The four founding generals of the Northern Song Dynasty were Yue Fei, Zhang Zongkui, Yang Liulang and Yang Yanzhao. Among them, Yue Fei, who was once a companion of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, was an outstanding military general and patriot during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei, whose name is Pengju, is a native of Tengzhou, Shandong, and was born in the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1112 AD). His military talent and loyalty were valued by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and he became Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's confidant and strategic strategist. Yue Fei once followed Taizu to fight on the battlefield when he was in the yellow robe, and made great achievements. However, due to the death of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the change of power and infighting in the imperial court, Yue Fei's fate also changed.
Yue Fei was appointed as a Xuanfu envoy in the first year of Baoyou of the Northern Song Dynasty (1038), responsible for quelling the invasion of the Liao State. He showed great military talent in the battle against the Liao army, and won many victories. The most famous is Yue Fei's "empty city strategy", in which he emptied all his troops in the city to show fearlessness and force the Liao army to retreat. This strategic plan has become a good story in ancient and modern military history.
However, Yue Fei's prestige and exploits aroused the jealousy and fear of some courtiers. During the Northern Song Dynasty, due to infighting and political corruption in the imperial court, the power of eunuchs gradually expanded, leading to a series of chaos. Because of his outspoken loyalty and unafraid of power, Yue Fei became a thorn in the side of the eunuchs. His political enemies framed him for rebellion, which eventually led to Yue Fei being persecuted to death.
