First, let's talk about Yang Ye Yang Lao Linggong. Yang Ye, the character is heavy and expensive, often called Yang Jiye in the drama, Linzhou New Qin people. A famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was the son of Yang Hongxin, the assassin of the Later Han Dynasty.
Yang Ye was a famous general who made the Liao state feel frightened, and in March of the fifth year of the Taiping Revival, Emperor Jingzong of Liao sent 100,000 troops to attack Yanmen. Yang Ye led three thousand cavalry out of the west, circled north of Yanmen Pass, and raided the Liao army to the south, personally leading hundreds of cavalry to be unprepared for the forward of the large army, rushing into the position with guns and picking up the generals of the Liao army.
Subsequently, he and Pan Mei attacked back and forth, defeated the Liao soldiers, and the guns picked the Liao state horse servant Xiao Ju Li, and the live horse infantry army commanded the envoy Li Chonghai. Since then, Yang Ye's prestige in the Liao army has been greatly shaken, and the Khitan people have fled immediately when they see Yang Ye's banner. Most of the lords of the Zhenshu frontier were jealous, and some even secretly wrote to slander Yang Ye, and after Emperor Taizong of Song finished reading it, he never asked much, sealed the song and handed it to Yang Ye to show his trust.
And such a fierce general died in the Yongxi Northern Expedition, and the novel is all blamed on Pan Mei, causing posterity to think that Pan Mei deliberately killed Yang Laolinggong, but is the truth really like this?
The truth of the matter is that Pan Mei does have the responsibility but not all the responsibility, and the main responsibility lies with Wang Nong, the overseer of the army. With Emperor Taizong of Song ordering a retreat, King Yang Yepan Mei and three of them covered the retreat of the people.
Yang Ye advocated that he could not directly engage the Liao army, and mainly protected the people from retreating without fail. However, the traitorous minister Wang Nong actually refuted Yang Ye and ridiculed Yang Ye as an invincible general, and had to come up with a bad idea of retreating with great fanfare. Another general, Liu Wenyu, agreed, and even the main general Pan Mei did not express his position.
As we all know, the Song Dynasty was particularly heavy on literature and light on military force, and even the army was cut down with civilian officials, and it was very serious. Although the position of The Overseer Wang Nong was not high, he was indeed the emperor's man. So Wang Nong forced Yang Ye to face the Khitan army.
Yang Ye knew that this battle would be lost, and before leaving, he asked Pan Mei to meet him at the mouth of Chen Jia Gu. So he marched forward, fell under siege in Wolf's Tooth Village, fought hard all day, and retreated to the mouth of Chen JiaGu. Wang Nong thought that the Khitan army had been defeated and withdrawn, and they all planned to fight for merit, and immediately led their troops out of Taniguchi. Pan Mei could not control it, so she marched southwest along the Jiaohe River for twenty miles.
Soon after hearing of Yang Ye's defeat, he immediately led his troops to retreat. Pan Mei Wang's army had gone, and Yang Ye fought hard under the isolation and helplessness, and from noon to evening, he did come to the valley mouth. Seeing that there was no one, he patted his chest very sadly, and continued to lead his subordinate soldiers to fight hard, suffering more than ten wounds on his body, the soldiers were almost dead, Yang Ye still personally killed hundreds of Liao troops, the war horses were seriously injured and could not advance, so Yang Ye was captured by the Khitans, and his second son Yang Yanyu was also killed.
Yang Ye sighed and said, "Your Majesty treats me very richly, and I expect to recruit the enemy to defend the border to repay him, but instead I am coerced by the traitors, resulting in the defeat of the army. So he died of hunger strike for three days Yang Ye's heroic deeds were rumored to be a good story, and then someone in the Liao Dynasty built the Yang Invincible Temple at the ancient north entrance of Miyun to commemorate Yang Ye.
Therefore, the first person responsible for Yang Ye's sacrifice was the traitorous minister Wang Nong. In the case of the enemy being strong and we are weak, they did not heed Yang Ye's correct advice, and forced him to engage the enemy in a frontal battle, and when he saw death, he could not save it, so that the receiving army withdrew from ChenJiagukou.
Therefore, this royal servant is the greatest traitor. And Pan Mei should also bear this secondary responsibility, as a military commander, did not stop the wrong decision of wang nong in time. Although Wang Nong, the overseer of the army, had great power, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, Pan Mei could not escape the blame.
Therefore, the primary responsibility is not Pan Mei, who has been scolded for a thousand years, but the traitorous courtier Wang Nong!
