Yang Ye was good at riding and shooting since he was a child, and he loved hunting, and his martial arts was also high. Every time he hunts, he always gets twice as much as others. He said to his companions, "I will lead troops to fight in the future, just like a falcon chasing rabbits."
Yang Ye lived up to Song Taizong's great trust, and successively built six soldier villages: Wu Yang Village, Hunzhai Village, Xisongsai Village, Yueru Village, Hugu Village and Dashi Village (all in Fan Shi County). In March of the fifth year of Taiping and Xingguo (AD 980), 100,000 people from the Khitan army came to attack Yanmen. Yang Ye led his troops to intercept and surprise attack, defeated the Khitan army, killed the second, Xu and Xiao Duli, and captured Li Chonghai alive. From then on, when the enemy soldiers saw the banner of "Yang", they were frightened to disgrace and retreated without fighting, calling Yang Ye "invincible Yang". Therefore, the imperial court promoted him to the secretariat of Yunzhou, and he still knew Daizhou. Yang Ye was stationed in Yanmenguan for eight years, but the Khitan army never dared to invade.
Yang Ye's outstanding military exploits made some narrow-minded colleagues jealous. Some people wrote anonymous letters to Song Taizong to slander Yang Ye. Song Taizong didn't believe it, but he sealed these slanderers and gave them to Yang Ye to show his trust.
In the first month of the third year of Yongxi (AD 986), in order to completely solve the border harassment caused by Qidan, Song Taizong insisted on an all-round attack on Qidan and ordered three divisions to carry out the northern expedition: on the East Road, Cao Bin and Cui led the main forces to attack Youzhou from Xiongzhou in the north; Zhonglutian re-entered the command and Dingzhou attacked the flying fox; The West Road was commanded by Pan Mei and Yang Ye, leaving Yanmenguan and attacking Shuozhou (now Shuoxian County, Shanxi Province), Huan (now Shuoxian East, Shanxi Province), Yun (now datong county, Shanxi Province) and Ying (now Yingxian County, Shanxi Province). The ultimate goal is to join forces with the three armed forces in Youzhou and fight with the Khitan. The Third Route Army advanced at the same time, and the Eastern Route Army just attacked and met the main force of the Khitan, and was defeated by Qigou Pass. The middle route army heard that the East Road was defeated and lost without a fight; The marked armies in Pan Mei and Yang Ye, which started only two months ago, achieved fruitful results, recovered Shuozhou, Atlas, Yunying and Yingzhou, and arrived at Sanggan River. However, due to the rout of the defenders in the East and China, they became alone. After the Khitan defeated Song Jun in the East Road and the Middle Road, he mobilized hundreds of elite troops to press on to the Atlas State occupied by Pan and Yang. The court ordered Pan and Yang Lingbing to escort people from Shuozhou, Yunzhou and Yingzhou to Daizhou immediately. Under the circumstances of Enemy at the Gates at that time, it was very difficult to accomplish this task. After careful consideration, Yang Ye put forward a feasible plan: First, send someone to inform the commanders of Yunzhou and Shuozhou to let Yunzhou people go out first when our army leaves Daizhou and goes north. When our army arrives in Yingzhou, the Khitan will definitely send troops to fight. At this time, the people of Shuozhou were ordered to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and 1 0,000 archers were sent to guard Taniguchi, so that the people could move in safely.
Wang Xian, the army supervisor, and Pan Mei, the head coach, resolutely opposed Yang Ye's actual plan. In order to succeed, they forced Yang Ye to lead the troops against Atlas State. Wang Xian said, "You have tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Why are you so timid? You should go straight out of Yanmenguan and go north! " Yang Ye said, "No, you can only fail." Said insidiously, "Aren't you the so-called natural enemy of Yang? Why dare not confront the enemy head-on? Do you still have ulterior motives? " Yang Ye said angrily, "I'm not afraid of death, but I want to minimize the loss and fulfill the mission entrusted by the emperor. Since you ask me this question, well, I'll go now. " When he left, Yang Ye said to Pan Mei in tears, "This time, I will definitely lose. I am a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and I am grateful to the Emperor. I am willing to die for my country. " He pointed to Chenjiagu (now south of Shuoxian County, Shanxi Province) and said, "You must arrange strong archers on both wings. When I move here, you will send troops to attack, or we will be wiped out. " After that, Yang jiye set off with his troops. After two fierce battles, Yang Ye was defeated because he was outnumbered. When he retreated to Chenjiagu, Wang Xian and Pan Mei had left Taniguchi with their troops, and Yang Jiye was trapped. Although he fought bravely, he was outnumbered and seriously injured. He fell from his horse and was captured, and finally died of hunger strike. His son air billow also died in this battle.
According to historical records, besides Yan Yu, Yang Ye's sons include Yan Lang, Yan Pu, Yan Xun, Yan Huan, Yan Gui and Yan Bin.
Yang Yanlang was later renamed Zhao Yan, and people called him "Yang Liulang". He is brave and good at fighting, and his orders are strict. He was also a famous soldier in the Northern Song Dynasty. When he was a child, Yang was influenced by his father and liked to play military games. Yang Ye often says to people, "This child is the most like me." Take him to the battlefield every time you fight. During the war, he quickly developed into a brave general. In the third year of Yongxi (AD 986), Yang Ye led an army to northern expedition to Ying and Shuo, sent Yang and fought fiercely with the Khitan army at the gates of Shuozhou. Zhao Yan was shot through the arm by random arrows, but he didn't mind. He fought the enemy even harder. In the winter of the second year of Song Zhenzong Xianping (AD 999), the Khitan army launched a large-scale military attack on the Song Dynasty again, and Song Jun fell one after another. At this time, Yang was guarding Sui City (now west of xushui county, Hebei). Under the siege of Qidan, the city is small and unprepared, and everyone is in danger. Yang quietly led his troops into the city to stick to it without panic. He asked the soldiers to ice the wall with water to make it firm and smooth. The Khitan army could not capture the city, so it had to attack other places by a detour. After the death of Yang Ye, Yang Shoubei defeated the Khitan army for more than twenty years, and inherited and carried forward the Yang family's fine family style of "serving the country faithfully".
The third generation is Yang, the son of Yang, who is also a famous border guard in Song Dynasty. During Song Renzong's time, he served as a general guarding the border between Hebei and Shaanxi. When guarding Shaanxi, it was mainly to defend the Xixia kingdom from the intrusion of the Central Plains.
This is how Yang Jiajiang has done its duty to defend the motherland from generation to generation. Their deeds continue to enter legends, stories, drama stage and film and television drama creation. Ouyang Xiu, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, praised Yang Ye and Yang, saying that "father and son are both famous, and their wisdom and courage are invincible. Up to now, people in the world, as far as Lear Tree is concerned, can tell the truth. " During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, folk artists adapted Yang Jiajiang's story into a drama and put it on the stage. In the Ming Dynasty, folk writers compiled their stories into Legend of Yang Jiajiang and Biography of Yang Jiajiang, which were widely circulated among the people in the form of novel storytelling. These legends and stories describe Yang Jiajiang's heroic fighting and sacrifice in a very detailed and touching way. They also portrayed Pan Mei, a hero of the Song Dynasty, as a great traitor as a foil, which made Yang Jiajiang's heroic image and aristocratic family style more tall and perfect. Seven Langs and Eight Tigers broke the secluded state and fought bloody battles on a golden beach, led by Mu, a female general of Yangmen, and led by She Taijun's 12-year-old widow's Western Expedition, and ... the vivid image of patriots is widely circulated in the world, so that everyone can't tell which are historical facts and which are legends and legends.
