First of all, let's explain the question that the Yang family is a general.

Straw saw a lot of comments, all of them were spraying the Yang family, saying that the Yang family was a general, what kind of hero and what kind of loyal minister!

For this question, Straw would like to explain a few words.

Yang Ye surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, not after being defeated, he chose to surrender.

The Great Song Dynasty launched two wars against the Northern Han Dynasty, the first was the Northern Expedition led by Zhao Kuangyin, which reached the city of Taiyuan at that time and was forced back by the Northern Han Company and the Liao State.

The second Northern Expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty was led by Zhao Guangyi.

When Zhao Guangyi was on the Northern Han Dynasty, Yang Ye fell ill, and the family accompanied him in Taihang Mountain to recuperate.

When Zhao Guangyi hit the city of Northern Han, the main force of the Northern Han Dynasty was not able to do it, so he voted decisively.

After the Northern Han Dynasty was voted for, Zhao Guangyi knew that Yang Ye was a talent when he was purging the remnants.

sent people to surrender before and after, but Yang Ye refused to surrender.

At this time, someone gave Zhao Guangyi an idea, saying that he should let the queen of the Northern Han Dynasty write a letter to Yang Ye and ask Yang Ye to surrender.

The queen of the Northern Han Dynasty decisively wrote to Yang Ye and ordered Yang Ye to surrender.

In other words, Yang Ye was not sorry for the Northern Han Dynasty, nor was he loyal to himself. On the contrary, the queen of the Northern Han Dynasty was sorry for him and sold him.

What does this mean, it shows that Yang Ye is not a demoted general, at most he is a selling general.

After the Yang family arrived in the Great Song Dynasty.

Actually, it's not much.

Zhao Guangyi had the intention to promote Yang Ye as a confidant and gave him a lot of authority.

However, the people who put the gate looked red and often suppressed them.

So after Yang Ye arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he was actually not doing well.

But Yang Ye is still loyal to his duties.

A great victory at Yanmen Pass made him completely famous.

The Yang family's life is a little better.

However, immediately after that, the Yongxi Northern Expedition began.

The left army, with Pan Mei as the commander and Yang Ye as the vanguard, marched from Daizhou, fought from Chenjiakou, and fought all the way to Liao.

The left army marched all the way, but Cao Bin's department, as the Chinese army, was blocked.

Zhao Guangyi, who likes remote command, is unhappy.

The left army has only a little strength, and it is so fierce. There are so many people in the Chinese army, but they can't beat others, Cao Bin, have you released the water?

So Zhao Guangyi ordered Cao Bin's whole army to fight fiercely.

Then he fell into the strategy of Jeruxiu to lure the enemy into depth, and was defeated and returned.

Cao Bin was defeated, and Yang Ye, as the vanguard of the left army, fell into a situation where he was alone and went deep, and finally fought to the death.

Several of his sons died.

Speaking of which, Straw just wanted to ask, is Yang Ye a general? Isn't Yang Ye a loyal minister?

Go on......

The Song army was defeated and withdrew to the Great Song Dynasty.

Pan Mei helped Zhao Guangyi carry the pot of defeat and was demoted.

The following year, he was reinstated.

In the entire Yongxi Northern Expedition, except for the worst death of the Yang family, nothing else happened.

Zhao Guangyi knew that he was at a loss, and secretly wanted to make up for the Yang family, so he appointed Yang Yanzhao to lead the troops in the northwest.

Since Yang Yanzhao took office, although he has not done any major things, he has not done any major battles.

But when the Liao invaded the south, they still died on the battlefield.

Two generations died fighting for the country?

Does this count as a loyal minister?

Then there is the third-generation Yang Wenguang.

Yang Wenguang is a little better than his father, Yang Wenguang enlisted in the army since he was a child, fought in the north and south all his life, survived to the age of seventy, was still on the front line, and finally died in office, and when he was dying, he also gave the emperor a strategic note to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun!

Is this considered a loyal minister?

Three generations of loyal martyrs, how did they become generals and slaves of the three surnames when they got into the mouths of some people? I'll smack you in the face!

If you don't know history, don't speak, learn it, and then speak when you understand it clearly.

National heroes are not so insulted.

Let's talk about the character of Yang Ye in this book, this is a foolish character, from the beginning, his thoughts in his heart are unwavering, and everything is in the interests of the king. Even if it is to put the name of the whole family on it.

Although it has changed slightly in the persecution again and again, it is still inseparable from a foolish and loyal heart.

Therefore, after Yang Qi founded the Northwest Four Mansions, he has been in a state of contradiction.

Many people may think that this character is not too silly to describe.

In fact, everyone is judging him with the eyes of our modern people, and it is different from another angle.

In ancient times, foolish people abounded, because the contradictions caused by foolishness also abounded.

For example, when the Qing Dynasty died, there were still many people who refused to cut their braids, and they had to guard his braids and bow down to death.

A small number of old and young people even did not hesitate to sell the country in order to restore the country.

This is all a manifestation of foolish loyalty.

Some foolish and loyal people, for the sake of the king, abandon their wives and children, and the nine clans are still exterminated, and they are the kind that have no regrets. Therefore, it is a terrible thing to say that foolish loyalty, but it abounded in ancient times, and it is normal for modern people to be difficult to understand.
