In 986, the famous Northern Song general Yang Ye cried and explained the aftermath to Pan Mei, a seven-year-old partner, and Wang Nong, the overseer of the army: "I was originally a general in Taiyuan, I should have died a long time ago, and now the emperor does not kill me, but also lets me command the army, and I will repay the emperor's favor with death today." ＂
Yang Yesheng continued in tears, "It's just that my soldiers can't die with me in vain, so please ambush the archers near Chen Jia Gu, and when I turn to this point, you will receive me here, otherwise, none of us will survive!" ＂
For Yang Ye's request, Wang Nong and Pan Mei "gladly accepted."
Song Taizu Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition failed, and ordered Pan Mei and Yang Ye's Western Route Army to escort 200,000 people from four prefectures and move them all to the interior.
Yang's owner Zhang could not engage the Liao soldiers head-on, and adopted the method of attacking the west with sound east.
Who knows, Yang Ye's plan was completely rejected by the overseer at that time, Weizhou Assassin Wang Nong, and also put forward his own idea: "Now that we command tens of thousands of elite soldiers, we should not be timid to this point!" We should go to Yanmen Pass and meet the enemy in Mayi with great momentum. ＂
Command 50,000 infantry to resist the enemy's 300,000 iron horses, but also to meet the enemy with great fanfare? Faced with such a completely unreliable idea, Yang Ye shook his head and retorted, "If this is the case, we will be defeated." ＂
Upon hearing this, Wang Nong's face sank, and Yin Yang said strangely, "Aren't you Yang Ye known as an 'invincible general'?" Now that you have led tens of thousands of troops and are about to flee when you see the enemy, don't you want to defect to the enemy? ＂
This sentence made Yang Ye completely dumbfounded.
As a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, the thing Yang Ye feared most in his life was that others said that he was unfaithful. Moreover, during the Song Taizong period, this "rebellion" hat was too big and too heavy, and even a deep-rooted Song general did not dare to wear this hat at all.
Yang Ye could only angrily say to Wang Nong and the others: "I Yang Ye am not a greedy person who is afraid of death, but a plan of the princes, who will only sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain, and it is impossible to succeed." At this point, since you accuse me of Yang Ye's greed and fear of death, I will die today for the princes to see! ＂
With full of grief and unwillingness, with heavy worries and determination to die, Yang Ye led 5,000 elite cavalry out of battle and went straight to Shuozhou to meet the 100,000 liao iron horses that were bombarding.
When Yang Ye was fighting in bloody battles, Wang Nong sent people to climb the lookout on the north side of Chen Jiagu and found that Yang Ye was more and more courageous in the war, and at this moment, Wang Nong thought that the "invincible general" had defeated the Liao army, so in order to grab merit, Wang Nong ignored Yang Ye's instructions before the expedition, and he led his troops out of Chen Jia Gu, intending to fight the Liao army to the death.
In the face of Wang Nong's behavior, although Pan Mei was the commander-in-chief, there was nothing he could do but watch as Wang Nong took the main force away from the valley mouth.
And Pan Mei himself, he led the troops along the river side to walk and watch, as a result, after marching more than 20 miles, overheard the news of Yang Ye's defeat, Pan Mei led the army to retreat at the first time.
At this point, after Yang Ye led his army to flee to the Chen Family Valley, what awaited them was not reinforcements and crossbows, but an empty and silent valley.
In the face of this situation, Yang Yemei came from his heart and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the sky is visible!" Chen Yangye, tried his best... ＂
When Yang Ye and the others were mourning, the Liao army had already arrived, and in the face of these tens of thousands of pursuing soldiers who besieged themselves, Yang Ye knew that the general trend had gone, and he said to his soldiers: "Ru and others have parents, wives and children, and it is useless to die with me, so hurry up and break through the chaos to repay the Son of Heaven!" ＂
You know, these Song troops are pure cavalry, if they want to take advantage of the chaos to break through, it should not be difficult. However, these people were not willing to abandon this old general, and they were all willing to meet the enemy with Yang Ye and live and die together!
On this day, in Chen Jiagu, none of Yang Ye's soldiers survived, and all of them died heroically, including Yang Ye's eldest son Yang Yanyu and the 76-year-old veteran Wang Gui. Yang Ye himself suffered more than 10 serious wounds, and finally fought exhaustively, was captured by the Liao army, and finally died of hunger strike.
Yang Ye, originally a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, was good at riding and shooting, and was highly skilled in martial arts, and surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty. Although the suspicious Zhao Guangyi never trusted him, because in the long-term border conflict, Yang Ye accumulated rich combat experience against the Liao army, and his prestige in the northern defense line was quite high, so in 980, Zhao Guangyi appointed him to guard Yanmen Pass.
At the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Yang Yewei shook the north. But in the end, it ended up in a tragic end.
In the Song Dynasty, the status of military generals was very low, and important generals, especially the heavy generals of Bianzhen, only had the right to command the army and did not have the right to transfer troops. Each important general was accompanied by a supervisor.
What is the Overseer? They were the officials sent by the emperor to inspect and supervise the battle situation in the war zone, they were the emperor's cronies, holding the sword of Shangfang, and had the power to cut first and play later! If the military generals did not obey their dispatches, the overseers would frame the generals and say that they were plotting rebellion.
Therefore, when Wang Nong provoked Yang Ye's "HeZhi", Yang Ye went to war in anger, and he could only use his own death to clarify that he did not have the suspicion of "Hezhi".
In fact, if Yang Ye did not die on the battlefield, his fate would be even more tragic. Because this is the Song Dynasty in order to guard against military generals, under the system of "emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts", the fate of military generals is subject to the supervision army, and they dare not oppose the supervision army. #战争风云 #
