Yang Family General

"Generals of the Yang Family" is a classic work in traditional Chinese storytelling. It is based on the heroic deeds of three generations of the Yang family who defended their family and country during the Northern Song Dynasty. The novel is written from the founding of the country by Song Taizu to the period of Song Shenzong, a time span of more than a hundred years. It tells the story of Yang Ye (Yang Linggong), She Taijun, Yang Liulang (Yang Yanzhao), Yang Zongbao, Mu Guiying and other Yang family generals who fought bravely and bravely faced the national disaster. Yang Ye was a famous general in the early Northern Song Dynasty. He fought against the Khitan and was powerful in the border areas. However, he was framed by the traitor Pan Renmei. He fought hard until the end and shed blood on the battlefield. He hit the Li Ling monument and died for his country. His son Yang Liulang inherited his father's ambition and won many victories in the anti-Liao struggle. Yang Zongbao accidentally obtained military instructions during the battle with the Liao army, and later married Mu Guiying. Mu Guiying was superb in martial arts and resourceful, and once led the army to break through the Tianmen Formation. The book also focuses on depicting the valiant and heroic demeanor of the female generals of the Yang family, such as Taijun She, who was still in command at the age of 100, and the Twelve Widows who defeated the enemy and returned triumphantly in the western expedition. The novel not only exaggerates the heroic achievements of the Yang family tiger generals in conquering Liao and Xixia and pacifying Nong Zhigao's rebellion, but also demonstrates the loyalty and bravery of the Yang family generals through the struggle between loyalists and traitors inside and outside the court. "The Generals of the Yang Family" combines history, romance, mythology and folklore, with ups and downs of the plot, distinctive characters, and great appeal. It is a must-read heroic legend.
