Chapter 22 Between loyalty and filial piety

 In terms of popularity, Liu Jiye should be second only to Yue Fei in the entire history of the Song Dynasty. The name Liu Jiye may be relatively unfamiliar to many people, but Yang Jiye and Yang Ye are undoubtedly popular.

Women and children all know it.

Zhao Kuangmei looked at him differently not because of his popularity. After all, from his point of view, the story of the Yang family generals was really unlikable. It was like Nuo was a big man in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there was no one except their surname Yang.

It’s like knowing how to fight. Even if all the men of the Yang family are dead, they still have to let the women of the Yang family come in and make a female general of the Yang family. Is this flattering the Yang family or slapping the Zhao family in the face?

There is no point in talking nonsense.

What Zhao Kuangmei likes is his moral character.

Historically, this person was a minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, but in fact he was always a surrender faction and advocated surrender to the Song Dynasty. After all, the Northern Han Dynasty had a blood feud with the Later Zhou Dynasty. What did it have to do with the Northern Song Dynasty? Even the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan later turned against each other.

He has a close relationship with him. Once, the Khitans were helping them repel the Song army, but he was thinking about sneaking up on these friendly troops and stabbing them in the back.

To be honest, if the relationship between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom hadn't collapsed later, with Zhao Er's two moves, he might not have been able to conquer this place.

However, he clearly had such a soft political stance and was a die-hard capitulator, but he was extremely tough on the battlefield. The entire late Northern Han Dynasty was supported by him alone. He once defeated twenty generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was stunned.

The beating made the entire Northern Song Dynasty lose their temper. Later, when people in the Northern Song Dynasty called him, they all called him Liu Wudi.

Even when the Northern Han Dynasty fell, Emperor Liu Jiyuan surrendered, but he was left to defend the south gate and fight to the death, refusing to surrender. In the end, it was Liu Jiyuan who couldn't bear it and personally persuaded him to surrender, which was considered to be the invincible veteran.

To Song Chen.

Then everyone in the world knows what happened next. Although it is far from as exaggerated as in the romance of the Yang family, Yang Laolinggong saved the world in the battle of Yanmen Pass, and later fought against the Khitans and survived, which can be called

Just die after exhausting yourself.

This kind of person is extremely rare even in other eras, but in this Five Dynasties period when etiquette and music have collapsed, morals have declined, and roly-poly men like Feng Dao from the Five Dynasties are role models for ministers, this is simply

...Crazy!

The so-called justice lies in the heart of the people. People like him, no matter what time, will always be admired from the bottom of their hearts. Even if he is highly virtuous, he will be willing to admit defeat and use his own reputation to give him a foothold. Even if it is Shi Shouxin

Such a ruthless person also fully supports Zhao Kuangmei's decision to surround and not fight.

It is because there are so few people who pay attention to loyalty these days that this person appears to be so cute and respectable. Everyone may be instinctively caring for this fool, this lunatic, and his moral character is so different in this world.

The turbid world is more dazzling than the searchlight in the dark night. Even the enemies can't help but pay attention to him.

Not letting heroes die in the chaos is the consensus of the three of them and even all the soldiers in the army.

For the sake of this hero, even though it is said that Yanmen Pass can be taken down today, these forbidden troops chose to sit here, willing to waste a few days for this, and even worried that he would have no food to eat. Zhao Kuangmei still

He took the initiative to order people to send him part of his army's supplies.

After waiting for two days, the person they were waiting for finally arrived.

"General Yang, General Zhe, we really cherish our talents, so we have been waiting for the two generals to lead their troops. I will leave Yanmen Pass to you to fight. If this person is willing to surrender, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will use it as a soldier of the country."

If this person insists on death, then... let him die in your hands, and I promise to give him a generous burial."

Yang Chongxun and Zhe Deyi had already known the situation here. After hearing this, they couldn't help but have tears in their eyes and knelt down to thank each other.

Just because of these two people, one is Liu Jiye's biological brother and the other is his father-in-law.

The Linzhou Yang family and the Fuzhou Zhe family were two small warlords in troubled times. These two places were harassed by party members all year round, so the local people spontaneously trained their troops to protect themselves. The leaders were the Yang family and the Zhe family.

The families have always been married to each other, and they are called two families but they are actually one family.

Zhe De was a man who was very capable of handling the Qing Dynasty. Guo Wei had been surrendering to the Zhou Dynasty to protect himself since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and even led troops to defeat Yelu Talie. Yang Chongxun was not so good at handling the Qing Dynasty, and had repeatedly fought against the Northern Han Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty.

For a period of time, he was probably afraid that his brother would be difficult to do, so he lived with the Northern Han Dynasty, but later he found that the Northern Han Dynasty was really unreliable, and he rebelled again three years ago, and even received the Jiedushi Envoy given to him by Chai Rong.

position, in short, these two people have long been real Zhou generals, and Yuan Yan has also gone to the persuade table to express his loyalty to Zhao Kuangyin.

These two people were specially invited from Linzhou and Fuzhou, naturally in the hope that they could persuade Liu Jiye. If he could really make up his mind to attack his own brother and father-in-law, then...he would...

It’s a surrender, and I don’t want it anymore.

These two people didn't know how to write. They traveled a long distance and didn't even drink any water. They didn't even take any personal soldiers with them. They went straight to Yanmen Pass and yelled at Liu Jiye.

When Liu Jiye saw this, he smiled bitterly.

He originally had a death wish and wanted to die, but he just hoped that he could die a little more heroically, so as to prove to the world that not all the people in the Northern Han Dynasty were cowards, cowards and traitors, so they pinned their hopes on his own death.

, can make the Northern Han Dynasty look a little less ridiculous and a little more sad in the future history.

Who would have thought that Zhao Kuangmei would go so far as to call all his family members from two states as far away as Linfu in order to recruit him?

You know, during the years when Liu Jiye was in the Northern Han Dynasty, he had a good relationship with the Yang family in Linzhou, but he really fought with the Zhe family in Fuzhou, and he really fought a lot.

He is the adopted grandson, adopted son of the Liu family, and the son-in-law of the Zhe family. The generals on the battlefield are either the elder brother-in-law or the younger brother-in-law, or the brother-in-law or the brother-in-law. It is so uncomfortable to fight this kind of battle. Who has never experienced it?

Can you understand?

During that time, he and his wife, Zheshi, were caught between him and wanted to cry secretly every night. They were already extremely uncomfortable. At this time, he saw that Zhe Deku had put on a military uniform and armor, and stood on his opposite side to face him.

He drew his sword and faced it. He had mixed feelings for a moment, but finally he couldn't hold on anymore. As soon as his legs went weak, he knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly.

After crying enough, Liu Jiye said softly: "After many years, I really can't bear to fight with my father-in-law and my brother again. I... I really can't fight anymore. Let's open the city and let the brothers... still want to live.

Yes, please surrender."

After saying that, he looked to the north in the distance, with tears streaming down his face, a wry smile, and a solemn bow.

Under the scorching sun, I pulled out my sword and looked at the sword light. I couldn't help but feel sad. Looking back on my thirty years of life, I couldn't help but feel that it was very ridiculous.

One word of loyalty and one word of filial piety tortured him for ten years.
