Wang Zhenqi was a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, one of the ten brothers of the Zhao KuangYin Righteous Society, and made great contributions in the process of helping him establish the Northern Song Dynasty. Although Wang Zhenqi is a military general, but the drops of wine do not stick, why did he become an amazing amount of wine after Zhao Kuangyin prayed to the heavens, the captain explained to you in detail.
First, turn to Guo Wei
Wang Zhenqi
Wang Zhenqi joined the army in his early years and served under the Later Han general Guo Wei, because of his thick and simple personality, steady and strategic, and brave and good at war, he was very trusted by Guo Wei. In the first year of Qianyou (948), Hezhong Jiedu caused Li Shouzhen to rebel, so Wang Zhenqi went with Guo Wei to quell the rebellion, and was promoted to deputy general of the Department of Zhizuo for his merits.
Second, the week after the effect
Guo Wei
In the first year of Guangshun (951), Guo Wei established himself as emperor and established Later Zhou. As a result, Wang Zhenqi turned allegiance to Hou Zhou and held the positions of head of the Eastern and Western Classes, Zhizhi of the Inner Temple, and Commander of the Iron Horse. In the first year of Xiande (954), the Northern Han Dynasty took advantage of Guo Wei's illness and died, invading Later Zhou in the south. As a result, Wang Xianqi fought bravely with Zhou Shizong against the Han army, fought bravely in the Battle of Gaoping, and made great contributions to repelling the Han army, so he was promoted to the position of Yu Hou, the capital of the Eastern and Western Bans, and soon promoted to the capital of the Right Second Army of his army.

During the Battle of Gaoping, Zhou Shizong realized that there was a big problem in the Zhou army, so he decided to promote young talents. Then Zhou Shizong summoned the officers of the Forbidden Army to a feast and let them try to shoot arrows. Wang Zhenqi performed prominently in the competition, shooting the heart many times, so he was strongly praised by Zhou Shizong and was promoted to the rank of Qinzhou Assassin.
Third, attack the Southern Tang
Later weeks
In the second year of Xiande (955), Zhou Shizong marched south to southern Tang, and all the way progressed smoothly, but was hindered in Shuzhou. Zhou Shizong then appointed Guo Lingtu as the Assassin of Shu Prefecture and sent Wang Zhenqi and Si Chao to lead elite troops to besiege the city. Wang Zhenqi urged his soldiers to fight to the death, and as a result, it took less than a day to conquer Shuzhou, and a large amount of armor and weapons were captured. Guo Lingtu then entered the city to appease the people, and Wang Zhenqi led an army to rescue Huangzhou.
Soon after, the Southern Tang launched a counterattack and recaptured Shuzhou, and Guo Lingtu had to abandon the city and flee. When Wang Zhenqi heard about this, he selected elite cavalry to travel at night, preparing to catch the Tang army by surprise. Soon the Zhou army reached the city of Shuzhou, unexpectedly defeated the Tang army, and recaptured Shuzhou. Zhou Shizong listened to the great joy and promoted Wang Zhenqi to be the commander of the scattered capital.
Later Zhou Dynasty Southern Tang
In the fourth year of Xiande (957), Wang Zhenqi took the lead in the Battle of Purple Mountain, defeated the Tang army, and was promoted to the post of Commander of the Right Wing of the Crane and the Qianzhou Regiment. Subsequently, Wang Xianqi participated in the siege of Haozhou, and led a death squad to launch an attack, attacking the Tang army's water village and forcing the Haozhou Tang army to surrender. Wang Zhenqi then participated in the attack on Chu Prefecture, predicting that the Tang army would definitely cut open the south gate and escape, so he set up an ambush outside the south gate in advance, captured nearly 10,000 Tang troops, and also presented it to the emperor. Zhou Shizong was overjoyed and rewarded Wang Zhenqi with a famous horse, a jade belt, and a silk satin.
Fourth, to serve the Northern Song Dynasty
Stone keeps faith
In the sixth year of Xiande (959), Wang Zhenqi accompanied Zhou Shizong to the north to cut down the Liao and capture Waqiao Pass and other places. Soon after Emperor Shizong of Zhou died of illness, his son Emperor Gong of Zhou ascended the throne, and Crown Prince Zhenqi was made the defensive envoy of Yu Hou and Muzhou in front of the palace. At that time, the military power of Later Zhou was in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, and he was good with Wang Zhenqi, Shi Shouxin and others, and became the ten brothers of the Yishe. Zhao Kuangyin saw that Emperor Gong of Zhou was young, knew that the lord was suspicious of the country, and had the intention of usurping the throne. When Wang Zhenqi learned of this, he and Shi Shouxin and other righteous brothers gave their support.
Kaifeng
In the seventh year of Xiande (960), Zhao Kuangyin launched a mutiny at ChenQiao and then returned to his division. Wang Zhenqi and Shi Shouxin then opened the city to greet them, making It easy for Zhao Kuangyin to capture Bieliang. Soon After, Zhao Kuangyin usurped Zhou Jiansong and made Wang Zhenqi the commander of the palace and the envoy of the Taining Army. Subsequently, Wang Zhenqi participated in quelling Li Yun's rebellion and was replaced by WuChengjun Jiedushi.
Fifth, drinking anecdotes
Zhao Kuangyin
In the second year of Jianlong (961), Wang Zhenqi served as the envoy of the Zhongzheng Army, and during his term of office, he was generous and peaceful, and he lived within his means of taxation, never apportioning additionally, which made the people appreciate it. One day, Wang Zhenqi went on a pilgrimage to see Zhao Kuangyin and accompanied him to a banquet. Zhao Kuangyin drank happily, and it was a pity to see that Wang Zhenqi would not drink, so he prayed to heaven and said: "Wine is a blessing from heaven, and Zhenqi is a brother of Yuan, and he should share the glory and wealth with Yuan, so why not let him drink?" ”
Then Zhao Kuangyin held a wine glass and said to Wang Zhenqi: "Heaven will definitely give you the amount of wine, try to drink, don't be afraid." Wang Zhenqi listened and did not dare not drink, so he drank more than ten cups in a row, and nothing happened. After that, Wang Zhenqi accompanied Zhao Kuangyin to drink and feast, often drinking a lot. But if Wang Zhenqi drank privately himself, he would not be able to drink it, even if he forced to drink, he would get sick.
Northern song dynasty
One day, a county commander of the Zhongzheng Army expelled him for committing crimes by his subordinates, but did not report to Wang Zhenqi in advance. Wang's staff were very angry about this, so they advised him to punish the county order. Wang Zhenqi said: "For five generations, the feudal towns have been arrogant, and the county officials cannot handle the affairs of the county alone. Now that the world is at peace, my county decree can punish the adulterer and deserve to be rewarded, so why punish him? The staff listened and admired him.
Northern Han Dynasty
In the second year of Kaibao (969), Wang Zhenqi accompanied Zhao Kuangyin in his campaign against the Northern Han Dynasty and served as an inspector on all four sides of the imperial camp. In the third year of Kaibao (970), Wang Zhenqi entered the dynasty as an official, accompanied Zhao Kuangyin to drink and feast, and repeatedly shot the bullseye in archery competitions, and was rewarded with the royal horse and the golden saddle. In the seventh year of Kaibao (974), Wang Zhenqi was seriously ill and could not speak, so Zhao Kuangyin personally went to visit. Soon after Wang Zhenqi died of illness, Zhao Kuangyin was greatly saddened and posthumously awarded him the title of King of Langya County.
In general, Wang Zhenqi was a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, and made great contributions in the process of helping Zhao Kuangyin establish the Northern Song Dynasty. Wang Zhenqi originally did not drink alcohol, but under the strong pressure of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, he had to drink alcohol, so he became an amazing amount of alcohol. Therefore, others advised Wang Zhenqi not to have such a big psychological burden, and naturally could not drink wine.
