Bao Zheng and the Yang family belonged to different periods of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he had no chance to save them.

After Pao Zheng became an official in history, the Yang family had already continued to Yang Wenguang's generation, which is the generation of Yang Jiye's grandson. Bao Zheng and Yang Wenguang were about the same age, so Bao Zheng hadn't been born when the Yang family was in trouble, so how could he have jumped in to help the Yang family.

Moreover, Pao Zheng was in charge of civil law matters, and the incident of Yang family generals belonged to political issues, so the matter of Yang family generals was not within the scope of Pao Zheng's management. Even if the Yang Family Piece incident happened during Pao's official period, if the Emperor did not open his mouth to ask Pao to find out the truth, Pao could not intervene on his own initiative.

Yang Yanzhao

The representative of the second generation of Yang family generals is Yang Yanzhao, the son of Yang Ye. In the official history, he is Yang Yanlang. The young Yang Yanzhao was quiet, but always liked to play the game of marching and fighting, Yang Ye saw it and said: "This child is like me." When Yang Ye saw him, he said, "This son is like me." In the future, he would bring Yang Yanzhao along with him when he went to war. Yang Yanzhao grew up in such an environment and became a soldier in his adulthood.

Yang Yanzhao was a valiant warrior, and the rewards he received were all given to his subordinates. His own style of simplicity, strict orders, and soldiers with the sweet **** bitter, inherited the style of Yang Ye. Yang Yanzhao was the first one to fight in every battle, and he shared the credit with his men, so they were happy to serve him. Yang Yanzhao guarded the border for more than twenty years, and the Liao Kingdom was very much in awe of him.

The Liao people were superstitious and believed that among the seven stars in the Big Dipper in the sky, the sixth star was the one that was specially designed for the Liao people, and because Yang Yanzhao was very intimidating to the Liao people, the Liao people thought that he was the reincarnation of the sixth star, and therefore they called him Yang Lulang.

Yang Yanzhao was in the period when the Northern Song Dynasty was defending itself against the Liao Kingdom, and he fought for the defense of the Song Dynasty, winning the love of the people and continuing the fame of the Yang Family Generals.

The legend of Yang family generals through the generations thought that Yang Yanzhao was the sixth son of Yang Ye, so he was called Yang Sixth Lang. But according to history, Yang Yanzhao should be the eldest son. History records that Yang Ye's sons, in addition to Yan Lang, there are Yan Yu, Yan Pu, Yan Xun, Yan Huan, Yan Gui and Yan Bin.
