We often see the story of the Yang family general from some dramas or TV series, and every time we will be touched by their loyalty, but the Yang family generals in the Yang family and the female generals of the Yang family, and Mu Guiying are all fabricated stories, and the Yang family will not be like this in history.
As we all know, the Northern Song Dynasty was a faint and corrupt dynasty, and the imperial court emphasized literature over military force, so although the Yang family generals were loyal and loyal and had a high reputation in the military, their status in the imperial court was not high.
Yang Ye was in the post-Han Dynasty, following Liu Chong's body, and was highly valued by Liu Chong because of his superb martial arts.
However, later Song Taizu personally conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, and Yang Ye led his troops to fight against it, but he was not a rival of Song Taizu, and he retreated in successive defeats, and in order to repel Song Taizu, the Northern Han and Liao Dynasties joined forces to fight.
After the death of Song Taizu, the Northern Song Dynasty's crusade against the Northern Han Dynasty was not interrupted, and after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, Yang Ye surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, and was highly used by Song Taizong because of his martial arts and the speed of his use of troops.
After the Liao state launched an attack from Yanmen that year, Yang Ye made a great contribution, and was promoted by Song Taizong to the history of Yunzhou Observation, and this battle severely frustrated the Liao state, resulting in the later Liao state retreating without a fight as long as it saw Yang Ye.
At that time, many courtiers and frontier generals were quite jealous of Yang Ye, and had written to Song Taizong many times to slander Yang Ye, but they were ignored by Song Taizong.
Later, Emperor Taizong of Song sent troops to attack the Liao State, and Yang Ye was the deputy general of the Western Route Army, and after he won many battles and captured the four continents of the Liao State, Emperor Taizong of Song ordered Pan Mei Yang Ye to transfer the people of the four continents.
At that time, Yang Ye only had this one task, but the Liao state formed a 100,000-strong army to start a counterattack, and had already counterattacked Huanzhou, Yang Ye wanted to move the people first and not start a war with the Liao army, but Liu Wenyu had to fight head-on.
The main general Pan Mei was very jealous of Yang Ye and also agreed with Liu Wenluo's idea, but Yang Ye could only attack, and before leaving, he asked Pan Mei to meet at Chen JiaGu.
After Yang Ye led the troops to attack, Pan Mei did not lead the troops to meet Yang Ye in Chen Jiagu as agreed, but did not care whether Yang Ye was dead or alive, and thus a generation of famous generals became prisoners of the enemy army.
After being captured, Yang Ye was unwilling to give in and went on hunger strike and died.
After Song Taizong learned the news that Yang Ye had died of hunger strike, he was very sad, paid for the Yang family, and personally sealed the descendants of the Yang family, which is also the origin of the Yang family general.
However, in history, the story of the Yang family general also ended abruptly here, and there was no explanation of the whereabouts of the Yang family general in the future, and the various deeds of the Yang family general in the novel were written.
Many years ago, people found a village called Lu Hoof Stream in a large mountain in Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, and the people in the village said: They are the descendants of Yang Ye.
There is also the Yang Family Ancestral Hall in the village, where they live in isolation from the world, their lives are all dependent on labor, and everyone has the habit of practicing martial arts, and the older generation is also some practicing family members. At that time, their way of life was also the ancient way.
With the change of the times, the young people in the village have gone out to break in, and after the village was known to the outside world, many people believed that this village was not a descendant of the Yang family.
However, experts have repeatedly examined that the ancestral hall in the village has a long history, and the family tree also has yang ye's name, so they are indeed the descendants of the Yang family.
However, for the words of experts, the outside world still maintains a skeptical attitude, after all, the Yang family will be recorded in history very little, and most of the storylines in the novel are fabricated.
So do you think this thing is true or false?
