The Four Generals of Zhongxing refer to the four famous Nandu generals in the Southern Song Dynasty of China, and there are different sayings. According to one theory, the four generals refer to Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, and Liu Guangshi. This statement squeezed Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi out. Because in the kneeling statue of Yue Wang Temple by the West Lake, Qin Hui, Wang, Wan Qiao, and Zhang Jun kneel on the ground, with their hands back, kneeling on the ground, symbolizing the four traitorous ministers who persecuted Yue Fei to apologize to Jingzhong Yue Wumu. Later generations of visitors spit foam, urinate, and even molested the bronze statues of Wang. I felt angry and avenged the hero.

Zhang Jun is a traitor alongside Qin Hui, how can he be qualified to be one of the four generals of Zhongxing. If he entered, it would be an insult to the four generals of ZTE, so he simply squeezed him out.

And Liu Guangshi, who is too mediocre, has also been squeezed out.

Another theory is Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, and Han Shizhong, which comes from the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" painted by Liu Songnian in the Song Dynasty. The four generals all had princes, Yue Fei chased the king of Hu, Liu Guangshi chased the king of Yan, Han Shizhong chased the king of Qi, and Zhang Jun chased the king of Xun. There are also Liu Qi who replaced Liu Guangshi, which is more credible from the perspective of historical data.

The third theory was put forward by Zhang Ying, a historian of the Southern Song Dynasty, who included Yue Fei, Li Xianzhong, Liu Qi, and Wei Sheng in his book "The Biography of the Four Generals of Zhongxing in the Emperor and Song Dynasty", which was described as a simple military exploit.

Either way, Yue Fei is one of the four generals of Zhongxing, while Han Shizhong has a good character and a firm will to resist Jin, but Liu Guangshi is a little mediocre, Zhang Jun is a traitor, and most people in the world think that these two are a bit indiscriminate. Among them, when Liu Guangshi resisted Jin, most of them fled without a fight, tried to retreat without obeying the edict, and did not govern the army strictly. Needless to say, Zhang Jun assisted Qin Hui in implementing the begging policy, and conspired with Qin Hui to create an unjust case of Yue Fei's rebellion, resulting in Yue Fei being unjustly killed.

In his early years, Wu Jue had a lot of achievements in the war against the Western Xia. Later, he was sent to Shaanxi to lead the troops to resist the Jin, in the battle of Xianren Pass and the battle of the monk Yuan, he defeated the Jin Soldiers' Wushu Department, and the Jin soldiers attacked on the Shaanxi Road in Sichuan, so that the Jin people did not dare to peep into the land of Shaanxi. Together with his younger brother Wu Luan, he made great contributions to defending Qinlong and blocking Bashu.

Liu Qi also became famous in the victory of Shunchang, led 30,000 troops, successively defeated the 100,000 troops of the Jin Wushu twice, and broke the "Tiefutu" and "Kidnapping Horse" (cavalry army) of the Jin people, and the people built Liu Gong Temple to commemorate the victory of the anti-Jin army, and also to thank Liu Qi for the defeat of the Jin army, so that the people were saved from a catastrophe of the Jin soldiers, and built the Liu Gong Temple to commemorate.

In short, no matter which way it is said, the four famous generals of ZTE are very capable and awesome.

There are also the so-called thirteen military exploits of Zhongxing to commemorate.

In fact, when you dig deeper, it's nothing more than that.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the more famous generals mainly included Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Liu Qi, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi. Zong Ze, Li Gang, Yu Yunwen and others belonged to Wenchen, not military generals.

Wu Jue was the first Southern Song Dynasty general to inflict a crushing defeat on the Jin army, and his exploits are indelible. However, he had more than enough rules, but not enough to attack, and the two great victories of Monk Yuan and Xianren Pass were defensive battles, not offensive battles. Since the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134 AD), the battlefields of Sichuan and Shaanxi have been relatively silent. Wu Jue was obviously satisfied with his achievements, and failed to make a big move to recover the lost ground. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to make a big move, but he can't do it, and once something happens, it will be a big defeat. In the end, he died by taking Danshi and indulging in women.

Liu Qi's original status and prestige were not high, and the Battle of Shunchang made him famous in a war. The Battle of Shunchang was a defensive battle, and throughout Liu Qi's military career, only this battle was fought well. In the next eleven years of Shaoxing, the victory of Zhegao and the defeat of Haozhou were not as good as before. Twenty years later, King Jin Hailing invaded the south, Liu Qi was defeated in Huaidong, and his military reputation plummeted.

Han Shizhong is most famous for two battles in his life, one is the Battle of Huang Tiandang, with 8,000 sailors to intercept the Jin Dynasty army, which once made Wanyan Wushu (Zong Bi) quite embarrassed, reversing the decline of the Song army, but in the end it still ended in defeat; The second is the battle of Dayi Town, which was exaggerated by Zhao Xiong, who wrote the Shinto monument, and later historical legends as "the first in Zhongxing martial arts", but in fact it was just the vanguard of ambushing the Jin army's commander Nie Erqiao, killing hundreds of enemies. After that, Han Shizhong led the army to defend Huaidong for a long time, in addition to capturing Haizhou, repeatedly attacked the Huaiyang army, and was defeated when rescuing Haozhou, without great achievements at all.

Among the generals in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, only Yue Fei was an offensive general. Among the other generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Jue and Liu Qi were defensive generals, with more than enough rules and insufficient offense. Han Shizhong's will to resist Jin is very firm, but his military achievements are not only inferior to Yue Fei, but also inferior to Wu Jue and Liu Qi. Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun, the comments of later generations are mediocre generals and cowards who are pampered and afraid of the enemy.

There is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua is a pioneer.

Since the Song Dynasty, there has been no so-called general, famous general.

The so-called famous generals of Zhongxing are nothing more than exaggerated elements boasted by the people of the Song Dynasty. Compared with the famous generals of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, it is much worse than Zhang Gong, whether it is Zhang Gong or character, at most it is Liao Hua and the like, not as good as Wu Qi, Bai Qi, Meng Tian, Han Xin, Li Jing, Li Ji, etc.

And only Yue Fei is a famous general comparable to Han Xin, Li Jing, Qi Jiguang and others.

In other words, the so-called Zhongxing famous generals themselves exist to set off Yue Fei, and safflower also needs green leaves to foil.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and it is too good to die early.

This is also Yue Fei's tragedy.

…………

Liu Guangshi is also one of the four famous generals of ZTE.

At this time, Zhao Pu suddenly remembered that there really seemed to be this character.

Liu Guangshi has always been afraid of the Jin army, and whenever he was ordered to move to the front line, most of them tried to retreat without obeying the edict, and the army was not strictly governed. Liu Guangshi also often falsely reported the number of troops, took up more military expenses, and often did not go to the front line but sat in the rear during the battle, so that he could escape if necessary.

In the Huaixi Incident, although there were only more than 5,000 troops directly under Li Qiong, under his instigation, as many as 40,000 people defected to the puppet Qi in August of the same year. Liu Guangshi's camp left more than 52,000 people, only more than 8,000 people and sporadic troops under Wang De's department remained.

However, this product has always been in the role of playing soy sauce, there is no amazing record, no defeat, no intercession for Yue Fei like Han Shizhong, nor framing Yue Fei like Zhang Jun, and he lived a peaceful life to the end. The only stains are running away, cowardice, and greed for money.

"Liu Guangshi!" Zhao Pu chewed the words and said these three words.

A trace of doubt flashed in his heart, is Liu Guangshi really a waste, is it really soy sauce?

No!

Immediately, Zhao Pu shook his head, history is unreliable.

Later generations can point fingers and point out how many mistakes their predecessors have made, but they rarely care about the background of the times.

This is a troubled time, and being in a troubled time, it is not easy to live in itself.

In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog, human life is like a mustard, and if you die, you will die, and no one cares about your status. As a military general, you may be killed by the enemy, betrayed by your subordinates, killed by the king, framed to death by your colleagues, and if you die, you will die, and no one will cry out to you.

And Liu Guangshi, born in a military family in the northwest, is a typical second-generation military. There are many second-generation soldiers like him in the Northwest Army. However, he relied on his own means to become one of the four famous generals of Zhongxing, and ranked first among the eight kings (the seven anti-Jin generals in the Southern Song Dynasty were posthumously crowned as the seven kings. That is, Han Shizhong, the king of Qi, Liu Guangshi as the king of Yan, Zhang Jun as the king of Xun, Yue Fei as the king of E, Yang Yizhong as the king of He, Wu Jue as the king of Fu, and Wu Lu as the king of Xin).

The world said that he had falsely reported the number of troops, occupied more military expenses, corrupted military discipline, and plundered more. However, since the establishment of the Song army, military discipline is not good, and in the Taizu era, Wang Yu invaded Shu, burning, killing and looting continuously, causing chaos in Shu; When it came to the conquest of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the military discipline was not good, and when Jinling City was captured, there were many loots; When Taizong of the Song Dynasty attacked the Northern Han Dynasty, he burned Taiyuan City and used all the young women in Jinyang City as military prostitutes for the soldiers to play. And when Tong Guanping destroyed Fang La, he robbed Jiangnan of an empty space. The army of the Song Dynasty, from beginning to end, had bad military discipline. Some armies with good military discipline are exceptions.

The world said that he had always been afraid of the Jin army, and whenever he was ordered to move to the front line, most of them did not obey the edict and tried to retreat, and when he fought, he often did not go to the front line but sat in the rear so that he could escape if necessary, and called him the fleeing general. But in fact, when the Northern Song Dynasty fell and the Southern Song Dynasty was first established, there were too many generals who escaped, and he was not the first nor the last. There are many generals who have run away, but most of them have been captured alive or killed. And he was an exception, ran away, and survived to the end.

The world said that he was not strict in governing the army, and many rogues and rebels were willing to join his subordinates, becoming one of the largest armies at that time. You can look at the strong army of the Song Dynasty, most of them are exile army, most of them are rogue, the rebels surrendered, the Yuejia army is like this, the Han army is the same, and the same is true of several other strong armies. It's just that Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, etc., have strict management and have driven out some of the shortcomings of the exile army, while Liu Guangshi is still an official and bandit family.

In short, it can be said that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it can be said that his military discipline is corrupt, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he is wasteful or incompetent.

Among the many generals of the Song Dynasty, Wu Jue died of taking Danshi and indulging in women's sex; Yue Fei was executed on trumped-up charges; Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong participated in the framing of Yue Fei and left a stench for 10,000 years; Liu Qi had no military exploits except for the great victory in Shunchang; Han Shizhong had no hope of resisting gold, so he borrowed wine all day long to kill his sorrows, and died of grief.

And Liu Guangshi's life, there was no big defeat, no big victory, the will to resist Jin was not as good as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and the military command was also a third-rate level, nor did he take refuge in Qin Hui, framed Yue Fei, and left a stench for 10,000 years. Throughout his life, he was too mediocre, or too mediocre, but because he was too mediocre, he realized Mingze's self-preservation.

"Old fritters!" Finally, Zhao Pu commented.
