In 980, when 100,000 Liao soldiers were at Yanmen Pass, Yang Ye led thousands of people to defend the city, because the number was too small, Yang Ye could only choose to lead a pair of elite soldiers to raid the enemy's back, and achieved great results in defeating the Liao army in one fell swoop. In 986, Emperor Taizong marched north, and Yang Ye became the commander of the Western Army, but because of the defeat of the Eastern Army, Yang Ye had to retreat, but encountered the main force of the Liao Army on the way back, and finally died in the Battle of Chenjiagu.
