If you talk about popularity, Liu Jiye should be second only to Yue Fei in the history of the Song Dynasty. Many people may be relatively unfamiliar with the name Liu Jiye, but Yang Jiye and Yang Ye are undoubtedly popular and known to everyone.

It was not because of his popularity that Zhao Kuangmei looked at him differently. After all, from his position, the story of the Yang family generals is really unpleasant. It is like a great Northern Song Dynasty. No one can fight except those with their surname Yang. Even if the Yang family men die, they have to let the Yang family women join in and make a female general of the Yang family. Is this praising the Yang family or slapping the Zhao family in the face?

The bullshit is gone.

Zhao Kuangmei liked his character.

In history, as a minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, this person has always been a surrender faction, and he strongly advocated surrendering to the Song Dynasty. After all, the Northern Han and the Later Zhou Dynasty had a deep feud. What does it have to do with the Northern Song Dynasty? Even the Northern Han and the Khitan had a great relationship with him later. Once, the Khitan helped them to repel the Song army, and he was thinking about sneaking into attacks and stabbing the sword in the back.

To be honest, if it weren't for the collapse of the relationship between the Northern Han and the Liao Kingdom later, he might not have been able to fight this place with Zhao Er's two tricks.

However, he clearly had such a soft political stance and was a hard-core surrender faction, but he was extremely tough on the battlefield. He was alone in the late Northern Han Dynasty. He once defeated the twenty generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, but he defeated the entire Northern Song Dynasty alone and lost his temper. Later, when the Northern Song Dynasty called him, he respectfully called him Liu Wudi.

Even when the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, Emperor Liu Jiyuan surrendered, but he threw himself to guard the South Gate and fought to the death. In the end, Liu Jiyuan himself could not bear it and personally persuaded him to surrender, which was why this veteran with the name of invincible became a Song minister.

Then everyone in the world knew what happened later. Although it was far less exaggerated than in the Romance of the Yang family, Yang Lao Linggong was strong in the battle of Yanmen Pass. Later, he fought hard in the Khitan and refused to surrender. It can be said that he devoted himself to his entire life until his death.

This kind of person is extremely rare even in other eras. In the Five Dynasties period, when rituals and music collapse and morals are declining, such as Feng Dao, who was a role model for the five dynasties, was simply... a lunatic!

The so-called axiom is free in people's hearts. No matter when it is, people like him will be sincerely admired. Even with his ability to be high, he will be willing to give up and use his reputation to give him a foothold. Even a ruthless person like Shi Shouxin will strongly support Zhao Kuangmei's decision to surround him without fighting.

It is because there are too few people who still value loyalty and righteousness these days that this person is so cute and respectable. Everyone may be instinctively and will carefully protect this fool, this psychopath, and his character is even more dazzling in this turbid world than the searchlights in the dark night. Even the enemies can't help but pay attention to him.

It is not a hero who died in the chaos, this is the consensus of the three of them and even all the soldiers of the entire army.

For this hero, even though it is said that it can be taken down by Yanmen Pass today, these imperial guards chose to sit here, willing to waste a few days on this, and even worried that he had no food to eat, Zhao Kuangmei took the initiative to order someone to give him some of the supplies in his army.

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

"General Yang, General Zhe, we are really proud of our talents. We have been waiting for the two generals to lead our troops to come. We will leave this Yanmen Pass to you to fight. If this person is willing to surrender, I will treat you with kindness as a national soldier. If this person has to ask for death, then... let him die at your hands, and I promise to be buried with him."

Yang Chongxun and Zhe Deyi had already known about the situation here. When they heard this, they couldn't help but kneel down and thank him.

It is because of these two people, one is Liu Jiye’s younger brother and the other is his father-in-law.

The Yang family in Linzhou and the Zhe family in Fuzhou were originally two small warlords in troubled times. These two places were harassed by the Dangxiang people all year round. Therefore, the local people spontaneously trained and protected themselves. The leader was the Yang family and the Zhe family. The two families have always been married to each other, and the name is the two families, which is actually one family.

Zhe Dejian was a clear person. After Guo Wei started his career, he had been investing in Zhou Zibao and even led his troops to defeat Yelu Talie. Yang Chongxun was relatively not so clear. He had repeatedly challenged the Northern Han and the Later Zhou Dynasty for a period of time. He was probably afraid that his brother would be difficult to do, and he had been with the Northern Han. But later he found that the Northern Han was really unreliable. He had already rebelled back three years ago and even took the position of governor given by Chai Rong. In short, these two people had long been real Zhou generals, and Yuan Yan later made a comment on persuasion and expressed loyalty to Zhao Kuangyin.

He specially invited these two people from Linzhou and Fuzhou, so he naturally hoped that they could persuade Liu Jiye. If he could really be cruel to fight with his younger brother and father-in-law, then... even if he surrendered, he would not want it.

The two of them did not know each other. They came here for a long distance without even drinking water. They didn't even bring a personal soldier. They went straight to Yanmen Pass and shouted at Liu Jiye.

Seeing this, Liu Jiye smiled bitterly.

He had the will to die and was determined to die, but he hoped that he would die a little more heroic, so as to prove to the people of the world that the Northern Han Kingdom was not all cowards, cowards, and traitors. He hoped that his death would make the future history. This Northern Han could seem a little less ridiculous and sad.

Who would have thought that Zhao Kuangmei would call all his family members far away in the two states of Lin Prefecture in order to surrender?

You know, in the past few years in Northern Han, Liu Jiye was fine with the Yang family in Linzhou, but he had really fought with the Zhe family in Fuzhou, and he really fought a lot.

He is both the Liu family's grandson, adopted son, and the Zhe family's son-in-law. The generals on the battlefield are either brother-in-law or brother-in-law, or brother-in-law. How uncomfortable it is to fight such a war? Who can understand that anyone who has never experienced it?

During that time, he and his wife Zhe and his wife were so anxious that they would cry secretly every night. They were already extremely uncomfortable. At this time, they saw that Zhe Deyi was wearing military armor and standing in opposition to him. They drew their swords and looked at him. They were filled with mixed feelings, but finally they could no longer hold on. When their legs were weak, they knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

After crying enough, Liu Jiye whispered: "After many years, I really can't bear to face my father-in-law and brother with my sword anymore. I... can't beat you anymore. Let's open the city and let the brothers... who are still willing to live, so you can surrender."

After saying that, he looked at Bei from afar, burst into tears, smiled bitterly, and bowed solemnly.

He pulled out his sword under the scorching sun, looked at the sword lights, and couldn't help but feel sad. Looking back on the thirty years of his life, he couldn't help but feel very ridiculous.

The word "Loyalty" and the word "filial piety" have tortured him for a whole ten years.

"After all, nothing can be achieved, and I will only leave a joke in history books."
