I said that Pan Renmei is a generation of famous generals, and some people may not understand it very well. And there is no Pan Renmei in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, his prototype is called Pan Mei, the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty.

And with the passage of time, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a book called the Romance of the Yang Family, which praised Yang Ye's loyalty and martyrdom, and also wrote Pan Renmei as a traitor.

With the widespread spread of the story of Yang Jiajiang among the people, Pan Renmei's image was also destroyed, and it was out of control in the later period.

Many film and television works even portray Pan Renmei as a despicable villain who frames Zhongliang for personal revenge by slapping horses and sloppiing his beard.

And in order to vividly reflect that the bad guys did not end well, they also finally portrayed the absurd ending of Lian Xiangkou quasi-night trial of Pan Renmei.

In fact, Pan Renmei was a famous founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty with great military exploits, and it was really wronged to write him as a traitor in the end.

It is recorded in the biography of Pan Mei in the Song Dynasty: Pan Mei, the word Zhongqing, a big celebrity. Father, with a military academy in Changshan.

The beauty is young and dignified, and the official is in the house. Wang Mi, a person in the language, said: The Han Dynasty is coming to an end, the fierce ministers are raging, and there are signs of change in the four seas.

The eldest husband does not make meritorious service and gain wealth at this time, and he is ashamed to share everything with all things. Will Zhou Shizong for the Kaifeng Mansion Yin, the United States in the trickle of Shizong.

and enthronement, and make up for the worship officer. In the battle of Gaoping, the United States moved to the west with merit as the deputy envoy of the cabinet gate. He was released from the Shaanzhou Army and changed to an envoy.

Sejong will use his divisions in Long and Shu to protect the Yongxing troops and longitude to the west. To put it simply, Pan Renmei was a big celebrity in Hebei at that time, born in a military academy, and was already a talented young general during the Zhou Shizong period.

When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was not on the throne, he also trusted him extraordinarily. When he ascended the throne, he ordered Pan Mei to summon Hou Zhou Zaifu, and Xiao Yi was righteous, so that these people would bow down to the new dynasty, and even the holy decree of changing the dynasty was also told to the world by Pan Mei.

At that time, the Shaanxi warlord Yuan Yan had different ambitions, Zhao Kuangyin was worried that Yuan Yan would make a rebellion, and ordered Pan Mei to go to the northwest to supervise his army.

In 979, Pan Mei made a northern expedition to the Khitan, won successes, and was later named the Duke of Guo. Pan Mei's southern and northern wars made great achievements for the Northern Song Dynasty, and what kind of reason or misunderstanding made him a big traitor for such a loyal minister?

In fact, this unjust case is related to the battle of the Liao and Song dynasties. In the third year of the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, the Liao army invaded the Northern Song Dynasty with more than 100,000 troops, and the Song soldiers met the enemy in the east and west.

Cao Bin commanded the East Road, Pan Mei commanded the West Road, and Yang Ye, that is, Yang Jiye in the novel, was the deputy marshal, and the Liao soldiers fought in Shuozhou.

At that time, the Liao soldiers had a strong army, and they could only outwit them, not attack them. However, Wang Yu and Liu Wenyu of the army were eager to take merit and advocated forcible taking.

According to the history of the Song Dynasty, Wang Yu's biography records that Wang Yu's secret power, Kaifeng Junyi, his father Wang Pu, once served as the privy envoy of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and became famous for his strategy of raising the border.

Although Wang Yu is a famous family, he also has military exploits, but he is a human being

"Sexual rigidity",

"Provoke Yang Ye with words, fight because of karma, fall into battle, sit and remove his name, and be subordinate to Jinzhou." Wang Yu did force the deputy marshal Yang Ye to march at that time, but Yang Ye had no choice but to obey, but agreed with Wang Yu and Pan Mei that Wang Yu and Pan Mei were responsible for placing ambush soldiers at Chenjia Valley Pass to meet him.

Wang Yu and others did set up an ambush at the mouth of Chenjia Valley, but they did not see Yang Ye's figure at noon and then withdrew, thinking that Yang Ye took advantage of the victory to pursue the Liao soldiers, but they did not know that the army led by Yang Ye at that time had suffered most of the casualties, and after no one answered at the mouth of Chenjia Valley, there was only one way to be captured.

After being captured, Yang Ye sighed and said: The court treats me very well, and I should have begged the enemy to repay the country, but I was forced by the traitorous ministers, resulting in the defeat of the king's master, what face do I have to live!

So he went on a hunger strike for three days and died. From this, it can be seen that the person who forced Yang Ye to march at the mouth of the Chenjia Valley and then withdrew the receiving troops was Wang Yu and not Pan Mei.

According to historical data, Pan Mei was able to stop Wang Yu's withdrawal at that time, so Pan Mei was not wrong, but it was just that he was wrong because he mistakenly believed Wang Yu's words, and he did not frame Zhongliang for personal revenge as the novelist wrote, not only calculating Yang Ye at the mouth of the Chen family, but also shooting Yang Qilang and so on as described in popular novels or TV series.

After Yang Ye's death, Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, only demoted Pan Mei to a third-level official when dealing with the combatants afterwards, while Wang Yu, the superintendent

"Removed from the list, affiliated to Jinzhou", Liu Wenyu

"Removed from the list, subordinate to Dengzhou". Yang Ye

"Try your best to kill the enemy, establish Myron, be honest and strong, be angry, and seek the ancients, why is it so. And Pan Mei, who was a lifelong soldier, was not punished too severely, but this mistake in his later years was enough to make him feel sorry for him, and more than a year later, Pan Mei died of depression in Taiyuan at the age of sixty-seven, which is an accurate record in the history of the Song Dynasty. Later, Pan Mei's image was slowly scandalized, a novelist in the Ming Dynasty who did not dare to reveal his real name, a copy of the Romance of the Yang Family's Mansion not only wrote Pan Mei as a traitor, but also made Pan Mei die under the knife of the loyal minister Kaifeng Mansion Yin Kouzhun, hehe, I think it's simply funny, and there is still a funny saying that the Pan and Yang families do not intermarry.
