Yan Liang was a general under Yuan Shao at the end of the Han Dynasty. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he defeated Xu Huang in 20 rounds. You must know that Xu Huang is one of the five good generals, and he once fought Xu Chu in 50 rounds without a win. Negative, so Yan Liang's force value is at least slightly higher than Xu Chu's, and he is a veritable fierce general. It is reasonable for him to be at least in the top 6 in the ranking of Three Kingdoms generals.
In official history, Yan Liang never challenged Xu Huang in a duel, but Kong Rong commented that he "bravely championed the three armies", which shows his bravery. However, compared with Guan Yu, he was still a little behind, and he was stabbed to death by Guan Yu among the thousands of troops.
After Yan Liang's death, his descendants believed that if you were not good at optical martial arts, you should study more. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the famous educator Yan Zhitui warned his children and grandchildren in the "Yan Family Instructions": There was Yan Zhuoju in Qi, Yan Zui in Zhao, Yan Liang in the late Han Dynasty, and Yan Yanzhi in the Song Dynasty. They were both appointed as generals, but they were overturned.
He believed that just because they learned martial arts, these people became reckless and failed and were killed, so they must study more. During the Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing was a descendant of Yan Zitui. He was not only a great calligrapher and good at "Yan style" writing, but he was also a general who led the army in war.
During the Anshi Rebellion, most of the counties and counties in Hebei were captured by the rebels. Only Pingyuan City, where Yan Zhenqing was located, was tightly defended. When Xuanzongchu first heard about An Lushan's rebellion, he said bitterly: "Among the twenty-four counties in Hebei Province, there is not a single loyal minister?" After learning that Yan Zhenqing was guarding Pingyuan, he said happily: "I don't understand Yan Zhenqing's character. , But what he did was great!"
However, his brother and nephew were killed because of fighting against the Anlushan rebels. Yan Zhenqing was so heartbroken that he wrote the second line in the world "Sacrifice to Nephew" Manuscript".
In the end, Yan Zhenqing was killed by a treacherous minister because of his loyalty. The three armies cried bitterly for him. The emperor dismissed the court for three days in his honor, and posthumously gave him Situ, the posthumous title of Wenzhong, and countless money and food.
Later, in order to commemorate this great loyal minister, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty named Yan Zhenqing a "loyal martyr" and respected him as a god. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Yan family flourished, with more than 100,000 people according to statistics.
In 1603 AD, one of the descendants of the Yan family named Yan Siqi fled to Japan for killing an official servant, and later moved to Taiwan Island. At that time, there was not much development in Taiwan, so he sent people to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian to recruit more than 3,000 immigrants and started Taiwan's earliest large-scale reclamation activities.
Because of his huge contribution, he was also regarded by the locals as the "King of Kaitai", which means the king of developing Taiwan. Yan Siqi was originally the leader of the local alliance and swore an oath with Zheng Zhilong and others. After his death, Zheng Zhilong took over and continued to develop Taiwan, and the legendary story of Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan was born.
