Lian Po's death in a foreign country was not accidental. People believe that Lian Poke died in a foreign country and was not reused on his deathbed, mainly because of the false accusation of the traitor Guo Kai.

However, after thinking deeply about that period of history, you will find that there is a more important reason behind Lian Po's misfortune - 'high merit covers the master'!

Compared with Bai Qi of the same era and Li Mu, who was slightly younger, Lian Po's ending was not easy. Bai Qi was given death by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and Li Mu was killed by King Zhao.

The reason why Lian Po has improved slightly is to review the changes of Zhao Guo before he left.

Historians analyze that Lian Po joined the army during the reign of King Wuling of Zhao.

Under his rule, the state of Zhao underwent the Hufu cavalry and archery reform, and its military power flourished, ranking among the Seven Heroes.

However, King Wuling of Zhao gave it to his second son in the prime of life, causing internal strife, and was finally trapped in the palace and starved to death.

King Zhao Huiwen succeeded to the throne, and although the path to power was not honorable, under his rule, the state of Zhao continued to prosper.

During the reign of King Huiwen of Zhao, military talents of Zhao gradually emerged, and Lian Po was one of the best.

However, after King Zhao Xiaocheng ascended the throne, the power system of Zhao was turbulent, and Lian Po's status gradually rose.

The Battle of Changping caused Lian Po's popularity within Zhao to rise sharply, but the battle actually caused a huge burden on Zhao's national strength.

After two years of confrontation, the strength of the Zhao State could not compete with the Qin State.

In order to avoid the adverse impact of Lian Po's continued confrontation, King Zhao Xiaocheng removed his military power, which led to the escalation of the conflict and Lian Po was forced to leave Zhao.

During the period when Wei was in the limelight, although he had the opportunity to return to Zhao, it was difficult to reuse the master due to his high merit, so he could only live in exile.

Even if the Chu State later wanted to reuse Lian Po, it failed in the end. Although Lian Po was brave and brilliant, he was displaced by the changes of the times and the calculation of power, and finally died in a foreign country.
