"Song Dynasty Famous Generals Series No. 48 Yang Si"
Speaking of the General Yang surnamed Yang of the Song Dynasty, needless to say, it must refer to the Yang family general who is famous in Greater China. However, although there was a famous general in the Song Dynasty who was also surnamed Yang, and was even used as the prototype of Yang Qilang, the general of the Yang family, but the family really had nothing to do with the Yang family general half a cent.
This general surnamed Yang was Yang Si.
Yang Si was a very famous warrior at that time, and he fought together with Yang Liulang Yang Yanzhao, and his merits were outstanding. Perhaps because of this, the rendition will use him as the material for Yang Qilang.
But then again, Yang Si's age is much older than Yang Yanzhao, 24 years older, it is considered to be a father,Although the two heroes cherish each other and form a year-old friendship, but in the end Yang Si became a younger brother, and his heart ached for three seconds.
Yang Si joined the army in his early years and has been stationed in Zhizhou and other places similar to the Liao state. Seriously, this place is really not a good job, not to mention the economic backwardness without oil and water, just the Liao people repeatedly come to rob it is a headache. Since the Liao people occupied youyun Sixteen Prefectures, their cavalry could spread joy just like they did on the racecourse, and the Song army, which was already too weak to do it, naturally selectively ignored it, you grab it, I don't care.
After Yang Si took office, when he saw this situation, he immediately became angry, is this okay? So he began to train his cavalry on a large scale, while at the same time implementing the routine of roundabout guerrilla warfare, using cavalry against cavalry. Not to mention, this move really worked, once allowing the Liao army to lose soldiers and horses, so that in the end it did not dare to rush over to grab things.
However, the moment when Yang Si really reached the peak was to count the "Second Yang Retreat" of Xianping's three years. Eryang needless to say, naturally it is Yang Yanzhao and Yang Si.
At that time, the Liao army used the strength of the whole country to go south, conquering several cities in the north in a row, and the Court of the Great Song Dynasty immediately exploded the pot. At this critical time, it is still Eryang who comes out to support the field.
In the face of the menacing enemy army, Yang Yanzhao took advantage of the fact that his foothold was unstable, designed an ambush circle, and arranged a number of ambushes, so that the Liao army jumped inside and was beaten. Relying on the superior strength of the Liao people, they were very cooperative in the ambush, leaving more than 10,000 corpses and slipping away.
If they were to leave like this, they would definitely have to make a comeback in a few days, so it was Yang Si's turn to get out again. Instead of leaving behind troubles, it is better to kill you all at once, saving time and effort.
At that time, Baozhou, where Yang Si was stationed, was the only way for the Liao army to retreat, so he had already prepared wine and vegetables for the Liao brothers to "pick up the wind and wash the dust", and Bao Guan threw you back to your hometown.
However, behind every heroic figure there are always several negative teaching materials, and the negative teaching materials here are Fu Qian, Yang Si's superior. Although Fu Qian nominally sent two of his henchmen, Shi Pu and Tian Shaobin, to assist in the battle, he actually controlled Yang Si and tried not to let him send troops, saving himself from wasting his own resources. Tell me how hateful this kind of person is!
However, when the Liao army really arrived, Yang Si had already made up his mind to fight a battle, and he must not let the Liao people leave comfortably. He also made a generous statement to Shi and Tian: "Two brothers, what time is it, how can you instigate it!"
The result really persuaded Shi Pu, and the two led the troops to kill. This fight was fought from morning to night, and the two men had limited troops and fought very hard. However, fortunately, Tian Shaobin also suddenly opened his head, his conscience was discovered, and then he led his troops to support them, and the three of them joined forces to attack back and forth, instantly confusing the Liao people. The Liao army, which was already demoralized, completely lost its fighting spirit, and once again left thousands of corpses and fled in a hurry.
Yang Yanzhao and Yang Si dealt a fatal blow to the Liao state one after the other, and really wanted their old lives, and for a time they could no longer take out troops for a large-scale invasion. The duo also became famous for this. Later, they entered the DPRK together to receive rewards, met each other for the first time, and became a year-old friend. However, this was also the only time they met.
Since then, the two have each defended the side, and both are known for their outstanding achievements. The "History of Song" once commented: "Si and Yan Zhao lived in the north for a long time, and they had a good reputation for war. ”
In the seventh year of the reign of Dazhong Xiangfu (1014), the two died one after another. Although they are not born at the same time, they can die at the same time, which is also a fate.
