Chapter 32 Taijun She

"In the Northern Expedition in the third year of Yongxi, Yang Yanzhao went out with his father and brother. When attacking Shuozhou, Yang Yanzhao attacked as a forward and was shot through the arm by Liu Ya, but he fought more bravely. After Yang Ye died in battle, Yang Yanzhao was promoted from a priest to a Deputy Envoy Chongyi."

"Later, he served as the inspector of the edge of Baozhou, and served on the front line of Hebei's frontier defense. The Liao army's fierce siege caused panic among the people in the city, but Yang Yanzhao summoned the strong men in the city, gave them weapons, cooperated with the Song army, and defended with all their strength."

"It was winter at that time, and Yang Yanzhao ordered people to pour water on the city wall. It froze into solid ice overnight, making the city wall slippery and difficult to climb. The Liao army could not continue their fierce offensive, so they had to retreat. The Song army captured the Liao army. Abandoned military equipment. Yang Yanzhao saved Suicheng with a surprising plan, which showed his military talent. For this merit, he was awarded the title of Governor of Mozhou."

"Later, the Liao Kingdom invaded south. Fu Qian, who was deployed to calm Gaoyang Guandu, stationed heavy troops in Zhongshan. He did not station his troops. He passively avoided the battle and did not actively attack the invading Liao army. However, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Si, Shipu and other generals repeatedly He asked Fu Qian to send more troops and take the initiative to attack, but Fu Qian refused to listen and hid in Zhongshan. Even if his generals attacked and won, Fu Qian covered up their achievements."

Qin Shihuang: This official of the Song Dynasty is really sighing!

Cao Cao: This Song Dynasty is really not suitable for good people to survive!

"Later Song Zhenzong got a report and exiled Fu Qian."

"Song Zhenzong summoned Yang Yanzhao and asked him about the border defense strategy. Song Zhenzong was very satisfied with Yang Yanzhao's performance, praised Yang Yanzhao's marching and fighting like a father, and gave him a very generous reward."

"In the fourth year of Xianping, the Liao Kingdom went south to attack again. Yang Yanzhao ambushed the elite soldiers in Yangshan. He led the troops to confront the Liao army, lured the Liao army into the ambush circle, and flanked the ambush with the ambush. The Liao army was defeated. Because of his achievements, Yang Yanzhao was granted the title of training envoy of the Mozhou Regiment, and he and Yang Si, another frontier guard general at that time, were called Er Yang."

"The outstanding achievements of Yang Yanzhao and others have also aroused the jealousy of some people in the court. Song Zhenzong once said to the prime minister: "Si and Yanzhao, who went out of the way, served themselves with loyalty and courage. There are many jealous people in the court. This is why I have tried my best to protect it. "

"In the fifth year of Xianping, the Liao State attacked Baozhou. Yang Yanzhao and Yang Si led the troops to support them. Their crimes. Yang Yanzhao is still serving as the trainer of the Mozhou Regiment."

"In the sixth year of Xianping, Yang Yanzhao was appointed as the inspector of Yuanbiandu, and later moved to the deployment of Ningbian Army. In the first year of Jingde, Song Zhenzong increased Yang Yanzhao's troops to tens of thousands. If the Liao Kingdom invaded, he could directly Lead the army out, and allow him to do things conveniently, and deploy Wang Chao's command if he doesn't listen."

"During the Battle of Chanzhou, Yang Yanzhao once opposed the negotiation of peace. He wrote a letter saying: "Khitan Dun Chanyuan, thousands of miles to the north, there are no troops, although many are easy to lose.Where there is plagiarism, the rate is on the horse, and the army is willing to strangle the main road, so that all can be wiped out.That is, You, Yi and other states.Can be attacked and taken. "Yang Yanzhao's proposition coincided with Kou Zhun's proposition at that time, but the Northern Song Dynasty court did not respond to this."

"The Song Dynasty ruled the country with literature. A group of civil servants who are afraid of death can save their lives by negotiating a peace. They only care about their own lives, but no matter how much they pay, not only the ministers, but even the emperor are like this. How can the court respond?"

"Yang Yanzhao led his troops into the territory of Liao Kingdom, attacked the ancient city, and achieved considerable results. Later, Chanyuan established an alliance, and Yang Yanzhao was promoted several times because of his contribution to guarding the border. In the second year of Jingde, Yang Yanzhao was awarded the deputy capital deployment of Gaoyang Pass. Yang Yanzhao served in Dazhong Xiangfu for seven years and died in office at the age of 57. When Song Zhenzong heard the news, he was extremely sad and sent envoys to protect the soul. Many people in Heshuo looked at the coffin and wept for this. . The Northern Song Dynasty court appointed Yang Yanzhao’s three sons as officials, and often selected talented people from Yang Yanzhao’s retainers as officials.”

"Yang Yanzhao is brave and good at fighting, and all the rewards he gets are given to his subordinates. He is public and selfless. He has a simple style, strict orders, and shares joys and sorrows with his soldiers. He has inherited Yang Ye's style. Yang Yanzhao takes the lead in every battle, gets credit, and shares it with his subordinates. , so the subordinates are also willing to serve him. Yang Yanzhao has guarded the border for more than [-] years, and the Liao Kingdom respects him very much."

"Yang Yanzhao happened to be in the period when the Northern Song Dynasty was defending the Liao Kingdom. He fought to defend the frontier defense of the Song Dynasty, won the love of the people, and continued the prestige of the Yang family."

"In the third generation, each of Yang Yanzhao's three sons also shined on the battlefield, but there are not many records in later generations. I will just tell you about Yang Yanzhao's third son, Yang Wenguang."

"Yang Wenguang served as a class to defeat the thief Zhang Hai and was awarded the imperial title. Later he met Fan Zhongyan who was pacifying Shaanxi. Fan Zhongyan discovered that Yang Wenguang was very talented during the conversation and took him with him. Di Qing went south to Guangxi, and Yang Wenguang accompanied the army, but At this time, Yang Wenguang was still an unknown person. During the war, the Suwei generals were selected. Song Yingzong thought that Yang Wenguang was a famous general and had meritorious service, so he promoted Yang Wenguang to the training envoy of the Chengzhou regiment, and the commander of the four compartments of the Longshen Guard, and moved to Xingxing. State Defense Envoy and Deputy General Manager Qin Fenglu. He thus participated in the defense operations against Xixia."

"Han Qi sent Yang Wenguang to lead his troops to build a city in Juozhen, control the main roads, and defend Xixia. Yang Wenguang first threatened to build the city with beads, and then led his troops to rush to Juozhen quickly. He arrived at the destination at dusk and repaired the city wall overnight. The fortifications were built and battle preparations were made. At dawn the next day, the Xixia cavalry arrived. Seeing that the Song army had occupied a favorable terrain, they were ready and had no choice but to retreat. Yang Wenguang took the opportunity to send his generals to attack and captured many enemies. . The emperor issued an edict to commend and reward him generously, and appointed him to know the Rong Army in Jingzhou, deputy general manager of Dingzhou Road, and move to Yuhou, the capital of the infantry army."

"There was a dispute between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty on the demarcation of the Daizhou border. Yang Wenguang presented the battle map and the strategy of capturing Youyan to the court. Before the court heard back, Yang Wenguang died in office. The Northern Song Dynasty court posthumously awarded him the same state observation make."

"As the third generation of generals of the Yang family, Yang Wenguang has not established achievements that can be compared with his grandparents, because at this time the Northern Song Dynasty had already negotiated peace with the Liao Kingdom, and the policy towards Xixia was also vacillating between peace and war, just defensive."

"Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao, and Yang Wenguang, these three are the main figures of the Yang family generals in history. The deeds of the Yang family generals serving the country in bloody battles for three generations will be passed on to future generations."

"The men in the Yang family are not bad, and the women are even more so."

(Among the female generals of the Yang family, only this one existed in history)
