Wang Shu was drinking tea with Ye Dong, he received the holy decree herald to come to this place, at this moment Ye Dong Wang Shu knelt on the ground, at this time Zhao Guangyi's messenger was kneeling in the place where they were kneeling, looking at these two people, and then said to the two: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: If Li Jiqian of Western Xia has been called the emperor, in order to show the style of the country, he ordered Wang Shu to go to Xingqing Mansion in Xiazhou together with Yang Ye to participate in this activity, and crowned Wang Shu as the governor of the summer festival, and Yang Ye as the deputy moderation of the summer visit, and it must not be wrong to go to Xiazhou immediately?" Chin this. ”

Wang Xu also gave the eunuch some money, and then said with a smile: "The villain obeys the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" It's been a lot of hard work for adults to come and make announcements! This is a little bit of my heart, adults must not refuse, I hope you do not refuse! But apart from letting me go with Yang Ye, what else does the emperor have to convey to you, my lord? ”

Wang Chengen accepted the money, quietly took it aside, and told Zhao Guangyi that he had to be ruthless when he told him before, and the less people knew about this time, the safer it was, which was also what he wanted Wang Chengen to say to him later. At this moment, Wang Chengen also looked at him and said to Wang Shu with a smile: "Your Excellency the Emperor asked you to promote cooperation with the Western Xia, and then deal with the Khitans together, now the territory of the Khitan State is too large, threatening the rule of the Central Plains, the official family does not want to see such a thing happening, plus we don't have enough war horses, so we can only hope for the Western Xia, with the strength of the Western Xia, we will make up for the shortage of no cavalry, and it will be much easier to deal with the Khitans at that time, this is what the official family asked me to transfer to you, If you can't complete the task, you can stay in Xiazhou forever with Yang Ye and don't have to come back, but if you complete the task, the official family will definitely reward you. This mission is very important, and the person who was by your side just now doesn't have to stay, you know! The official said that he didn't want to see people around you who had nothing to do with this matter by your side, otherwise you would know what the end would be. ”

Wang Shu smiled sinisterly at Wang Chengen: "Both of us are surnamed Wang, are you still worried about what I do?" You can rest assured! My lord, this person is still useful now, but you can stay here with peace of mind, I still have things to do? Be sure to handle things more beautifully, you can see my good news, huh. ”

He also smiled at Wang Xu's words, and then said okay! I'm waiting for you, you can go and ask him now!

Ye Dong suddenly felt an inexplicable killing intent at this time, in fact, he had no choice, could it be that he wanted to do more. This made him think of the birds hiding their bows, the cunning rabbits dying, and the lackeys cooking. But this time he was forced to do this?

I saw that he also smiled and said to Ye Dong: "Mr. Ye, this time I want to go to Xiazhou, this time I will let the emperor let me go to Xiazhou, I hope to invite you, please go and taste it, I want to invite you to have a light meal with me to express my gratitude, do you think it is feasible?" ”

At this moment, he is not easy to refuse. After all, the important information this time is too important, and when the country arranges such an important thing for itself, let himself lurk by Wang Xu's side, he also sees that Wang Shu will not hurt himself, but how could he have thought that there would be a problem this time.

Ye Dong also said okay, I will definitely go. Wang Shu is also thinking at the moment that the emperor is pushing me into a desperate situation, but if I can complete this task, I estimate that the benefits that the emperor can give me must be no better! When the time came, the emperor of Liao said that this time Yang Ye was forced into a desperate situation and killed Ye Dong. I'm so smart, I can make a lot of money this time! Ha ha.

Ye Dong, Ye Dong, you are also a smart person, you should understand that when the chess pieces are useless, they will be given up, as for the purpose of the official family, you don't know anyway, as for your death in exchange for my life, why not, haha!

During the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms in our country, the repeated change of regime led to the demise of the Northern Han Dynasty in 979 AD, all because of the Song Taizong led the troops, the Northern Han Dynasty general Yang Ye became the general of the Song Dynasty, the emperor who established the Northern Han regime attached great importance to Yang Ye, and gave the name Liu Jiye, the first to serve as the commander of the defense, and slowly established his own industry, and achieved the Jianxiong Army, Liu Jiye was also praised by the people as invincible, because he was invincible in the battlefield, and established a very deep military exploits.

However, Liu Jiye's military exploits accumulated in Northern Khan for more than 30 years cannot be recorded, and they are submerged by many historical events, and only in the history of the Song Dynasty did there appear a simple scene of the war between the two sides, and the final result was Liu Jiye's defeat. In a battle with the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Jiye was still at the last moment, and finally Liu Jiyuan personally informed him that he needed to surrender after defeat, and Liu Jiye stopped resisting. Later, Song Taizong also admired Yang Ye very much, and gave him the official position of the general of the left leading army and the defense envoy of Zhengzhou. North Korea perished, Liu Jiye returned to the Song Dynasty, and changed back to his original name, Yang Ye. After that, Yang Ye had established a lot of meritorious deeds, and his official position was slowly improved, and the Liao army was also very jealous of his prestige, as long as he saw Yang Ye's handsome banner, he immediately fled. The chief general guarding the border was also very afraid of Yang Ye, so he went to the song to slander Yang Ye, and Song Taizong directly gave Yang Ye the song, which can be seen how much Song Taizong trusted Yang Ye

Yongxi three years of the three-way army was ordered by Song Taizong to send troops to crusade against the Liao State, Yang Ye served as the Fujian of the West Route Army, Pan Mei was the main general, at the beginning it was very smooth, the West Route Army progressed very smoothly, and successfully captured the city of Liao Sichuan, but he did not expect that the main force had a problem, there was no way to proceed according to the plan, Song Taizong let all the soldiers and horses go back, together with the people who recovered the city. Empress Dowager Liao Xiao also led 100,000 troops and horses to recapture Huanzhou. On the way to relocate the people, Liu Jiye was afraid that the people would suffer, so he said that he would not have a head-on conflict with the Liao army, but Wang Xu, the superintendent, thought that Yang Ye was greedy for life and afraid of death and refused to fight.

Yang Ye argued, had to go out to fight, he agreed that if the defeat would hope that Pan Mei would organize soldiers and horses to support, Yang Ye did not have any confidence in this battle, so he kept dragging it, he both thought that he had won the battle, but found that the situation became not very optimistic, so they all fled, Yang Ye retreated while fighting, and did not wait for reinforcements when he arrived at the valley, so he and the soldiers died in the valley, and in the end all were sacrificed, but Yang Ye was captured, he preferred not to give in to the Liao army, and finally died of hunger strike. Yang Ye's sacrifice brought a great shock to the imperial court, and he was very angry, and Song Taizong relieved Pan Mei and Wang Shu from their official positions and expelled them all from the army.

The Yang family will be loyal and praised by the world in history, what about the Yang family in history?

After that, the story of Yang Jiajiang was very popular among the people during the Southern Song Dynasty, and the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty also wrote a book "Ember Yulu", which recorded the story of Yang Jiajiang also had a new interpretation, and some appeared in the form of miscellaneous dramas, and there were more and more storytelling and other ways to widely circulate the story of Yang Jiajiang's confrontation against the enemy. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the story of Yang Jiajiang brought inspiration and inspiration to people, and there were more interpretations, but based on the story of Yang Jiajiang, an opera was made. The Yang family will be loyal and praised by the world in history, what about the Yang family in history? In history, the Yang family will be very exaggerated, and now the Yang family will be even more loyal and brave, full of loyalty. Therefore, the strength of the Yang generals in history has been greatly exaggerated, and they are not as powerful as in the TV series. In the first year of the Taiping Rejuvenation (976), Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty appointed Pan Mei as the envoy of the Southern Court. In the third year of Taiping Xingguo (978), Pan Mei was crowned as the third division of Kaifu Yitong.

Song Taizong was determined to complete the cause of unifying the north, and in the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo (979), Song Taizong personally led the four-way army to besiege Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, and appointed Pan Mei as the capital of the North Road to recruit and sentence Taiyuan to do the government. The Liao soldiers came to the aid again, and Song Taizong sent troops to cut off the main route for reinforcements and surrounded Taiyuan City. There was no grain and grass in Taiyuan City, and there were no rescuers outside, so Liu Jiyuan, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, had to surrender, and the Northern Han Dynasty perished. Liu Jiyuan had a veteran named Yang Ye under him, who also belonged to the Song Dynasty. Song Taizong had long heard that Yang Ye was strong in martial arts and brave in battle, so he made Yang Ye a general. Due to the continuous incursion of the Liao army on the border of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizong sent Yang Ye to assassinate the history of Daizhou and guard the Yanmen Pass.

Song Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty and wanted to take advantage of the victory to attack the Liao State and unify the north. During the conquest of Fanyang, Pan Mei was appointed as the governor of Zhiyouzhou. The Song army attacked fiercely, and the Liao Dynasty defenders in several states surrendered one after another, and the Song army fought all the way to Youzhou (present-day Beijing). Later, the Liao Dynasty sent the general Yelu Hugo to the rescue, and the two sides fought a battle at the Gaoliang River (present-day west of Beijing), but the Song army was defeated, and Song Taizong fled back to Tokyo in a donkey cart. When the Song army retreated, Song Taizong asked Pan Mei to deploy concurrently as the Sanjiao capital, and stationed troops there to defend against the attack of the Liao State.

There is a place called Gujun in the northwest of Sanjiao, which is the throat of the north. Pan Mei led his troops to attack and occupy the place. He accumulated grain and grass and waited for the battle, but the Liao State did not dare to act rashly, and the northern border was temporarily stabilized.

Soon, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Liao State attacked, and Pan Mei secretly marched and launched an attack with lightning speed, breaking the Liao army. Song Taizong was very happy and named Pan Mei as the acting prince of the country. In the eighth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation (983), he was reappointed as the envoy of the Loyal Army and was promoted to the title of Korean Duke.

In 982 AD, after the death of the Liao lord Yeluxian, the enthroned Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu was only 10 years old, so his mother Empress Dowager Xiao ruled. Someone suggested to Song Taizong that the young lord of the Liao State was on the throne and the government was unstable, so he could take the opportunity to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. Song Taizong accepted this suggestion, and in the third year of Yongxi (986), he ordered Pan Mei, Cao Bin, and Cui Yanjin to lead a large army to the north respectively, and sent Yang Ye as Pan Mei's deputy general.

The three-way army attacked separately, and the banner was victorious, and Pan Mei and Yang Ye sent troops to Yanmen Pass, and quickly recovered four states. However, the main force led by Cao Bin was defeated by the Liao army due to the deep penetration of the lone army, and Song Taizong hurriedly ordered the retreat of all large armies.

When Pan Mei and Yang Ye received the order, they led a large army to cover the people of the four states to retreat to Langya Village. At this time, the Liao soldiers had occupied Huanzhou (now the east of Shuo County, Shanxi), and the troops were very fierce. Yang Ye suggested sending troops to feint to attract the main force of the Liao army, and then send elite soldiers to ambush on the retreating road to cover the retreat of the army and civilians.

Wang Xu, the superintendent, objected to Yang Ye's opinion and said, "We brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers and are we still afraid of them? We just marched along the Yanmen Road with great fanfare, so that the Liao army would be afraid. ”

Yang Ye said: "Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, we must fail in this way." ”

Wang Xuan said with a mocking tone: "Isn't General Yang known as Yang Invincible, why is he cowering in front of the enemy, does he have other plans?" ”

This sentence angered Yang Ye, and he said: "I'm not afraid of death, but I just see that the timing is not good for us, and I am afraid that the soldiers will die in vain." You have to fight, I can take the lead. ”

Pan Mei cherished Yang Ye as a rare general, and originally did not agree with him to be sent to death, but Wang Shu got in the way, so she had to agree against her will. Yang Ye had no choice but to lead his men and horses to set off. Before leaving, Pan Mei grabbed the reins of Yang Ye's horse and said: "General Yang must take care of himself when he goes, if he can win, he will win, and if he can't win, he will return to the army quickly, and there is no need to fight." Then he asked, "Does General Yang have anything else to explain?" Yang Ye said to Pan Mei with tears in his eyes: "This battle is definitely going to fail, I originally wanted to see the right time to hit the enemy and repay the country." Now everyone reproaches me for being afraid of the enemy, and I have to die first. ”

Then, he pointed to Chenjiayu (now south of Shuoxian County, Shanxi) in front and said: "I hope that you will ambush the infantry and crossbowmen on both sides of this valley mouth, and after my army is defeated, retreat here, you will lead your troops to respond, and attack from both sides, maybe there is hope of turning defeat into victory." ”

Yang Ye did not go far to send his troops, and was really ambushed by the Liao army. He led his troops to fight for a while, and finally couldn't resist it, so he had to lead the Liao army to Chenjiayu while fighting. When I arrived at Chenjiayu, it was time for the sun to go down. Yang Ye retreated to the valley mouth, only to see that both sides were quiet, and there was not even a shadow of the Song army. It turned out that after Yang Ye left, Pan Mei brought people to Chenjiayu to prepare to receive Yang Ye according to Yang Ye's advice, but after waiting for a day, she couldn't hear from Yang Ye. Wang Shu thought that the Liao soldiers must have retreated, and he was afraid that Yang Ye would take the lead, so he urged Pan Mei to evacuate the ambush soldiers from Chenjiayu.

Yang Ye saw that there was no one of his own to answer the agreed place, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet, so he had to lead his troops to fight with the Liao soldiers who caught up. Although Yang Ye was brave, he was finally outnumbered, defeated and captured, and died on hunger strike in Liaoying for three days.

When the news reached Tokyo, Song Taizong was very sad, he dismissed Wang Xu, and demoted Pan Mei by three levels, and made Pan Mei the inspector of the Taibao. In the second year, he was appointed as the inspector of the school and the prefect of Zhending. Soon, he was reappointed and the state was sentenced.

In the second year of Chunhua (991), Song Taizong added Pan Mei as Tongping Zhangshi, but died a few months later at the age of 67. After his death, he posthumously presented a Chinese book order, and gave him the nickname Wu Hui.

Although Yang Ye's death had a lot to do with Pan Mei's failure to insist on responding in Chenjiayu, he had no intention of framing Yang Ye, let alone deliberately putting Yang Ye to death. His mistake was that when Wang Xu, the superintendent, had selfish thoughts and asked him to withdraw his troops from Chenjiayu, Pan Mei did not insist on his own opinion, but obeyed Wang Xu's orders, resulting in Yang Yebing not receiving assistance when he retreated from Chenjiayu. Therefore, the main responsibility for Yang Ye's death lies with Wang Xu, and the secondary responsibility lies with Pan Mei.
