Yan Zhenqing is "clumsy at making trouble", but he knows how to make important things happen.
When he was appointed as the governor of Pingyuan, he discovered that Anlu Mountain had the intention of rebelling. While secretly reporting to the court, he secretly raised the city wall, dredged the moat, recruited strong men, and stored grain and grass. As a result, Anlu Mountain raised troops in Fan Yang. They passed by the prefectures and counties and went straight to Luoyang, the eastern capital, in just more than ten days. At this time, Yan Zhenqing raised the flag of rebellion for the first time in the plains and united 17 counties around Hebei to resist the rebels, disrupting the deployment of the rebels and alleviating the crisis in Chang'an. Yan Zhenqing did not attach himself to the powerful. As a veteran of the Four Dynasties, he was feared, framed, and excluded by powerful officials such as Yang Guozhong, Li Fuguo, Yuan Zai, and Lu Qi. In the end, he died for his country and became a model of loyalty.
