Description

Description

Volume One recounts a battle between Song and the Liao State, in which Yang Silang (fourth son) is captured and made the husband of the Liao princess. The State of Wuhan is sending a sushuang horse to Song as a tribute, but when the convoy passes through Youzhou, the horse is snatched by a Liao general. Yang Liulang (sixth son) of Song orders Meng Liang to steal the horse back. Meng kills a fisherman and disguises himself as his son to present fish to Empress Dowager Xiao in Liao. There he runs into Silang by chance. Out of her love for her husband, the princess helps Meng Liang to steal the sushuang horse.
