What's wrong with Yan Zhenqing's character? How heroic was his death?

During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan served as our envoy in Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, commanding the largest army in the world at that time. He led the rebellion, defeated many countries, and Hebei was captured. Li Longji lamented that there were no loyal ministers in twenty-four counties in Hebei. In fact, behind enemy lines, Pingyuan County, where Yan Zhenqing was the county magistrate, defended well, and recruited officers and men from some nearby counties to persist in the war of resistance. After the Anshi Rebellion captured Luoyang, they killed three important military and political officials.

And sent their leaders to the Hebei Military Region to intimidate and intimidate the rebels. Yan Zhenqing was worried that someone would be afraid, so he said it in public. The avatar is fake, not the avatar of three leaders. Weave straw into human form in private and establish the spirit of worship. Because I was not in the mood to wipe the martyr's head with a cloth, I licked the blood with my tongue and buried it in the grass. After the unification of seventeen counties in Hebei, Yan Zhenqing was promoted to the head of the anti-Japanese troops. At most, he led 200,000 troops to fight against rebels such as An Lushan and Shi Siming, and became Zhao Yan's steel knife. Yan Zhenqing made great contributions to the rectification of the Tang Dynasty and the revival of the dynasty.

Li Bai and Du Fu, who also experienced the Anshi Rebellion, did nothing at that time. Twenty years after the Anshi Rebellion was put down, another man named Li Xilie rebelled. At the age of 76, Yan Zhenqing was sent to the enemy camp to read letters. At that time, everyone felt jumpy, which was incredible. It may be "the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong men go and never return." Just arrived at the rebel camp, more than 1000 people surrounded and threatened to abuse, and Yan Zhenqing calmly responded. The rebels arranged a troupe to insult the court,

Yan Zhenqing is gone. The rebels dug a ten-foot-square hole and threatened to bury Yan Zhenqing alive. Then they piled sticks, lit a fire and threatened to burn you if you didn't surrender. Without saying a word, Yan Zhenqing jumped into the fire and was pulled out by the rebels. Before he died, the old hero calmly wrote a will, epitaph and eulogy for the emperor. Yan Zhenqing's artistic achievements are embodied in his calligraphy. This is Yan Zhenqing and Zhao Meng? Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and Ou Yangxun's fourth regular script Liu Gongquan are called "Yan Gu". Scholars in China and many Asian countries started from Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan. Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrifice for Nephew", "Sacrifice for Uncle" and "Compete for Position" are collectively called "three drafts", which are of great value in the history of calligraphy.
