Summoning of the Great General of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 228

Guo Hama (1192-1236), also known as Guo Bin.Huizhou (now Huining) people.A famous general in the Jin Dynasty, his family has been a shooter protecting his homeland for generations.During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Jin Dynasty, he and his elder brother Lu mostly enlisted in the army because they were good at shooting.In the early years of Xingding, due to his outstanding military achievements, Lu Da was awarded the title of Tongzhi Pingliang Prefecture and Governor of Huizhou. He was promoted to the first rank and given the surname Yanzhan to guard Huizhou.Later, he repeatedly made military exploits and was reused by Jin Aizong.Three years after Jin's death, Guo Hato was still trapped in the isolated city. At the last moment of the battle, he set himself on fire and died.I was 45 years old.

Guo Hama's father and grandfather were Baojia archers.During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Jin Dynasty, he and his brother Guo Luda enlisted in the army with good marksmanship.

In the early years of Xingding (1217), Guo Luda moved away because of his meritorious deeds, taught him the Pingliang government affairs, and was also the governor of Huizhou. He gave him the surname Yanzhan and guarded Huizhou.He was in the Huizhou army with his brother.

In the fourth year of Xingding (1220), the Xixia army attacked Huizhou. Guo Luda saw from a distance that the generals and horses leading the Xixia army were all wearing gold armor, and they were about 200 steps away from them.Lu Dayao shot an arrow, which hit the general's throat and was shot to death immediately.Another person was shot, and the arrow pierced through his hands and nailed to a tree. The Xixia army was shocked.

Later, due to being outnumbered, Huizhou City was breached.Both Lu Da and Xia Toad were captured.The Xixia people saw that they were good at archery, so they locked them up.Both brothers vowed to die unyielding.After Jin Ting knew this situation, he gave special rewards, but he didn't know whether they were still alive, so he had to make an exception and appointed Guo Luda's son as a first-rank officer with the rank of patrol captain, in recognition of their brother's loyalty.

Later, the two brothers planned to wait for an opportunity to flee to Huizhou and pull out their beards. When they were discovered, Guo Luda was killed by the Xixia army, and Guo Hamad fled back alone.Jin Xuanzong was grateful for Guo Luda's loyalty, and ordered his son to be promoted again, and he was granted the military judge of Huizhou from a distance, and Guo Xiama was granted the jurisdiction of Gongzhou (Longxi, Gansu Province) from a distance.The advising officer asked for a commendation and appointed Guo Luda's younger brother, so he was promoted to two ranks of Guo Hama, and he was given the same knowledge of Lanzhou military affairs.

In the fifth year of Xingding (1221), more than 700 Xixia cavalry invaded Dingxi. Guo Hama led the army to defeat them, beheaded 50, and won [-] horses.

In the second year of Yuanguang (1223), hundreds of thousands of Xixia cavalry attacked Fengxiang (now part of Shaanxi), and the situation was urgent.Marshal Chizhan Hexi led the army with Guo Hama. When Guo Hamo followed Chizhan Hexi to patrol the city, he saw a Xixia general sitting on a bed outside the moat. look of the person.He Xi pointed to Xia Ma and asked him if he could shoot this man.Guo Haba measured the distance and said: "Yes." Guo Haba usually shoots arrows, and he is used to shooting where the enemy's armpit armor cannot cover, and he can hit every shot.I saw Haad draw his bow and set up an arrow, and when the Xixia general raised his elbow, he was shot dead with one arrow.The morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, but the Xixia army was inexplicably terrified.

After repelling the Xixia Army, Guo Hama was awarded the Jingnan Jiedu Envoy from afar, and soon changed to the Yuanjun Jiedu Envoy, and was awarded the Mountain East and West Roads, and the Jinting sent envoys to reward them, and sent envoys in various places. The county publicized his deeds.Since Emperor Xizong of Jin dismissed Han and Meng'an Mouke from Bohai, only high-ranking officials from the Jurchen, Khitan, Xi and other tribes could grant Meng'an Mouke the Duke.In the last years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Jin Dynasty, in order to reward generals with outstanding military exploits, people from all ethnic groups such as Han and Bohai could confer this duke.Therefore, Guo Xiama received this honor and sent it to the surrounding counties.

In the winter of this year, Guo Hama and Marshal Tian Rui of Gongzhou captured Huizhou.Guo Xiama led 500 cavalry, wearing red clothes, and descended from the Nanshan Mountain in Huizhou.There were soldiers in the city who raised their hands behind the hanging board, and they were shot by an arrow from the frog, piercing through their hands and boards, and shooting hundreds of people to death.The Xixia army was terrified, so they surrendered.Huizhou was occupied by Xixia for nearly four years before it was recovered.

In the first year of Zhengda (1224), Tian Rui rebelled against gold according to Gongzhou.Jin Aizong ordered the two provinces of Shaanxi to jointly attack him.Guo Haba led the soldiers to climb the city wall first and broke through Gongzhou.Tian Rui opened the door and fled, but was killed by his younger brother Tian Ji.In this battle, Guo Hama beheaded more than 5000 people. Because of his military merits, he was remotely awarded the office of Fengxiang, the chief of the military and horse capital of the road, the marshal Zuo Dujian, and the affairs of the marshals of Xinglan, Hui, Tao, and He.

In September of the sixth year of Zhengda (1229), Guo Xia Tou presented two Xixia horses to Jin Aizong. Jin Aizong issued an edict saying: "You are superb in martial arts. These two horses can gallop with you on the battlefield. It will be a waste if I ride them." Since it has been donated, it is regarded as being raised by the royal family, so I will give it to you." He also gave many precious things such as a golden tripod, a jade rabbit and a falcon.

In the second year of Tianxing (1232), Kaifeng ran out of food, and reinforcements could not be called in, and generals were scarce.The Mongolian army may besiege the city at any time.Jin Aizong abandoned Kaifeng and fled to Guide Mansion (now Shangqiu, Henan), and moved from Guide Mansion to Caizhou (now Runan, Henan) the following year.After arriving in Caizhou, Jin Aizong felt that Caizhou was located on Rushui, a tributary of Huai River, bordering Song Dynasty in the south, and there was no danger to defend.He also planned to move to Gongchang Mansion (that is, Gongzhou) and use Niange Wanzhan as Gongchang Palace.

In the first month of spring in the third year of Tianxing (1234), Niange Wanzhan heard that Caizhou had been breached. In order to stabilize the army, he led the people to defend the city to wait for the new emperor of the Jin Dynasty. He sent someone to pretend to be an envoy from Caizhou, saying There is an imperial decree and so on.Wang Shixian, commander-in-chief of Suidezhou, also knew that Caizhou city was broken, and Jin Aizong committed suicide and died for the country.Wang Shixian always resented Niange Wanzhan for suppressing himself, and wanted to send troops to attack Gongchang in a false edict.But he was also afraid of the prestige of the frog, so he sent people to ask the frog to attack Gongchang together.When the envoy arrived, Guo Xiama said to him, "Duke Niange was ordered to be the province, and whoever dares to disobey an order.

Now he lives in Caizhou, which is under siege, and plans to move to Gongchang.When the country is in crisis, since we cannot risk our lives to help him, nor can we lead the crowd to welcome him, we must attack Niange Gong and first destroy the place where the general is moving.Where will the Lord move to?If your coach wants to betray the country, then let him do it on his own. Why add me? "So Wang Shixian led his troops to attack Gongchang, robbed and killed Niange Wanzhan, surrendered to the Mongolian army, and sent more than [-] envoys to persuade Guo Xiabao to surrender, but they were all rejected.

After the demise of the Kingdom of Jin, all the western state capitals returned to Mongolia, and only Guo Hama held on to the isolated city for nearly three years.

In October of the eighth year of the Mongolian Ogedai Khan (1236), the Mongolian army attacked the city together.Xia Toad felt that the city was about to be lost, but was still determined to fight to the end. He gathered all the gold, silver, copper and iron in the state and cast them into cannons to fight back against the Mongolian army. He also killed cattle and horses to comfort the soldiers, and burned his own house and savings to show that he would die. Determined, he said: "Don't stay for the Mongolian army." They fought bloody battles day and night and resisted to the death.The Mongolian army was unable to capture the city quickly.The number of casualties among the soldiers was increasing, and the city was about to be destroyed.Guo Xia Tou ordered people to pile firewood in the state government office, gathered his family and the wives and daughters of the generals in the city, locked them in a room, and prepared to burn them himself.

The fire burned bigger and bigger, Guo Haba led the soldiers to draw their bows in front of the fire and waited for the Mongolian army to attack.When the city was breached, the Mongol soldiers swarmed in. After fighting for a long time, the soldiers who had lost all their ammunition jumped into the fire.Toad stood on the big haystack, covered it with a door panel, and shot two or three hundred arrows, hitting a hundred hits. When the arrows were shot, he threw the bow and arrows into the fire, and burned himself to death.No one in the city surrendered.When Guo Hama was martyred, he was only 45 years old, and the local people set up a shrine to commemorate him.The former site of Jingyuan Town God's Temple is the former site of the temple, and the city god in the temple is Guo Xiama.

The city where Guo Hamo died in the last battle is now called "Guo Hamo City".
The ruins of the ancient city consist of an inner city and two outer cities, and there are three moats. According to the measurement of relevant units, the south wall of the inner city is 360 meters long, the north wall is 172 meters long, and the east wall is 444 meters long. Li He was destroyed.

Wanyan Shouxu: "Qing's martial arts are superb."

Hao Jing: "If you don't aid Xixia and abandon the capital of Yan, your roots will be ruined and the barriers will be sparse. If you don't have the capital of Chang'an, you will have Bianliang, so you can live long for the love of Qingwu. Longshang Haoshan Shanxi General, worrying about the country is speechless and melancholy. ZTE does not use force The land, the monarch and the ministers, what do I expect? Guo Gongtang is loyal and brave, and he refuses to protect the Qin Gong by the Taohe River. After a few years, he has to build the Xingtai, and the Jincheng is strong and the Huayue is towering. Who knows that he will always rely on Tongguan to guard against evil! The Huns ruled the Liang and Song Dynasties as Kucha, and they regarded Qin Liang and other Wu and Yue. Xizhou gradually became isolated and the number of enemies increased, and the surrounding suburbs were surrounded by fortifications. How can the enemy be defeated? , The city fell into ruins and received short soldiers.

First put his wife in the grass, and fight to the death with all arrows.Arrows and arrowheads are like raindrops, but the enemy dare not pay attention to them.When the bow was shortlisted, he set himself on fire, and when the flying arrow came out of the shortlist, he burned his feathers.The strength of Huifei City's fall began to exhaust, and the virtuous king set up a shrine to call it heroic.Wang Shiwan dismounted to worship, and the sound of whipping was loud.The Yellow River is full of bitter tears, and Longshan has no color since then.On the E'e General's Day, the name of the country is solemn, and the heroic spirits are the stars in the sky.Only when Runan was shattered, he saw Tianxing from the flames.It is unheard of for the ministers to set themselves on fire, each to die! "

"Golden History": "Gongqing and officials occupy their positions and eat their salary. When the country is in trouble, those who are in power will die their officials, those who guard the counties will die in the city, those who rule the army will die in battle, and the officials in the market and grass will die in anger. It's what it wants. Therefore, if you die and get what you want, you will have more desires than those who are alive."

Legend has it that Guo Toad has three treasures: a sacred cow, a paper man and a paper horse, and a white dog.This divine cow travels thousands of miles a day, walking as fast as flying, and what is even more amazing is that there is a swallow's nest on the tail of the divine cow. One day, Guo Hama was away from home. Guo Hama's sister said to her sister-in-law, look at us. The swallow's nest growing on the tail of our ox is so cumbersome, why not take it out, the ox will definitely run faster.Let's talk, then I took a sharp sword and chopped down the swallow's nest. How did she know that the magic of this cow is precisely here. After the cow was cut down from the swallow's nest, the pain was unbearable, and soon he walked out of the city, fell to the riverside and died.

Paper figurines and paper horses are even more miraculous. They are invulnerable in battle. Once enemy soldiers come, just open the arsenal, and the paper figurines and paper horses will rush out, killing the enemy until they are completely defeated and flee.The fly in the ointment is that these paper men and paper horses can only fight on sunny days, and cannot act on rainy days.Guo Hama had no good plan for this, and was unhappy. Later, a wandering Taoist priest passed by here and told Guo Hama that there is paulownia lacquer in the capital, and as long as you paint paulownia lacquer on paper figures and horses, you can fight in rainy days. Yan was overjoyed, so he set off to the capital to fetch lacquer. Before leaving, he asked his wife repeatedly that no matter what happened, Hyogo could not be opened.Soon after Guo Toad left, the Mongol army got the news that there was no heavy guard in the city, so they mobilized [-] troops to besiege Huizhou City. Opening the Hyogo, the paper men and paper horses were dispatched together in a short time, but saw flying sand and rocks outside the city, the sky was dark, the paper men, paper horses were like broken bamboos, and killed the Mongolian army corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and fled in a panic.

But the enemy army had already fled away, but the paper figures and horses were still galloping back and forth, trampling on the fertile land and killing the people.It turned out that Guo Hama's wife would only let it go but not take it back. These paper figures and horses could not be taken back, so they could only continue to harm the people. Toad figured out what was going on with his fingers. In order to stop the paper figurines from killing innocent people indiscriminately, he immediately invited the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and it rained heavily in the northwest. Poor paper figurines, paper horses, how could they withstand the heavy rain? All of them were destroyed outside the city and turned into a vast expanse of whiteness, just like alkaline land. So far, people still call this place Alkaline Beach.

Guo Hama's white dog is also unusual. If there is an enemy a hundred miles away, the white dog will report to the owner with an unusual bark. Usually the white dog guards the Hyogo. The army besieged the city, Guo Hama's wife put paper men and paper horses, and the white dog was not allowed to enter outside the Hyogo. Awakened by the heavy rain, when he woke up, the Hyogo had been opened, and all the paper figures and horses were gone. Only then did the white dog know that something was wrong. The loyal white dog blamed himself for being greedy and dereliction of duty. above the threshold.

He was promoted to the first rank of official and was given the surname Yan Zhan.When the Xia people attacked Huizhou, Lu Dayao saw his main soldiers and horses, all dressed in gold, entering and leaving the formation for more than [-] steps. One shot hit him and killed him.He shot another person, hitting his hands into a tree, and the enemy was greatly frightened.The city was destroyed, and all the people including the big people and the shrimps and toads were killed.The Xia people took pity on his skills and imprisoned him. All brothers swore to die and would not surrender.When the imperial court heard about it, it was proposed to give him an excellent reward, but the existence of it was unknown, so he was specially moved to the first rank of the official rank of companion Niu, the eldest son of Lu, and was given the rank of patrol officer to show his loyalty.Later, the brothers planned to go to a meeting and pulled out their own beards. When they found out, Lu Da was actually killed, and the toad pulled out his own hair and returned home.Shangsi Lu was so loyal that he was ordered to move back to the rank of Niu Guan.

Because of the military plan, he was afraid of the prestige of the toad, so he sent an envoy to make an appointment with the toad and try to break Gongchang.When the envoy arrived, Hato said to him, "Mr. Niange was ordered to be the province. Who would dare to disobey the order. Now the Lord is besieged by Cai and plans to move to Gongchang. When the country is in crisis, we can't die to help , and can’t be flattered by Ye Zhong, but wants to attack Duke Niange, first abolish the land of relocation, and go up to where it belongs.
