Generals of the Yang Family (Vernacular Version)

"The Generals of the Yang Family (Vernacular Version)" takes the Yang Ye family in the Northern Song Dynasty as its main line of resistance against the Liao Dynasty for generations, and vividly interprets a series of wonderful legendary stories. The story begins when Liu Jun, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, expelled his loyal ministers and Hu Yanzan was born. Yang Ye was originally a famous general in the Northern Han Dynasty, but he surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty due to the fatuousness of the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty. After returning to the Song Dynasty, Yang Ye was not afraid of the powerful Liao offensive. In the Battle of Yanmen Pass, he led hundreds of cavalry to go behind the Liao army, and attacked Pan Renmei's troops front and back, winning a complete victory. However, during Yongxi's three-year Northern Expedition, Pan Renmei was jealous of Yang Ye's talents and refused to adopt his reasonable suggestions. As a result, Yang Ye was trapped in a tight siege at the entrance of Chenjia Valley, isolated and helpless, and was eventually captured and died on a hunger strike. Each of Yang Ye's seven sons was highly skilled in martial arts. In the Battle of Golden Beach, the seven sons of the Yang family suffered heavy casualties while protecting the emperor. Da Lang died for the King of Song, Er Lang replaced the Eight Wise Kings, San Lang's horse stepped into the mud, Si Lang fled to other countries, Wu Lang became a monk, Qi Lang broke out of the siege to rescue soldiers, but was killed by the traitor Pan Renmei, and only Liu Lang Yang Yanzhao broke out of the siege and continued to defend his family and country. Yang Liulang inherited his father's ambition and guarded the northern border for a long time. His wisdom and bravery frightened the Liao army. Later, Yang Zongbao, son of Yang Liulang, met Mu Guiying in Muke Village, and the two got married. The Liao army set up the Tianmen Formation in an attempt to eliminate the Song army in one fell swoop. Mu Guiying took command and went out. With extraordinary wisdom and courage, he led the generals of the Yang family and the Song army soldiers to break through the Tianmen Formation. The novel ends with the Twelve Widows' expedition to Xixia. When most of the men died, Taijun She, Mu Guiying and other Yang family female generals stepped forward and went deep into the Xixia battlefield to continue fighting to defend the Song Dynasty. This fully embodies the patriotic spirit and unyielding will passed down by the Yang family from generation to generation.
