At this time, Lv Zhonglian was suitable for going to Zhao State and surrounding Zhao State in Qin State. I heard that General Wei wanted to make Zhao the Emperor of Qin. Ping Yuanjun said, "What will happen?" Ping Yuanjun said, "If you win, what dare you say? Millions of people left home, and now they are surrounded by Handan, so they can't go. General Wang Wei made Zhao Diqin a strict envoy. Now that he is alive, what dare he say if he wins! " Lv Zhonglian said, "At first, I regarded you as a virtuous son in the world. Now I know that you are not a virtuous son in the world. Is Liang Ke in Yan 'an, Xin Yuan? I ask you to come back and take your responsibility. " Ping Yuanjun said, "If you win, please call to see your husband. Ping Yuanjun met Xin and said, "Mr. Lu Zhonglian is in Dongzhou, here he is." . In order to introduce the general, please meet him. New Yan Yuan said, "I heard that Mr. Lu Zhonglian is an aristocratic scholar in the State of Qi. Yan, people and ministers also make things have jobs. I don't want to see Mr. Lu Zhonglian. " Ping Yuanjun said, "The victory has been lost." Xin Yanyuan promised. Lu Zhonglian was speechless when he saw the new Yan Yuan. Xin said, "I think everyone who lives in the northern besieged city wants something from Ping Yuanjun. Today, I think Mr. Yu looks like a man who wants Ping Yuanjun. Why not stay in this besieged city for a long time? Lu Zhonglian said, "It's not his fault that Baojiao died without taking the time. If you don't know today, you are one. Those who go to Qin abandon propriety and go to the country of records. Power makes people, and Lu makes people. He was the emperor, but he was on earth and even went to the East China Sea and died. I can't bear to be a people! Those who see the generals want to help Ye Zhao. " Xin Yanyuan said, "What can you do?" Lu Zhonglian said, "I'll ask Liang and Yan for help. Both Qi and Chu will help them. " Xin Yanyuan said, "If you are Yan, I will ask you to follow. If it is a beam, then I am a beam. Can you help me deal with evil? Lv Zhonglian said, "Liang didn't see the danger of Qin's being emperor, so if Liang saw the danger of Qin's being emperor, he would help Zhao. Xin said, "What would happen if Qin proclaimed himself emperor?" Lv Zhonglian said, "In the past, Qi Weiwang tasted benevolence and righteousness and brought the governors of the world to the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou is poor, the princes are not in the DPRK, and Qi is alone in it. At the age of 20, King Lie of Zhou collapsed, and all the princes died and went back together. Zhou was so angry that he went to see Qi and said,' The sky has fallen, and the son of heaven has sat down. Tian Ying, the minister of Dong Fan, will arrive soon, so let's get started! Wang Wei Boland said angrily, "I am very angry, but so are my mother and servants. A pawn laughs at the world. So when you are born, you have to face Zhou, and when you die, you have to be scolded. You can't bear to ask for it. Of course, the son of heaven has nothing to blame. " New Yan Yuan said, "Didn't you see your husband and servant alone? Ten people follow one person, and they are invincible and wise. Fear also. " Lu Zhonglian said, "naturally, the ratio of beams was given to Qin Re's servant?" Yan said, "Of course. "Lv Zhonglian:" But I will let the king of Qin cook the king of Liang. " Yan suddenly said crossly, "Hey! Too many, sir. Sir, is it evil enough for the king of Qin to cook the king of Liang? " Lu Zhonglian said, "Stay with me. In the past, there were three ghosts, Hubei Hou and Wen Wang. Ghost Hou has a son, good, into it, think evil, kill ghost Hou. The urgency of the struggle in Hubei and Hou is a disease of discrimination, so the Hubei and Hou are preserved. When Wang Wen heard this, he sighed in shame, so he was detained in the car. He wanted to die for a hundred days. Because I am called the emperor, I will save my land when I die. The king led the generals to Lu, and Yi followed suit, saying, "How will Zi treat my king?" ? The Lu people said,' I will treat my son's prince with ten sentences. Wei Zi said,' When Zi Lai comes, will you treat my monarch with courtesy? My king is also the son of heaven. The son of heaven patrolled the hunting, and the ministers checked in, took buckles, took a few hugs, and watched the hall eat, so the son of heaven had eaten, so he retired to the court. "Lu people have their own desires, and if they don't accept it, they can't enter Lu. Xue, fake painting in Zou. When it arrived, Zou Jun died and Wang Min wanted to be hanged. Yi said that Zou Gu said,' When the emperor hangs, the Lord pays double mourning, and the south has the north, and the later emperor hangs in the south.' Zou Zhiqun's ministers said,' If this happens, I will die by the sword.' Therefore, I dare not enter Zou. Zou and Lu, when they are alive, they can't support themselves. When they are dead, they can't eat. However, if you want to be a gift to Zou He, you won't be satisfied. Today, the country of Qin Wancheng is also the country of Liang Wancheng. According to the country of Wancheng, it is known as the king. Seeing that he won the first world war, we should make the ministers of Sanjin inferior to Zou and Lu's concubines. And Wu Qin has become the emperor, and changed his ministers. He will take away what he calls unworthiness and give him what he calls virtue; Take what they hate, but don't take what they like. He will also make his children the concubines of princes and concubines. They will be placed in Liang's palace and will be safe and sound. And why is the general favored? "
So Yuan Xin began to thank him again and said, "At first, I thought my husband was a mediocre man, but today I know that my late king was a man of the world. I invited you, and I dare not say anything about Emperor Qin. " The Qin generals heard it, but it was an army fifty miles away.
It was appropriate for Wei Gongzi to seize the army to save Zhao from attacking Qin, but he was led away. So Ping Yuanjun wants to seal Lu Zhonglian. Lv Zhonglian made three concessions, but he refused. Ping Yuanjun bought wine, which was full of wine. Before getting up, he and his daughter celebrated Lu Zhonglian's birthday together. Lu Zhonglian said with a smile: "Those who are more valuable than the scholars in the world help people solve their troubles and troubles, and there is no gain. Even those who take things are businessmen, and Zhong Lian can't bear to do it. " He resigned from Ping Yuanjun and never saw him again.

Qin besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao. Andrew West? Qi Weiwang sent a general to save Zhao, but Wang Weihe was afraid, so Wei Jun was stationed in Dangyin at the border of Wei and Zhao and did not dare to move forward.
Xin, another guest general sent by Wang Wei, sneaked into the city of Handan and said to Zhao Wang: "The reason why Qin stepped up the siege of Handan was because it had competed with Qi Wang for the limelight before and claimed the title of emperor. Later, Qi Wang removed the name of emperor. Because Qi did not claim the title of emperor, Qin also cancelled the title of emperor. Now Qi is getting weaker and weaker, and only Qin can dominate the vassals. It can be seen that the State of Qin is not coveting the land of Handan, but its real purpose is to claim the title of emperor. If you really send messengers to be the emperor, Qin will be very happy, so Qin will solve the siege of Handan. " Ping Yuanjun has been hesitating and hasn't made a decision.
At this time, Lv Zhonglian happened to go to Zhao. When he was besieged, he heard that Wei wanted Zhao to respect the king of Qin as emperor, so he went to see him and asked, "How was today?" Ping Yuanjun replied, "I, Zhao Sheng, dare to talk about war now? Zhao million troops were defeated by Changping, and now they are going deep into Zhao and besieging Handan. Nothing can make them leave. Wang Wei sent a guest to honor Xin Zhaozhao as the Emperor of Qin, and now General Xin is in Handan. What can I say? " Lv Zhonglian said, "At first, I always thought you were the son of a saint in a vassal state. Today, I realized that you are not wise. Where is the new one from Wei? Please allow me to reprimand him for you and let him go back to Wei. " Ping Yuanjun said, "Then I'll call him and meet you!" So he went to see Xin and said, "There was a man named Lu Zhonglian in the State of Qi. He is here now. I'll introduce him to you and let him meet you. " Xin said, "I have heard of Mr. Lu Zhonglian, who is a sage of Qi. And I, Wang Wei's courtier Xin, have a heavy responsibility here. I don't want to see Mr. Lu Zhonglian. " Ping Yuanjun said, "I have told him the news that you are here." Xin Yanyuan had to agree to see Lu Zhonglian.
After seeing Xin, Lu Zhonglian did not speak first. New Yan Yuan said, "According to my observation, people living in this besieged metropolis want something from Ping Yuanjun. But now that I see my husband, I don't look like someone who wants anything from Ping Yuanjun. Why did I stay in this besieged city for a long time and not leave? " Lv Zhonglian said: "Those people in the world who think that Baojiao (a hermit who hates the world) can't tolerate his own death are all wrong. Now most people don't understand the cause of Baojiao's death and think that he died for his own benefit. Qin, a country that abandons benevolence, righteousness and propriety and advocates the right to kill the enemy and behead, uses politics to control the princes and enslaves the people like slaves. If the state of Qin claims to be the emperor unscrupulously, and then further orders the world with its own policies, then I, Lv Zhonglian, can only jump into the sea and commit suicide, and I can't tolerate being its docile subjects. The reason why I want to see the general is just to help Zhao. "
Xin asked, "Sir, how will you help Zhao?" Lu Zhonglian said, "I want Wei and Yan to send troops to save Zhao, and Qi and Chu will help them." Xin said, "Guo Yan, I really think it will listen to you. As for Wei, I just came from Wei. How can you ask Wei to help Zhao? " Lv Zhonglian replied, "That's because Wei hasn't seen the danger of Qin becoming emperor. If Wei understands this, then it will definitely help Zhao! "
The new Yan Yuan asked again, "What harm will it do if Qin claims to be emperor?" Lv Zhonglian said: "At the beginning, we implemented the policy of benevolence and righteousness and led the vassal states to appear before the Emperor of Zhou. At that time, the Zhou royal family was poor and weak, and all the ministers did not go to appear before the court, only Qi appeared before the court. After more than a year, King Lie of Zhou died, and all the vassal states paid their respects, but Qi was late. Minister Zhou Shi was very angry. Qi's obituary said,' The son of heaven died, just as heaven and earth collapsed, and the new son of heaven died in person. Tian Ying, a vassal of Qi who guards the eastern Xinjiang, should be killed if he dares to be late. Hearing this, Qi Weiwang was furious and said, "Bah! Your mother is just a maid. " It turned out to be the laughing stock of the whole world. Qi Weiwang went to see King Zhou when he was alive, but insulted him after his death. This is really because he can't stand Zhou's excessive demands! However, being the son of heaven is like this, there is nothing to make a fuss about. "
Xin Yanyuan said, "Sir, haven't you seen slaves? Ten servants follow a master because their strength and wisdom are not outstanding? No, just because I'm afraid of my master! " Lv Zhonglian asked, "So, is the relationship between Wei and Qin like the relationship between master and servant?" New Yan Yuan replied, "Yes." Lv Zhonglian asked, "In that case, I can let the king of Qin cook Wang Wei and chop him into a paste!" " Xin Yanyuan said unconvinced, "Cough! Sir, you talk too much. How can you let the king of Qin cook Wang Wei into a paste? " Lu Zhonglian said, "Of course, let me tell you. Once upon a time, Ghost Hou, Hubei Hou and Wang Wen were three vassals sealed by Shang Zhouwang. Ghost Hou had a beautiful daughter, so he sent her to Zhou's harem, but Zhou thought she was ugly, so he chopped Ghost Hou into a paste. Hubei Hou tried his best to defend the ghost Hou, and he was killed and made into dried meat. Hearing this, King Wen sighed, so he imprisoned King Wen in a closed warehouse for one hundred days and even executed him. What is the reason why these people who claim to be emperors like others are finally made into meat sauce and dried meat?
King Qi is going to Lu, and Yi is driving with him. Ask the Lu people:' What kind of etiquette are you going to use to receive my monarch?' Lu said, "I will treat your majesty with the gift of ten prisons." Yi said to him, "How can you receive our monarch so politely? Our monarch is the son of heaven. The emperor visited everywhere, and every vassal monarch had to leave his palace to take refuge elsewhere. He also had to hand over his keys, lift his skirt, take a few boxes and wait on the emperor for dinner in the hall. Only after the emperor has finished eating can the princes retire to deal with government affairs. Hearing this, the people of Lu immediately locked the door and took the key to prevent them from entering the city. The king of Qi couldn't get into Lu, so he had to go to Xue to borrow the road from Zou. At this time, Zou Guojun passed away. King Hua wanted to go to the city to pay his respects, so Yi said to Zou's filial son,' When the son of heaven comes to pay his respects, the owner must move the coffin in the opposite direction, set up a mourning hall facing north in the south, and then let the son of heaven pay his respects to the south. Zou's ministers said, "If we have to do this, we must fight to the death." So Zhou Wang, the king of Qi, didn't have the courage to enter Zoucheng. The ministers of Lu and Zou are all poor. They didn't get paid before they died, and they couldn't get a good burial after they died. However, once (the King of Qi) asked them to visit the emperor, they could not accept it.
Now Qin is a country with ten thousand cars, and Wei is also a country with ten thousand cars. They are all big countries with 10 thousand chariots and have the title of king. Just seeing that Qin has won the battle, we must respect Qin as the emperor. In this way, the ministers of Zhao, Han and Wei are not as good as Zou and Lu! Besides, once Qin successfully realized his ambition of being emperor, he would immediately replace the ministers of various vassal States. They will replace their courtiers who they think are not talented and give their positions to those who they think are talented; Replace people they hate and give positions to people close to them. They will also give their daughters and women who are good at discrediting virtuous and jealous of virtuous talents to princes as concubines and spoil them day and night. When a woman like Wang Wei enters the palace, can Wang Can still live safely in Wei? And general, how can you continue to be trusted as before? "
Then, Xin stood up, made two obeisances to Lv Zhonglian, and apologized: "At first, I thought Mr. Wang was a mediocre man, but now I know that Mr. Wang is a scholar who can master the world!" Please let me leave here, I dare not talk about respecting Qin as emperor. " When the general of Qin heard about this incident, he retreated the troops that besieged Handan for fifty miles. Said the son of Wei mowgli seized the relieving, led soldiers to save Zhao, Qin Jun, retreat. At this time, Ping Yuanjun wanted to raise Lu Zhonglian. Lu Zhonglian resigned many times and refused to accept it. Ping Yuanjun gave him a banquet. While drinking wine, Ping Yuanjun stood up and went to bless Lu Zhonglian and his daughter. Lu Zhonglian said with a smile: "What people all over the world value is to help people get rid of their troubles, relieve their troubles and solve their troubles without any reward. If you charge a fee, it is no different from the seller. I, Lu Zhonglian, can't bear to do such a thing. " So he said goodbye and left Zhao, and never appeared again.
Comment and edit this piece of work
Lu Zhonglian was inspired by the chivalrous spirit of the world and persuaded Wei to save Zhao. The main purpose of his argument is to point out that vassal states should not bow to Qiang Qin, who is cruel and autocratic, and try to claim the throne. On the one hand, he pointed out that it was beneath his dignity for vassal States to serve the emperor, and that if Qin proclaimed himself emperor, all countries would not have a good life, and then it would be certain that "swords and swords would make me fish", and even the ministers of vassal States were in jeopardy. On the other hand, many vassal States and their ministers who would rather die than surrender were cited to awaken the fighting spirit and courage of the surrenders. In this way, the positive and negative arguments and persuasion finally made the ministers and countries that originally intended to serve Qin state embark on the road of joint counter-violence, thus resolving the major crisis of Zhao state.
Lu Zhonglian's speech is full of passion, high morale, thorough reasoning and rigorous reasoning, which embodies his strong emotional strength and rigorous thinking ability. Debate is a difficult art that integrates emotion, language ability, psychological quality, logical ability and knowledge reserve. Although the debate takes language as the carrier, language is the externalization of human knowledge, emotion and will. Only with strict thinking ability can we be watertight and invincible, but without enthusiasm and emotional strength, it is difficult to shake people's hearts.
