The Song Dynasty certainly wants to portray Yue Fei.

Don't play around; just diligently organize the historical materials and then shoot them honestly.

  And filming Yue Fei is not just about filming Yue Fei.

To shoot the Jingkang Incident the sky falls and the earth splits.

To capture Zhao Gou's abandonment of the capital and the difficulties of fleeing, the arrangement of abandoning the two rivers, and the execution of Chen Dong and the demotion of Li Gang, summoning laundry maids for pleasure.

To depict Yue Fei fighting bravely in the Tokyo 留守司 (留守司 refers to a 留守 office or 留守 commandery) under Zong Ze, Zong Ze devoted himself completely, and in the end, he was exhausted. On his deathbed, he called out three times for the crossing of the river.

Yue Fei, along with Zhang Xian and Wang Gui, suffered defeat after defeat and fled southward, far away from their hometown of Xiangzhou, like stray dogs, but they never lost their spirit.

To shoot Xu Qing first followed Kong Yanzhou, but in the end, he witnessed Kong Yanzhou oppressing the people, and had a change of heart, breaking ties with him and joining the Yue Family Army.

To shoot Niugao, Dongxian, and others followed Li Yanshen, Dazi, and Xiaozhai in He Luo to fight hard.

After the fall of Shaizhou, Shao Yun was flayed alive by Wanyan Lou Shi, and Li Yanxian, who had broken through the encirclement with a severed arm, refused to live on and threw himself into the Yellow River to commit suicide.

To shoot Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin fought and transferred to the He Luo region, struggling hard under the circumstances of having strong enemies ahead and no reinforcements behind, ultimately Zhai Xing was poisoned by a traitor, and Zhai Jin died fighting.

To shoot the scenes of their hometowns being massacred and their subordinates being slaughtered, Niu Gao, Dong Xian, Li Bao, Liang Xing, Wang Jing, Li Dao can only find ways to defeat the Jins in their repeated escapes.

To depict how these disheartened, defeated, discouraged, and cowardly individuals, these vanquished generals, rural landlords, soldiers, and farmers, who are also battle-hardened warriors, come together, and how they launch one northern expedition after another, fighting bloody battles to reclaim their lost territory.

Yao Pai said to Qin Hui, "If there is no Great Jin, what use does Great Song have for me as Chancellor?" Yao Pai said to Zhao Gou, "This place is extremely blissful, I do not think of the old capital."

To expose the petty and despicable acts of the Southern Song Dynasty's small court, which have betrayed the blood and lives of millions.

To shoot the fourth northern expedition, to shoot the Battle of Yan Cheng.

After Yue Fei captured Yancheng, he hung a sword on a tree and ordered that no one should commit any plunder. Whoever dared to loot would be beheaded with this sword!

Wanyan Wushu personally led a large army to confront Yue Fei, with all the elite forces of the Jin Kingdom, including heavy and light cavalry, in full array, advancing in great numbers directly towards Yue Fei's base, like a mountain pressing down.

  The heavy infantry of the Song army remained unmoved amidst the harassment by the Jurchen cavalry.

To shoot Yang Zaixing leading two hundred cavalry to charge the Jin army formation, to shoot him invincible, to shoot him maneuvering left and right, and more importantly, to shoot him even when exhausted, charging alone into the enemy ranks to directly target Wanyan Wushu, ultimately being killed by a hail of arrows, with the arrowheads collected from his burned body amounting to two liters.

Yue Fei ordered Yue Yun to lead a small contingent of the Backwei cavalry to charge and disrupt the light cavalry of the Jin army 拐子马. "If you retreat, I will be the first to cut you down." Yue Yun, holding two iron-tipped lances, led the heavy cavalry of the Backwei army to suddenly emerge from both flanks of the main formation, fighting a few against many, with blood soaking through their heavy armor, causing the formation of the 拐子马 to fall into chaos.

The Song army's infantry formation moved forward, enveloping the out-of-control 拐子马 (guai zi ma) in a pincer movement.

Yao had no choice but to order the heavy cavalry, the Iron Floating Tower, to charge the Song army's heavy infantry formation head-on to save the 拐子马. Note: "拐子马" (Guai Zi Ma) is a proper noun referring to a specific military formation or unit, and is thus left untranslated.

Yue Fei, as the marshal, personally took the field, fighting with all his might to annihilate the last of the Jin Kingdom's elite Iron Floating Tower troops.

Yao Pai Wan Yan Wushu barely escaped, looking at the slaughtered Iron Floating Tower, he said to his subordinates: "Since the uprising at sea, we have always relied on this for victory, but now it is over!"

To portray the Hebei righteous army, the brave men of Shanxi, the heroes of Shandong, and the valiant heroes of Guanxi responding to Yue Fei. To depict how the upper echelons of the Jin state are in a state of panic, preparing to retreat to Liaodong beyond the Pass.

To capture this moment, the unification of the world has never been so close, the great division since the late Tang Dynasty seems to be about to end, and the world will be stabilized, unified under one rule! The Song Dynasty will eventually become one of the cultural symbols of the Han people, just like the Tang and Han Dynasties. The two hundred years of national prosperity are within reach.

  ..

  Then, take twelve gold coins.

To capture the shock, fear, and anger of the northern people. They stopped Yue Fei's warhorse from returning south and said, "We all rose up in response to the general's call. What will we do if the general returns south?" "We carried incense basins on our heads and transported grain to welcome the imperial army, which the Jin people know well. Now if you withdraw, we fear none of us will survive!"

Yue Fei, in great sorrow, looked up to the sky and sighed deeply: "Ten years of effort, wasted in a moment. The states and counties gained, lost in an instant. The state and the nation, hard to revive. The world, impossible to restore."

  Yue Fei felt disheartened and decided to retire to the countryside.

To portray Zhao Gou's cowardice and selfishness, Qin Hui's flattery, and Wanyan Wushu's arrogance, ‘must kill Fei, to start the peace talks’.

  To have Yue Fei imprisoned.

He Zhu, who had been trying to blacken Yue Fei for over ten years, became increasingly uncertain and fearful while interrogating Yue Fei about his alleged treason. After seeing the tattoo of 'Serve the Country with Utmost Loyalty' on Yue Fei's back, he dared not bear the curse of a thousand years and told Qin Hui that there was no solid evidence.

To shoot Qin Hui, let Wan Si Xie investigate again; even if there is no evidence, it must be made into a dead case.

Niu Gao, at the age of sixty-one, and having served as an attendant, said with great sorrow before his death: "What I regret is that the peace between the north and south has prevented me from dying on the battlefield, and instead I die under the eaves of a house!"

To capture Zhang Xian's sneer when facing torture, to capture Yue Yun's disdain when facing the executioner's axe, and more importantly, to capture Yue Fei being tied up, with two prison guards using large iron rods to break his ribs one by one.

After confirming that Yue Fei was dead, Qin Hui and Wan Shixie laughed heartily, saying to each other that they could now rest easy.

  ..

Finally, there was a tree with a knife hanging from it, and beneath it, the Northern Chinese people waited for the Northern Expeditionary Army. Spring came and went, and the Northern Chinese people died. The village gathered and dispersed, then gathered again. The rope holding the knife broke, and the knife fell to the ground, gradually rusted by wind and water, and eventually turned to dust. Only this tree grew taller and thicker.

Until a helmeted and armored marshal came to the tree, stroking the large tree, and asked the person behind him, "Tian De, you are well-versed. Tell me, who was the person who came to this place during the last northern expedition?"

The middle-aged general behind the marshal thought for a moment and said, "It's probably Yue Fei, Marshal Yue... It happened more than two hundred years ago."

"It has been more than two hundred years." The marshal sighed longly: "It has actually been more than two hundred years, it is truly too long."

After saying this, the marshal fell silent for a long time, then forcefully struck the ancient tree: "In the end, it's still up to me to settle the affairs of this world!"

The marshal turned his head, looking at the generals behind him, as well as the thousands of troops holding up the banner with the character 'Ming'.

  "I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will lead you to settle the century-old affairs of the nation in this battle! Northern Expedition!"

  "Northern Expedition!"
