King Zhao used Lian Po as his commander and defeated the enemy many times. When the enemy soldiers heard Lian Po's name, they were all frightened. But later, King Zhao fell into Qin's alienation scheme and thought that Lian Po was old and useless, so he sent young general Zhao Kuo to replace him. Zhao Kuo was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, which caused the Zhao army to suffer a huge defeat and the Zhao country was almost destroyed.

The King of Zhao wanted to re-appoint the veteran general Lian Po, so he sent an envoy to see how the old general was doing and whether he was still willing to serve the country. Lian Po was very happy to see King Zhao's envoy. In order to show that his prestige was still the same as before and that he could still fight in battles and serve the country, he ate a bushel of rice and ten kilograms of meat in one meal.

He said to the envoy: "Look at me, although I am old, I can still eat and fight. As long as the king is willing to use me, I will never give up and go back to lead the troops to fight immediately!"

After the envoy left, Lian Po looked forward to King Zhao's transfer order day and night, but he never got it. It turned out that the envoy accepted a bribe from a bad guy named Guo Kai and deliberately told lies in front of King Zhao, saying that although Lian Po had a good appetite, he pooped three times in a short period of time. After hearing this, King Zhao thought that Lian Po was really useless, so he stopped calling him.

Lian Po worked hard for the peace of Zhao State all his life. In his later years, he still hoped to contribute to the country and said to others: "I really hope that one day I can lead the soldiers of Zhao State to charge into battle!"
