The yue family army's famous name in history is not the contribution of Yue Fei alone, and a large number of outstanding generals have emerged in the entire Yue family army, who have become the invincible central force of the Yue family army. Today we will introduce a representative figure in the Yue family army, he is Niu Boyuan, that is, Niu Gao.
Niu Gao was more than a dozen years older than Yue Fei, a veteran general who was originally an anti-Jin leader in Henan, who gathered a group of people to form an anti-Jin team in Henan and made many military achievements. By the time Niugao was 46 years old, he finally joined the Yue family army of his dreams and became Yue Fei's right and left arm. Niu Gao did not care about his official position in the army, and was a down-to-earth and trustworthy infantry commander. In a way, Niu Gao is a heroic figure who resembles Cheng Biting Jin.
It is said that Niugao was born poor, and when he was young, he cut firewood for a living, and his strength was very large, often carrying hundreds of pounds of firewood to the market to sell. While chopping firewood, Niu Gao also practiced a body of shooting and hunting skills, with great strength and skill, every time he came back from cutting firewood, he could bring some wild game to improve the family food. After jingkang's shame, Niugao also became a member of the local anti-Jin team, and in the Pingdingshan area, Niugao's team made Jin Bing feel frightened.
The merits on the battlefield also allowed Niugao to be valued by the Southern Song Dynasty court, and when Yue Fei marched into the Central Plains, Niugao also fulfilled his wish and became a member of the Yue family army. In the Yue family's army, Niu Gao's status was second only to Yue Fei's, and he was a deputy commander who was trusted by the whole army. However, after Yue Fei's death, the entire Yue family army was also inevitably in trouble.
NiuGao was hated by Qin Juniper because he insisted on Yue Fei's concept, so Hu Qinjun used the old way and poisoned Niugao with poisoned wine. The tomb of Niugao is now located on the Qixia Ridge of Hangzhou's West Lake and is an important companion of Yue Fei's tomb. What do you think?
