Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

In Chapter 1082, Song Xiang struggles to accept Wang Ning An and Wen Yan Bo's views on military matters and the treatment of soldiers. He acknowledges Ma Tao's potential but expresses skepticism about the luck of others in the military. Wang Ning An argues that the key to improving soldiers' lives lies in resources, suggesting that those who pass the imperial examination attract favorable marriages due to their status. Song Xiang challenges this, insisting that scholars should not be undervalued. The conversation shifts to the harsh realities of resource allocation, with Wen Yan Bo emphasizing that treating soldiers well requires sacrifices from the common people. Song Xiang warns against stirring up trouble, but Wang Ning An and Wen Yan Bo are determined to take action in the northwest, even if it means violence. Song Xiang, feeling powerless, reflects on his position and returns to a simple life, finding solace in his students' successes. However, he is troubled to learn that his new servant women were taken from tribes conquered by the court, leaving him conflicted about his role in the ongoing conflict.
