Biography

姚兕,五原人。
宋史卷三百四十九 列传第一百八:
  姚兕,字武之,五原人。父宝,战死定川,兕补右班殿直,为环庆巡检。与夏人战,一矢毙其酋,众溃,因乘之,遂破兰浪。敌大举寇边,诸砦皆受围。兕时驻荔原堡,先羌未至,据险张疑兵,伺便辄出。有悍酋临阵甚武,兕前射中其目,斩首还,一军欢呼。明日,来攻益急,兕手射数百人,裂指流血。又遣子雄引壮骑驰掩其后,所向必克。敌度不可破,乃退攻大顺城。兕复往救,转斗三日,凡斩级数千,卒全二城。庆军叛,兕以亲兵守西关,盗众不得入而奔。兕追及,下马与语,皆感泣罗拜,誓无复为乱。
  神宗闻其名,召入觐,试以骑射,屡中的,赐银枪、袍带。迁为路都监,徙鄜延、泾原。从攻河州,飞矢贯耳,战益力。河州既得,又为鬼章所围,兕曰:"解围之法,当攻其所必救。"乃往击陇宗,围遂解。累迁皇城使,进钤辖。从攻交阯有功,领雅州刺史。破乞弟,领忠州团练使,进副总管,迁东上阁门使,徙熙河。与种谊合兵讨鬼章于洮州,破六逋宗城,夜断浮桥,援兵不得度,遂擒鬼章。真拜通州团练使。卒于鄜延总管,赠忠州防御使。
  兕幼失父,事母孝,凡图画器用,皆刻"仇雠未报"字。力学兵法,老不废书,尤喜颜真卿翰墨,曰:"吾慕其人耳。"弟麟,亦有威名,关中号"二姚"。子雄、古。
