Chapter 67 In the second quarter, the often defeated general turns into Yang Wudi

Yang Ye, formerly known as Yang Chonggui, was given the surname of the country when he served the Northern Han Dynasty, and changed his name to Liu Jiye. After returning to the Song Dynasty, the surname Yang was restored. Although some posterity called him Yang Jiye, and some called him Yang Ye, but he There is a name recognized by later generations, that is Yang Wudi.So how did Yang Ye become the famous general Yang Wudi after he returned to the Song Dynasty? Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty appointed Yang Ye as the general of Wei, the leader of the left, and the deputy capital of Zhidai Prefecture and Sanjiaokou, and was subordinate to General Pan Mei.In fact, Pan Mei was a false title on the front line, and the real responsibility of defense fell on Yang Ye.

After Yang Ye surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he was loyal and made many military exploits. The most famous battle he experienced was the Battle of Daibeiyanmen.At that time, the general of the Liao Kingdom, the consort, the attendant, the Jiedu envoy Xiao Duli, and the commander Li Chonghai in front of the palace led an army of 100,000 to invade Yanmen Pass.The Song army was only 10,000 to 20,000, and the coach Pan Mei was not on the front line, so Yang Ye discussed with his sons. We will mention these sons later. There are so many, the enemy's 100,000 army may be claimed, but the Song army is only 10,000 to 20,000, and it can only be outsmarted, not powerful.Yang Ye asked his sons, do you have a good way?As the saying goes, brothers fight tigers, and father and son fight in battle. Yang Ye always brings his sons with him every time he goes into battle.One of his sons said that when the Liao army came from afar, they didn't know that there was a small road behind the mountain, so his son would like to lead a team to go around the small road and catch him by surprise.Yang Ye said that this is a good idea, and my father and son will go together.Thousands of people, taking advantage of the dark night, walked along the path, and suddenly appeared behind the Liao army.The Liao army was caught off guard. They didn't expect the Song army's miraculous soldiers to descend from the sky. The sleepy commander of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Duo Li, mounted his horse to fight, but was cut off by Yang Ye. Another general in front of the palace commanded Li Chonghai to be captured alive. "Song History" records that this battle was the result of Yang Ye's partial division, Pan Mei leading the main force, and internal and external pincers.However, only Yang Ye was mentioned in "Liao History", and Pan Mei was not mentioned. It is possible that Yang Ye's side teacher sneaked in and there was no Pan Mei's business, because he was still some distance away from the front line.After this battle, Yang Ye was honored as Yang Wudi by the Liao people. "The Chronicle of Song History" records: "At that time, he was good at fighting with karma, and he was named Yang Wudi." Volume 21 of "Continued Zizhi Tongjian Changbian" said: "The karma comes from the victory of Yanmen, and the Khitan fears it. Every time I see karma The flag will be led away." When the Khitan people saw the Yang character banner coming, they turned around and ran away. There was no need to fight hard with him. The Northern Song Dynasty had many places and some generals. Why should I gnaw on this difficult bone?

Yang Ye was very brave in battle and always took the lead.In fact, he was like this when he was hunting, and every time he harvested much more than others.Others find it very strange, saying that we are hunting, isn’t it just for fun? Why do you have nothing to do with animals? You have to chase the rabbit until it stands on the ground and stares. It’s not necessary, this rabbit can’t be caught , let's catch other rabbits, why are you doing this?Yang Ye said, the reason why I hunt so hard is because I think this is how I will kill enemies on the battlefield in the future.You are hunting for fun, I am training soldiers, horse bow and horse skills cannot be neglected, I want to be ruthless in killing the enemy, and I must be ruthless in hunting.When my colleagues heard this, you are really enlightened. When you are playing, you don't forget to defend your home and country?I dare you to regard wild rabbits and pheasants as Khitan people.admire!Yang Ye practiced his ability to kill the enemy hard at ordinary times, so he was able to make military exploits on the battlefield repeatedly, and he was known as Yang Invincible.
