The Frost Is Heavy and the Sound of Drums Is Cold

Historical background: In June of the second year of Duanping in the Song Dynasty, Wokuotai Khan sent hundreds of thousands of troops from the Huaihe River in the east to Bashu in the west to attack the Song Dynasty on the grounds that the Song Dynasty had regained Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Henan Prefecture in Xijing and Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing and defeated the alliance. At that time, this thousand-year-old city, the military gateway in the northwest frontier, had been looted and looted by the Liao, Xixia, Jin, and Mongolia for several years. It had no taxes and recruits inside, and no city walls outside to protect the people. It was in danger. Tieshan Governor was ordered to lead native troops to the old city's aid. After several days of fierce fighting, more than 7,000 generals died at the northern pass of Liang Pass in the north of the old city. The corpses of more than 30,000 soldiers from both armies were piled up in the countryside. They couldn't bear to look at them. The blood flowed from the pass into the Han River, and its ripples stretched for hundreds of miles. White fish chased the fish, and gulls and herons gathered together. It is a heavy historical story with Gong Sanheng and Xiangyanghua as the main characters defending their homeland and country. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
