Idioms and allusions

The battle of Qin, Zhao and Changping broke out. The son of King Zhao Huiwen, King Zhao Xiaocheng, was quite handsome and asked him to take 200000 elite soldiers to Changping to meet the Qin army. After he arrived in Changping, he adopted the strategy of "building a strong wall for a long time" based on the actual situation of the war, and saw that the Qin army, which was far away from the native land, had been defeated. But at this time, King Zhao Xiaocheng was caught in the Qin State's plan of "anti society" and changed to Zhao Kuo as a general, so that he was regarded as an "official" by the emperor. He returned to Handan. At this time, none of the visitors and flatterers came. Those courtiers and dignitaries did not come, even the literati and sages did not come. The gate of Lianpo house was not only closed at night, but also not opened during the day. Because Zhao Kuo could only "talk on paper", Changping was defeated. Overnight, the state of Qin killed more than 400000 people. Soon after the end of the battle, Li Fu, the Prime Minister of the state of Yan, thought: all the rich and powerful people of Zhao guonian died in Changping, and their orphans and children had not yet grown up, so they could send troops to attack. King Yan adopted Li Fu's strategy and raised his troops to attack Zhao. King Zhao Xiaocheng took Lianpo as his general and led his troops to meet the Yan army, setting up the battlefield in the highlands. Lianpo is worthy of being a famous general. He fought well in the battle of highland. He not only defeated Yan soldiers, but also killed Li Fu, the Prime Minister of Yan. Then they took advantage of the victory and besieged the capital of Yan. As a result, the state of Yan offered to cut five cities to the state of Zhao as a condition for peace, and Zhao agreed to withdraw. After the end of the battle, King Xiaocheng of Zhao granted Wei Wenyi to Lianpo, known as "xinpingjun", and made Lianpo take the post of prime minister. The reputation of Lianpo has risen again. In this way, those who stopped visiting and flattering because of the removal of Lianpo came to visit and flatter again and again Lian Po is a man of integrity. He can't stand the Philistine style of these people. So, seeing that the people came to the door again, they ordered them to leave. He said, "Hello! Ladies and gentlemen, please go back! " At this time, a guest stood up and said to Lianpo, "general Lian, when you are in power, we will follow you; when you are in power, we will leave. It is natural for people in the world to communicate with each other in terms of interests. Why do you hate and get angry? " "Alas Lianpo had nothing to say but sighed.
