Xianyang Palace, King Qin's study.

"Han Ran, the king of Han, is really mediocre, he was actually slightly frightened, so he ceded the land within a radius of 100 miles, and brought a Korean princess with him!" Qin Wang Yingzheng was a little crying and laughing.

"Han Ran, the king of Han, is weak and can be bullied, and there was a precedent of ceding the party back then. In addition, they alienated Han Xiang Zhang Ping's father and son, Gongzi Han Fei, and the general Han Teng, but became close to Pingshan Marquis Han Chuang, Mo Cheng, You Ji and other traitorous ministers. Meng Yi was not surprised at all, "The king knows that there have been some major events in Zhao Guo recently. ”

"What?" King Yingzheng of Qin suddenly asked with interest.

At the end of last year, Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao, died, and he was nicknamed Zhao Xiaocheng. The crown prince Zhao Yan succeeded to the throne, and as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he listened to the slander of the traitor Guo Kai, relieved Lian Po of his military position, and sent Le Cheng to replace Lian Po, who led the troops abroad. Lian Po was angry because he was ostracized, and attacked Lecheng, who fled. Lian Po then left Zhao and went to Wei. ”

"Haha...... I've been so lucky lately! King Yingzheng of Qin was very happy, and at the same time curious, "Lian Po has never fought for power, how did he offend the minister Guo Kai?" ”

Guo Kai used the road construction project to collect bribes, which caused the whole country of Zhao to complain, and also affected the military operations of the Zhao army. Lian Po couldn't look past it, so he reprimanded him a few words and reminded him to pay attention to cherishing the people's strength and being sympathetic to the people's feelings. Over the years, Guo Kai has always been obsessed with Lian Po. Now that the crown prince Zhao Yan has become the king of Zhao, he wants to take advantage of King Zhao's favor and trust in him to find an opportunity to clean up Lianpo. Meng Yi explained in detail based on the information sent back by the black-clothed guard and the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

"Hey, why don't these good generals refuse to come to the Qin State, otherwise the widow has already swept away the Three Jins." King Qin Yingzheng couldn't help but sigh with some pity.

"Lian Po defected to the Wei State, I am afraid that he was also worried that the Zhao State would not be able to resist the Qin State alone, so he wanted to unite with the Wei State to resist the attack of the Qin State! The veteran Lian Po, who is in the Wei State, is in Zhao! Meng Yi naturally kindly reminded.

"In this case, we must not let Wei reuse Lian Po!" King Qin Yingzheng said categorically.

"Great King, don't worry about this situation, because there are also some situations in the Wei State that are favorable to Great Qin." Meng Yi said in a very affirmative tone.

"What? Could it be that this year is really a festive year for Daqin? King Yingzheng of Qin was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but dance with his hands and be very excited.

"This matter is a bit long to say, the king should know that Xinling Jun is a very talented person, so he is very suspicious of Wei Yu, the king of Wei. Since his withdrawal from Hangu Pass, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, has never been entrusted with important tasks, but has been constrained by the king of Wei everywhere. The king listened to Weichen tell a story and understood. Meng Yi said slowly:

Once, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, was playing chess with Wei Yu, the king of Wei. And an alarm came from the northern border, saying: "Zhao sent troops to attack and will enter the border." ”

Wei Yu, the king of Wei, immediately put down the chess pieces and convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, dissuaded Wei Yu, the king of Wei, and said: "It's just that the king of Zhao is hunting, not an invasion of the border." Then he played chess with Wei Yu, the king of Wei, as if nothing had happened.

But Wei Yu, the king of Wei, was frightened and had no intention of playing chess.

After a while, news came from the north: "It was King Zhao who was hunting, not invading the border." ”

Wei Yu, the king of Wei, was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "How did Gongzi know?" ”

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji replied, "One of my diners can find out King Zhao's secret, and if King Zhao makes any moves, he will immediately report to me, so I know about it." ”

From then on, Wei Yu, the king of Wei, did not dare to appoint him to handle state affairs because he was afraid of the meritocracy of Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling.

After the widow had heard that the Five Kingdoms' plan to attack Qin had failed, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, was already disheartened, and after returning to Wei, he no longer went to the court, and feasted and drank with the guests all night at home, drank strong wine, and often messed with women and indulged in wine. Unexpectedly, Wei Yu, the king of Wei, had long been on guard against Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling! Qin Wang Yingzheng said with emotion, falling into deep thought.

"Wei Yu, the king of Wei, favored Longyang Jun Su Xiu, but unfortunately although Longyang Jun Su Xiu was skilled in swordsmanship, his ability to manage the political country was average. However, Su Xiu, the monarch of Longyang, was somewhat self-aware, and did not exclude and persecute Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, but repeatedly advised Wei Yu, the king of Wei, not to fall for the discord of the Qin State. ”

"I see, the widow still wonders why Xinling Jungong is so high that he has been safe and sound after returning to China. It turned out that it was Longyang Jun Su Xiu who eased the contradiction on the side. "Zhao Guo has Li Mu Lianpo, South Korea has Zhang Ping Han Teng, are there any other talents in Wei State?"

"In addition to Xinling Jun Wei Wuji and Longyang Jun Su Xiu, Ningling Jun Wei Qi and Gongzi Wei Bao are quite famous, but they are young and cannot participate in the Wei Dynasty for the time being!"

If you look at it this way, neither Han nor Wei is afraid. The widow is still worried that if Zhao King Zhao Yan comes to his senses and uses Lian Po again, when the time comes, Zhao has two generals, Li Mu and Lian Po, when will my Qin State annex the Three Jins? "Although King Yingzheng of Qin is young, he has a vicious vision.

"Weichen knows what to do, maybe he can borrow a knife to kill someone, after all, Guo Kai is the most reluctant to return to Zhao State!" Although Meng Yi was unwilling to persecute his loyal minister Lian Po, he had to give advice to King Yingzheng of Qin, so he had to sacrifice the veteran Lian Po.

"Murder with a knife? Good strategy, Meng Yi, you're really getting worse and worse! The strategy of the hidden arrow to hurt people has been used perfectly! King Yingzheng of Qin did not forget to tease Meng Yi, with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Where, where, compared with the king, Weichen is like a firefly to the bright moon for glory, eclipsed!" Meng Yi saw that King Yingzheng of Qin was in a good mood, and he also took the opportunity to deepen the feelings between the monarch and the minister.

"Firefly and Haoyue? Haha......" King Yingzheng of Qin laughed and said, "Although it is a hurtful word, it is pleasing to the ear!" ”

Lian Po is over 80 years old now, and he is one of the only two famous generals left in Zhao Guoshuo, and is known as the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States" along with Bai Qi, Wang Jian and Li Mu. Brave and resolute, he has repeatedly made military exploits, and is famous among the princes. The most famous is the "will be harmonious" similar to Lin Xiang.

Because of Lin Xiangru's great contributions, he was named Shangqing, ranking above Lian Po.

Lian Po said: "I am the general of Zhao State, and I have great merit in siege and field warfare, and Lin Xiangru has only made some achievements by being able to speak and understand, but his status is above me, and Lin Xiangru was originally a civilian, I feel ashamed, and I can't bear it under him." Then he threatened: "When I meet Xiangru, I must humiliate him." ”

When Lin Xiangru heard this, he refused to meet him. Lin Xiangru often said that he was sick and did not want to compete with Lian Po for the order of rank. It didn't take long for Lin Xiangru to go out, and when he saw Lian Po from a distance, he turned around and avoided it.

So Lin Xiangru's disciples came together and bluntly admonished: "The reason why we left our relatives to serve you is to admire your noble righteousness." Now that you are in the same official position as Lian Po, General Lian speaks ill of him, but you are afraid of avoiding him, you are too afraid, and mediocre people are still ashamed, let alone a person who is a general! We people are not productive, please let us take our leave! ”

Lin Xiangru resolutely retained them and said, "Who do you think is better than General Lian and King Qin? ”

The guests replied one after another: "General Lian can't compare to King Qin." ”

Lin Xiangru said: "With the prestige of the King of Qin, but I dare to scold him in the court and humiliate his ministers, although I Lin Xiangru is incompetent, will I be afraid of General Lian?" But I thought that the reason why the powerful Qin State did not dare to attack the Zhao State was because of me and General Lian, and now that the two tigers are fighting, they will inevitably not be able to coexist. The reason why I tolerate this is to put the country's urgent needs in front and personal grievances in the back. ”

Lin Xiangru's spirit of putting the interests of the country first and being kind and humble moved Lian Po, so he personally went to Lin Xiangru's house to plead guilty, and the two became friends.

Since then, with the joint efforts of the generals of Zhao Guo's civil and military generals, Zhao has been strong for more than ten years. When Zhao Xiaocheng and Zhao Dan succeeded to the throne, there was a war between Qin and Zhao over the Shangdang region, which is the famous "Battle of Changping" in history. At this time, Lin Xiangru was seriously ill and could not go to the court to persuade Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao, the famous general Zhao Hao also died, and Li Mu was also far away on the frontier to resist the Xiongnu. For a while, in the entire Zhao Kingdom, only Lian Po was left to stand alone. In the early stage of the Battle of Changping, Lian Po adopted a stubborn approach and successfully resisted the attack of the Qin army. In the later period, he was replaced by Zhao Kuo, resulting in a crushing defeat in the Battle of Changping.

After the Battle of Changping, Lian Po ignored his past suspicions, put the interests of the country first, and took on the important task of defending Handan. I don't mind that King Zhao Xiaocheng usually distances himself and only thinks of himself when he is in danger. Nine years later, Lian Po repelled the invasion of Yan State, beheaded the commander of the Yan army, and marched to surround Yandu for March, so that the other party cut five cities to sue for peace, worship Xiangguo, and be named Xinping Jun.

After Zhao Yan, the king of Zhao, ascended the throne, Lian Po was depressed, was victimized by Guo Kai's slander, and went to the Liang of Wei. Lian Po fled to the country to protect himself. Because before him, Le Yi, Meng Weijun, Tian Dan, and Xinling Jun all had a precedent of fleeing foreign countries for refuge when their country could not gain a foothold, and later the national crisis was remembered by the king and asked him to return to China. He fled the country, apparently influenced and inspired by them. When the country is in danger, as long as King Zhao sends an envoy to leave a letter, he will continue to return to China to serve like Xinling Jun.

Under the autumn sunset, the scattered autumn leaves, swaying reeds, the cool evening breeze, and the returning geese flying south all tell people that the cold autumn has come. The eyes full of withered grass and dead leaves, a piece of golden, swaying, a breath of whining. The sky is colorful, the distant mountains are vast, and the tired birds are flying. All this renders a rare poignant.

Wei State Liang, Lian Po Mansion.

"The general did not die in a hundred battles, and the ministers lost their lives lightly because of their slander; Masters often plant small hands, and love to capsize in the gutter. Lian Po, who is in his eighties, is depressed in his heart and can't help but cry.

"Father, you must take care of your health, Zhao Guo will still miss you!" Lian Po's son Lian Sheng begged bitterly.

"Zhao Guoguo misses me? Can I wait until that day? Lian Po, who had white hair, smiled bitterly.

It is really the tears of those who hear it, and the sadness of those who see it!
