Beiwei

On July 12, the second year of Jianyan's reign in the Song Dynasty, Zongze, who was left behind in Tokyo, wrote more than 20 letters to persuade Zhao Gou to return to the old capital Bianjing. He became ill with grief and anger and died shouting "cross the river". Zongze's loyal men wanted to secretly escort his coffin back to the south of the Yangtze River for burial. Several old, weak, sick and disabled Huotou soldiers were kept in the dark and followed the troops on this uncertain journey of life and death. Will their journey be smooth? Can all of them reach Jiangnan safely? The war between the Song and Jin Dynasties is still ongoing, and the Song Dynasty has lost Zongze, its pillar of strength. Who else can step forward? Who turned the tide, propped up the building, and protected the Han family for two hundred years? A corner of the turbulent era slowly opened with the dying cry of an old man. (I would like to dedicate this article to another little fish. This work was only possible because of you.)
