Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

Zhao Bian and Zhang Fang Ping met with Wen Yan Bo, who was determined to investigate the matter of Yizhou paper money, despite their warnings that it could lead to trouble. Wen Yan Bo was resolute, seeking righteousness and willing to take risks. Meanwhile, in the northwest, a group of soldiers conducted an experiment to test their endurance in the harsh winter conditions. The results were devastating, with seven soldiers dying from the cold. Wang Shao, who had initiated the experiment, was overcome with grief and shame. Wang Ning An, who had been recalled to assist in the investigation, met with Wang Shao and discussed the results of the experiment. They decided to select 200 strong warriors for field training, with the goal of creating a stealthy force that could operate in the harsh winter conditions. Cao Ping, the son of Cao Yi, volunteered to join the training, despite his father's objections. Wang Ning An was impressed by Cao Ping's determination and agreed to let him join the training. Upon his return to the capital, Wang Ning An was confronted by Cao Yi, who was furious about his son's decision to join the training. Wang Ning An tried to calm him down, but Cao Yi was adamant that he would not agree to his son's participation.
