A summary of the story of Mianchi's successful meeting with Zhao

Return to Zhao in perfect condition: During the Warring States Period, Zhao Wang got a precious treasure jade "He Shi Bi". This incident made Guo Qin bigger.

When the King of Qi knew this, he wrote a letter and sent someone to see the King of Zhao, saying that the King of Qin was willing to exchange fifteen cities for this treasure jade.

The prince of Zhao read the letter and thought that the king of Qin always wanted to take advantage and refused to suffer. Why are you so generous this time? If you don't agree, you are afraid of Qin's attack. If you agree, you are afraid of being cheated. He couldn't make up his mind, so he consulted with the ministers. Ministers can't think of any good way.

Knowing this, Lin Xiangru said to the prince of Zhao, "Your Majesty, let me take' He Shibi' to the king of Qin, and I will 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 left and right. He likes it very much. 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, knowing that the king of Qin didn't have the sincerity to exchange these cities for Baoyu. 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 way. He went up to the king of Qin and said, "Although this piece of' Heshibi' looks good, it has some problems. Let me show it to the king. " When the king of Qin heard something was wrong, he hurriedly asked someone to take Baoyu from the harem to Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru took a few steps back with the "Harmony Jade", leaned against the pillar and said angrily to the king of Qin: "At the beginning, this king sent a letter to the king of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for Zhao's" Harmony Jade ". 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 this just sent me to send' and choi'. Just now, the King took Baoyu and gave him to the people below to walk around, but he didn't mention the change of the fifteen cities. From this point of view, the king did not really have the sincerity to exchange the city for the wall. Now I have Baoyu. If the king insists on persecuting me, I would rather hit my head on this pillar with this treasure jade! " Lin Xiangru said, and lifted the "and choi", to the post, and fell over.

The king of Qin wanted the samurai to rob him, but he was afraid that Lin Xiangru really broke Baoyu. He quickly apologized to Lin Xiangru and said, "Don't worry, doctor, my words don't count!" He asked someone to bring the map, pretending to point to it and saying, "From here to there, fifteen cities will be given 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 Prince of Zhao sent him to the State of Qin, he fasted for five days and held a grand ceremony to send Baoyu to the court. Now that the king wants to take this treasure jade, he should fast for five days and hold a ceremony in the court to take it before I can present it. " The king of Qin said, "Good! Just do it! " He sent someone to take Lin Xiangru to the hotel to rest.

Lin Xiangru took Baoyu's piece and went to the mansion. He asked one of his men to dress up as a businessman, wrapped Baoyu in his body and sneaked 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 found out about it, and it was too late to regret it. He wanted to send troops to attack Zhao, and Zhao was afraid that he could not win, so he was ready militarily. Finally, the king of Qin had to let Lin Xiangru return to Zhao.

Mianchi Club: In 282 BC, general Bai Qi of the Qin faction captured two places of Zhao State: Jian (now west of Lishi County in Shanxi Province) and Qi (now Qixian County in Shanxi Province). The following year, Qin sent troops to capture Shicheng of Zhao (now southwest of Park County, Henan Province); Another year later, we attacked Zhao again and the two countries went to war. Zhao lost more than twenty thousand troops, but his offensive also stopped.

In 279 BC (the twentieth year of Zhao Huiwen), in order to concentrate on attacking Chu, Qin wanted to make peace with Zhao, so he sent messengers to see Zhao and asked him to meet him in Mianchi (now Mianchi County, Henan Province) outside Xihe River to cultivate mutual friendship. The prince of Zhao was afraid and couldn't think of going. General Lian Po discussed with the doctor Lin Xiangru that it was not good for the Prince of Zhao not to go. He advised the king of Zhao to go: "If the king of Qin doesn't go, it will appear that Zhao Guoli is timid. It is better to go. " The prince of Zhao listened to Lian and Lin's advice, and Lin Xiangru followed the prince of Zhao.

Lian Po led the army to send the prince of Zhao to the border, and they parted ways. He said to the prince of Zhao, "The round trip to Mianchi this time, plus the time for the meeting, is estimated to last no more than 30 days. In case of any eventuality, if the king has not returned after this date, please allow us to make the prince king, so as to cut off the idea of Qin detaining the king and threatening Zhao. " Wang Zhao agreed. Lian Po also deployed a large number of troops on the border to guard against the attack of Qin.

When I arrived at Mianchi, I met the King of Qin, and the two sides saluted each other, so we chatted at the banquet. Halfway through the wine, the king of Qin said to the king of Zhao, "I heard that you like drums and harps." I have a harp here, please play a song to entertain! " The prince of Zhao dared not refuse, so he had to play a song. At this time, Qin Yushi came over and wrote on the bamboo slips: On a certain day, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao gave a banquet in Mianchi, and the king of Qin ordered the king of Zhao to play drums.

Seeing this displeasure, Lin Xiangru went up to the king of Qin and said, "The king of Zhao heard that the king of Qin was good at playing clay pots. I have a hammer here. Please knock it and make everyone happy. " The king of Qin flew into a rage and refused to agree. Lin Xiangru took the ribbon and presented it to the king of Qin, who still refused to knock at the door. Lin Xiangru said, "Now I am only five steps away from the King. If the king doesn't agree, I will fight to the death and spill blood all over you. " It means fighting hard with the king of Qin.

Seeing that the king of Qin was threatened, the guards of the king of Qin hurriedly drew their swords to kill Lin Xiangru. Lin Xiangru stare eyes, drink, guards repeatedly retreat. The king of Qin was very unhappy and had to knock a few times. Lin Xiangru turned to Zhao's suggestion and wrote it down: On a certain day in a certain year, the king of Zhao and the king of Qin held a banquet in Mianchi, and the king of Zhao ordered the king of Qin to knock chopsticks to entertain guests.

When the ministers of Qin saw that the king of Qin did not take advantage, they said, "Please give the king of Zhao fifteen cities for his birthday!" Lin Xiangru did not show weakness, saying, "Please ask the king of Qin to take Xianyang (the capital of Qin State, now the east of Xianyang County, Shaanxi Province) to bless the king of Zhao!"

Until the end of the banquet, in order to safeguard the dignity of the country, Lin Xiangru bravely and tactfully waged a tit-for-tat and indomitable struggle with the monarch and minister of Qin State, and defeated the plot of Qin State. Qin also knew that Lian Po's army was stationed at the border, so it was difficult to use force.
