The Yang family will basically be unknown to everyone in the country, no one knows, and they also have great admiration for the old Yang Ye, after two generations of dynasties, they are at ease, and they are all loyal to the name, which is not easy. Lao Yang was born into a family of eunuchs and received a good education from an early age. Yang Ye's life has ups and downs, but no matter the good times and bad times, he has done his duty faithfully, knows the gratitude and rewards, and also has a noble national integrity.
When he became famous at a young age, he had to meet huai
To say Yang Ye, we have to mention Liu Chong, the first emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, this is a person who has a deep influence on Yang Ye, but also the first person to appreciate him, have the grace of knowledge, Yang Ye in his youth is full of spirit, single-mindedly making meritorious achievements, his luck is also very good, he has followed Liu Chong's side since childhood, after he became emperor, he also became a pro-army leader, deeply trusted, Liu Chong gave him the first stage of life.
Yang Ye was like Huo of Han Wu, who began to make meritorious achievements at a young age, went to the southern expedition to the northern war, went to a lot of battle results, and the official position was also greatly promoted, during this period, Liu Chong even let him follow his surname Liu, in order to show his grace, taking the name Jiye, which means inheriting the great cause, and has great expectations for him, Yang Ye did not live up to this trust, all the way to the official promotion to the moderation, but also determined to repay the favor of knowledge, so even if the country's strength declined, he never retreated.
The country is defeated and faced with tests
Liu Chong's generation immediately tianzi, in the conquest of Later Zhou, defeated, the Northern Han for a time, the wind and rain, in the following short year, two emperors died in a row, until Liu Jiyuan succeeded to the throne, Yang Ye also began the trough of life, externally, the Song state was aggressive, the Liao state was high; internally, the imperial court was smoky miasma, the emperor was not as trustworthy as the founding emperor, favored the eunuchs, and gradually alienated him, and the army also because the emperor was good at killing generals, and he was alienated.
At this time, Yang Ye still did not flinch, in the case of a huge disparity in strength, resisted the attack of the Song army, the Song army in the Zhao Kuangyin period was by no means the 'soft soldier' of the late Song Dynasty, Yang Ye insisted on this situation for more than ten years, until the Song Kingdom changed the Tianzi, during the Emperor Taizong period, Zhao Guangyi began a large-scale invasion, at this time, even with Yang Ye's talent, he was unable to return to heaven, not to mention that there was a late Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Sure enough, after the war, Liu Jiyuan himself surrendered first, and at this time Yang Ye was still fighting hard with the Song army, waiting to know that his own son of heaven had fallen, Yang Ye was the most painful and difficult time in his life to choose, on the one hand, the state affairs of the decadent rout, Liu Jiyuan surrendered, he did not know who to fight for, on the other hand, he was kind to his first emperor Liu Chong, giving his kindness, he had to repay, Yang Ye chose to continue to resist, Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to let Liu Jiyuan surrender, Yang Ye's faith collapsed, crying and kneeling in the direction of Liu Chong's death , disarmament and surrender.
A new starting point, still loyal to duty
Yang Ye's loyalty was highly appreciated by Zhao Guangyi, who constantly rewarded him, gave high-ranking officials, and also gave trust, after experiencing the destruction of Liu Jiyuan, Yang Ye was particularly sensitive and cherished to trust, and his attitude began to soften; on the other hand, the Great Song intended to recover Yanyun and start a war with the Liao state, and this was Yang Ye's long-cherished wish, and it was also the pain in his heart, before the Northern Han Dynasty was dependent on the Liao state, enough humiliation, even Liu Chong, who called himself a nephew to Emperor Liao, Yang Ye had already been angry with the Liao state in his heart, and wanted to be ashamed, and could only rely on the Song army.
It is gold that can shine everywhere, in the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Ye opened the second spring of his career, cooperated with Pan Renmei to defeat the invading Liao army, promoted to an observer, and also held a series of positions in Zhengzhou and Daizhou, for a time, the wind and water rose, and what was more difficult was Zhao Guangyi's trust in him, just like Liu Chong.
The general will inevitably die before the battle, leaving only the legend in the human world
At this time, after years of preparation, the Great Song opened a war to recover Yanyun and took the initiative to attack the Liao state, and as a result, the teammates of the Eastern Route Army were defeated first, driving the entire war situation to decline, the Zhonglu Army was defeated, Yang Ye's Western Route Army became the only remaining fruit, at this time, what could be done was to retreat to preserve strength, but also to bring back the people in the Liao region, Yang Ye could only ambush and resist, hoping to complete this task.
As a result, the teammates around him deceived him again, took all the reinforcements away, isolated and helpless, Yang Ye's entire army was destroyed, and finally captured, as an old opponent for many years, Liao Guo knew and admired Yang Ye very well, hoping that he could turn to Liao Guo like a Song, but Yang Ye was deeply trusted by Zhao Guangyi, how could he live up to it? Yang Ye died of hunger strike.
Yang Ye's life, through two dynasties, but no matter where he is, his loyalty is not questioned, this is because he is backed by good character, and the legend of the Yang family general in later generations is to inherit this kind of integrity of his, and also through a series of artistic processing, express respect for the old Yang Ye.
