Historically, people have often been drawn to bravery, wisdom, and fearlessness. Yang Ye, his story is a legend, a great general, his life is full of legends, let's review the life of this Yang general.
Yang Jiajiang, this name is not only a well-known legend for many people, but also a legendary existence. The protagonist we are familiar with is Yang Ye, commonly known as Yang Lao Linggong. However, Yang Ye was not a general of the Song Dynasty in his early years, but a military dignitary of the Northern Han Dynasty. This general had close ties with the Liao State, because the establishment of the Northern Han State was closely related to the Liao State.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, did not directly eliminate the Northern Han Kingdom, but this task fell on Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty. During Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition, Yang Ye fought with Liu Jiyuan, but Yang Ye lost the battle and finally chose to surrender to Song Taizong.
He once surrendered under the name of Liu Jiye, and Zhao Guangyi was very appreciative of Yang Ye's military talents, so he changed him back to Yang's surname and gave him the name "Ye". Yang Ye got its name from this and became the Yang Ye in history.
Like new employees who have jumped ship, they are always in the spotlight and are paid even better. Yang Ye was also greatly rewarded by Song Taizong for this, not only mastering heavy troops, but also receiving rich material rewards.
However, if you have received money or possessions from others, you must always do something for them. So, when Liao Jingzong attacked Yanmen, Yang Ye cooperated with Pan Mei to flank the Liao army and won a brilliant victory. The battle of Yanmen Pass made Yang Ye's reputation famous all over the world, and the sound was resounding.
To deal with Liao, he has a unique set of tactics. In the Northern Expedition of Yongxi, Pan Mei served as the chief general of the Western Route Army, while Yang Ye was his deputy, and Wang Yu, the assassin of Ulzhou, served as the protector. But it's a pity that Wang Yu and Pan Mei became pig teammates around Yang Ye.
The first thing mentioned was Wang Yu, who deliberately provoked Yang Ye, causing Yang Ye to be in danger. As a general, Yang Ye had a high status, but his relationship with his colleagues was not very harmonious.
As a result, there is an endless stream of remarks to impeach Yang Ye. Song Taizong reviewed the recitals every day, and he could see a large number of articles attacking Yang Ye, but Zhao Guangyi knew the reason for this, so he never paid attention to these accusations.
When participating in the Yongxi Northern Expedition, although Yang Ye was the deputy general of the Western Route Army, he still failed to get along with his colleagues. The one who hates him the most is Wang Yu.
At that time, the situation of the Eastern Route Army was not good, and Song Gaozong sent Pan Mei to lead the troops to move the people of Yunzhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, and Shuozhou to the interior. This move is a bit ruthless, and it can be said to be a means to emulate Cao Cao.
But while migrating, the Liao army raided Huanzhou. Yang Ye suggested that Pan Mei could not compete with her opponents for the time being, and should first escort the people back to the mainland, and he also proposed a feasible escort plan. But Wang Yu scoffed and accused Yang Ye of cowardice.
Wang Yu was even more in a word, he directly stimulated Yang Ye's heart. As a general, Yang Ye has always suffered from the discrimination and suspicion of the veterans of the Song Dynasty, and this time he even bluntly expressed their thoughts. These words hit Yang Ye's heart, and he was extremely angry.
As a result, Yang Ye fought fiercely with the Liao army without hesitation. Although he told Pan Mei before leaving that the operation would fail, he chose to charge into battle to prove his mettle.
This military action was originally strongly opposed by Yang Ye, but in order to convince the generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, he could only sail against the current and work hard to overcome difficulties.
However, Wang Yu's magic operation made the strategy fall short. When Yang Ye retreated to Langya Village, Wang Yu immediately led his troops to withdraw from the ambush point and strive for credit for the front. Even if Pan Mei wanted to stop it, Wang Yu didn't listen to dissuasion in order to grab the merit, and Pan Mei reluctantly left.
In this way, Yang Ye became a lone soldier who went deep into the enemy territory single-handedly. The perfect plan was shattered by Wang Yu's betrayal. When Yang Ye retreated to the mouth of Chenjia Valley, he found that the place was empty.
Seeing that the Liao army was about to be encircled and suppressed, Yang Ye was overwhelmed with grief and indignation and decided to die for his country. He was seriously wounded in dozens of places, killed hundreds of enemy soldiers with his own hands, and was eventually captured.
His son Yang Yanyu was killed in battle, and Yang Ye was disheartened and chose to go on a hunger strike for three days, eventually starving to death. Yang Ye's bravery and sacrifice touched future generations, but it was also the rebellion of Wang Yu's pig teammate and Pan Mei's inaction that brought him to a dead end.
Zhao Guangyi was very sad when he learned what happened to Yang Ye. After he found out the truth, he demoted Wang Yu and demoted him to another country, seeking justice for Yang Ye.
Yang Ye's life tells us that excellent performance is not everything. His bravery and extraordinary courage on the battlefield are undoubtedly admired by all, but the handling of his relationships with colleagues is a part of his imperfect handling. In the new work environment, it's important to be part of the team, otherwise there will be many challenges.
This historical story teaches us that in the long course of history, brave people have not always won smoothly, and a pig teammate or a discordant team relationship can hinder a person's path forward. Let us remember this history and consider its implications.
This is the story of Yang Ye, a legendary and tragic historical chapter, leaving a far-reaching enlightenment.
