As a result, the Liao army went south, and Jing Yanguang, who was the general of and the Later Jin , was so scared that he did not dare to fight.

At that time, it was the chaotic times of the late Tang Dynasty and the feudal states were fighting in a melee. In order to survive in the chaotic times, Jing Yanguang's father Jing Jian practiced a good archery technique and warned his son: "If you can't shoot an arrow into the iron, it's better not to shoot."
Jing Yanguang heard this, so he practiced arrows hard, and when he grew up, he practiced a good archery technique, and became famous for being able to pull strong bows and hard crossbows.
post-Liao Shaowang Zhu Youhui guarded Shaanxi Province. He heard that Jing Yanguang was good at shooting, so he recruited him to serve under his command. In the fourth year of Zhenming (921), Zhu Youhui's elder brother, King Hui, Zhu Youneng, raised an army to rebel, but was defeated and arrested. Zhu Youhui was then implicated and imprisoned by the last emperor of Liang. Jing Yanguang was worried that he would be implicated, so he ran away early and escaped.
Jing Yan fled to Guangxi Huazhou and defected to Yin Hao, the governor of the Reform Army, and was appointed as the captain by him. In the third year of Longde (923), Jing Yanguang followed the general Wang Yanzhang to resist Later Tang .

2, played for the Later Tang
After Jing Yanguang escaped back to Bianliang, he recovered carefully. After recovering from his illness, he surrendered to Zhu Shouyin, a general of the Later Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Tiancheng (927), Zhu Shouyin, the governor of Xuanwu Jie, rebelled because of suspicion of Emperor Mingzong of Tang, and was defeated and killed. Jing Yanguang was then implicated and was about to be executed. But Shi Jingtang, the deputy envoy of the Sixth Army who was responsible for the execution, cherished Jing Yanguang's martial arts, so he secretly let him escape and then took him under his command.
In the third year of Qingtai (936), Shi Jingtang raised an army to rebel because he was suspicious of the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, so he was trapped in Taiyuan by the Tang general Zhang Jingda . Seeing that the situation was critical, Shi Jingtang asked Jing Yanguang to be responsible for defending the city. In the end, Shi Jingtang defeated the Tang army with the support of Emperor Taizong of Liao, destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty and established the Later Jin Dynasty. Because Jing Yanguang was awarded the title of Commander of the Infantry Commander and Situ, because he was the Minister of the Infantry Army and the Chief of the Secretariat of the Secretariat for helping Shi Jingtang seize the throne.
3, and after serving in the fourth year of Jin
Tianfu (in 939), Jing Yanguang was appointed as the governor of Yicheng Army and guarded Huazhou . After that, Jing Yanguang went out to town all over the country to consolidate his rule over the local area for Shi Jingtang. In the seventh year of Tianfu (942), Shi Jingtang was critically ill, and his deathbed Jing Yanguang and Prime Minister Feng Dao assisted Prince Shi Chongrui ascended the throne. But the two thought that Shi Chongrui could not govern the country at a young age, so they changed their older emperor nephew, Shi Chonggui, to be the emperor, and Jin was born.
After Jin came out of the throne, Jing Yanguang was promoted to prime minister because of his merit of support, so he took the credit and did not take all officials seriously. Previously, Emperor Taizong of Liao helped Shi Jingtang to seize the throne and was respected as his adoptive father, so the Later Jin Dynasty praised Liao as a magistrate. At this time, Jing Yanguang felt that it would be a humiliation to the great Jin Dynasty, so he urged the emperor of Jin to call Emperor Taizong of Liao and not to call Emperor Taizong of Liao.
Yan Guang then ordered Khitan to return to China to Qiao Rong to tell King Rong: "The former emperor was established by Northern dynasty. Now China is the only one who is a neighbor or a grandson, and there is no reason for a minister." And he said: "History of Jin Dynasty has 100,000 swords, if you want to fight, you will come early, and you will not be able to stop your grandson in the future, and you will make fun of the world and regret it." (Old History of the Five Dynasties ·Biography of Jing Yan)
District Emperor Taizong was very dissatisfied with this, so he sent an envoy to ask Jin to leave the emperor. Jing Yanguang then replied to Liao envoy Qiao Rong, "The late emperor was established by the people of Liao, but we are the ones who are now supported by ourselves. Jin can be neighbors and grandsons with Liao, but there is no reason to be surrendered."
Then Jing Yanguang felt that this statement was not enough to shock the Liao people, so he said to Qiao Rong again: "The Great Jin Dynasty has 100,000 sharp swords. Liao mainly came earlier if he wanted to start a war. If he lost to the future, he would be ridiculed by the world and it would be too late to regret it. "
Qiao Rong was worried that Jing Yanguang would change his words in the future, so he lied to him that he had a bad memory and hoped that he would write it down by himself and memorize it well and tell the Lord of Liao. Jing Yanguang heard it, but he did not suspect that he was cheating, so he wrote it down by himself to Qiao Rong. Then Qiao Rong hid the letter in his sleeve and secretly took it back and handed it to Emperor Taizong of Liao.
4, saying that he was crazy about the country
0 Liao Taizong was very angry at what Jing Yanguang said, so he sent troops south to start a war with the Later Jin. In the ninth year of Tianfu (944), the Liao army captured Ganling and seized all the savings of Later Jin in Hebei. The emperor of Jin was very scared, so he led his army to fight in person under Jing Yanguang's persuasion and arrived at the Yellow River Tanzhou on the shore.
Pioneer Shi Gongba met the enemy in Qicheng, Gao Xingzhou , Fu Yanqing few soldiers could not be rescued, and he rushed to rush Yan Guang to revive the troops, and Yan Guang held the troops unmoved. The three generals were surrounded several times, and the emperor rescued them from the emperor. The three generals were all crying... At that time, all the generals fought hard, but Yan Guang never saw the enemy. (New History of the Five Dynasties·Biography of Jing Yan Guang)
The emperor of Jin thought that since Jing Yan Guang dared to publicly provoke Liao, he must have a plan to retreat to the enemy, so he appointed him as the general and restrained the Jin army. However, Jing Yan Guang was strong outside and the middle, and angrily scolded the Liao envoy just to show his reputation, but in his heart Very afraid of the Liao people.
Emperor Taizong of Liao heard that Jing Yanguang came, so he sent people to challenge the city of Tanzhou. Jing Yanguang therefore insisted on not fighting. Even if the Jin army outside the city was surrounded by the Liao army and sent people to ask for help from Jing Yanguang, he chose to hold on. Finally, the Emperor of Jin personally led his troops out of the city to rescue him, so he rescued the trapped Gao Xingzhou, Fu Yanqing and others. When the officials of the Later Jin Dynasty saw him, they secretly ridiculed Jing Yanguang for cowardice and incompetence.
Later, the Liao army had not been able to attack Tanzhou for a long time, so they had to withdraw their troops. The Emperor of Jin realized that Jing Yanguang was a good example and was useless, so he demoted him to Luoyang . Jing Yanguang was depressed and unsuccessful, so he was also depressed. Realizing that he was incompetent, he indulged in alcohol and sex and stopped inquiries about the government.
In the third year of Kaiyun (946), the Liao army marched south and headed straight to Bianliang. The emperor of Jin ordered Jing Yanguang to enter Mengjin to strictly prevent the Liao army from crossing the river. Soon, Emperor Taizong of Liao destroyed the Later Jin, captured Jin Shuhuang, and sent troops to attack Luoyang, capturing Jing Yanguang alive.
Liaotai When Zong saw Jing Yanguang, he accused him of destroying the relationship between Liao and Jin. Jing Yanguang then denied it, saying that he had never said those words. As a result, Qiao Rong took out the letter written by Jing Yanguang himself, and he stopped denying it. Then Emperor Taizong of Liao ordered people to torture Jing Yanguang, which would have torture him to death. Later, Emperor Taizong of Liao sent people to escort Jing Yanguang back to Liao, but he was afraid of being tortured again, so he committed suicide while the guards were not paying attention.
