Hello everyone, here is Ah Kuan talking about history.
In history, there is such a person who has won the martial arts and won the third place in the martial arts. After the leader of the battle was defeated by the enemy, he was pressed by the enemy to the court and prepared to kill him. However, he was able to kill the executioner, jump into the river and fly away, and finally defeat the main force of the enemy and successfully take revenge. He is Yang Zhan, the only general in history who has successfully escaped from the legal field.
It can be said that many people are very unfamiliar with the name Yang Zhan, and if you do not study history, it is difficult to know this name. Yang Zhan was born in 1604 and was a native of Jiading (present-day Leshan), Sichuan. The history books record that "Yang Zhan was more than seven feet long and heroic and generous." At that time, it was the last year of the Ming Dynasty, and there were soldiers and horses everywhere, and it may be for this reason that Yang Zhan had trained a good skill.
In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Zhan went to the capital alone to take the exam, and on the way he met a small hair thief, who wanted to rob him. Yang Zhan smiled contemptuously at the little hairy thief and said to him, "If you want money, first compare the arrow technique with me." A hundred paces away, you raise an arrow as a target. If I don't, you can take your possessions. The hairy thief agreed. As a result, one shot pierced the shaft of his arrow, scaring the horse thief into fleeing.
When the exam began, the examiner released a fierce horse, which used chains as a rein and was fierce. At that time, no one dared to ride up, only Yang Zhan dared to ride up. Since then, Yang Zhan's reputation in the capital has been greatly enhanced, and later Yang Zhan has won the third place in Wujinshi. Yang Zhan joined the army of Yang Sichang and was subordinate to Zeng Ying, and the imperial court gave him the garrison of Guangyuan. Later, Yang Zhan recruited the rebels at Baizhangguan and gave him the rank of general of the Zhongjun Army in Chuanzhen.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong led a large army to attack Chengdu, which was then guarded by Yang Zhan and Cao Xun. Later, due to insufficient troops, Yang Zhan was captured, and Zhang Xianzhong ordered all the prisoners to be killed. When Yang Zhan was pressed to the court, Yang Zhan snatched the executioner's knife, killed the executioner, and jumped into the river to swim to Xinjin to escape. Later, Yang Zhan's growing forces rebelled against Zhang Xianzhong and constantly defeated Zhang Xianzhong's generals, and finally Yang Zhan defeated Zhang Xianzhong's main force at the Battle of Pengshan (present-day Meishan, Sichuan), and also killed Zhang Xianzhong's younger brother, which can be said to be a successful revenge.
