? 1.？ Mianchi Zhihui
Mianchi's Meeting comes from Sima Qian's Historical Records, Lian Po and Biography of Lin Xiangru. This happened in 279 BC (twenty-eight years of Qin and twenty years of Zhao Huiwen). Zhao Haoqi of Qin wanted to concentrate on attacking Chu. In order to avoid worries, he took the initiative to make friends with Zhao, and the meeting was held in Mianchi. The king of Qin sent messengers to invite the king of Zhao to Mianchi for talks. Zhao Wang was afraid but didn't dare to go. Lin Xiangru accompanied the prince of Zhao to Mianchi. When the king of Zhao was forced to play the harp, he argued for equality with Zhao Ping, forcing the king of Qin to strike. Later, Qin asked Zhao for fifteen cities to celebrate the birthday of the king of Qin, but he refused to give in, saying that Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was used to celebrate the birthday of the king of Zhao, so that the king of Qin got nothing. Lin Xiangru tactfully protected the safety of the prince of Zhao without being humiliated, and was called "the meeting of Mianchi" in history.
