The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 715 0023, civil and military harmony
The State of Zhao once had the strength to dominate the Central Plains. At that time, the State of Zhao was far stronger than the States of Qi and Qin now.But Zhao State never thought of dominating the Central Plains, so since Shang Yang's reform, Qin State has overtaken Zhao State, making it lose its advantage.

Even so, Zhao State is still a strong enemy of Qin State.The reason why Zhao Zheng chose Zhao Guo as the first stop was that besides Xia Yufang, he also wanted to meet three people.

One is Lin Xiangru, one is Lian Po and the other is Li Mu.These three people are all great talents of Zhao State, and Zhao Zheng does not expect to invite them back to Qin State.But he hopes to learn something from them, learning from each other is the kingly way.

These three people have a very important position in the Zhao country, and they will definitely be shut down if they take the liberty to visit.Fortunately, they were accompanied by Zhao Dan. Under Zhao Dan's recommendation, Zhao Zheng finally met General Lian Po.

When it comes to Lian Po, we have to mention Qi State again. At the beginning, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period kept pace with each other, and Qi State was the most powerful.Qiang Qi is the master that no one can afford to offend, so the other six countries should be polite to Qi.The Qi State prides itself on being strong and strong, and always likes to make trouble for others.

That year, Qi State sent 20 troops to attack Zhao State, threatening to fight all the way to Handan, the capital of Zhao State.The officials in Handan were frightened by the news, so King Zhao quickly summoned the officials to discuss countermeasures.Then Lian Po asked for his order to lead troops against Qiang Qi.

At that time, the king of Zhao State was King Zhao Huiwen, and King Zhao Huiwen sent his prime minister, Le Yi, as an envoy to the other four countries. Finally, the five countries united to fight against Qi.General Lian Po led the army of Zhao State to resist the army of Qi State, and won several battles one after another, and ate Jinyang of Qi State in one go.

It was precisely because of this battle that Lian Po became famous not only in Zhao State, but also throughout the Warring States Period.Qiang Qi didn't dare to act rashly anymore, and he didn't dare to underestimate Zhao Guo any more.

Since ancient times, capable people and strange men have something extraordinary, even ordinary people.The reason why Lian Po became famous in the first battle is naturally inseparable from his extremely standardized work and rest time.

Zhao Dan was the first to enter the Lian Mansion by accident, then Xia Yufang and Zhao Zheng Zhao Gao, and finally the accompanying guards.Old General Lian Po wanted to go out to greet him, but he didn't expect the princess and others to come so soon.Lian Po had heard about Princess Zhao Dan's travels a long time ago, but he was one of the few people who knew and agreed with it.

Seeing General Lian Po, Zhao Dan smiled and ran over to take the old general's arm.Zhao Dan learned a lot from General Lian Po when he was a child, and General Lian Po can be regarded as Princess Zhao Dan's first teacher in military affairs.

Lian Po was caught off guard by the princess' sudden visit, but luckily he hadn't been out to inspect the border recently.If not, I'm afraid the princess can only rush to nothing.

Lian Po took a look at Zhao Zheng, and after hearing Zhao Dan's introduction to him, he only said that this person was from the state of Qin, Xia Yufang's younger brother.Naturally, Lian Po didn't delve into it, after all, the other party is Princess Zhao Dan's friend.Since King Zhao was able to let Princess Zhao Dan travel with this person, it means that King Zhao already knew the identity of this person.

Seeing Zhao Dan who has become a big girl, the old general Lian Po couldn't help but sigh in his heart.He has no regrets in this life, if he wants to say the one thing he wants to do the most, it is that Princess Zhao Dan can marry a good family.

Being in the emperor's house is both luck and misfortune. Fortunately, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Unfortunately, you can't make decisions about your marriage.Don't look at the fact that the Zhao State is quite strong now, but the current Zhao State is no longer as strong as the Qin State.If Zhao Guo wants to continue to live a comfortable life, he must find a way to forge allies.

This truth is not only understood by Lian Po, but also by Zhao Dan.

Lian Po was Princess Zhao Dan's first teacher who was born as a general, and also the first general to teach Zhao Dan the art of war.Lian Po likes Zhao Dan very much, not because Zhao Dan is the princess of Zhao Guo, but because Zhao Dan is kind-hearted and clever.The only thing that made Lian Po regretful was that Princess Zhao Dan was a daughter.

Zhao Dan liked riding and archery since he was a child, and he was able to ride a pony across the battlefield at the age of six.Few people, even veterans in the army, can gallop on the battlefield and pass through Yang with a hundred steps.

Zhao Dan is very talented in military affairs, and many veteran generals have seen her riding and shooting.Even if King Zhao came in person, he still clapped his hands and applauded.Zhao Guo is not only a state of etiquette, but also all the people are soldiers.But all the people of Zhao State will receive certain military training since childhood.If one grows up and enters the military camp, one can be discharged and return to one's hometown after three or five years without a war.

When soldiers eat food and fight wars, many people in Zhao State leave the barracks every year.They are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but because of the needs of the state of Zhao.They need to leave the military camp and return to their hometown, and then use the knowledge they have learned in the military camp to improve the military quality of the whole people.

If the young are strong, the country is strong, and if the whole people are soldiers, the whole country can fight.

Although it was a little presumptuous, Zhao Zheng still wanted to confirm it.When he was in Qin State before, he had heard it mentioned that Lin Xiangru was the head of Zhao Guo's civil servants, and Lian Po and Li Mu were the head of military officials.In the past, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru didn't get along, and they often scolded Lin Xiangru behind his back for his incompetence.

Later, this incident reached Lin Xiangru's ears, because Lian Po had said that he wanted to deal with Lin Xiangru.Lin Xiangru began to avoid Lian Po, one left and one right when going up court, and left the hall immediately after going down court.If they met in other places, Lin Xiangru would order his servants to avoid Lian Po.

For this matter, Lian Poda didn't take it seriously, and felt that Lin Xiangru was nothing more than that.I got what I have today by fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, why should you, a frail scholar, be on an equal footing with Lao Tzu.

Later, many of Lin Xiangru's family members left one after another, some returned to their original places and others went to other places.Some of them were very unwilling, and before they left, they found Lin Xiangru and wanted to ask him face to face.

They asked: "The reason why we came to join you is because you are courageous and courageous, but you are so frightened by General Lian Po, I am extremely disappointed."

Lin Xiangru said: "Do you think General Lianpo is stronger than King Qin Zhao?"

Everyone replied: "Of course King Qin Zhao is more powerful."

Lin Xiangru said: "At the beginning I dared to scold King Qin Zhao angrily at the court of Qin State. Do you think I avoided General Lianpo because I was afraid of him?"

Everyone was puzzled and wanted to hear the details. Lin Xiangru seldom explained this matter to others, but this time he gave the reason for the first time.

The Qi family governs the country and the world, and the Qi family bears the brunt. For a common people, the Qi family means family harmony.For a country, the Qi family is civil and military harmony.If he had a conflict with General Lianpo, King Zhao would definitely punish General Lianpo. By then, not only General Lianpo would be punished, but also the combat effectiveness of Zhao State would be reduced.

Lin Xiangru would never stand by and watch such an event that was not worth the loss.So the best way for him to avoid this from happening is to hide from General Lian Po.

This matter soon reached General Lian Po's ears, and Lian Po felt deeply ashamed after hearing it.Therefore, there is a beautiful story passed down to later generations, which is called pleading guilty to the thorn.The protagonists of this incident are Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, and their original intention was to turn the fight into friendship, so how could Lin Xiangru have a conflict with General Lian Po.
