乐羊 / Le Yang
乐羊 / Le Yang appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》06丨魏文侯选谁当宰相呢（1） as another person 翟黄 says he recommended to 魏文侯. In Di Huang’s account, Le Yang is the recommendation for attacking 中山国.
The source mentions Le Yang mainly as evidence in Di Huang’s chancellor argument. His page is therefore source-scoped and connects the episode’s personnel-judgment question to military expansion and Talent Referral Quality / 荐才层级质量, rather than treating him as a full military biography.
《资治通鉴·周纪》52丨 陈庄叛秦 端起碗吃饭放下碗骂娘 returns to Le Yang as a lineage marker for 乐毅. The episode uses Le Yi’s descent from Le Yang to connect Yan Zhaowang’s new talent recruitment to an older Wei military-service precedent.
《资治通鉴·周纪》57丨古代发毒誓还有这作用？ reuses Le Yang as 甘茂’s ruler-trust example before the 宜阳 campaign. In Gan Mao’s telling, Le Yang takes three years to conquer Zhongshan, and 魏文侯 later shows him a box of slanderous letters to prove that the ruler’s trust made the victory possible. Le Yang therefore becomes a case for 谣言侵蚀信任 and 盟誓约束下的统帅信任, not only referral quality.
