The wisdom and bravery in Yang Ye's character
Regarding the characterization of this person, the 'History of Song: Biography of Yang Ye' evaluates him as 'Yang Ye'. But the novel 'The Generals of the Yang Family: Chapter 3' says 'Ding Gui advanced and said: "This campaign, other generals are no match for Song. My lord must summon Yang Linggong from the mountain to send troops to rescue, then we can repel the Song army."' mainly highlighting his personal martial prowess or negative image.
