Why did Yang Ye, who was called "Yang Wudi" on the battlefield, finally surrender to Song Taizong?

Yang Ye was called "Yang Wudi" on the battlefield. Why did he finally surrender to Song Taizong?

It is said that before Yang Ye became a general in the Northern Song Dynasty, he had been serving the Northern Han regime at that time. Yang Ye followed Liu Chong, the founder of the Northern Han Dynasty, and was given the name Liu Jiye since he was a child. He successively served as the commander of the bodyguards and the military governor. Because of his military exploits, he was given the title of "Invincible". After Liu Jiyuan inherited the Northern Han Dynasty, he served as the leading general. He fought many battles with the Northern Song Dynasty at that time but failed in the end. Later, during Song Taizong's campaign against the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Jiyuan was defeated and surrendered. Although Yang Ye held on to the city and defended it, he finally chose to surrender after Song Taizong ordered Liu Jiyuan to persuade him to surrender.

The reason why Yang Ye surrendered to Song Taizong had a lot to do with the situation at the time and himself.

From the situation point of view, although Yang Ye is said to be invincible on the battlefield, he cannot always be invincible. The Northern Han regime where he was located was defeated and surrendered by the Northern Song army led by Song Taizong. He himself could not hold on to the city. If you are no match for the opponent, surrender is undoubtedly the best option. At the same time, after the Northern Song Dynasty conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, it ended the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and became another dynasty unified by the Han people after the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the Northern Song Dynasty was backed by the entire Han people and the hope of thousands of people. Yang Ye's surrender and allegiance not only served the Northern Song Dynasty, but also served the nation.

From his own point of view, Yang Ye was a loyal and upright person, and he was unable to surrender due to Liu Chong's kindness to him. However, Song Taizong took pity on Yang Ye's talent and asked Liu Jiyuan to persuade him to surrender. With his old master's persuasion to surrender, Yang Ye not only preserved his reputation, but his reputation became even louder than before. Naturally, he had no reason to continue to be an enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty, so he surrendered.

In addition, the Northern Han Dynasty where Yang Ye was located was a regime supported by the Liao Dynasty. Liu Chong and Liu Jiyuan were both son emperors of the Liao Dynasty. This was in line with Yang Ye's inner desire to make achievements, imitate ancient famous generals, and regain the frontiers. The ideals of fighting for the nation are far apart, and Yang Ye's ambitions cannot be realized at all. On the other hand, Song Taizong unified the separatist regimes, ended the situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, resisted Xixia, and rejected the Liao. He was a promising monarch. If he surrendered to his command, he could fight against the Liao and realize his ideal of making contributions to the nation, so In order to realize his ideal, he chose to surrender after being persuaded by the Northern Song Dynasty.

Where is Yang Ye from?

Historical records vary as to where Yang Ye was from, and they can be roughly summarized into three places: Linzhou Xinqin (now the north of Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province), Bingzhou Taiyuan (now Shanxi Taiyuan) and Baode Volcano (now south of Hequ, Shanxi). How can a person have three places of origin? Where is Yang Ye's hometown? The "Baodezhou Chronicles" written during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty recorded: "Yang Ye, the old records (referring to the previously compiled "Baodezhou Chronicles") said that he was a native of this state." Although the old "Baodezhou Chronicles" was not compiled by Yang Yeshi, When Baode people record celebrities from this state, they cannot write about people who are not from this state as if they were from Baode. Moreover, according to folklore, Yang Ye's father, Yang Xin, was the "King of Volcanoes", "The Governor of Volcanoes", and "The Envoy of Volcanoes". Huoshan is a place name that belongs to Yifang County, Lanzhou, in the Tang Dynasty, close to the east bank of the Yellow River. In the Song Dynasty, the Huoshan Army and Huoshan County were established. During the Five Dynasties, when the Khitan invaded Baodou, Yang Xin gathered a crowd to build a fort in his hometown and became the leader of an armed force. "Volcano King" is probably Yang Xin's self-title or what the villagers call him. Gu Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty also mentioned that Yang Xin raised troops in the volcanic area in his "Book of Benefits and Diseases of the Prefectures and Countries of the World". He also said that he had personally visited this place and saw the ruins of a castle where Yang Xin stationed troops, which local residents called "Yangjiacheng". To this day, there are still many villages such as "Yangjiacheng" and "Yangjiazhai" dozens of miles east of the old city of Hequ. According to Yang Ye's Shanxi Bukang Jitian in the early Qing Dynasty, a tombstone of the Yang family was unearthed in Kelan Prefecture (today's Kelan County, Shanxi Province) near Hequ, which said that Mrs. Yang Ye broke the Taijun. Also, "Xunshuangzhai Diary" written by Li Ciming of the late Qing Dynasty said: "In Zhewo Village, Baodou County, Shanxi Province today, there is a stele of Taijun folded in the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu, that is, Yang Ye's wife." In the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1010) ) was the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, to say that Yang Ye was a Baode native is not only documented in writing, but also unearthed as evidence.

It is said that the Yang family was from Linzhou and Xinqin, as can be seen in Ouyang Xiu's "Yang Qi's Epitaph". The epitaph says: "Yang Junqi, courtesy name Baochen, was from Linzhou, Xinqin." Yang Qi is Yang Xin's great-grandson and Yang Ye's nephew. Therefore, based on this epitaph, later generations said that the Yang family was from Linzhou and Xinqin. In addition, "Longping Collection·Yang Ye Biography" and "Zizhi Tongjian" written by Zeng Gong of the Northern Song Dynasty also said that Yang Ye was from Linzhou. This was because Yang Xin served as the governor of Linzhou in the Later Han Dynasty, and his family moved to Linzhou at that time. state. Yang Xin later died in Linzhou. Since his eldest son Yang Ye was not around, the post of governor of Linzhou was inherited by his second son Yang Chongxun. Yang Qi is the grandson of Yang Chongxun. Ouyang Xiu calls Yang Qi a native of Linzhou Xinqin, which makes sense because Yang Qi's great-grandfather has already moved to Linzhou. Of course, in terms of origin, Yang Qi should be said to be from Baode.

"Song History" says that Yang Ye was from Taiyuan, Bingzhou. In the early years of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Yang Ye was summoned by Emperor Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty to serve in Taiyuan. He served in the Northern Han Dynasty for twenty-nine years and lived in Taiyuan for a long time, so the "History of the Song Dynasty" said that he was from Taiyuan, Bingzhou. In fact, both Yang Ye's ancestral home and his own place of birth are Baode. It is unreasonable to say that he is from Taiyuan, Bingzhou.

Is the famous Northern Song Dynasty general Pan Mei the murderer of Yang Ye? On what basis?

Of course Yang Ye was not killed by Pan Mei. The person who killed Yang Ye was Wang_, the supervisor of the Song Dynasty. Yang Ye, the famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, was actually a general of the Northern Han Dynasty. Yang Yes was born in Taiyuan City, Bingzhou, and was the son of Yang Hongxin, the magistrate of Linzhou in the Later Han Dynasty. After the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty, he followed Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty and served as the escort commander. He was brave and good at fighting and made many military exploits. He was promoted to the military commander of the Jianxiong Army. Named "Yang Wudi". In the fourth year of Taiping and Xingguo (979), the Northern Han Dynasty finally surrendered under the leadership of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. Yang Ye returned to the Song Dynasty and was favored by Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty. He was still assigned to garrison at the frontier, but the enemy changed from the Song army to the Liao Dynasty. military. Pan Mei

Pan Mei, who was born with the given name, was one of the founding generals of the Song Dynasty, and was also known as Cao Bin. When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin released his military power over a glass of wine, Pan Mei's place of office and official title were not touched. Why? On the one hand, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Pan Mei had a strong relationship. The key was that Pan Mei was cautious and good at expressing her sincerity. Every time she went out to lead troops, she would leave her relatives in Kyoto as hostages. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin felt at ease with him. After Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, he also loved Pan Mei very much and was named Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and then he was named Han Gong and Zhongwu Army Jiedu Envoy.

Yang Ye was a general in the Northern Han Dynasty who fought against the Liao Dynasty. In Chinese opera, he is called Yang Jiye, the husband of Taijun She. After Song Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, he appointed Yang Ye as the governor of Zhengzhou City. Later, because of his frequent contributions to the Song Dynasty's fight against the Liao Dynasty, he was promoted to the Shishi Envoy of the Jianxiong Army. Yang Ye was a surrendered general in the Northern Han Dynasty, but he eventually starved to death in order to improve his integrity. After Song Taizong announced the mystery of Yang Ye's death, he issued an edict to punish Pan Mei, Wang _ and Liu Wenyu based on the passing of an incident. However, Mohou Chen Yongyong was fine. As one of the supervisors, Nothing happened to him. Before the expedition, although Yang Ye had different opinions on development strategies and had quarrels with Wang _ and Liu Wenyu, he had no intention of being jealous or framed. Their thoughts are different, but their purpose is the same. In order to better resist the Liao army.

The name of Yang Yeben, the old prince of the Yang family, was Yang Chonggui. He was a surrendered general of the Northern Han Dynasty. He first stationed at the border fortress for the Northern Han Dynasty. He has been fighting against the Liao army and has never been defeated. Yang Yeyixia's awareness of defense is relatively serious. At that time, Yang Ye was loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan alliance, but he had always been resistant to the Khitan. When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin attacked the Khitan, Yang Ye actually suggested that the Northern Han Dynasty take the initiative to attack the Khitan, and said: If the Khitan forgets its interests and abandons its trust, it will destroy our country one day! It can be said that in the early days of Yang Ye's surrender to the Song Dynasty, Yang Ye's military power and Pan Mei's reputation in the Northern Song Dynasty did greatly improve the Song army's combat capabilities. However, as "Yang Wudi" became famous, Tang Taizong felt a little uneasy about this surrendered general. The mystery of Yang Ye's death, although Pan Mei severely punished him, was not his intention to frame the case, but was caused by many reasons

What were the consequences of the capture of the famous Northern Song Dynasty general Yang Ye?

Yang Ye, a famous general in the early Northern Song Dynasty, whose original name was Chonggui, was the son of Yang Hongxin, the governor of Linzhou in the Later Han Dynasty. Yang Ye is brave, good at fighting, resourceful, and has repeatedly made military exploits, so he is known as "Yang Wudi".

In the third year of Yongxi's reign, that is, at the beginning of 986, the Song army attacked Khitan in three groups. Pan Mei was the marshal and Yang Ye was the deputy marshal. They sent troops from Yanmen Pass and launched an all-out attack on the Liao Kingdom.

At the beginning, the Song army was victorious. Later, the Liao army launched a massive counterattack, and the Song army had no choice but to retreat. He was forced to withdraw from the four states of Huan, Shuo, Ying and Yun. But the people in these four states were all from the Central Plains, so Song Taizong ordered the people in these four states to be moved back to the interior.

Yang Ye's army covered the people and retreated even more slowly. There were more and more Liao soldiers, and Yang Ye had to lead his troops to fight while retreating.

Finally, he led more than 100 Song soldiers to the entrance of Chenjia Valley. Pan Mei, who had made an appointment in advance to come to rescue her, ran away without looking back. There was not a single Song soldier at the entrance of Chenjia Valley. Yang Ye led his troops to attack left and right, and was seriously injured, and was finally captured.

Yang Ye fought against the Liao army

After Yang Ye was captured, the Liao generals persuaded him to surrender, but he refused: "I was born a Han and died a Han ghost, so why should I surrender?" "Yang Ye refused to eat or drink and died after three days of hunger strike.

Although Yang Ye died for the country, his descendants continued to guard the border and resist enemy soldiers. His son Yang Yanzhao guarded the Hebei border for more than 20 years. He defeated the Liao army many times and made great military exploits.

Yang Yanzhao’s son Yang Wenguang is also a general. He fought against the Xixia Kingdom in the northwest and made military exploits. The heroic deeds of three generations of the Yang family in killing enemies have been admired by the people for thousands of years.

Introduction to Yang Ye (Yang Jiye)

Introduction to Yang Ye:

Yang Ye’s alias is Yang Jiye, a native of Shaanxi. In 979, the Song Dynasty destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and Yang Ye returned to China. In the Song Dynasty, he served as General Wei, the right-leading army, and the governor of Zhengzhou. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Song court tried to use the method of war against the Liao Dynasty to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. Yang Ye was ordered to garrison the Daizhou front line. In the fifth year of the Song Dynasty (980), Liao Jingzong led an army of 100,000 to attack Yanmen.

Yang Ye led his army to raid the Liao army, and the Liao army returned in defeat. In April of the seventh year (982), the Liao army split up to attack the Song Dynasty. Yang Yetong defeated the Liao army at Yanmen Pass, killing 3,000 Liao soldiers and capturing more than 10,000.

In 986, the Song army attacked Liao in three directions. Yang Ye, his commander Pan Mei and others attacked the four prefectures of Keyun, Ying, Huan and Shuo. However, the Song army on the east route was defeated at Qigou Pass. The Liao army took advantage of the victory and launched a massive counterattack. Pan Mei, Yang Ye and others were ordered to cover the retreat of the people in the four states.

Yang Yeli led his troops to Yingzhou to lure the Liao army eastward to ensure the people's southward retreat along the Shijie Valley. He also stationed a thousand crossbowmen at the mouth of the valley, with cavalry in the middle to support them, blocking the Liao army from moving south. .

But Pan Mei and the supervisor Wang_ forced him to lead his army straight to Shuozhou. Yang Ye knew that this trip would be a failure. Before setting off, he agreed with Pan and Wang to lead their troops to meet at Chenjiagukou. He then led his troops to risk his own life to meet the enemy in order to cover the retreat of the army and the people. But when Pan and Wang heard that Yang Yejun was trapped in a tight siege, they ignored Yang Yejun and fled first.

Yang Ye fought to the death and broke through to the entrance of Chenjia Valley. Seeing that there were no reinforcements to respond, he led his remaining troops to fight hard with the enemy. In the end, he was outnumbered, wounded and fell off his horse and was captured. He died without eating for three days, leaving almost no troops. One person survived.

After Yang Ye's death, the Song Dynasty listened to the slanderous words and gave him half of the items that a fifth-rank official deserved. Later, it was learned that Yang Ye died on a hunger strike for three days and was very heroic. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to express his condolences, saying that Yang Ye was sincere and arrogant, and punished Pan Mei and others.

Extended information:

Yang Ye has been good at riding and shooting since he was a child, loves hunting, and has strong martial arts. He entered the Northern Han Dynasty in Taiyuan in his twenties and was trusted and reused by the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. .

At that time, Song Taizu had established the Song Dynasty, and national unification was just around the corner. Yang Jiye proposed to the Northern Han emperor that he should return to the Song Dynasty, but he was opposed. However, he has always been loyal to the Northern Han regime.

Later, the Northern Han Dynasty was defeated, but Yang Jiye was still fighting hard with the Song army in the south of the city. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty had long heard that Yang Jiye was a brave general and wanted to win him over. He forced the subjugated emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty to arrange for his close associates to persuade him to surrender.

Seeing that the emperor sent people to persuade him to surrender, Yang Jiye burst into tears and surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty appointed him as General Wei, the leader of the left army, and he was responsible for the deployment of troops and horses stationed in Daizhou and Sanjiao.

He was stationed in Daizhou and defeated the Liao army in the Battle of Yanmen. He was nicknamed "Yang Wudi" from then on. The Liao army retreated one after another when they saw Yang Ye's flag.

The first leader of the Yang family generals was Yang Ye. Why did he surrender to Song Taizong in the end?

Yang Ye was a Han general. Whether he served in the Northern Han Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, he always served the Han people. So when Song Taizong sent his troops northward, Yang Ye could choose to surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty, just because the Northern Song Dynasty was the territory of the Han people.

Northern Han Dynasty

Everyone knows that before the Northern Song Dynasty unified the world, the world was fragmented, with political power everywhere in the southeast, northwest and northwest. In order to restore the unification of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty started from the beginning of the founding of the country. , they were non-stop fighting against various political countries, and the Northern Han Dynasty was one of the goals of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Northern Han Dynasty was a political power established in the north of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was the empire of the Han Emperor Liu Chong. Originally, according to Liu Chong's idea, he wanted to become the emperor who unified the world. It was a pity that the Northern Han Dynasty had a small land and a harsh environment. There was also the Khitan, a powerful neighbor, so the national power and military capabilities of the Northern Han Dynasty were not much better. Coupled with the emergence of Zhao Kuangyin, the great hero of the Song Dynasty, Liu Chong completely lost his dream of unification. In order not to be swallowed up by the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Chong even sought refuge with the Khitan for protection

Disagreement

Yang Ye is the most powerful general under Liu Chong. I don’t know how many tough battles he fought with Liu Chong and how many military exploits he made for the Northern Han Dynasty. It can be said that Yang Ye is the fierce general who helped stabilize the country in the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu Chong himself thought highly of Yang Ye, and Yang Ye followed Liu Chong because of Liu Chong's ambition to unify the world. It's just a pity that during this process, the reality broke the Northern Han Dynasty's dream of unification. Although Yang Ye had some objections to Liu Chong's attachment to the Khitan, in order for the Northern Han Dynasty to survive and slowly realize the dream of unification in the future, Yang Ye reluctantly Continue to serve the Northern Han Dynasty. In other words, there is a prerequisite for Yang Ye to continue to be loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty, that is, the world must belong to the Han people

Northern Song Dynasty Conquered Han

If Song Taizong did not conquer Northern Han Dynasty, maybe Yang Ye was loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty until his death, but because of the Northern Song Dynasty's army approaching the city, Yang Ye's ideals and reality collided deeply. Facing the Northern Song army, Yang Ye did not flinch. He followed the principle that a loyal minister and a general should have the consciousness to fight to the death with the Northern Song army and have the consciousness to serve the Northern Han Dynasty with his life. But it is a pity that Liu Jiyuan, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty at that time, did not trust Yang Ye and even took away his military power. Of course, this was not the most terrifying thing. Liu Jiyuan actually asked the Khitan for military support. In the end, the Khitan army occupied the entire Northern Han Dynasty. Maybe the Northern Song Dynasty would return due to the failure of the Khitan army's assistance, but would the Northern Han Dynasty still be the original Han country at that time?

So out of persistence in his ideals and the responsibilities of a patriotic general, Yang Ye chose to surrender to Song Taizong. It is true that he became a surrender minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, but he did not become a sinner of the nation.
