Many of his ideas are still as relevant in our current environment as they were then. "These are not compliments. It is less than 6,000 words, with unique form, rigorous structure and profound content. Its description of war issues reflects the revolutionary and progressive nature of the landlord class in the emerging period; it reveals many operating principles with universal laws, It still retains the brilliance of its truth; in philosophy, it is always full of simple materialism and rich dialectics.

As the most famous national hero in Chinese history, Marshal Yue’s deeds are still widely circulated among the people.
Some of Yue Fei’s most famous things:
My mother-in-law tattoo. : Loyal to the country
Yue Fei fought against the Jin: Yue Fei entered the Central Plains to fight against the Jin, defeated Jin Wushu, and regained Yingchang, Caizhou, Zhouchen, Zhengzhou, Yancheng and other counties in one fell swoop. The excited general said: "Go directly to Huanglong Mansion and drink with all the kings! "The 8th Jin Army lamented that "it is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army."
Yue Fei died of injustice: he was jealous of talents, and finally Yue Fei was killed by the traitor Qin Hui.
Yue Fei has a military exploit: "Two Thousand Two Hundred Years Later"
In addition to military work, Yue Fei also left a famous song for future generations: "Man Jiang Hong"
Yue Fei is an ancient Chinese military administrator. The Yue Family Army became a temporary model. Although Yue Fei has no military works handed down from generation to generation, the main contents of his military thoughts can be seen from the scattered discussions in history books and military practice. Six aspects: excellence is not expensive; I want to train; fair rewards and punishments; strict orders; serious discipline; sharing the joys and sorrows.
Because the core of these six aspects is to strictly manage the army. Yue Fei was rigorous in running the army and was good at running the army, so the "Yue Family Army" was very powerful in combat and was an "always victorious general". Jin people also praised: "It is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Yue Family Army" to some generals at that time. It left a deep impression and was imitated by some famous generals in later generations. For example, the famous Ming Dynasty general Qi Jiguang used Yue Fei as an example to cultivate a powerful anti-Japanese army, Qi Jiajun.
Yue Fei not only emphasized the need for courage in combat, And they paid more attention to the role of strategy. As early as when Yue Fei was under Zhang, Zhang heard that Yue Fei was the "number one in the three armies" and asked him: "Can you play geometry?" Yue Fei said: "Don't be brave, but you can use troops first." ". He cited the example of "Luan dragging firewood to defeat Jingjing, Mo Ao gathered firewood to hang it" in the Spring and Autumn Period, thinking that this was a "first-rate strategy." So Yue Fei further affirmed the role of strategy in battle. He said: " It's also an opportunity to win or lose.
Therefore, we have to teach it not because it is brave, but because it has no plan. "This clearly points out that strategy is the key to determining the outcome of a battle.
Yue Fei emphasized the flexibility of using troops. In the Song Dynasty, "follow the lead", generals must follow the prescribed laws and must not change without authorization. Yue Fei believes that the battle plan There are certain limitations, battles are ever-changing, and battle plans cannot be copied. He said: “The key to a strategist is surprise and unpredictability, so that he can win. If he suddenly encountered an enemy in the plain wilderness, why not spend all his time? "So he put forward the idea that "the art of war after the war is perfect, the art of war is wonderful, and the mind is there". In addition, Yue Fei also proposed that "those who are good at observing the enemy should know their origin; those who are good at controlling the enemy should pay attention to their dependence. "
3. Huo Qubing
It is also a battle against foreign enemies. Fight like a god and deserve the respect of future generations.
Huo Qubing, the general of the early Han Dynasty Wei Qing The nephew was good at riding and shooting since childhood. At the age of 18, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered him to attack the Huns together with Wei Qing, and later made him the leader of Yao Yao.
In combat practice. Huo Qubing focused on learning and training, and soon became a resourceful and brave general. In one battle, Huo Qubing led 800 cavalry alone to attack the enemy hundreds of miles away from the main force, and captured thousands of Xiongnu troops. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty discovered that Huo Qubing was a traitor. He was a rare general, so he made an exception and made him the number one scholar, allowing him to lead the army in battles, making him the young commander in chief after Wei Qing.
In March of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Huo Qubing the general. , ordered him to lead 10,000 cavalry to counterattack the Xiongnu army, forcing Hexi to use powerful cavalry to open up the road to the Western Regions and remove the threat from Chang'an's flanks. Huo Qubing, who was only 20 years old, set off immediately after accepting the mission and led his army across Wushaoling. The Xiongnu rushed all the way across the Yanqi Mountains, killed the Xiongnu King Luhu and Zhelan, and captured the prince Xie Hun and others. They killed more than 8,900 enemies, and the Xiongnu King and others escaped together with the defeated army. . This was the first time that Huo Qubing led an army on his own in a far-reaching battle. He initially gained experience in long-distance attacks by cavalry groups, laying the foundation for a comprehensive counterattack against the Huns in the Mobei War.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the summer of this year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo Qubing and Gongsun Ao to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Hexi from the north. In addition, Zhang Nuo and Li Guang led more than 10,000 cavalry. The Huns attacked Zuo Wangxian from Youbeiping.
After Huo Qubing and Gongsun Ao divided their forces and went north, Gongsun Ao was unable to join the battle because he was lost. He continued to advance according to the plan. Characteristics, decided to avoid the enemy's front, wedge into the northwest with lightning speed, go around the enemy's flank, launch a sudden attack to the southeast via Juyanze, and fight with the Xiongnu Anian and Xiutu King's troops at the foot of the Qilian Mountains A fierce battle was launched and a huge victory was achieved. 2,500 people surrendered, more than 100 people including princes, prime ministers, generals, and surnames were captured, and about 30,000 people were killed. In this battle, Huo Qubing committed himself with amazing courage.
The army gave up its life and never thought about home again. Once, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a beautiful house for him and invited him to see it. He replied: "The Huns have not been destroyed." They have no home. ". In 117 BC, he died of illness at the age of 24.
4. Surname
Han Xin is a famous founding hero of the Han Dynasty and a wonderful flower in China's military history. He was from Huaiyin, Jiangsu.
At the end of Qin Dynasty, all the heroes in the world attacked Qin, among which Xiang Liang was the most powerful. Han Xin devoted himself to studying the art of war and wanted to defect to Xiang Liang. When he was walking on Huaiyin Street, he had a sword on his waist. . A bad boy didn’t like him and said, “You look proud. In fact, you are just a useless guy. If you dare, you will kill me. If you don't dare, then crawl into my crotch. Han Xin was furious, but he thought: "Of course I can kill him with a sword, but what's the point?" A man of courage can endure temporary humiliation, so why argue with this guy? Without saying a word, he bent down and crawled over the young delinquent's legs.
Han Xin joined Xiang Liang's army and made many military exploits. After Xiang Liang's death, Xiang Yu succeeded to the throne. Han Xin hinted to Xiang Yu many times that Xiang Yu despised him, so he was never reused. Han Xin and Chu Ying believed that there was no opportunity for development, so they resolutely went to Hanzhong to join Liu Bang.
Han Xin finally got his wish, showing his lifelong ambition; first, he led his troops in the Northern Expedition and secretly crossed the border to regain Guanzhong. Then he entered Zhao and ordered two hundred thousand soldiers to attack Zhao. Staff officer Li Zuojun said: "The Han army has come a long way. Because the road is narrow, of course it cannot help the army. Please give me 30,000 people to grab their dining cars. Once the Han army's supply line is cut off, Han Xin will not be able to fly." Chen Yu refused. Li Zuojun decided to confront the Han army based on his suggestion. Han Xin knew the enemy's situation well and marched forward. He took up a small road in the middle of the night and sent 2,000 light cavalry to sneak into the enemy's rear and teach them to wait for the two armies to fight. The Zhao army was in the nest, so they sneaked into the enemy camp and hoisted the Han army flag. After everything was arranged, Han Xin sent troops across the river to counterattack. Chen Yu saw the mentality of underestimating the enemy. It turns out that fighting behind the water is a taboo for military strategists, but the Han army was not vigilant. It can be seen that Han Xin did get a false reputation, so Chen Yu ordered the Zhao army to go to their home base, thereby greatly reducing the Han army. When he returned in triumph, he saw that his base at Jingxingguan had been replaced with the flag of the Han army. Chen Yu was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment; the Han army that had retreated to the waterside retreated back, and cooperated with the Han army in the pass to attack from both sides, and Zhao's entire army was wiped out. Han Xin offered a reward for Li Zuojun's capture and received him sincerely. Li Zuojun was deeply moved and volunteered to stay and play with Han Xin.
After Zhao was destroyed, Han Xin adopted the suggestion, persuaded the prince to surrender alone, and occupied Linzi City in the first battle. Even Lord Long Qi and the 200,000 Chu troops sent by Xiang Yu to support Qi were completely wiped out. Han Xin's military power, Liu Bang immediately named him King of Qi. In the last Chu-Han War, Han Xin led hundreds of thousands of troops south to help Liu Bang besiege Xiang Yu, forcing Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Wujiang River and unify the world. Liu Bang established the Han Empire.
Liu Bang was a suspicious person. Since Han Xin was Gao Zhen's master, he planned to demote Gao Zhen to the title of Marquis of Huaiyin, deprive him of military power, and finally frame him to death. It's a pity that Han Xin tried his best to help Liu Bang become a big shot, but ended up with such a tragic ending.
5. Qi Jiguang
is known as the first famous anti-Japanese war by later generations.
Qi Jiguang was a famous anti-Japanese soldier and strategist in the Ming Dynasty. Jing's character is named Nan Tanghe. Dengzhou, Shandong. Originally from Weihui, Henan. First of all, he was born in Dingyuan, Anhui and Jining, Shandong. In the coastal areas of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, after more than ten years and more than 80 wars, the enemy was finally eliminated.

He reformed and invented various fire attack weapons; his warships and chariots made the Ming army's waterway equipment superior to the enemy; he creatively built a hollow enemy platform on the Great Wall, which was a unique military project.
6. Li Shimin
He is a famous military strategist and calligrapher in history. He created the famous "Reign of Zhenguan" and pushed China's feudal society to its peak.
In the eighteenth year of Huang Kai, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was born in Jingzhao Wugong.
His father, Li Yuan, attacked the "Tang Guogong", which later became the famous "Eight Pillar Kingdom"; my mother, Ge Dushi, was also from a noble family, the daughter of the high-ranking Du family, and was very prestigious at the time.
Li Shimin is the second son of Li Yuan and Queen Mother Dou. Above him, there is a big brother. Under him, there are third brother Xuanpachi and fourth brother Yuanji. When he was four years old, a kind-hearted man saw him and said: "The appearance of dragons and phoenixes on this day will definitely help the world and the people when they are twenty years old." When he grew up, he was indeed personable and was famous in the world at that time. "Taiyuan Young Master".
In 615 AD, at the age of sixteen, he married a noble daughter at the instruction of his father. Shi was the later famous Empress Changsun. For the next two years, he participated in his father's rebellion against the Sui Dynasty. According to historical records, a large number of talents gathered around him at that time. For example, the second volume of "Old Book of Tang", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", once called him this: "Every time he beats a corporal, pushes money to meet guests, or steals a hero, he is unwilling to do so." When he first debuted, he led troops to capture the Xihe River. profit. "Wen Daya also said in "Yue Wu Mu Ji" that he "secretly visited friends in Jinyang". Compared with his brothers, he was indeed a precocious political genius.
When Li Shimin was eighteen years old At that time, that is, in 617 AD, he and his father Li Yuan raised troops from Taiyuan. He led the army to fight against his master, and soon defeated the Sui army, invaded Chang'an, and destroyed the Sui Dynasty. The great hero was called the "King of Qin".
After repeated defeats, the separatist forces in various places were gradually eliminated: cutting off Li's traces, killing Xue's son, breaking Liu Wuzhou. The battle of Hulao Pass was eliminated. At that time, there were two major separatist forces in the Central Plains: Wang and Dou Jiande. From then on, Li Shimin's prestige became higher and higher, especially after he took over Chang'an after the Battle of Hulao Pass.
As he became more and more popular, the relationship between Li Shimin and his brother gradually became subtle. At this time, his third brother Xuan Ba ??was dead, and his eldest brother formed a coalition with his fourth brother Yuan Ji to deal with him. They plotted to kill Li Shimin several times. But they all failed.
On June 4, 626, at the suggestion of his guests, Li Shimin launched a coup at Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of Chang'an City, and his brother Wendell Dickinson eliminated Cheng Jianhe in one fell swoop. Yuan Ji's army became the sole heir to the dynasty.
On August 9, he forced his father Tang Gaozu to abdicate, and he ascended the throne as emperor.
During the reign of Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty. The country was so powerful that it was known as the "Reign of Zhenguan". In 69 years, he suffered from dysentery, and treatment failed. In May of the following year, he died of illness in "Fengtang", Zhongnanshan Villa, and was buried more than 50 miles northeast of Liquan County, Shaanxi Province. A mountain in memory of Zhao Ling. His posthumous title is "Emperor Wen"
7. Tian Lei fought on the battlefield in Qishan for 37 years, occupying more than 70 cities and wiping out hundreds of enemies. Ten thousand people were never defeated, and only ten thousand people conquered the capital of Chu. Especially after several fierce battles, Zhao Han's power was greatly weakened and he could no longer resist Qin Bing's eastward advance, which also laid the foundation for Qin's unification. Basic. Sima Qian praised Tian Lei for "foreseeing changes in the enemy's situation and exploring the world unexpectedly".
Tian Lei needs to avoid the battle of Yique and collapse every time. The Battle of Ying was changed to a water attack; the Battle of Huayang was a long-range attack; the Battle of Changping pretended to be lost, cutting off the enemy's food routes, falling apart, and finally making people panic.
Tian Lei likes to fight and fight. He carried out several long-range raids. This is very different from "Don't chase" in "On Practice"
Tian Lei likes to kill people, seize cities, and attack cities, probably the same as Sun Tzu Yun. : “When we get into the army, we attack the city. "Tian Lei also believed in this theory, so he had to massacre every war and wiped out more than 1.6 million enemies in the decades before and after. An effective force to resist the enemy. Later generations called him the War Demon. Later generations praised him Although he used troops skillfully, he was ridiculed for killing innocent people. However, few people thought about it from the perspective of the war situation at that time. Especially when he later announced that he was ill, he had a strategic vision. The situation was discussed in depth. Therefore, Tian Lei could become the first general in the Warring States Period.
He was good at fighting, but he was not smart, so Zhao did not listen to the situation analysis and did not send troops to attack him.
He said behind his back: "What will happen today if you don't listen to the minister's plan?
This is just a complaint because the winner will use him again, but he loses face. "I don't know anything. Know, do nothing, but I must be freed from sin; though not innocent, punishment is inevitable. Chen Ningfu was severely punished and died, but he could not bear the humiliation. "This means that I know that this expedition has absolutely no chance of winning, but it can prove my innocence; although not participating in the battle itself is innocent, I will be punished. I would rather die of torture than become a useless soldier."
Tian Lei lost face and the King of Qin was very angry. As a result, Tian Lei's official status disappeared and he was driven to the border. It happened that he was seriously ill and could not leave for the time being. As a result, the King of Qin was defeated. Very angry. So he must die.
A good beginning may not have a good ending, but Tian Lei is still a famous star.
Cao Cao's commander is also very distinctive. He is the most obedient commander in the history of Chinese wars. His obedience here is not to be dominated by others, but to be good at and dare to listen to the correct suggestions of his subordinates. This is why Cao Cao has so many counselors. For example, Xun_, the first counselor, was called "my ovary" by Cao Cao. In addition, Cao Cao had many counselors in China, including Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Xun You, and Xu You. >
Cao Cao was the first military strategist in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. He studied Sun Tzu's art of war and had profound military theories. He had read the works of Sun Wu, Wu Qi and other military strategists. He wrote a book "History of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty" and discussed it based on his own war experience. He was the first to edit and annotate 13 articles in "Notes on the Entrepreneurship of the Tang Dynasty", which enriched and developed the ancient Chinese military theory of "Soldiers Follow Righteousness". His view of war emphasized the importance of being disciplined and moral, being flexible in strategy and tactics, and being brave in everything he did.
In leading the army, he managed the army with strict regulations. During a march, Cao Cao ordered the horses not to trample the wheat fields. If they did anything illegal, they would be beheaded. The soldiers dismounted and walked to avoid trampling the wheat seedlings. Cao Cao was frightened and stepped onto the wheat field. He pulled out his sword and cut off a lock of hair as punishment. The law enforcement is serious. "Zhenguan", "Historical Records of Tian Lei Wang Jian" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" are included in "Introduction to Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "A Brief Explanation of Sun Tzu's Art of War", which also reflects his strict military orders.
In terms of military use, history books say that he "marched with one division, which was more in line with Sun Wu's method, but he was unexpected, defeated the enemy, and became like a god." "After writing hundreds of thousands of words on military affairs, they were all conquered and new books were published. They will be punished in the future, and those who violate the doctrine will be defeated." In a series of battles with Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao, Ma Chao, Han Sui, etc. During the battle. Tactics such as diversion, escaping reality, ambush, outflanking, surprise attack, alienation, grabbing food, attacking the enemy, abandoning objects to lure the enemy, etc. Often used to win and turn weak into strong. He is truly an outstanding military strategist. Li Jing's "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and He Qufei's "Wu Wei's Military Order" both praise Cao Cao's marching and fighting.
As for the royal generals, Cao Cao was banned and happily joined the ranks, while Zhang Liao and Huang Xu were both dead. They were all known as famous soldiers. Play to Cao's strengths based on his characteristics. For example, Chu Xu and Dian Wei are both powerful and loyal to the law. Let Cao Cao fight on the front line of the army, and the benefit is the leadership of the army; believing in Zang Ba's eastern soil, Cao Cao entrusted the Qing and Xu states to him, so that he could concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao without thinking about the East; Wenpin was Liu Biao's subordinate General, he is very elegant in Jianghan area. Cao Cao made him the governor of Jiangxia, entrusted him with handling the affairs of the court, and asked Sun Quan to serve the court.
Cao Cao was not only an outstanding military strategist and commander, but also an outstanding politician, writer, poet and military theorist. There is no other military strategist in ancient China who is as comprehensive as Cao Cao.
9. Zhou Yu
Zhou Yu was from Shucheng, Lujiang, Gongjin. I met Sun Ce when I was a child and became life and death friends. After Sun Ce became independent from Yuan Shu, Zhou Yu took the initiative to find Sun Ce. In Sun Ce's battle to pacify Jiangdong, he played the dual roles of counselor and general, and used strategies to persuade Taishi Ci. After Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, Zhou Yu served as the governor of the navy. In 200, Sun Ce died young.
Before leaving, he said to Sun Quan: "Don't ask Zhou Yu about foreign affairs.". After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he also trusted Zhou Yu very much. In 2008, Sun Quan sent Huang Zu as an envoy, and Zhou Yu played an important role. In 2008, Cao Cao went south to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan's battle was undecided. Zhou Yu returned from Poyang Lake in time and correctly analyzed Cao Yuan's disadvantages, which made Sun Quan decide to fight Cao Cong. Governor Zhou Yu burned Cao Cao. This is the famous Battle of Chibi. After the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu was poisoned when he attacked Nanjun, but he still fought hard to capture Nanjun. Later, Zhou Yu cut off the south bank of the Yangtze River leading to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei went to Jingkou to meet Sun Quan and demanded the entire Jingzhou. Sun Quan agreed, and Zhou Yu had to retreat to Chaisang County to recuperate. When Zhou Yu was ill, he reminded Sun Quan to beware of Liu Bei. In the 20th year, Zhou Yu led troops to attack Xichuan. When he arrived at Bachu, he was wounded by an arrow and died young at the age of 36. After Sun Quan heard the news, he immediately sent Zhou Yu's coffin back to Chaisang.
Zhou Yu was an outstanding military strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His military capabilities are far inferior to Zhuge Liang's. The above-mentioned political talents are actually military strategic talents. Political and military talents are sometimes inseparable.
In addition, his military talents are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First of all, he has served as Wu Dong's supreme commander for a long time, showing outstanding commanding ability.
The second is the famous Battle of Chibi, where a small number defeated a large number, which is enough to show his military talent.
Third, the siege of Jiangling after the Battle of Chibi. After Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, Cao Ren and Huang Xu led eight thousand elite troops to guard Jingzhou and Jiangling, the first county of Nanjun. Zhou Yu led 20,000 troops to attack the city. Hard battles are always tough, but Jiangling City is high and deep, and there is plenty of food. However, Zhou Yu and Cao Ren faced off for nearly a year without causing any casualties, and finally defeated Cao Ren and occupied Jiangling. A comparable example is: more than ten years later, Guan Yu led tens of thousands of troops to besiege Xiangyang, which was guarded by 5,000 Cao Ren. He besieged Xiangyang with floods. After being besieged for several months, it was still not captured. It was finally broken by Huang Xu from the outside.
Fourth, in a series of wars to expand Wu Dong's territory, Zhou Yu, as the commander-in-chief after Sun Ce and Sun Quan, moved to the north and pacified half of Wu Dong. He was the leader of Jiangdong, Jianglu, and Huangzu, and was almost invincible, fully demonstrating his outstanding military talents. Most of Wu Dong's battles were with Zhou Yu. No wonder Ranran Xuri shed tears many times and said to the ministers: "It's not just Zhou Gongjin, not the emperor."
Zhou Yu's choice was mainly based on personal opinions. In the Ming Dynasty, due to the spread of the "Wei Warship War Order", Zhou Yu became a completely different person and became a supporting role of Zhuge Liang, who was still unknown at the time. This is untrue and unfair.
10. Yang
Yang, whose real name was Yang Yanlang, was later changed to Yang, also known as Taiyuan. The eldest son of Yang Ye, a famous anti-Liao general in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Liao people believed that the sixth important town of the Big Dipper, Youyanbei, was their nemesis. The Liao people regarded it as the Liulang star in the sky, so they called it Yang Liulang.
He has been fighting with Yang Ye since he was a child. In the third year of the Western Expedition, Yang Ye led his army to attack Ying, Shuo and other states, with Zhao Yan as the vanguard. 29 years old, fighting under Shuozhou City, Liu Ya held his arm. He fought bravely and finally captured Shuozhou. After his father's death, he took on the important task of fighting against the Liao in Yanbian, Hebei. After the northwest expedition, Zhao Yan resisted the invasion of Liao soldiers in Jingzhou and Baozhou, and was buried in Yong'an County after his death. During the battle with the Liao soldiers, Yang threatened the court, and people called the Sui city guarded by Yang "Iron Sui City". Song Zhenzong praised his "fatherly style".
In the first year of Jingdezhen, an order was issued to increase the strength of Yang Zaijun to 10,000. If the Liao cavalry invades, the troops will be stationed east of the Jing'an Army. Order the Shibutun troops to be deployed to the west of Macun to protect the wasteland. Cut off the enemy's cavalry at the Black Crossing and Wannian Bridge, gather troops from all walks of life to pursue the enemy, and let Wei Neng, Zhang Ning, and Tian Min contain the enemy with surprise troops. At that time, Wang Chao was appointed as the capital deployment and allowed things to go out of his control. Yang said: "The Khitan garrison is thousands of miles away from northern Xinjiang and is desolate. Although there are many troops, they are easily defeated. All looted and plundered items were immediately put away. I hope that each army will guard the dangerous road, annihilate the enemies here, and make the Youhu The remote states of Yishu were captured. "I pretended to be the emperor and did not answer. It is said that Yang and his army traveled as far as the Liao Kingdom, captured the ancient city, and captured countless enemies.
Yang is good at using troops. He used all his rewards to comfort the army and never interfered with family affairs.
He moved in and out of pomp and circumstance like a minor official. He has strict orders and can share the joys and sorrows with the infantry. When he encounters the enemy, he will charge into battle, win the battle, and win honor for his subordinates, so everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for him. Engaged in border defense work for more than 20 years. The Liao army was afraid of him and called him Yang Liulang. When he died, Song Zhenzong sighed, mourned him, and sent the eunuch to send the coffin back to his hometown. Most people in the Heshuo area cried when they saw his coffin. The imperial court appointed his three sons as officials. For his relatives and clients, he also weighed his talents and chose to hire.
