Life of the characters

Treason and independence

In February 188 (the fifth year of Zhongping), Guo Tai, the rest of the Huangjin uprising army, set up an army in Baibo Valley to resist the imperial court of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yang Fengchu was a general of the Baibo army, followed by Li Yi, a warlord in Liangzhou.

In 195 ad (the second year of Xingping), the discord among the warlords in Liangzhou, who controlled the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, reached the stage of white hot. In February, Li killed fan Hou and attacked Guo Si. In a battle between the two sides, Li's army was disadvantageous, and Li's ears were pierced by random arrows. Yang Feng saw that Shi led his troops to the rescue and repulsed Guo's army. Later, Yang Feng and song Guo, the military official of Li's army, discussed the murder of Li. Unexpectedly, the matter leaked out, so they led troops to rebel against Li, weakening Li's military power.

Protect the emperor and return to Beijing

In June 195 (the second year of Xingping), Zhendong General Zhang Ji rushed from Shanxian County to reconcile Li Xi and Guo Si. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty missed the old capital Luoyang, so he sent someone to ask Li to return to the East, and he was allowed to go back and forth ten times. In July, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty left Chang'an. Yang Feng was worshipped as general Xingyi, and returned to the East with Guo Si, Yang Ding and Dong Cheng. In October, Guo Si suddenly turned back and wanted to take Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty to Xian County. Yang Feng and others ignored him. Guo Si made his general Wu Xi burn the school house at night to coerce Emperor Xian. Yang Feng and Yang Ding led the army to fight against Guo Si and defeat Guo Si. Guo Si was afraid of change and fled for his life.

Emperor Xiandi drove into Huayin County of Hongnong county. Yang Ding framed Duan Lu, a general stationed here, for conspiracy and led troops to attack his camp, but he could not attack for a long time. At this time, Li Xi and Guo Si and others came to rescue Duan Lu on the pretext of sending troops to rescue him, hoping to rob Xiandi. Yang Ding was blocked by Guo Si's army and fled to Jingzhou. Zhang Ji, because of his disagreement with Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, also led his troops to join Li Xi and Guo Si to pursue Xiandi. In November, the two sides fought in Dongjian, Hongnong county. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng were defeated. Countless officials and soldiers died. All the women's belongings and all kinds of Royal utensils were discarded.

When Wang Shi failed, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had to sleep in the fields of Caoyang. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng pretended to make peace with Li Ying and others, and secretly sent envoys to Hedong county to recruit Baibo generals Li Le, Han Siam, Hu CAI and Youxian king of Southern Xiongnu. They got thousands of cavalry. With this, they defeated Li Ying and others, decapitated thousands of ranks, and continued to drive eastward. Dong Cheng and Li Le were escorted around, while Yang Fengze, Hu Cai, Han Siam and Qu Beiduan were escorted to protect Xiandi's chariots.

In December, Li Ying and others led the army to catch up with each other again. The two sides fought again. Yang Feng and others were defeated, and 100 officials were killed on a large scale again. From the beginning of Dongjian, the attack continued for 40 Li, and Xiandi's car arrived at Shanxian County with difficulty. After the disaster at that time, there were less than 100 guards in Huben's feather forest. The soldiers of Li Xi and Guo Si yelled around Xiandi's camp. All of them wanted to leave. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng were worried about the long night and many dreams. They escorted Xiandi across the Yellow River at night. Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi County, also joined the convoy when passing through Dayang County of Hedong county. When he arrived in Anyi County, Emperor Xian sent Han Rong, his servant, to Hongnong county to make peace with Li Yu and Guo Si. Li Yu then returned to the palace of Gongqing, and also returned some of the maids' family members and the royal family's vehicles, utensils and costumes.

In July 196 (the first year of Jian'an), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty finally drove into Luoyang. Yang Feng left tunliang county to guard Luoyang, while Han Xian and Dong Cheng stayed in Beijing to guard the imperial palace. In August, Yang Feng was worshipped by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as a general of chariots and horses, and was able to fake the festival of Yue.

Go east to Yuanshu

During the period of escorting Emperor Xian, Yang Feng and Han Xian, Dong Cheng and Zhang Yang became discordant because of their opposition. In February 196 (the first year of Jian'an), Han Xian attacked Dong Cheng and fought against him. Although Yang Feng was the strongest among the generals, he lacked foreign aid. At this time, Cao Cao, a herdsman in Yanzhou, calmed down the yellow scarf army in Yanzhou and sent envoys to express sympathy to Xiandi, who was still in Hedong county at that time. In the name of Cao Cao, Dong Zhao wrote to Yang Feng to express his intention of cooperation. After receiving the letter, Yang Feng was very happy and said to the generals, "Yanzhou's troops are stationed in Xu county nearby. They have soldiers and food. The country should rely on them." In June, Yang Feng, together with others, recommended Cao Cao as Zhendong general, and let him inherit the title of his father Cao song as FeiTing Marquis, so as to win over Cao Cao.

After arriving in Luoyang, Han Siam was proud of his merits and did whatever he wanted. Dong Cheng was worried and summoned Cao caoqin, the shepherd of Yanzhou. Cao Cao then paid tribute to the court and took the opportunity to report the sins of Han Xian and Zhang Yang. Frightened, Han Siam went to Yang Feng, who stationed troops in Liang county. At the same time, Dong Zhao suggested to Cao Cao that Xiandi should be moved to Xuxian County, and made plans for him, claiming that the capital city was short of food. In order to facilitate the transportation of food, he temporarily moved Xiandi to Luyang County, which is closer to Xuxian county. At the same time, he constantly sent envoys to send gifts to Yang Feng to paralyze him. As expected, Yang Feng was credulous and relaxed his vigilance. At this time, Emperor Cao wanted to go back to fengcao county to defend himself. Yang Feng and Han Xian then led the army to Dingling County of Yingchuan county to plunder and harass, but Cao Cao ignored them. In October, Cao Cao suddenly attacked Yang Feng's barracks in Liang county. Yang Feng and Han Xian lost their foothold and went east to Yuan Shu.

Become a bandit

In the spring of 197 A.D. (the second year of Jian'an), Yuan Shu called himself the son of heaven and sent Han Yin as his envoy to convey to Lu Bu, who was occupying Xuzhou that he was about to become emperor. At the same time, he wanted to form a family with Lu Bu. Lv Bu listened to the opinions of Pei's Prime Minister Chen Yu, refused to get married, and handed over Han Yin to Cao Cao. When Yuan Shu heard of his anger, he sent his generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui to join forces with Han Xian and Yang Feng, and led tens of thousands of infantry to attack Lu Bu in seven ways. Chen Yu suggested to woo Yang Feng and Han Xian. Lu Bu wrote a letter to express his intention to unite, and promised to give all the money and food to the general after he defeated Yuan Shu. Han Xian and Yang Feng were very happy and decided to unite with Lu Bu to attack Zhang Xun and others in xiapi. Yuan Shu's army was defeated and almost completely destroyed.

After that, Yang Fenghuo and Han Siam captured Liu Bei's army in Xuzhou and Yangzhou. At the instigation of Lu Bu, they went to rob Liu Bei's army's capital, and were finally trapped and killed by Liu Bei.

Historical evaluation

Dong Zhao: "to be a man of courage and care less."

Han Xiandi Liu Xie: "Han Siam, Yang Feng special prestige."

Mao Zonggang: "Yang Feng and Jia Xu, who were born in Li Xi, began to unite and finally left. It's a separation but not a combination. If it is, it can make up for it. "

Literary image

In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yang Feng appeared in the 13th to 17th chapters. His image is similar to that in history. He is a riding captain in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yang Fengyuan was a subordinate of Li He. Because he was dissatisfied with the reward, he collaborated with another Li He to rebel against song Guo. However, it was revealed that Yang Feng was defeated and fled. Later, he united with Han Siam, the former yellow scarf department, and his uncle Dong Cheng fought with Li Xi and Guo Si, who came to rob and drive him, to help Xiandi return to Luoyang. Emperor Xian called Cao Cao to come, and Yang Feng and Han Siam stationed troops in Daliang to avoid Cao Cao. Cao Cao moved Xiandi to Xudu. Yang Feng and Han Xian intercepted Cao Cao halfway, but they were defeated. Yang Feng lost his power and fled to Yuan Shu. Soon after, he rebelled for Lu Bu. Finally, he was trapped and killed by Liu Bei for harassing the people.
