Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

Wang Gui's tomb is a simple, almost unnoticed mound covered in withered grass and snow. Wang Xiang used to visit regularly to pay respects but now only does so on special occasions, avoiding his sons who would scold him. Wang Fu and Wang Shou, two awkward individuals, had tried to abandon their Han identity but faced disappointment when Youzhou returned to the Song Dynasty, leaving them feeling lost. Wang Ning An, a young man in a purple robe, scolds Ye Lu Zhong Yuan and boasts about his achievements in reclaiming Youzhou, attributing the victory to his strategies. As he pays respects at Wang Gui's tomb, he reflects on the sacrifices made by the Wang family in battle. The tomb becomes a symbol of pride for the family, with plans to keep it undisturbed for future generations. Wang Ning An encounters Wang Fu and Wang Shou, who fail to show respect initially, leading to an emotional confrontation with their father. Wang Ning An decides to give them a chance to redeem themselves, emphasizing the need for them to embrace their heritage. Upon returning to Youzhou, Wang Ning An finds the city bustling with officials, including Fu Bi and Ou Yang Xiu, who express resentment towards him. Zhao Zhen, now emboldened by the victory, takes a strong stance, promoting several key figures, including Wang Ning An to Duke of Ji, highlighting the Wang family's rising status.
