Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

Gu Sila, the once-dominant overlord, is now bedridden due to an eye ailment and leg problems. His sons, Dong Zhan and Xia Zhan, are in conflict, and Dong Zhan has imprisoned Xia Zhan. Meanwhile, Qing Tang is preoccupied with internal issues and neglects the distant Dangchuan Fortress. Wang Shao takes advantage of the situation and disguises his subordinates as Yu Long Ke's troops to capture Dangchuan Fortress. He then sets his sights on Ding Qiang City, which is more formidable in terms of terrain. Despite heavy casualties, Wang Shao leads the charge and uses grenadiers to blast open the city gate. The Song army captures Ding Qiang City, leaving Qing Tang's gates wide open. Wang Ning An receives the good news and decides to consolidate their gains and prepare for the next round of combat. He requests troops to be sent to Kitakami to capture Ling Tao Fortress and Jie He Fortress. Ye Li Yu Qi suggests providing food relief to the Aoi people, who are struggling due to a harsh winter. However, Wang Ning An declines, citing the Great Song's limited resources and the difficulty of transporting grain. Yu Mu, an old fox, tries to persuade Wang Ning An to provide aid to the Aoi people, but his true intention is to expand his own strength. Wang Ning An sees through his plan and refuses to provide aid. Meanwhile, merchants from Xijing and Bashu are recruiting workers for the Song Dynasty, offering them a better life. Yu Zhi Cai, who seeks revenge against Yu Mu, is involved in human trafficking, selling people to the Song Dynasty in exchange for armor and weapons. The number of refugees fleeing to Dingqiang City increases, and Wen Ji Fu receives batch after batch of herdsmen, sending them to work in cement workshops. The slaves are treated poorly, but at least they can eat their fill while working.
