Chapter 368 Who is to blame for Yang Ye’s death?
[Let’s talk about the Yang Family Generals.]
The story of the Yang Family Generals was gradually derived from the Song Dynasty, from Ouyang Xiu's "Yang Qi's Tomb Inscription" and Su Che's "Luancheng Collection" to the folk tales of the Southern Song Dynasty, including "Wulang Becomes a Monk", "Yang Linggong" and "Yang Zhi, the Green-faced Beast", and finally to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, when the story system of the Yang Family Generals was completely transformed and "The Romance of the Yang Family Mansion" appeared.
Let's first take a look at the main characters in the novel:
The first Yang Ye was originally named Yang Chonggui. Later, he was renamed Liu Jiye by the emperor of Northern Han. After Northern Han was incorporated into the Song Dynasty, his name was changed again to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye was a surrendered general of the Northern Han Dynasty and later guarded Yanmen Pass.
But if we look back at Yang Ye's life, we will find that he actually followed the Song Dynasty for a very short time. He first joined the Song Dynasty in 979, the fourth year of Emperor Taizong's Taiping Xingguo reign, and then was slandered by Pan Mei and Wang Quan during the Northern Expedition in 986, the third year of Emperor Taizu's Yongxi reign. He was forced to take risks to meet the enemy, but because he had no reinforcements, he refused to surrender and finally died of starvation.
＜Wang Quan was the military supervisor. The military supervisor of the Song Dynasty held the marching battle formation map given by the emperor. Hmm... Zhao Er likes to do this! The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, but the general had to listen to the marching battle formation map in the hands of the military supervisor. What's this? ! It feels like it's not that the generals of the Northern Song Dynasty can't fight, but that the emperor can't. ＞
＜Yang Ye was completely betrayed by his idiot teammates! Pan Mei was the main general, Yang Ye was the deputy main general, and Wang Quan was the military supervisor. Zhao Lao Er was a huge idiot, he had no military strategist talent but loved micromanagement. The culprit was Zhao Lao Er.＞
＜Micro-manipulation master, I thought of someone in modern times, but the advantage is really mine [eating melon]＞
＜In novels and TV dramas, Pan Mei has been blamed for hundreds of years [covering face]＞
＜He deserves it. Pan Mei was the commander-in-chief and should have taken full responsibility, but he was portrayed too badly in the novel.＞
＜Pan Mei was originally responsible for the greatest responsibility! He was the main general, and he was very familiar with the situation at the time. He knew that the order given by Wang Quan was wrong, but he still chose to remain silent. It is admitted that the power of the military supervisor in the Song Dynasty was indeed great, but under the circumstances at the time, Zhao Er would not say anything later if he did not listen to him for the sake of victory.＞
＜Refuting the above comments, Pan Mei would not be able to object. A closer look at his life experience will show that he is extremely cautious and smooth in dealing with things. And Zhao Er, are you sure he is not petty? Anyway, Pan Mei would never risk being beheaded for a surrendered general to offend the military supervisor sent by the emperor.＞
＜Looking at Li Jilong of the same period, you will find that it doesn't matter if he is a military supervisor? He disobeyed the imperial order. Li Jilong disobeyed the imperial order of two generations of emperors, but Zhao Erren was not good at rewarding him after understanding the whole story. Pan Mei was a famous general and military commander who was as famous as them. He was also able to confront Wang Quan, but he just didn't want to do it. He also acquiesced to Wang Quan's practice of using the people of the three places and the army to exchange for military merits.＞
＜Li Jilong is a relative by marriage, and his sister is the empress of Zhao Er……＞
＜Don't think too highly of Pan Mei. When they went to meet Yang Ye, they heard that Yang Ye was defeated, and they ran away without confirming it... This is the truth that led to Yang Ye's death in the end. Wang Cong was exiled, which is the highest punishment for a scholar. Pan Mei was only demoted three levels because of this incident, and he was reinstated a few years later. [Helpless] I can only say that the Song Dynasty is such a god. Such a big mistake, but the two culprits are still alive and well. ＞
＜The Yang family generals are just made-up generals. There are no famous battles in their official history.＞
[Song Kaibao Year 3 Pan Mei: Me?]
[Song Kaibao Year 3 Liu Jiye: Me?]
[Song Kaibao Year 3 Zhao Dezhao: Only he could draw a picture of a march and a battle.]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Why do we call him Zhao Er? He is the third child.]
……
Song Dynasty, Kaibao Year 3
"It's your fault again." Zhao Kuangyin stepped on the place where Zhao Guangyi's broken leg was out of habit.
"It's not shameful to be incompetent and not know military affairs. Just let them do it if you can't do it. You are really capable."
Zhao Kuangyin finished his words calmly, drank a sip of tea, and continued to educate his brother.
Zhao Pu thought that the war on the front line was stalemate, and the Northern Han had asked the Liao Kingdom for help. It would not be easy to fight hard. If he could persuade them to surrender...
...
Cao Bin patted Pan Mei on the shoulder, looking helpless and angry at her for not fighting back.
"You said... you were so stumped by a military supervisor? Then it would be our soldiers who were killed!" Cao Bin sighed. Fortunately, Zhao Guangyi was already a disabled person.
Zhao Dezhao, who came out to gain some experience, also said: "Even if he is a surrendered general, he is still a citizen of the Song Dynasty. We cannot leave him alone just because of his status."
"Your Highness, General Cao. I..." Pan Mei put himself back into the role of the person speaking on the screen. He fully understood why he made this choice at that time.
The situation in the court changed, and he was too cautious in order to protect himself.
"Alas, General Pan fought bravely for Song and won many victories. I believe General Pan will make the right choice this time."
Zhao Dezhao waved his hand to signal him not to blame himself. The next stage was a critical one for the battle against the Northern Han and Liao armies, and they could not relax their vigilance at all.
Suddenly thinking of the words on the screen, Zhao Dezhao asked: "Yang Ye, no, it should still be called Liu Jiye now, can we persuade him to surrender?"
Cao Bin supported his chin with his hand, thought for a while, and then glanced at Pan Mei.
"We need to persuade them to surrender, but we lack the right timing, a perfect timing."
...
Emperor Liu Jiyuan of the Northern Han Dynasty shouted, "Quick! Announce the decree and have Liu Jiye return quickly!"
What Guangmu said could not be false, Liu Jiye was a surrendered general of the Northern Han Dynasty.
"Yes, it must be because of him! My Northern Han will perish!"
"We can't let him stay on the front line any longer. Order him back immediately."
"Your Majesty, changing generals in the middle of a battle is a big taboo!"
Some ministers tried to dissuade him, but Liu Jiyuan rejected them all.
"Big taboo?! I think keeping him is the big taboo! If you don't come back, then never come back!"
"Your Majesty, this..."
After the autonomous commander was killed, the morale of the Northern Han army was low. If it happened again, it would be better to betray the Liao Kingdom and surrender to the Song army.
...
The Liao Kingdom sent 60,000 troops to besiege Dingzhou, and Tian Qinzuo led his troops to resist.
