杨宋 / Yang Song (late Han)

Overview

Yang Song is a late-Han Yizhou officer under Zhang Qiao whose campaign against Feng Li combines military defeat, generous settlement, tribal submission, and punishment of abusive local officials.

Current Profile

Hanji 790 presents Yang Song as the officer whom Zhang Qiao sends against Feng Li in Yizhou. He defeats Feng Li’s forces, kills large numbers, captures prisoners, accepts surrender, treats Feng Li generously, wins the submission of thirty-six tribal groups, and reports more than ninety oppressive local officials for punishment.

Key Characteristics
