Mu Guiying of Yang Jiajiang: Is there really Mu Guiying in history? How did she die?

How did Mu Guiying of Yang Jiajiang die? Is there really such a person as Mu Guiying in history? People who have watched the TV drama version of Mu Guiying must have been impressed by this character. She was originally the daughter of Mu Yu from Mu Ke Zhai. She was superb in martial arts, clever and courageous, and was full of warfare and military strategy, because she fought before and wisely captured Yang Zongbao. This was an opportunity, and then he married him and became a member of the Yang family, and set out to defend his family and the country. But if you really want to find out whether Mu Guiying's existence is true or false, then there are divergent opinions, and each has its own arguments.

Mu Guiying's story has been set in the minds of many people, but what kind of ending Mu Guiying and the female general Yang had in the end is rarely touched. In "The Romance of the Yang Family", there is no Mu Guiying among the twelve widows. Mu Guiying had passed away when the twelve widows appeared, but did not explain the cause of death. Many of the stories and legends about Yang Jiajiang that can be seen now are incomplete. For example, on the one hand, it is said that Yang Wenguang died of emergence, and on the other hand, it was said that Yang Wenguang flew back to lead the army again. There are many places where there is no connection in the middle, and Mu Guiying’s death is probably in this missing paragraph.

Mu Guiying is a heroine who is very respected by the people, and the story of the female generals of the Yang family, especially Mu Guiying, is widely circulated among the people. Mu Guiying is a character in Xiong Damu's novel Biography of the Northern Song Dynasty, also known as the Biography of the Yang Family. Originally, the story about Mu Guiying was widely known by the people. Later, after being adapted into dramas and film and television dramas, Mu Guiying's character image became even more popular, and it can be described as a household name.

Mu Guiying was originally the daughter of Mu Yu, the master of Mu Ke Zhai. She was intelligent and brave since she was a child. Legend has it that nine goddess taught him the skill of flying arrows and flying knives, so her martial arts are extremely high, and ordinary people are not his opponents at all. For the sake of his daughter, Mu Yu thought of a way to recruit relatives in a martial arts contest, and wanted to find a good son-in-law for Mu Guiying.

Yang Yanzhao (Liu Lang) led the army to meet the enemy, Yang Yanzhao clearly recorded in the "Continued Zizhi Tongjian Changbian": "Yanzhao, whose real name is Yanlang, avoid the taboo of the saint ancestor, and change it." "Shengzu" refers to the Northern Song Dynasty imperial court The worshipped god, Zhao Xuanlang, is called Zhao Gongming. The Liao general Xiao Tianzuo and the magical old Taoist Yelu Haonan formed the world's first formation-Tianmen Formation. There are 108 formations in this formation. The big formation implies small formations, crisscrossing, endlessly changing, and windy. The ghost cries the wolf howl, once the Song army enters, the Liao army releases poison gas. This kind of poison makes people hallucinate and loses combat effectiveness! Only Mu Kezhai’s dragon tree can be broken.

The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty learned that Jianglongmu had spirit and could protect the army from winning, so before the army went on war, he ordered the Yang family to offer Jianglongmu. So Song sent Meng Liang and Jiao Zan to Mu Ke Zhai to steal the Dragon Wood, but Mu Guiying, the daughter of Mu Yu, was killed by the village owner, Mu Guiying, who lost her helmet and abandoned her armor, and fled in defeat. It happened to meet Yang Zongbao, the son of Liulang, who was escorting grain and grass back to the camp. Mu Guiying couldn't help trembling when she saw Yang Zongbao. It turned out that Mu Guiying rescued the injured Yang Zongbao three years ago, when he was studying art in Lishan Zixia. The two fell in love at first sight. Master Li Shan, Master, dedicated Mu Guiying's life to Yang Zongbao.

However, the ending of Mu Guiying in the novel still did not end well. At that time, 51-year-old Mu Guiying led 12 widows as the vanguard of Xixia. Unexpectedly, Xixia's ambush in Tiger Wolf Gorge. Suddenly, a thick group of cold arrows shot out, and Mu Guiying and other three women died on the spot. Several other women who remained under the cliff saw the ambush at Mu Guiying's place and hurriedly rescued them together, but the cliff was too steep, and only nine female generals with the best Yangmen Kungfu climbed up. Because they were outnumbered, the women finally died on the top of the cliff. The group was shot to death by the Xixia Army in Tiger Wolf Gorge. The body was thrown under the cliff, and the head was chopped off by the Xixia Army and taken away.

When Taijun She arrived, only the corpses of the "twelve widows" captured by Yang Paifeng were seen. Everything was too late. Since then, the cliff where the Yang family's lady general's body was found has been called the Cliff of Tears. It is said that there is a Yang family tomb under the mountain, which contains the body of the Yang family's widow. This mountain is called "Widow Mountain". The ending of the novel makes people sigh. Mu Guiying, a famous heroine in history, who has rarely failed in his life, turned out to be such a tragic ending.
