Duke Huan of Sui (隨桓公) Yang Zhong (楊忠, 507 – 17 August 568),[3] Xianbei name Puliuru Nunu (普六茹奴奴),[4] formally known as Duke of Sui (隨國公), was a soldier, later general of the Northern Wei dynasty.
In 534, Dugu Xin attacked Jingzhou (then part of Eastern Wei), and brought Yang Zhong along.
After conquering Jingzhou (and killing Eastern Wei's Inspector of Jingzhou (荆州刺史) Xin Zhuan (辛纂)), Yang and Dugu Xin managed to hold it for about half a year, before fleeing to Liang after Eastern Wei counterattacked.
[6] After the establishment of the Northern Zhou dynasty, Yang Zhong was appointed as a marshal and commanded more than ten generals including Yang Zuan (楊纂), Li Mu (李穆), Wang Jie (王傑), Tian Hong (田弘), and Murong Yan (慕容延).
Chen Yinke (陈寅恪), a Chinese historian, did not agree that Yang Jian's family was born in Wuchuan County, Inner Mongolia.
