The Romantic Generals of the Yang Family: Zong Bao Saves His Mother

Chapter One: Smoke and Fire on the Frontier

During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, under the rule of Empress Dowager Xiao, gradually grew stronger. Although Empress Dowager Xiao was
a woman, she possessed lofty ambitions and was very determined. She repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, but each time she was repelled by the army led by Yang Yanzhao, the Sixth Prince,
thus spreading the fame of the Yang family generals throughout the land.

At that time, Emperor Zhenzong had only recently ascended the throne, and his power base was still weak. He was naturally suspicious, and seeing Yang Yanzhao's widespread fame and the gathering
of fierce generals , he was deeply worried. Grand Tutor Pan Renmei seized the opportunity to advise, "Your Majesty, Yang Liulang's power is too great;
we must be wary!"

Emperor Zhenzong replied, "The Yang family has always been loyal; surely they wouldn't plot a rebellion!"

Grand Tutor Pan said, "Your Majesty, don't you remember the story of Emperor Taizu being forced to wear the yellow robe at Chenqiao Post Station? Regardless of
Yang Liulang's loyalty, if his soldiers were to follow the same path and force the yellow robe upon him, he would likely
rebel!"

Pan Renmei's words struck a chord with Emperor Zhenzong, who frowned and said, "Minister Pan, this
is exactly what I'm worried about! In your opinion, how should we respond?"

Pan Renmei said, "Recently, the King of Yunnan has been plotting a rebellion. Your Majesty could issue an edict ordering Yang Liulang to suppress it. If Liulang wins, he
can be left to garrison Yunnan, separating him from his generals in the north and south; if he loses, he can be executed on the spot."

Emperor Zhenzong was delighted and said, "This plan is excellent." He then issued an edict ordering Yang Liulang, Yang Yanzhao, to go to Yunnan to suppress the rebels.

Yang Liulang received the imperial decree and left the capital,
suppressing instigated Wang Qiang, the Minister of War, to enter the palace and accuse Yang Liulang of secretly recruiting soldiers and plotting a rebellion. Emperor Zhenzong
believed her and ordered Yang Liulang to commit suicide. Knowing his achievements overshadowed the emperor, and that the emperor could not tolerate
him, Yang Liulang saw death as the only way to prove his loyalty. After

Yang Liulang's death, Emperor Zhenzong, again heeding Pan Renmei's words, transferred Yang Liulang's trusted generals away from the northern
border.

When news of Yang Liulang's death reached the Liao Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao was overjoyed. She immediately reorganized the army, appointing
General Han Yanshou, the Prince of Pingnan, as Grand Marshal, and dispatched 200,000 troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

General Han Yanshou was the Liao Dynasty's foremost general, deeply versed in military strategy and highly skilled in martial arts. He advanced with unstoppable momentum,
capturing several cities in succession, and soon reached Xiongzhou, a key border town.

Liu Yixiong, the garrison commander of Xiongzhou, knew he was outnumbered and no match for Han Yanshou, and
harbored . He surrendered the city. Han Yanshou incorporated the Xiongzhou troops into his own forces, placing them under Liu Yixiong's command and ordering him
to lead the eastern army to seize Bazhou.

When the news reached Bianliang (Kaifeng), the capital, the entire court was horrified. Emperor Zhenzong hastily summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures. The
officials were divided, with some advocating war and others surrender, resulting in a stalemate. Emperor Zhenzong, considering himself the Celestial
Empire, was unwilling to accept surrender without a fight and asked his ministers who could resist the enemy. Wang Qiang, the Minister of War, who favored
surrender, seeing the emperor's desire for war, recommended the Eighth Prince, Zhao Defang, to lead the expedition.

The Eighth Prince understood that this was Wang Qiang's treacherous scheme. How could a civil official like Wang Qiang know anything about leading troops? He was about to decline
when Kou Zhun stepped forward from the ranks of civil officials, offering to serve as the military supervisor and accompany the Eighth Prince on the expedition against the Liao.
Emperor Zhenzong was overjoyed and immediately granted the request, then asked Kou Zhun what strategies he had for repelling the enemy. Kou Zhun replied, "Although the Liao army is numerous,
they have come from afar and are bound to be exhausted. We only need a capable general to contend with them, and we can repel them in a few days." Zhenzong asked who
could be the commander, and Kou Zhun said, "Han Yanshou is a renowned military talent in Liao, no ordinary man. Only
the Yang family generals can rival him."

Upon hearing the name of the Yang family generals, Zhenzong's face showed reluctance. He had already regretted ordering Yang Liulang's execution; if Yang
Liulang were alive, those Liao dogs would not dare to invade his Great Song. But now that things had come to this, regret was useless, so he said:
"Minister Kou, Yang Liulang is dead. Who in the Yang family can lead the army?"

Kou Zhun replied, "I recommend someone. Although she is a woman, her literary and martial talents are no less than those of men.
If she is made Grand Marshal, we can surely defend the country from the enemy."

Emperor Zhenzong asked who it was, and Kou Zhun said, "She Saihua." Emperor

Zhenzong said, "Minister She, although you are talented, you are too old and a woman. How can you be a commander?"

Kou Zhun said, "Your Majesty, although Lady She is over fifty, her martial arts skills are still unmatched. Moreover, she is well-versed in
military strategy . There is no one else who can meet the enemy. I will also recommend someone as deputy commander. We will surely achieve a complete victory."

Emperor Zhenzong asked again who it was, and Kou Zhun said, "It is Yang Liulang's son, Yang Zongbao."

The Eighth Prince secretly groaned, thinking, "It's bad enough that you, Kou Zhun, are trying to harm me, but you're recommending an old woman as commander and
a young boy as deputy commander. Isn't this going to wipe out the Yang family line?"

Emperor Zhenzong was also somewhat skeptical, but looking across the entire court, he couldn't find anyone else suitable. Therefore, he issued an edict summoning She Saihua and
Yang Zongbao to the palace to be appointed generals.

She Saihua and Yang Zongbao received the edict and left the palace, leading 150,000 troops from various prefectures,
to the border to meet the enemy, along with Prince Zhao Defang, Military Supervisor Kou Zhun, and others.

Along the way, Prince Zhao Defang scolded Kou Zhun for meddling, saying he was trying to harm the Yang family. Kou Zhun laughed, "Wang Qiang and
Pan Renmei have long wanted to harm the Yang family. My recommendation of She Saihua is precisely to seize military power, so that
the Yang family can be saved from this predicament." Prince Zhao Defang found his words quite reasonable, but still had
doubts about how to repel the enemy.

Meanwhile, She Saihua led her army on a rapid march, arriving at the Song-Liao border in a few days. Upon hearing that Xiong Prefecture had fallen, she hurriedly convened
a meeting .

She Saihua was indeed a heroine; she had accompanied her husband on countless battles throughout her life and was very knowledgeable. With a formidable enemy
at hand, she remained calm and composed. She ordered her grandson, Yang Zongbao, the Deputy Marshal of the Northern Expedition, to lead 50,000 troops to garrison Yunzhou, while she
herself led 100,000 troops directly to Suizhou. Suizhou was close to Xiong and Bazhou; the capture of these two prefectures would threaten the Liao
capital, Youzhou, forcing the Liao army to retreat to protect themselves. Yunzhou, located to the west of Liao, was
strategically important and easy to defend. She Taijun's order for Yang Zongbao to garrison there was intended to tie down the Liao army and
coordinate with her forces from the east and west—the best strategy to defeat a superior enemy with a smaller force.

Before departing, Marshal She instructed all armies to prioritize defending the city and avoid reckless advances.

Yang Zongbao, having arrived in Yunzhou, properly arranged the city's defenses and then
inspected . Yunzhou was a small border town with a permanent population of less than 10,000, but due to constant border conflicts, the city...
The defenses were indeed very strong.

Meanwhile, the Liao Grand Marshal Han Yanshou personally led his army with unstoppable momentum, capturing several cities in succession and taking in
surrendered generals like Liu Yixiong, making him even more aggressive. Hearing that the Song army's Grand Marshal was She Saihua and the Deputy Grand Marshal was Yang Zongbao, he was quite dismissive,
thinking that the old and young Yang family members were no match for him. He also divided his forces into two routes: the eastern route, personally led by him with
100,000 troops, would confront She Taijun; if they could capture it, all the better, but even if they couldn't, it would keep She Taijun occupied and prevent her from
focusing on the west; the western route, led by his younger brother, Deputy Grand Marshal Han Yanhui, consisted of 100,000 troops marching towards Yunzhou City. Han Yanshou's
intention was clear: to use his superior forces to take Yunzhou first.

In fact, about a hundred li south of Yunzhou was another city, Yingzhou, defended by
Pan Renmei 's two sons, Pan Long and Pan Hu. Logically, Han Yanshou should have dispatched troops
to Yingzhou, which was relatively easier to attack, or at least diverted some forces to contain it. However, he was well aware of the feud between the Pan and Yang families, knowing that if
he sent troops to attack Yingzhou, the Yunzhou garrison would surely come to his aid. If he abandoned Yingzhou and attacked Yunzhou instead, the Pan
brothers of Yingzhou would not send troops to Yunzhou.

Soon, Han Yanshou's 100,000-strong army arrived at the walls of Yunzhou, surrounding the small northern town like an iron barrel;
a major battle was imminent! As Han Yanshou, the Prince of Pingnan, had predicted, Pan Long and Pan Hu of Yingzhou watched as Yingzhou was besieged,
yet remained inactive.

Meanwhile, Princess Chai stood atop the city wall, looking at her son beside her, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Yang Zongbao
was only eighteen, still just a child, yet for the sake of the Song Dynasty, he now shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting his home and country.

She thought: If only my husband were still here!

Yang Zongbao knew his mother was worried about his safety. He paid no attention to the 100,000 Liao soldiers below the city. Despite his
young age, his martial arts skills were deeply rooted in his father Yang Liulang's, and coupled with his innate superhuman strength, none of the Liao generals were his
match. For the past few days, he had gone out of the city daily to challenge the Liao army, defeating several generals in succession. Today, the Liao camp simply raised a white flag, refusing
to fight.

Yang Zongbao was now only worried about one thing: the army's provisions.

"Zongbao, it's getting late, you should rest," Princess Chai said with concern.

"Mother, you go and rest first. I still need to inspect the city's defenses."

"Oh!"

Princess Chai sighed softly, then suddenly rushed forward and hugged her son. Since losing her husband,
she had devoted all her attention to her son.

Yang Zongbao was held in his mother's arms, and he smelled a refreshing fragrance. His mother's full breasts aroused
a strange feeling in him.

Oh no, a certain part of his body was reacting, for some inexplicable reason.

"Mother, please don't..."

Yang Zongbao gently pushed his mother away. Although he wanted her to hold him a little longer, he was, after all,
a commander in the army, and they were currently on the city wall. Every move they made was under the watchful eyes of the soldiers guarding the city, and he absolutely could not
show any affection.

Princess Chai also noticed her son's physical reaction. Her face flushed, thinking that this child actually
reacted to her at a time like this, he really deserved a beating.

However, this was just a small interlude, and no one except the mother and son noticed it.

"Zongbao, it's getting late, and there will probably be a fierce battle tomorrow. You should rest early and remember not
to overwork yourself."

"Mother, I know! You go back and rest first, and I will come to keep you company after I finish checking the city defenses..."

He spoke very softly, and his eyes looked at his mother with a slightly ambiguous look as he spoke. Princess Chai naturally
understood her son's implied meaning. She lightly spat and said, "Who said I needed you to accompany me?"

Zongbao chuckled and said, "Mother, I meant I'd accompany you to practice your martial arts!"

At the mention of martial arts, Princess Chai's pretty face flushed even more. She glanced at the surrounding soldiers with her alluring eyes, and seeing
that no one had noticed their conversation, she felt relieved and said, "Then Mother will go back first."

The mother and son parted ways on the city wall. Princess Chai returned to her tent first, while Yang Zongbao led a group of personal guards to continue patrolling
the city defenses . Despite his young age, he was very experienced.

Zongbao inspected all four city gates one by one, and seeing that the guards had not neglected anything, he felt relieved.
