Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

In the chapter, the Qi Dan warrior from the Wa Kingdom defeats multiple opponents, flaunting his strength and provoking the Song Dynasty. Gou Ya Er, frustrated by the warrior's arrogance, seeks a way to defeat him, considering bribery or sabotage. Fo Yin suggests drugging the warrior, but Gou Ya Er is conflicted about the ethics of such a plan. Song Xiang advises Gou Ya Er to adopt a broader perspective, suggesting that losing a wrestling match does not diminish the honor of the Song Dynasty. He proposes organizing regular tournaments to recognize all talented athletes, regardless of their origin, which surprises the Khitan delegation. Song Xing presents a plan to create statues for champions, regardless of their nationality, aiming to honor their achievements rather than focus solely on winning. Gou Ya Er realizes that Song Xing is cleverly using the situation to manipulate the Khitan warriors into becoming part of the Song Dynasty's narrative.
