Yang Huai: Relax your guard and lose everything

But in the Duling Autumn Lane, passers-by came and went to read Mingjing. The opening chapter still reminds everyone to pay attention to protection when traveling. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were frequent clashes between various forces, and countless soldiers fought on the battlefield, some of whom were buried for a long time, and also created many generals. This article will talk about Yang Huai.

There are not many records about Yang Huai, from the records of the "Biography of the Lingling Ancestors", Yang Huai should be a Lingling person in Jingzhou, and there were also some Lingling people on the stage at the end of the Han Dynasty, revisiting the list: Liu Xian, Zhou Buxian, Liu Xiang, Liu Ba, Liu Min, Jiang Wanwǎn, Jiang Bin, Lai Gong, Huang Gai, Guan Huhú, Yang Huai. Among them, Huang Gai, Jiang Wan, and Liu Ba, along with some allusions, have a certain popularity in later generations.

After Liu Yan went to Yizhou to assassinate shi, there were a large number of Nanyang and Sanfu people pouring into Yizhou, which was also a factor that was remote and suitable for avoiding chaos. Liu Yan collected these tens of thousands of families and called them "Dongzhou Soldiers". These were large-scale movements of people, and liu Yan had various reasons for coming to Yizhou during the period of the assassin history, such as Lai Min, who was related to him by marriage, because Wu Yi yì and Liu Ba, who came from his father's friendship, Lü Chang and Lü Qi yì, who had to stay on the way back, Meng Guang, who came to Yizhou for refuge, and Yang Huai may have entered Sichuan with Liu Yan.

"First, nanyang and sanfu people flowed into tens of thousands of homes in Yizhou, and they were recruited as soldiers, known as Dongzhou soldiers" - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Liu Yan Biography" quotes "Heroes"

In the Huayang Guozhi case, when Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang turned against each other, Zhang Lu instigated a rebellion by Bayi Duhaohù, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, and others. In order to deal with the Bayi rebellion, Liu Zhang arranged for Pang Yi to serve as the Taishou of Brazil, and then let Yang Huai and Gao Pei garrison baishui. The position of the White Water Army overseen by Yang Huai and Gao Pei was more critical, and they also hindered Liu Bei's entry into Shu.

"And the Bayi-Japanese rebellion was based on Xi as the Brazilian Taishou; and Yang Huai and Gao Pei were sent to guard the juncture" - Huayang Guozhi

Some of Liu Zhang's officials objected to whether to invite Liu Bei into Yizhou to assist in the conquest of Zhang Lu, such as Huang Quan and Wang Lei, although Huang Quan's attitude was more widely known, but Wang Lei's posture was more resolute. In the case "Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Pang Tong", Yang Huai and Gao Pei also held opposing views, and although they were far away in BaishuiGuan, they also put forward their own advice through letterhead. Moreover, in Pang Tong's description, Yang Huai and Gao Pei can be regarded as "famous generals" under Liu Zhang," indicating that they have at least experienced the battle front for a long time, and their opinions are more worthy of attention.

"Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the famous generals of Zhang, each of them strong soldiers, according to the guarding of the pass, heard a number of notes to advise Zhang, so that the general sent back to Jingzhou" - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms , Biography of Pang Tong"

Therefore, in the three strategies provided by Pang Tong, the middle strategy was to persuade Liu Bei to send Yang Huai and Gao Pei to send them off under the pretext that he wanted to return to Jingzhou, and these two people thought that Liu Bei would also relax his guard when he was about to leave, and just took this opportunity to take down these two people. Liu Bei eventually chose zhongce, and with this plan, he killed Yang Huai and Gao Pei.

"These two sons, who serve the general's honorable name and are pleased with the general's going, will come to see him on light horses, so the general will persist in this and advance his troops, but to Chengdu, and this plan is also"

In addition, the "Biography of the Lingling Ancestors" also recounts another version, Liu Bei invited Liu Zhang's son Liu Yi and Yang Huai, and when he was drinking, Liu Bei saw the dagger that Yang Huai was carrying, and said to Yang Huai, "The general's dagger is very good, can I borrow it?" When Liu Bei took Yang Huai's dagger, his tone of voice changed: "Ru Boy, how dare I have my brother's good and evil", from "general" to "boy", and Yang Huai was also beheaded by Liu Bei. However, the "Liu Yi" here may be "Liu Xie"

If there is any omission, we hope to correct it.
