Speaking of the General Bridge of Guangyuan City, no one knows, no one knows. But when asked why it was a Tseung Kwan Bridge, many people were confused and couldn't tell why.

General Bridge, located at the north gate of the old city of Lizhou District, Guangyuan City, is a must -have place where ancient Shu Road entered and exited Sichuan. Now this is Tonglu Street. Where is the shadow of the bridge? In fact, many people don't know that the reason why this place is named "General Bridge" is to commemorate the famous anti -Mongolian general Cao Youwen in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Cao Youwen, the word Yun, a native of Li Ting (now Hui County, Gansu). The twelfth grandson of the famous general Cao Bin in the early Song Dynasty was famous for loyalty. When he was a young age, he set up a great ambition to defend his country. In the second year of Baoqing (1226 AD), Cao You heard that he was a jinteller and was granted the post of Wei Zhu County. On the occasion of the appointment, Genghis Khan led his troops to besiege the ZTE of the Xixia capital, and at the same time sent a army to enter the Southern Song Dynasty. He won the State (now Gansu Wudu East) and surrounded the Tianshui Army.

At this time, Cao Youwen had not yet arrived. Whether the Tianshui Army lost had no relationship with him, not to mention a civilian, he could return completely. However, Cao Youwen was unsatisfactory, and resolutely broke into the military city with a resolute shot and organized soldiers and civilians with Zhang Wei, the general of the city. Fortunately, it wasn't long before Genghis Khan died of illness in Liupan Mountain. The Mongolian army retreated, and the military city saved. In the Sichuan Repair Division to recognize Cao Youwen's achievements, he specially embroidered him with a "bold" banner.

In July 1230, the Mongolian Army devoted himself to the Sichuan -Shaanxi land and attempted to invade the Shu Land again. Because the establishment of Lizhou Road at that time made Gui Ruyuan fear the enemy, regardless of the Sichuan -Shaanxi defense line, "the three levels as the portal, five of the five, five, five, five, five, five. "State is a barriers" as the foundation, and the decision to abandon the five states (Chengzhou, Fengzhou, Tianshui Army, Jiezhou, Xihezhou), Bao Sanguan (Fairy Pass, Qifangguan, Wuxiuguan) As a result, the people outside Sanguan were tragic. In this battle, most of the Song Jun generals abandoned the ground. Only Cao Youwen sent his family wealth to recruit 5,000 loyal people, and this would not be able to defend the Tianshui Army. Afterwards, the Sichuan Repair Division saw that Cao You was not only bold, but also had a talent, so he asked him to guard the Qifangguan (now northeast of Kang County, Gansu Province). Since the first year of the first year (1234 AD), the Mongolian army has repeatedly committed Shaanxi's Taurus and Da'an area. Cao Youwen and his brother Cao Youwan vowed to fight. In 1235 AD, Mongolian Khanwo Kuotai launched the first invasion of the Song Dynasty, and the West Army was close to Sichuan. In December of this year, the Mongolian army captured the state (now Mianxian County, Shaanxi Province), which was close to Da'an. Cao Youwen led the soldiers to defend the immortal Guan (now southeast of Huixian County, Gansu Province). We can't easily meet. It is best to stay with high -ranking danger. Then we will be strange, and after ambush, we can vowed to coexist with the position. "

Cao Youwen's dispatch department will quickly go to the Cock Crown (now under the Cocky Guanshan of Yangpingguan in Shaanxi Province) and Yang Ping Guan. As soon as the deployment was settled, the Mongolian army tens of thousands of tens of thousands of to Yangpingguan, and Cao Youwen immediately ordered to attack the enemy. He was the first soldiers, the pro -handsome and the soldiers (that is, the pro -soldiers) rushed to the battle, and Mercedes -Benz fired the enemy soldiers. Yang Pingguan was temporarily kept, and Cao Youwen was also expected: "The enemy must return to the soldiers to attack the chicken crown, and we should step up the reinforcement." Later Cao Youwen Lingqi rode straight to the left and right to attack. On the battlefield for more than 10 miles long, the sound of killing was shocking.

In the spring of the three years of Song Lizong's Duanping (1236 AD), the Mongolian army invaded south again, attacking Lizhou in one fell swoop, and then entered Aoyanhara (now south of Huixian County, Gansu). Song Jun was trapped and requested the rescue soldiers to siege. Cao You heard the news, and the convening department would say, "Aoyano was the throat of Shu, and it was not mild." The emergency brother Cao Youwan led the army from the cold water to the Jialing River, to six strains, and took the path straight to Aoyahara. Cao Youwen led the soldiers to arrive, attacking the army internally and outside, and repelled the Mongolian army's south invasion.

At the end of this battle, Cao Youwen was more prominent. The court sealed him as a defense of Meizhou. He still served as a general of Zuo Xiao and the former system of Lizhou. Affairs to control the Hanzhong soldiers and horses of Xingyuan Mansion. His brother Cao Youwan was awarded in Tongqing Prefecture. He is stationed in Huangzhengguan in Chengzhou, and is responsible for the defense of outside Guanzhou and Lizhou.

In August of Duanping in August three years, Mongolian soldiers captured Xingyuan Mansion (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi), and wanted to rush to peace. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Yanna made Cao Youwen defend Da'an in order to retain Shu's throat. Cao Youwen wrote a letter to Zhao Yanna: "The danger of Duyang Shu, my heavy soldiers are here, the enemy has worries, and must not be able to surpass Puyang and enter Shu. The terrain is flat, and there is no danger to defend. It happens to play the director of the enemy cavalry. Our army is infantry, and everyone is out of defense. "Zhao Yan na disagreed, seven times a day holding a small red card to urge rapid action a day to urge fast action to act quickly. Essence Cao Youwen believed that it was impossible to attack the crowd in the inside and outside of the night. So Cao Youwan and Cao Youliang led the chicken crown, with multiple flags, showing the Mongolian army's determination to adhere to the Song army. Cao Youwen chose the elite troops 10,000 people, crossed the Jialing River at night, and secretly ambushed to Liuxigou. When the enemy came in advance, when the enemy came, he took the drum and raised the fire as the number, shouted and killed to respond, and pinched the Mongolian army on both sides. On September 22, the Mongolian army came to commit crimes, and Cao Youwan rushed out of the battle. The enemy generals have more than 10,000 people, and they have a thousand people, and they have a thousand people. Cao Youwan was created, so he made the army raising fire. On September 27, Cao You heard the army fully welcomed, and he led 3,000 soldiers to rush to the chicken crown. Unexpectedly, Tiandong was not beautiful, and he had pouring rain on the way to march. The generals requested: "The rain is constantly rotten, and the mud is not enough, and the battle is fine." "Sui Xing soldiers entered together. Cao You heard the dragon's head, and Cao Youwan heard the five drums, that is, he rushed out of the chicken crown mouth and Cao You heard the meeting. Both internal and external armed forces were fighting, hitting the enemy forces, blood flow for twenty miles, and the Mongolian camp was broken by the Song Army. One, the corpse was piled up outside Yangpingguan. Xichuan's army, known as Mianqiu instead of iron armor.

In the early morning of the 28th, the enemy general Wang Shixian swarmed a large number of Mongolian Army and surrounded the Song Army with iron riders. Cao Youwen saw his hopeless breakout and sighed, "Is this destined to be God? I only die for the battle for the country!" So I scolded the enemy and killed the horses of my ride to show the determination of the country.

The Mongolian army's offensive became more and more fierce, and the bloody battle became more intense. During the battle, Cao Youwen and his brother Cao Youwan rushed to the right and killed countless enemies. In the end, he died unfortunately. Wang Shixian saw the heroine of the brothers of Cao, sighed, "General Shu Zhenyao too!" Sheng Li was buried. After Cao You heard the war, there was no other part of Shu in Shu in the troops that could fight the field. The Mongolian army went deep into Sichuan with the 500,000 army, and after the 54th state, it evacuated by itself. This was related to the adoption strategy of a strong Mongolian army at the time of the Southern Song Dynasty facing the powerful Mongolian army.

Cao Youwen led the departments to fight the Mongolian army, mainly in the vast area of the binding part of the Sichuan -Shaanxi -Gansu provinces. He quoted his own self -reliance and fought fiercely with the Mongolian army who was known as "riding invincible" within ten years, and he had almost no defeat. Cao You Wen Ying Ying's fight against and died of blood, shocked the Southern Song Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty Liu Linrui had a poem:

Yanta is famous for Fragrant Ben.

Yuan Rong has the enemy in the world.

Huashi Gorge is loyal and brave, and has died in the buffalo.

Who is the British style? Thousands of people call it the eldest husband.

Besides that "General Bridge". According to legend, Cao Youwen, then the army of the Royal Army of Lizhou Road in the Southern Song Dynasty, saw that the North Gate Creek in Lizhou City was turbulent, and the military and civilians were extremely inconvenient. Especially when the flood broke out, it was impossible to pass. He organized a general to cut the trees and set up a wooden bridge to facilitate military and civilians.

After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the wooden bridge continued to use, and the people of Lizhou called Cao You's merits, and called the bridge called "General Bridge". When the situation moved, the wooden bridge was gradually tattered and could not pass. The local people spontaneously funded the construction of a single -hole stone arch bridge, and a Cao Youwen stone statue was erected on the bridge head, which still called the bridge as the General Bridge. Ming Jiajing's "Bao Ning Fu Zhi" recorded in the afterglow of Guangyuan: "In the four north of the county, the cross -post road Hengxi, every water is weird, and the past people chipped the stone.

In the tenth year of the Ming Hongwu (1337 AD), the court presented the Construction of Zongzhong Temple in Chaotianguan, and the scholar anti -Mongolian generals, and Zhiming Qianqiu. On June 8th of the lunar calendar, the "Zhanzhong Temple" God Society Day. The Zongzhong Temple is the first government temple in the history of Chaotian. There is a pair of couplets on the door of the ancestral temple: "Qi Zhuangshan and River, named bamboo, jumping horses to kill the prisoners; hate the history, be in the scent, and tears and crying." I involuntarily wrote the poem "Cao You Wen Temple":

The dust of the ground is coming, and the banner of the wind and rain moves Guanhe.

The deserted forest did not discern the general tree, and the Guling Air Chuanzhi song.

Someone smelled the iron horse late at night, and there was nothing wrong with the sun.

The hero of the Xiaosa of the Empty River flowed into the rock and resentful.

Cao Youwen was a national hero who defended the interests of the Han nationality after the Southern Song Dynasty. Brother Cao Youwen donated his body to fight against Mongolia, and was honored and respected by the Guangyuan people of all ages.

General Cao Youwen's cemetery was on the earthen slope of 200 meters north. In order to commemorate the general, a general temple was built by the Tulu. There was a cypress tree in front of the temple, and a sword that the general had used by the generals all year round. Until now, the descendants of the general come here to worship from Huixian County, Gansu.

In the 1990s, Guangyuan University engaged in transportation construction, demolished the stone arch bridge, changed the stream to a dark gap, and built a large turntable of 100 meters in diameter, which became the terminal of multiple bus buses.Later, the expansion of General Bridge Elementary School, relocated the tomb of the general, demolished the general temple, and cut the ancient cypress tree. Everything was no longer the scene.Now it has become the General Bridge community.The history of more than 770 years is fleeting.The name of the General Bridge was inherited for generations. General Cao Youwen's immortal name was always in mind in the hearts of Guangyuan people.
