Guo Shrimp Toad (1192-1236), also known as Guo Bin. A native of Huizhou (now Huining). A famous general of the Jin Dynasty, his family has been a shooter to protect his homeland for generations. During the time of Jin Xuanzong, he and his brother Lu were mostly recruited into the army with good shooting. In the early years of Xingding, Lu Da was awarded the history of Tongzhi Pingliang Mansion and Huizhou Thorn because of his outstanding military achievements, and he was given the first rank of official, given the surname Yan Zhan, and guarded Huizhou, and the shrimp toad was in the army with his brother. After making many military exploits, he was reused by Jin Aizong. Three years after Jin's death, Guo Shrimp Toad was still trapped in the lonely city, and fought to the last moment, self-immolation and death. He was 45 years old.

Guo Shrimp Toad's father and ancestor were armor shooters. When Jin Xuanzong, he and his brother Guo Lu were recruited into the army with good shooting.

In the early years of Xingding (1217), Guo Luda was awarded the Tongzhi Pingliang Mansion and the history of the Huizhou Assassin because of his meritorious relocation, and was given the surname Yan Zhan to guard the Huizhou. He was in the Huizhou army with his brother.

In the fourth year of Xingding (1220), the Western Xia army attacked Huizhou, and Guo Luda saw from afar that the generals and horses of the Western Xia led the troops were wearing gold armor and entering and exiting the battle, which was about 200 steps away from it. Lu Dayao fired an arrow that hit the general in the throat and was immediately shot to death. Another man was shot, and the arrow pierced through his hands and nailed to the tree, and the Western Xia army was shocked.

Later, due to being outnumbered, the city of Huizhou was breached. Both Lu Da and Shrimp Toad were captured. The Tanguts saw that they were skilled in archery and locked them up. Both brothers swore to die. When Ginting learned of this situation, he gave them a special reward, but he did not know if they were still alive, so he had to make an exception and appoint Guo Luda's son with the rank of Lieutenant and give him the rank of inspector in recognition of their brother's loyalty.

Later, the two brothers planned to wait for an opportunity to flee to Huizhou, plucked their beards, and were found out, Guo Lu was killed by the Western Xia army, and Guo Shrimp Toad fled alone. Jin Xuanzong was grateful for Guo Luda's loyalty, and ordered his son to be promoted again, and he was awarded the military judge of Huizhou, and Guo Shrimp Toad was granted the jurisdiction of Gongzhou (Longxi, Jin, Gansu). The counselor asked for a reward and appointment of Guo Luda's younger brother, so he promoted Guo Shrimp to two ranks and awarded the same knowledge of Lanzhou military affairs.

In the fifth year of Xingding (1221), more than 10,000 people in the Western Xia cavalry invaded Dingxi, Guo Shrimp Toad led the troops to defeat it, beheaded 700, obtained 50 horses, and moved to Lintao Mansion (now Lintao, Gansu).

In the second year of Yuanguang (1223), hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Western Xia attacked Fengxiang (now Shaanxi), and the situation was urgent. Marshal Chizhan Hexi led the military with Guo Shrimp Toad, and when Guo Shrimp Toad followed Chizhan Hexi to patrol the city, he saw a Western Xia general sitting on a bed outside the moat, thinking that the arrow power could not reach, and deliberately made a contemptuous appearance of the defenders. Hexi pointed to the toad and asked him if he could shoot the man. Guo Shrimp Toad measured the distance and said, "Yes." "Guo Shrimp Toad usually shoots arrows, and is used to shooting places that the enemy's armpit armor can't cover, and he misses everything. I saw the shrimp toad open his bow and set up an arrow, and when the Western Xia general raised his elbow, he shot him with an arrow. The morale of the defending soldiers was greatly boosted, and the Western Xia army was terrified.

After repelling the Western Xia army, Guo Shrimp Toad was awarded the Jing Difficult Festival Envoy by Yao, and soon changed to the Yuan Army Jie Du Envoy, and granted the east and west roads of the mountain to be a muster to conquer, and the Jin Ting sent envoys to reward him, and publicized his deeds in various counties. Since Jin Xizong dismissed the Han Dynasty and the Bohai people Meng'an Mouke, only the Jurchen, Khitan, Xi and other high-ranking officials and dignitaries could confer the title of Meng'an Mouke. In the last years of Jin Xuanzong, in order to reward the generals with outstanding military achievements, people of all ethnic groups such as Han and Bohai could be awarded this knighthood. Therefore, Guo Shrimp Toad received this honor and spread all over the border counties.

In the winter of this year, Guo Shrimp Toad and Gongzhou Marshal Tian Rui captured Huizhou. Guo Shrimp Toad led 500 cavalry, wearing red clothes, from the Nanshan Mountain in Huizhou, the Western Xia army rushed to the battle, looking up at them and mistakenly thinking that they were divine generals. There were soldiers in the city who raised their hands behind the wind version, but they were shot by a shrimp toad with an arrow, and their hands and plates were pierced, and hundreds of people were killed. The Western Xia army was frightened, so they surrendered. Huizhou was occupied by Western Xia for nearly four years before it was recovered.

In the first year of Zhengda (1224), Tian Rui rebelled against Jin according to Gongzhou. Jin Aizong edicted the two provinces of Shaanxi to jointly crusade against him. Guo Shrimp Toad led the soldiers to climb the city wall first and attack Gongzhou. Tian Rui opened the door and fled, and was killed by his younger brother Tian Ji. In this battle, Guo Shrimp Toad beheaded more than 5,000 levels, because of his military merits, he was awarded the Zhifeng Xiang Mansion, the Governor of the Soldiers and Horses of the Road, and the Marshal Zuo Supervisor and Xinglan, Hui, Tao, and River Marshal Mansion.

In September of the sixth year of Zhengda (1229), Guo Shrimp Toad presented two Xixia horses to Jin Aizong, and Jin Aizong issued an edict saying: "Your martial arts are superb, these two horses can gallop on the battlefield with you, and I will waste them if I ride them." Since it has been sacrificed, even if it is in royal captivity, I will give it to you. "He also gave many precious things such as the golden tripod and the jade rabbit falcon.

In the second year of Tianxing (1232), Kaifeng ran out of grain, and the reinforcements were not coming, and the generals were scarce. The Mongol army could besiege the city at any time. Jin Aizong abandoned Kaifeng and fled to Guide (now Shangqiu, Henan), and the following year moved from Guide to Caizhou (now Runan, Henan). After arriving in Caizhou, Jin Aizong felt that Caizhou was located on the Rushui River, a tributary of the Huaishui River, bordering the Song Dynasty in the south, and there was no danger to defend. He also planned to move to Gongchang Mansion (i.e., Gongzhou) and complete the exhibition as the Gongchang Palace.

In the first month of the spring of the third year of Tianxing (1234), Sticky Ge Wanzhan heard that Caizhou had been breached, and in order to calm the army's heart, he led the people to defend the city to wait for the new emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and sent people to pretend to be envoys from Caizhou, saying that there was a holy decree. Wang Shixian, the commander of Suidezhou, also knew that the city of Caizhou was broken, and Jin Aizong committed suicide and martyrdom. Wang Shixian has always resented the suppression of himself by sticking to Ge Wanzhan, and wanted to falsely pass on the holy decree and send troops to attack Gongchang. But he was afraid of the prestige of the shrimp toad, so he sent people to ask the shrimp and toad to attack Gongchang. When the messenger arrived, Guo Shrimp Toad said to him: "Gong Sticky Ge is a province with an edict, and whoever dares to disobey the order."

Now living in Caizhou, he plans to move to Gongchang. When the country is in danger, since we can't go to the aid of death, and we can't lead the crowd to welcome us, we want to attack the Duke of Sticky Ge, and first abolish the place where the Lord will move to the fortunate place. Where will the Lord go? If your boss wants to turn his back on the country, let him do it himself, so why add me? So Wang Shixian led his troops to break through Gongchang, robbed and killed Sticky Ge, surrendered the Mongolian army and sent more than 20 envoys to persuade Guo Shrimp to surrender, but they were all refused.

After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, all the western state capitals surrendered to Mongolia, and only Guo Shrimp Toad held on to the lonely city for nearly three years.

In October of the eighth year of the Mongol Ögedai Khan (1236), the Mongol army attacked the city. Shrimp Toad felt that the city would not be secured, but still determined to fight to the end, all the gold, silver, copper and iron in Jizhou were mixed into cannons to fight back against the Mongol army, and killed cattle and horses to comfort the soldiers, burned his own house and savings, in order to show his determination to die, saying: "Don't stay for the Mongol army." "Bloody battles day and night, desperate resistance. The Mongols were also unable to break through the city quickly. The number of casualties among the sergeants increased, and the city was about to be destroyed. Guo ordered people to pile up firewood and grass at the state government office, gather his family and the wife and daughter of the city general, lock them in a room, and prepare to burn them himself.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and Guo Shrimp Toad led the soldiers to draw their bows in front of the fire and wait for the Mongol army to attack. When the city was breached, the Mongols swarmed and fought for a long time, and when some of the soldiers were exhausted, they jumped into the fire. The shrimp and toad stood on the haystack, covered with a door panel, and shot two or three hundred arrows, and when the arrows were finished, they threw their bows and arrows into the fire and burned themselves to death. No one in the city surrendered. When Guo Shrimp Toad was martyred, he was only 45 years old, and the local people set up a shrine to commemorate him. The former site of Jingyuan City God Temple is the former site of the ancestral hall, and the city god in the temple is Guo Shrimp Toad.

The city where Guo Toad died in the last battle is now called "Guo Toad City", and the ruins of the ancient city of Guo Toad are in Xinbaozi, Guochengyi Town, Huining

The ruins of the ancient city are composed of an inner city and two outer cities, there are three moats, according to the measurement of the relevant units, the ruins of the south city of the inner city are 360 meters long, the ruins of the north city are 172 meters long, the east city wall is 444 meters long, and half of the west city has long been washed away by the Zuli River.

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

Hao Jing: "If you don't aid Western Xia and abandon Yandu, the roots are sparse." Not all Chang'an is Bianliang, for the love of the green house can be long. Longshang Haoshan Shanxi general, worried about the country speechless melancholy. Zhongxing does not live in the land of force, what hope do the monarchs and ministers have? Guo Gong is loyal and brave, and he refuses to protect Qin Gong in Taohe. In the past few years, it has been necessary to build a bank, and Jincheng is firmly Huayue. Who knows that he reports that he is a small pass, and he always relies on Tongguan to guard his misfortune! Hun will Liang Song as a turtle, and he will look at Qin Liang and other Wu Yue. Xizhou is becoming more and more lonely and enemies, and the suburbs are all enemies? The general was particularly strong in battle, and his head was bloodied. The wilderness began to take the city, and the city collapsed to receive short soldiers.

first put his wife in the grass fence, and sat on the arrow to fight to the death. The arrowheads are like rain, but the enemy does not dare to care. The bow was shortlisted from the beginning of the immolation, and the flying arrow came out of the encirclement and burned the feathers. The Gray Flying City was exhausted, and the Xian Wang Ancestral Hall was called heroic. Wang Shi 100,000 dismounted and bowed, and the horsewhip was swaying. The Yellow River is full of bitter tears, and Longshan has no color since then. E'a General's Day, the name of the country is dying, and the heroic spirit is the star in the sky. Only when Runan was destroyed, but from the smoke and flames to the sky. The ministers set themselves on fire, and each has to die unheard of! ”

"Jin History": "The minister and the doctor occupy his position, eat his lu, the country is in trouble, those who are in the court die their officials, those who defend the county die in the city, those who govern the army and brigades die in battle, and the ministers of the market and grass fields die in anger, all of which are their place." Therefore, if you die as you deserve, you will have more than the living. ”

Legend has it that Guo Toad has three treasures: a sacred cow, a paper man and a paper horse, and a white dog. This sacred cow travels thousands of miles a day, walking fast like flying, and what is more amazing is that there is a swallow's nest on the tail of the sacred cow, one day, Guo Toad is not at home when he goes out, Guo Toad's sister said to his sister-in-law, you see how cumbersome it is to have a swallow's nest on the tail of our cow, it is better to take it, and the cow will definitely run faster. Say it, then take a sharp sword, cut down the swallow's nest, she knows there, the magic of this cow is just here, since the swallow's nest was cut, this sacred cow can no longer run, plus the cow was cut off the swallow's nest after the pain is unbearable, soon he walked out of the city, fell by the river and died, the sacred cow died after becoming a mountain, this is the cow near Guo Chengyi Lying Cow Mountain.

Once an enemy soldier comes to attack, as long as the arsenal is opened, the paper man and paper horse will rush out, killing the enemy until the enemy is unable to form an army, and fleeing from the wind. 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 Toad suffered for this and had no good solution, sullen, and then there was a Yunyou Taoist priest passing by here, telling Guo Toad that there was tung paint in the capital, as long as the tung paint was painted on the paper man and paper horse, it could be fought in the rain, Guo Toad was overjoyed when he heard this, so he set off to get paint in the capital, and repeatedly asked his wife before parting that no matter what happened, he could not open the Hyogo. Soon after Guo Toad left, the Mongolian army learned the news, knowing that there was no heavy garrison in the city, so they transferred 100,000 troops to besiege Huizhou City, Guo's wife was frightened to see this, and her husband's instructions before leaving were also forgotten, so she quickly opened the arsenal, and in a moment the paper man and paper horse set out together, but saw the flying sand and stones outside the city, the sky was dark, and the paper man and paper horse were like a broken bamboo, and the Mongolian army was like a mountain, and the blood flowed into a river, and it was embarrassed, and fled in a hurry.

But the enemy army has long fled, but the paper men and paper horses are still galloping back and forth, trampling on the fertile land and maiming the people. It turns out that Guo Toad's wife will only put it will not be accepted, these paper people and paper horses can not be recovered, can only continue to mutilate the people, just at this time, Guo Toad took the tung paint is rushing back, suddenly saw a white fog in the northwest direction, Guo Toad pinched his fingers to know the reason, in order to stop the paper man and paper horse from killing innocents indiscriminately, he immediately invited the Dragon King of the East China Sea, in the northwest direction of a downpour, poor these paper people and paper horses, how can they resist the heavy rain, for a time it was all destroyed outside the city, turned into a white expanse, just like alkaline land, so far, People still call it Alkali Beach.

Guo Toad's white dog is also extraordinary, if there is an enemy situation hundreds of miles away, the white dog will use an unusual bark to report to the owner that the white dog guards the arsenal, this time Guo Toad went to the capital to pick up the paint, the Mongolian army besieged the city, Guo Toad's wife put paper people and paper horses, the white dog was not allowed to enter outside the Hyogo, Guo Toad's wife was in a hurry, and sent the maid to bring a jar of locally produced sweet paste, the white dog was drunk like mud after eating, and was drunk until he was woken up by the heavy rain, and woke up to see that the Hyogo had been opened, and the paper people and paper horses were all gone, and the white dog knew that the big thing was not good, the faithful white dog blamed himself for being greedy and derelict in his duties, and when he saw his master, he died on the threshold.
