    400,000 Zhao troops were besieged for 46 days, why didn't Lian Po and Li Mu, the famous generals of Zhao State, lead troops to relieve the siege?

    First of all, Li Mu, Li Mu was in ** at the time? Li Mu was stationed in Yanmen County at that time to guard against the Huns. Yanmen County is still more than 900 miles away from Changping, and it takes five or six hours to drive today, so you have to be an old driver.

    Thousands of miles away, it was an era when even war horses were not popular, how long did it take to walk with people's big feet? Ten days? Five days?

    Changping's comrades-in-arms have starved to death! Putting aside the distance, Li Mu is gone, who is watching the Huns? More than ten years after the end of the Battle of Changping, Li Mu returned to work in the imperial court.

    Therefore, you must know that even if Zhao Kuo's command ability is problematic, the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army has not decreased. So if you want to break the encirclement, at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers are needed, people and horses are gathered, grain and grass are prepared, and people are followed up, which is not something that can be achieved in a day or two, and when it is ready, the daylily is cold.

    Let's talk about Lian Po, Lian Po was not there at the time, and he was dismissed. Didn't Zhao Kuo, the boss of the Zhao army at that time, replace Lian Po's position as a general? Do you think Zhao Kuo will take Lian Po with him?

    Not only not, as soon as Zhao Kuo took office, he removed Lian Po's old subordinates a lot, which is all recorded. Besides, Zhao Kuo wants to take Lian Po with him, is Lian Po willing? Didn't you see how Lian Po abandoned Zhao Touwei later?

    Let's go back to King Zhao, King Zhao at that time was King Zhao Xiaocheng. It is said that Lian Po was much older than Li Mu, and his reputation at that time was much greater than Li Mu. Although Li Mu is also very good, he will have to wait more than ten years to become a great name.

    Besides, Li Mu's strategy of guarding Yanmen County is similar to Lian Po's tactics in Changping. Do you think that Lian Po can't handle it, will King Zhao let Li Mu try it?

    Therefore, why didn't Lian Po and Li Mu lead troops to relieve the siege in the Battle of Changping, Li Mu is not qualified enough, and he can't quench his thirst far from water, and Lian Po is not in his position to find his own government, even if Lian Po can go to the rescue, there are no soldiers, they are all surrounded by Changping.

    The 400,000 Zhao troops were trapped in the Battle of Changping, when Lian Po had just been dismissed by the king of Zhao and Li Mu was fighting against the Xiongnu on the border. A few years after King Zhao Xiaocheng ascended the throne, Qin sent troops to attack the Korean Shangdang, and Korea took the initiative to cede the Shangdang to Zhao because of its invincibility, and then the Qin and Zhao countries had a duel over the ownership of the Shangdang region. In order to defend against the Qin army, King Zhao sent Lian Po to Changping to defend against the enemy.

    Lian Po was ordered to go to Changping, and the situation of the Zhao army was very critical, and the Zhao army had already suffered many defeats and was inferior to the Qin army. <>

    Under these circumstances, Lian Po adopted a stubborn strategy, and even though the Qin army sent troops to provoke many times, he never responded to the battle. The Zhao army, which had been greatly damaged and demoralized, was repaired in the process, and the Qin army's plan to win quickly also failed. Seeing this, the Qin State took another plan and began to spread the word that the only general in the Zhao State who could make the Qin army feel scared was Zhao Kuo.

    King Zhao Xiaocheng already had a lot of complaints about Lian Po's avoidance and not fighting, so after hearing this rumor, he simply dismissed Lian Po as a general and replaced Zhao Kuo as a leading general. <>

    At the same time as Zhao changed generals, Qin also replaced the leading generals with Bai Qi, who soon led his army to defeat the Zhao army and besieged the Zhao army in the city. After being besieged for more than a month, the city was cut off from food and grass, and Zhao Kuo could only take risks and lead the army to break through. As a result, the breakthrough was unsuccessful, and he himself was shot on the battlefield.

    After Zhao Kuo, who was the commander-in-chief, was killed, the remaining 400,000 Zhao troops could only abandon their weapons and surrender, but Bai Qi killed them all after they surrendered. <>

    After winning the Battle of Changping, Qin took advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to attack Zhao, and in just a year or so, Zhao was almost wiped out by it. The main reason for this crisis was that King Zhao mistakenly fell into the Qin State's counter-plot and replaced Lian Po, who really knew how to lead the army to fight, with Zhao Kuo, who could only talk on paper, thus bringing trouble to the Zhao State. At that time, Lian Po was the only person in the Zhao dynasty who could be in charge of military affairs.

    As for Li Mu, he had not yet entered the imperial court at that time, but was on the northern border to defend against the Xiongnu.

    Lian Po. Is He Li Mu a person of the same era? Did they fight each other in battle? During the Warring States period, there were many famous generals, but the most famous were undoubtedly Bai Qi, Lian Po, Li Mu and Wang Jian. Bai Qi and Wang Jian were Qin states.

    Lian Po and Li Mu are Zhao Guo.

    In the middle and late Warring States period, the six countries united to attack Qin, and Qin and Zhao started a lot of wars, so many people have questions, did these four generals fight directly? Is there a showdown? Who let the ruin win?

    To clarify this question, we have to look at what era these four people are? King Bai Qi of Qin Zhaoxiang died in 50 BC (257), so it is certain that almost all the wars he experienced in his life were during the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang. The famous battle of the White Banner was the Battle of Yique in the 14th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (293 BC), and he never lost more than 70 battles in his lifetime.

    Were Bai Qi and Wang Jian of the Qin State, and Lian Po and Li Mu of the Zhao State directly at war? The date of Lian Po's birth and death is unknown, but it is certain that he was mainly active during the reigns of Zhao Huiwen (298-266 BC), Zhao Xiaocheng (266-245 BC), and Zhao Zhaoxiang (245-236 BC). Li Mu died in 229 BC, so he should have been active during the reigns of Zhao Xiaocheng (266-245 BC), Zhao Daoxiang (245-236 BC), and Wang Qian (235-228 BC).

    Wang Jian's birth and death are unknown. He ascended the throne 247 years before the reign of King Qin. Wang Jian's main military achievement was in Yingzheng.

    years of acquisition. Because Li Mu was basically defending the Hu people in northern Zhao in the early stage, and Lian Po left Zhao 244 years ago, did the four generals of Qin and Zhao fight? In fact, did White Flag and Lian Po fight? Did Li Mu and Wang Jian fight? The White Flag attacked the Wei State.

    Korea and the state of Chu.

    Most. In 280 BC, the White Banner attacked the Zhao State, killed 20,000 yuan, and occupied the Dai people.

    Lian Po was not the ruler of the Zhao State. In the 34th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (274 BC), Bai Qi killed 130,000 troops of the alliance of Wei, Zhao and Han. The general of Zhao State is not Lian Po.

    Lian Po and Li Mu were both generals of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in this Suimo China, but they were not from the same era.

    Lian Po was a general of Zhao during the Warring States period, active from the mid-4th century BC to the early 3rd century BC. He fought many battles, was known for his bravery and good fighting, and made great achievements in Zhao's foreign wars.

    Li Mu, on the other hand, was a general of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and was active in the 3rd century BC. He was also a brave general, who made many achievements in the Qin campaign, and eventually became an important general of the Qin state.

    Although Lian Po and Li Mu were both generals during the Warring States period, due to the different times and places of their activities, there is no record of them fighting directly.

    Introduction, in history, Zhao has two famous generals, one is Lian Po and the other is Li Mu, but these two famous generals were destroyed by Guo Kai in the end, why is it that Guo Kai, who is also from Zhao, is so ruthless to Lian Po and Li Muxia? Guo Kai did this, regardless of whether he and Zhao Guo would be defeated by the Xiongnu? <>

    1. Guo Kai's method of driving away Lian Po.

    In fact, Lian Po's official age is already very old, and Lian Po has served three monarchs, so he is very virtuous and respectable, but Lian Po does not have a very broad mind, and if Lian Po encounters something unhappy, he will be reprimanded. And Guo Kai was indeed reprimanded by Lian Po because of his stealing and cheating, so Guo Kai was very resentful. Later, Guo Kai kept saying this bad thing about Lian Po by the side of King Zhao Mourning Xiang, and King Zhao Mourning Xiang believed Guo Kai's remarks and really drove Lian Po away.

    Later, because Zhao couldn't defeat the Huns, he wanted to recall Lian Po, but because Guo Kai was afraid that he would be able to stare at Lian Mengtong and calculate himself, he bribed the envoy and described Lian Po very badly, and it was because of this that King Zhao Mourning Xiang gave up appointing Lian Po, and Lian Po has been depressed to live his life. <>

    Second, Guo Kai killed Li Mu.

    After Lian Po left, Li Mu was also reused, but because Li Mu's skills were too strong, the Qin State was very jealous, so he used Guo Kai of the Zhao State to kill Li Mu. At the very beginning, Qin used finance to bribe Guo Kai and let Guo Kai use a discordant strategy, and later Guo Kai had been slandering Li Mu by the side of King Zhao Mourning Xiang, saying that Li Mu was going to rebel, and it was because of this that Li Mu was finally killed, and soon Zhao was destroyed by Qin. The military strength of Zhao State was still okay, with the two generals Lian Po and Li Mu, but because King Zhao Mourning Xiang believed in Guo Kai too much, Guo Kai didn't want to stay in Zhao State, so it caused the current situation.

    3. Summary. Zhao Guo lost two generals and was soon destroyed by Qin, and Guo Kai, as a prime minister of Zhao, had already arranged his own back road, Guo Kai had already taken his disciples to Qin after the collapse of Zhao, but died on the way to Qin.

    The reason why Guo Kai, the famous minister of Zhao State, was able to drive away Lian Po and falsely kill Li Mu was because of the trust of the two emperors of Zhao State.

    Guo Kai was the traitor of Zhao during the Warring States Period, he was originally the companion of King Xiang of Zhao Mourning, especially good at sneaking whiskers and shooting horses, and won the trust of Zhao Yan as the crown prince, and later became the prime minister of Zhao after Zhao Mourning collapsed and annihilated King Xiang to inherit the throne. As a famous general of Zhao State, Lian Po has an upright and resolute personality, and he is very unaccustomed to Guo Kai's style of slapping horses, and once criticized Guo Kai at the banquet, and the two had a conflict. During the reign of King Zhao Mourning Xiang, he used the general Le Cheng to replace Lian Po as the commander, which caused Lian Po's dissatisfaction, and Lian Po defeated Le Cheng, who came to replace the military power, and turned to the state of Wei Gao.

    In the later period, Zhao faced the attack of Qin, suffering from no excellent generals, so he found Li Mu back to block the attack of Qin, and Li Mu was not expected to successfully prevent Qin's attack on Zhao

    First, the deep trust of two generations of Zhao Wang

    Although Guo Kai has no real talent and real learning, he is trusted by two generations of Zhao Wang, especially the successor of Zhao Mourning Xiang Wang has been badly taken by Guo Kai since he was a child, Guo Kai is the wisest person in his eyes, and it is because of this that Guo Kai can do whatever he wants in Zhao State.

    2. Narrow-minded and afraid of falling out of favor

    The contradiction between Guo Kai and Lian Po is, in the final analysis, that he is afraid that Lian Po will achieve greater credit and make himself fall out of favor in front of King Zhao, so he will frame competitors regardless of national interests, and he will also block it when King Zhao wants to recall Lian Po in the later period.

    3. Seeing money and forgetting national interests

    The reason why Guo Kai framed Li Mu for rebellion is very simple, that is, he accepted bribes from the Qin State, and this kind of villain who puts his own interests above the interests of the country and is short-sighted led to the demise of the Zhao State.

    Because he is a very powerful general, he was humiliated at the banquet, so he always held a grudge, and then framed Peisen and harmed Lian Po, and spread rumors that Lian Po had rebelled.

    Because Lian Po's actions had already made the king suspicious, Guo Kai later seized the opportunity and finally drove Lian Po away. and also killed Li Mu.
