Life of the characters

He was born in a general family

Yang Yichen, a Dai, was originally named weichi. His father, Wei Chi Chong, was an official of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was a general of Yi Tong and led his troops to guard Hengshan. At that time, Yang Jian was the general manager of Dingzhou. Wei Chi Chong knew that Yang Jian was very beautiful and often made friends with him. Yang Jian was very close to him.

In the second year of Xiangxiang (580), after Yang Jian became Prime Minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wei chijun set up an army. Because he was of the same family as the anti thief, Wei chichong put himself in prison and sent people to Beijing to plead guilty. Yang Jian wrote a letter to him, asked him to take the post car back to Korea, and always arranged him by his side. After Zhou Jiansui was replaced by Yang Jian, Wei chichong was granted the title of Duke of QINXING county.

At that time, weichi Yichen was still young and raised in the palace. Under the age of 20, he had been ordered to be a bodyguard like qianniuwei for several years. Yang Jian gave him a lot of rewards. Yang Jian talked about some friends in the past. Looking at Wei Chi's Yichen, he sighed for a long time. Therefore, the imperial edict said: "when I was first ordered to ascend the throne, the group of murderers had not yet been calmed, and there was enough room for people of insight to cherish. Wei Chi's righteous officials and Wei Chi's were of the same flesh and blood. His father, Wei Chi Chong, was in Changshan at that time. He was in command of the army. He was not only close to him, but also close to him. Knowing the meaning of rebellious Dali and knowing heaven and man, he stated his sincerity and worried that he would be implicated by the anti thief, so he arrested himself and asked to come to the prime minister's house. When Beidi invaded, he killed the enemy again. He lived a life of righteousness and died a dead man. His integrity is reflected in life and death, and his deeds run through the earth. Even if he was given a big reward for his high officials and extended to his descendants, it would not be enough to commend him for his pine and cypress like ambition or his righteous family.

In the fourth year of Renshou (604), after Yang Jian's strange death, Yang Guang ascended the throne, and Yang Liang, the king of Han Dynasty, rebelled in Bingzhou. At that time, Li Jing, the governor of daizhou, was surrounded by Qiao Zhongkui, the Minister of the king of Han Dynasty. Yang Guang ordered Yang Yichen to rescue him.

Yang Yichen led 20000 cavalry and infantry. He left Jingxing at night. By dawn, he had already driven dozens of miles. Qiao Zhongkui found out that Yang Yichen had few people, so he went to fight against him. Wang Ba, Qiao Zhongkui's deputy general, is very brave and invincible. He is good at using spears and can't shoot him. He often takes several cavalry to attack. Yang Yichen was worried about him, so he recruited people who could resist Wang ba. General Yang si'en asked to fight Wang ba. Yang Yichen saw that Yang Sien was very brave and said to him, "what a strong man!" Give him a bottle of wine. When Yang saw the enemy, he stood on the ground and looked at the wine. Yang si'en rushed twice, but failed to defeat the enemy. Yang Yi Chen chose more than a dozen cavalry to follow him. So Yang si'en dashed forward, killed several rebels, and rushed to Wang BA's flag. The two men fought in a short battle. Yang si'en retreated from the cavalry and was killed by Wang ba. Wang Ba took advantage of the victory to March, and Yang Yichen's army retreated more than ten miles. Yang Yichen redeemed Yang Sien's body and burst into tears. All the cavalry of Yang si'en's entourage were beheaded.

Yang Yichen, because he had few soldiers, cleared all the cattle and donkeys in the army. He cleared thousands of them, and made hundreds of soldiers, each with a drum, secretly drive the cattle and donkeys to the valley, surprised. After dinner, Yang Yichen fought with Zhong Kui again. As soon as the two armies met, Yang Yichen ordered the cattle and donkeys to move forward quickly. For a moment, the battle drum was shaking and the dust was all over the sky. Qiao Zhongkui's army didn't know what it was, but thought it was an ambush and a great defeat. Yang Yichen fought back and defeated Qiao Zhongkui. Yang Yichen was promoted to the rank of general because of his military achievements. He was granted two thousand sections of kuancai, five hundred sections of zacai, ten prostitutes, and twenty good horses. Then he was granted the title of governor of Xiangzhou.

In the third year of Daye (607), Yang Guangdiao and Yang Yichen were appointed zongzhengqing. Before long, he was transferred to the position of imperial servant.

In the fifth year of Daye (609), Yang Yichen followed Yang Guang to fight against Tuyuhun. Yang Guangling stationed Yichen in Pipa gorge. The barracks were connected for 80 Li, Yuanshou in the South and Duan Wenzhen in the north, encircling Tuyuhun in fuyuanzhou.

In the eighth year of Daye (612), he followed Yang Guangzheng to discuss Liaodong, and Yang Yichen led his army to Sushen road. When he arrived at Yalu River, he fought against Yizhi Wende. Yichen was the vanguard every time and won seven battles a day. Later, he was defeated by all the troops and horses, and was dismissed from his post. He will be reinstated soon.

In the ninth year of Daye (613), Yang Guang took Yang Yichen as his deputy general and went to attack Pyongyang with general Yu Wenshu. When he arrived at Yalu River, he met Yang Xuangan, who was in trouble. He returned to the court as his teacher and acted as the prefect of Zhao county. The demon thieves gathered to make trouble with Haigong. They plundered between Fufeng and anding. Yang Yichen swept them down with the imperial edict. Then in 614, with Yang Guang's expedition to Liaodong, Yang Yichen moved to Zuo Guanglu.

At that time, Gao Shida, a native of Bohai, and Zhang Jin, a native of Qinghe, said that they had gathered together as thieves, and tens of thousands of people had captured prefectures and counties. Yang Guang sent General Duan Dajin to fight, but he could not win. There is an imperial edict for Yang Yichen to lead tens of thousands of troops and horses returning from Liaodong to suppress. Yang Yichen smashed Gao Shida and killed Zhang Jincheng. Then he gathered up his troops and went into Douzi village to attack geqian and captured him alive.

After that, Yang Yichen traveled around Hebei Province and wrote to the court about the war and the rise of bandits in Hebei Province. Yu Shiji, the minister in charge of the internal history of the imperial court, was responsible for presenting the inscriptions to Yang Guang. He knew that Yang Guang didn't want to hear the memorials about the theft and chaos in various places. Whenever there were such memorials, he always covered up the truth and didn't report realistically. He just said to Yang Guang, "the thieves can't become the climate. The local officials are going all out to pursue them, and they will be completely eliminated soon." And advised the emperor not to worry. When Yang Guang received the successful report that Yang Yichen had brought down hundreds of thousands of rebels in Hebei Province, he could not help sighing and saying, "I didn't hear that the thieves had developed to such a stage? With the rapid development of thieves, Yang Yichen has brought down so many thieves? " However, Yu Shiji still said to Yang Guang, "the thieves are all small forces. Although there are many, they can't become the climate in the end. There's no need to worry about it. Yang Yichen has tried his best to eliminate the thieves and has a heavy army outside the capital for a long time. It's very inappropriate and he has to guard against them." Yang Guang thought it was, so he ordered to recover Yang Yichen and demobilize his soldiers. Yang Yichen felt sorry for this and had to go back to court.

Soon after, Zhang Jin said that the rest of Gao Shida's troops were all attached to Dou Jiande, and the Hebei rebels revived. After returning to the dynasty, Yang Yichen was promoted to the rank of Guanglu doctor because of his military achievements, and soon he was awarded the Minister of rites. Soon, he died in office.
