In the third year of Yongxi, Song Taizong sent a three-way army to conquer the Liao State, of which Pan Mei was the chief general of the West Route Army and Yang Ye was the deputy general. At first, all roads went smoothly, and Yang Ye captured the four prefectures of Huan, Shuo, Yun, and Ying of Liao all the way, but Cao Bin in the middle of the main army was defeated. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty ordered all the people to divide the army, and later ordered Pan Mei and others to lead a large army to move the people who had recovered the four states to the interior. ”

At that time, more than 100,000 troops of the Liao State had already counterattacked and broken through Huanzhou. The Liao army had a great advantage in strength, and the task of Yang Ye and others was only to move the people, and there was no need to fight a decisive battle with the enemy. ”

At that time, Pan Mei was deployed for the three crossings, and the two of them were equivalent to the relationship between the striker and the commander. And Yang Ye, who is familiar with the geographical location, customs and folklore, is undoubtedly a reassuring pill in this war. The win-win situation brought by the cooperation between the two is not only because of Yang Ye's courage and resourcefulness, but also because of Pan Mei's close cooperation. The success of the first cooperation can only lead to a second cooperation.

Yang Ye said to Pan Mei that there was a perfect plan. Yang Ye has been fighting with the Liao State for many years, and he is more aware of the border terrain, and his judgment based on the actual situation is very correct. ”

"But the prison army Wang Xian and Liu Wenyu did not think so, and insisted on confronting the Liao State head-on, and mocked Yang Ye with cowardice."

"And Pan Mei, as the main general, is also an experienced general, so he should know what strategy to adopt when the enemy is outnumbered. And the task of this trip is not to confront the enemy, but only to move the population. ”

In the end, Yang Ye's efforts were unsuccessful, so he could only take the risk of attacking, and he made an agreement with Pan Mei to let Pan Mei deploy infantry and crossbows in the main road Chenjiagu to respond. Yang Ye knew that it would be difficult to win this trip, and Pan Mei set up an ambush in Chenjiagu to respond, and there was still hope of a successful retreat. ”

In 986 AD, after Yang Ye led the army to attack, Wang Xian and others did not get the news for a long time, thinking that the Liao army had been defeated and retreated, in order to compete for merit, led the troops to attack, and soon after advancing, they got the news of Yang Ye's defeat and retreated, and hurriedly retreated. As the main general, Pan Mei did not abide by the agreement with Yang Ye, let alone stop the unauthorized actions of his subordinates, and when he heard the news of Yang Ye's failure, he left, obviously ignoring Yang Ye's life and death. Yang Karma fought for the end of the day, and turned to Chenjiagu, but did not see the people and horses who responded, and was very sad and angry, and then led his subordinates to fight. Yang Ye was wounded in dozens of places, left and right, still stabbing dozens of enemy soldiers, Yang Ye was exhausted, and his war horse was seriously injured, and finally captured by the Liao army. Yang Ye's eldest son Yang Yanyu, as well as his generals Wang Gui and He Huaipu all fought to the death. Yang Ye was captured and died of hunger strike for three days. ”

Liu Che: The two famous generals, coupled with Yang Ye's understanding of the border, the cooperation between the two is a win-win result, which is really unpredictable!

Zhu Di: A supervising army can be the master of a general, and in the battlefield, he also plays some intrigues and tricks, but he is worthy of the position of the general!

Qin Shi Huang: This is because of merit, his eyes are red, and he has done such a villainous act.

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is right, Pan Mei and Yang Ye can be called a generation of famous generals, and the cooperation between the two can also be said to be a win-win situation, but unfortunately after all, people's hearts are unpredictable. This relationship can't help but make people sigh. ”

"If the Northern Song Dynasty doesn't do things, then it's still called the Northern Song Dynasty, even if I am a person of later generations, I feel that the Northern Song Dynasty is really unworthy, and the protection of many loyal and righteous people."

Liu Bei: It seems that this Da Song is doing something again, how can this thing defeat my big man!

Cao Cao: Tut-tut, losing to such a person is really aggrieved.

In the "History of Liao", Yang Ye's death is written in a special book, which shows their fear of Yang Ye. However, the Song Dynasty's achievements in seizing the four states of Shanxi recorded were all on Pan Mei's head. However, in the "History of Liao", it is recorded that Yang Ye captured these cities, and the Liao State fought against Yang Ye, and he did know his achievements. It can be seen that Yang Ye is good at fighting and exploiting. ”

However, the historians of the Song Dynasty recorded their merits according to the records of the Song Shu and buried Yang Ye. And Yang Ye's initial death pension is not as good as that of the junior generals and others who are lower than him, it can be seen that someone asked the historian to cover up the truth, and who made the historian distort it was Pan Mei who got the benefits.

When Yang Ye's wife Zhe knew that the pension was wrong, she wrote to Song Taizong to explain the truth, and Song Taizong issued an edict to show mercy to Yang Ye's family, Pan Mei was demoted, and Wang Xian and Liu Wenyu were cut and assigned. Yang Ye was gracious, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, the bloody battle of Chenjiagu, Yang Ye once let the surviving soldiers break through, the soldiers were unwilling, and all died in battle. ”

"Song Taizong has the ambition to unify the world, but he used people improperly and lost a brave general like Yang Ye, how could the Northern Expedition succeed?"

"Yang Ye's death, although it was obstructed and ridiculed by Wang Xian and others, but Pan Mei, as the main general, is the real mastermind, for Yang Ye's perfect plan, he will not use troops and sit back and watch Yang Ye go to a dead end, but Pan Mei is a national relative, and there is only the punishment of demotion, and Song Taizong can only make a big deal small."

Yelu Deguang: For you, although I am a foreign race, but for General Yang's great achievements, we can seek truth from facts, and we don't add oil and vinegar at all, although I am not a person from my Liao country, but for General Yang, a person who kills the enemy for the country and serves the country loyally, is admirable, unlike the Great Song Dynasty to distort the facts.

Zhao Kuangyin's table in front of the table was all swept to the ground by him angrily, his face was red, his teeth were gritted, his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable anger, and he was extremely angry.

"Someone, call the Imperial Doctor!" There was chaos in the palace......

The envoys of the other emperors in the king of the Liao State were also furious, and the great achievements of the aliens were all known and written in the "History of Liao", and the self-owned country that was loyal to the dignity was actually fabricated facts, which is really ridiculous.

The generals of various dynasties were even more angry, how to be loyal to such a country! How to report!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Zhao Kuangyin, your Great Song Dynasty has simply lost all the face of the world that we have laid down for thousands of years!

Li Shimin: Give away heads, send wealth, and now send faces, I really admire, this Great Song Emperor is a talent!

The emperor did not act, but the public opinion did not let Pan Mei go, and in the novels and dramas that circulated among the people in the future, Pan Mei was portrayed as an incompetent, insidious and shameless villain, which was really fair and free in the hearts of the people. Yang Ye is the first generation of the Yang family generals, with the most fame and the most heroic sacrifice. ”

"The representative of the second generation of the Yang family is Yang Ye's son Yang Yanzhao. Yang Yanzhao's real name is Yang Yanlang, and in order to avoid secrecy, he changed his name to Yang Yanzhao. Young Yang Yanzhao was silent, but he always liked to play the game of marching and fighting, Yang Ye said after watching it: "This child is like me." "In the future, I will definitely take Yang Yanzhao with me. Yang Yanzhao grew up in such an environment, and when he became an adult, he also became a soldier who served the country. ”
