Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

Wang Ning An faces challenges in managing the Hengshan front, dealing with herders, captives, and an extended supply line. Attacks from rogue soldiers lead to significant losses, prompting him to send troops to protect supplies and clear out bandits. This reduces their frontline strength to 150,000, weakening their offensive. Di Qing suspects that Li Liang Zuo is intentionally sacrificing the Hengshan front to exhaust the Great Song’s forces, suggesting a defensive strategy instead of further advances. Meanwhile, Zhao Zhen celebrates recent victories, believing they can expand their territory profitably, as shown by the economic benefits from Youzhou.

This creates a conflict between father and son, with ministers divided on the best course of action.
