After Yan Zongbi, the year of birth is unknown, originally called 斡啜, also known as Wushu, 斡出 and 晃斡出. He was from the Jurchen clan, he was the fourth son of Jin Taizu, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty, who made great achievements for the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. Yan Zongbi has had great courage and insight since he was a child, and riding horses and shooting arrows is not a problem. At first, he followed his second brother Yan Zongwang around in battle, and pursued the last emperor of the Liao State, Emperor Tianzuo, at Mandarin Duck Luo. Since then, he has established many achievements on the battlefield. He died of illness on 19 November 1148 at Huining Province, Shangjing.
Finish Yan Zongbi stills
Yan Zongbi was a fierce general, and his whole life was almost always fighting with the enemy on the battlefield, the early stage was with the Liao State, and the later period was with the Song Dynasty. Since he was a child, Yan Zongbi was a brave and burly, tall and tall person, and his courage and courage were far beyond ordinary people. When his father, Yan Ah Bone, rebelled against the rule of the Liao State, he was not yet an adult, so his father did not take him to the battlefield. However, his brothers were all important generals of the Jin Dynasty at that time, and all of them were very brave and brave, and the deeds of these people had a huge impact on the completion of Yan Zongbi at that time.
His first expedition was probably in 1121, when his father launched a second major war against the Liao. He followed his uncle in the year to finish the Yan Gao. By the following year, the Jin emperor had already conquered the Liao state of Zhongjing, at this time the Jin general Yan Zonghan learned that the Liao emperor Yelü Yanxi was hunting in the area of Mandarin Duck Luo, which is now Zhangbei in Hebei, so he and The Completed Yan Gao soldiers attacked the Tianzuo Emperor in two ways, and the then Completed Yan Zongbi was in the army of the Completed Yan Gao. When the Jin army passed through Qingling, Emperor Yanzong saw that zongbi and horse monks were engaged in battle with more than 300 liao soldiers, and completed yan zongbi alone killed eight Liao soldiers and captured five liao soldiers, and has since emerged in the army.
Yan Zongbi's performance in the subsequent battles with the Song army was also very prominent, and he fought against the Song army in Huang Tiandang and Fu Ping, with victories and defeats. It can be said that he was one of the important figures who made the Song Dynasty suffer the "shame of Jingkang". His military prowess and combat prowess are undeniable.
Why did Yan Zongbi lose to Yue Fei
In the confrontation between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, Yan Zongbi and Yue Fei were important generals and key figures at that time. Yan Zongbi was one of the founding heroes and an important figure in peace between the Song and Jin dynasties. In the first few years of the peace between the two countries in 1141, he was the main general of the Jin Dynasty at that time. Yue Fei, on the other hand, was the most distinguished and prestigious of the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, and his heroic performance not only stabilized the foundation of the southern Song Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the state, but also prevented the Jin army from going south, and also strengthened the strength of the Negotiations between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. At that time, if we wanted to talk about which of these two people was better, it must be Yue Fei.
The first battle between Yan Zongbi and Yue Fei was probably in 1126, when Yan Zongbi attacked the Capital of the Northern Song Dynasty as a pioneer, And then captured Yue Fei's hometown of Tangyin and other places. However, at this time, Yue Fei was only a small junior officer, and he could not grasp the real power of the army at all. Therefore, yue fei's failure cannot be attributed here. In 1129, Yan Zongbi led a large army south and crossed the river at Majia. At that time, du Chong, the commander of the Song army, ordered all seventeen people such as Yue Fei and Chen Quan to fight with him, and although Yue Fei was promoted to an officer, he still did not have the command of the army, and the result of this war also ended with the departure of Yue Fei and others. It can't be said here that there is a winner or loser between the two of them.
After that, Yan Zongbi continued to rush to Lin'an, while Yue Fei operated guerrilla warfare to block the invasion of the Jin army, and won a total of six major victories. Only here can Yue Fei really fight as a commander and finish Yan Zongbi. Later, in 1130, after Yan Zongbi withdrew, Yue Fei once again defeated his troops left in Jiankang with guerrilla warfare, and Yue Fei's military talents and superior strategies shone brightly here.
Although it is said that Yue Fei did defeat Yan Zongbi, it is not denied that Yan Zongbi was indeed an excellent general, but Yue Fei was wiser than him, especially this strong desire to recover his homeland was something that Yan Zongbi did not have. This may be the main reason why Yue Feinen is able to defeat him.
