Kneeling: It is urgent to bravely overcome the case of cowardice!

Cao Cao was timid and chose courage.

-The Battle of Guandu (200) In the first month of the fifth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao sent Chen Lin to write a campaign and published it, in which Cao Cao was scolded. In February, he marched into Liyang, attempted to cross the river, and sought a decisive battle with the main force of Jun. First, he sent Yan Liang to attack Ada, the satrap of Baima East County, in an attempt to seize the south bank of the Yellow River to ensure that the main force crossed the river. In April, in order to take the initiative, Cao Cao won the first battle and personally led the troops to the north to rescue the white horse. At this time, Xun You, the counselor, thought that Yuan Shaobing was numerous, and suggested that a diversion should be made to disperse troops. First led the troops to Yanjin, crossed the river in disguise, attacked the rear of Yuan Yuan, let Yuan Shaobing divide his troops and March westward, and then sent a light horse to attack Yuan Jun, who was attacking the white horse, so as to defeat Yan Liang. Cao Cao adopted this suggestion, and Yuan Shao was sure to divide his troops and delay Tianjin. Cao Cao took the opportunity to lead a Qingqi and sent Zhang Liao and Guan Yu as pioneers, eager for a white horse. Guan Yu quickly approached Yan, Yan Liang was killed and Yuan Jun was defeated. After Cao Cao solved the siege of Baima, the people who migrated to Baima retreated westward along the Yellow River. Yuan Shao led the army to cross the river in pursuit, and the army went south to Yanjin, and sent generals Wen Chou and Liu Bei to continue to lead the troops in pursuit of Jun. At that time, Cao Cao had only 600 cavalry, stationed under Nansakan (Baima South), while Yuan Junda rode five or six thousand, followed by infantry. Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to untie their saddles and release their horses, deliberately leaving the trench by the roadside. As soon as Yuan Jun saw the recruits, he began to fight for property. Cao Cao suddenly attacked, finally defeated Yuan Jun, killed Wen Chou and returned to Guandu smoothly.

Sixth, the war situation is reversed.

Yuan Jun lost the first battle, but his troops still had the upper hand. In July, he marched into Wu Yang (now Zhongmou North, Henan Province) and prepared to attack Xu Changnan. In August, Yuan Jun's main force approached Guandu, and camped in the sand pile, which was about dozens of miles wide from east to west. Cao Cao also camped and confronted Yuan Jun .. In September, Cao Jun once attacked, failed to win, and returned to the camp to hold on. Yuan Shao built a tower and a mountain, and hit Cao Ying with an arrow. Cao Jun built a mine car with a riprap device, which destroyed the building built by Yuan Jun ... Yuan Jun dug a tunnel to attack again, and Cao Jun also dug a long trench in the camp to resist. After three months of stalemate between the two sides, Cao Cao almost lost the confidence to persist, because of the difficult external environment, the lack of food in the front serenade, the fatigue of the foot soldiers and the instability in the rear. Yuxun tunnel. Cao Cao was determined to stick to the crisis and strengthen the defense. He ordered Ren Jun, who was in charge of logistics supply, to take 10 road column as one, shorten the distance between the front and rear of the motorcade, and strengthen the guards with multiple arrays (two arrays) to stop Yuan Jun from attacking. On the other hand, he actively sought and captured fighter planes, defeated Yuan Jun, and soon sent Cao Ren and Shi Huan to intercept and burn thousands of grain trucks in Yuan Jun, which increased the difficulties of Yuan Jun.

Seven, Wu Chao surprise attack

In October of the same year, Yuan Shao sent a car to transport grain, and Chunyu Qiong led the troops with 10,000 escorts, stationed in the old city (in Yanjin County, Henan Province) and Wu Chao (now southeast of Henan Province) about 20 kilometers north of Yuan Jun Daying. Just then, Yuan Shao's counselor Xu You defected to Cao Cao and suggested that Cao Cao go into battle lightly, raid the lair and burn its trench. Cao Cao immediately put it into practice, leaving Cao Hong and Xun You to guard the camp, personally leading the troops to ride 5,000, falsely using the banner, and people tied their horses to shut up, each with a pile of firewood, and attacked Wu's lair in the dark. Upon arrival, they immediately surrounded and set fire to it. When Yuan Shao learned that Cao Cao had attacked the Wu Dynasty, he only sent light cavalry to rescue him, while the main force stormed the camp in Cao Jun. I just know that Cao Caoqiang can't attack. When Jun rushed to Wu Chao Chunyu Qiong Barracks, Yuan Shao's reinforcements were approaching. Cao fought to the death, defeated and killed Chunyu Qiong, and burned all his provisions. The front line in Yuan Jun heard that the Wu Dynasty was broken, which caused the morale of the army to be shaken, the internal division and the army to collapse. Yuan Shao returned to Hebei in a panic with 800 riders, and successively annihilated and trapped more than 70,000 Yuan Jun. In this way, the battle of Guandu ended in Yuan's defeat.

Yang Jisheng faced cowardice and chose courage.

-Yan Song, who died illegally, listed Yan Song's top ten crimes and five rape, but was framed and imprisoned again because of the darkness of the situation and was tortured.

During his imprisonment, he was flogged at 100. A colleague can't take it anymore. He asked someone to give Yang Jisheng a pair of snake gall, telling him that it would relieve the pain. However, Yang Jisheng once again showed his fearlessness and courage:

"I Yangjiao Mountain (Cape Mountain, Yang Jisheng) have the guts, so I don't need this!"

The scepter broke his leg bone, the leg meat was destroyed, and Yang Jisheng, who was unconscious, was dragged back to his cell. No one bandaged him, and his wound began to deteriorate in the dirty and cold air bred by flies and insects.

In the imperial court, Yang Jisheng did a sensational thing, challenging the limits of mankind.

One night after the trial, Yang Jisheng sat quietly in the corner of the imperial edict prison, with his head down and a broken bowl in his hand, absorbed in scraping the rotten meat on his leg. He has no anesthetic, no hoop, and no white towel to shut his mouth. He just kept scraping carrion calmly. The bowl is not sharp and carrion is not easy to cut. It was excruciating pain, but Yang Jisheng didn't make a sound.

He waited for death calmly, only seeking death.

In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555), Yang Jisheng still stubbornly insisted on going to jail. This year, Yan Song finally achieved his goal-to get rid of the man who shook his power. Sejong ordered the execution of Yang Jisheng.

10 year 10 On October 27th, Yang Jisheng was killed at the execution ground in Beijing at the age of 40. People heard that Yang Jisheng would be beheaded, and people from four cities flocked to Xicheng to see Yang Jisheng off. The street was crowded with people and crying loudly, and the clear sky suddenly became dark. When Yang Jisheng was executed, he was serene, self-respecting, and when he died, he recited the poem aloud in public:

I am noble and upright, and I only died for the kingdom. Qi Hao is still in space. Although I will die, my heart will live forever and shine on future generations.

The life of the country has long been the heart of the country, but it has failed to fulfill the regret of the country, leaving ashes as evil spirits to be compensated by the state to destroy the enemy.

On this day, Yan Song celebrated his victory in his mansion, while Jiajing continued his monastic career in Xiyuan.

On this day, Yang Jisheng used his death to reveal the true face of Yan Song to the whole world. Before this, the arrogant Yan Party embarked on the road of extinction, because there is an old saying-public anger is hard to commit.

Seven years after Yang Jisheng's death, Yan Song and his son were defeated by Shang Shu, Xu Jie, a university student in Dongge. After Ming Taizu Mu Zong ascended the throne, he was rehabilitated as an unjust minister of the previous dynasty. Yang Jisheng was the first person to be posthumously awarded as Taichang Shao Qing.

In the second year of Qin Long, Hao Jie, the governor of Zhili, at the strong request of Baoding people, called Mu Zong: "Baoding House is the hometown of Yang Jisheng. Local officials and people please establish a shrine for Yang Jisheng as a permanent memorial and please approve it. " The emperor quickly approved it and named it "Zhong Jing" Temple.

Yang Gong Temple, built in Jinxian Hutong, has three halls, with a statue of Yang Jisheng in the middle, and two pavilions on each side of the hall. Each pavilion has a monument engraved with Yang Jisheng's History of Bama and Yan Song's Shu Shu. In the 13th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, two imperial letters of Fu Lin, the ancestor of Qing Dynasty, were engraved in the temple. There is an archway outside the gate of Yang Gong Temple, which reads "Watch", and another archway behind the temple reads "Zhong Jing Square".

Thirty-three years after the completion of Yang Gong Temple in Jinxian Hutong, people thought that the geomantic omen here was not good, so they built the second Yang Gong Temple (namely Jingzhong Temple) on Huanghuaguan Street. In the courtyard, there is an inscription on the Jingzhong Hall inscribed by Sun Chengzong, a great scholar, and the main entrance has the "Zhaodai Loyalist Square". When Kangxi was rebuilt for ten years in Qing Dynasty, another "Chengren Square" was added.
