of miles around dare not exchange, let alone only 500 miles. "

The king of Qin was furious and said to Tang Ju, "Have you ever heard of the anger of the Emperor?" Tang Ju replied: "I have never heard of it." The king of Qin said, "When the Emperor was angry, millions of corpses were lying everywhere, and blood flowed thousands of miles." Tang Ju said, "Has your Majesty ever heard that people are angry?"

The king of Qin said, "When people get angry, they take off their hats, walk barefoot and hit their heads on the ground." Tang Ju said: "This is the anger of mediocre and incompetent people, not the anger of talented and courageous people. When Zhuan Xu assassinated Wu Wangliao, the comet's tail swept the moon; When Nie Zheng assassinated Han Jing, a white light shone directly at the sun.

When Qing Ji was about to be assassinated, the goshawk pounced on the palace. All three of them are talented and courageous people among the common people. Before the anger in their hearts broke out, God gave them a sign of good or bad luck.

Now (Zhuan, Nie Zheng, leave), plus me, it will be four people. If people with courage and ability (forced) must be angry, let the bodies of two people fall, and the whole world will be Dai Xiao because of it within five steps. This is the situation today. "Say that finish (Tang Ju) sword (sword not drawn).

The king of Qin changed his face, knelt down straight, apologized to Tang Ju, and said, "Please sit down, sir, how did this happen! I think: the southern country and the state of Wei are extinct, but Anling exists by virtue of the land of fifty miles, because you are there! "

5. Ban Chao was sent to the Western Regions.

In the early days of Emperor Han Ming, the Xiongnu family dominated the western countries, repeatedly coercing the western countries to send troops to attack the eastern Han border and plunder the eastern Han Hexi and other regions. So in 73 AD, Ban Chao abandoned his pen and joined hands with Dou Gu and others to conquer the Huns.

When Ban Chao and others first arrived in Shanshan, they used their superb eloquence to persuade their subordinates to attack the northern Xiongnu emissary who had been stationed in Shanshan at night and successfully killed him. Later, they coaxed the king of Shanshan to submit to the Eastern Han Dynasty, successfully persuaded the king of Shanshan to agree to enter the DPRK, and sent his son to the Eastern Han Dynasty as a servant.

During this trip to the western regions, Ban Chao and others arrived in Khotan, successfully suppressed and appeased Khotan, made Khotan belong to the imperial court, and also made other countries in the western regions agree to submit to the Eastern Han Dynasty. So far, after a lapse of 56 years, the relationship between the Western Regions and the Central Plains has been restored. It was not until A.D. 102 that Ban Chao returned to Luoyang.
