The first year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1205) was Tomb-Sweeping Day. An old man in his 60s boarded the Gu Bei Pavilion with his sword in the storm. Through the rain curtain, he fell in love with the great rivers and mountains in the dark, thought of the people who were about to go to the Northern Expedition, and thought of the ravaged adherents under Hu Tieti. With mixed feelings in his heart, he wrote a poem that never died:
I have been back to the south for forty-three years, and I still remember the war scenes in Yangzhou.
Looking back, there was a crow club drum under the beaver temple.
Who can ask: Lian Po is too old to eat?
The old man longed for a general like Lian Po to go to war in the Great Song Dynasty to recover the Central Plains and make up for the shortage of Jin 'ou.
However, it happened that such a patriotic general who was admired by people was abandoned by Zhongjun in his later years, fled abroad, drifted from place to place, and finally died with regret.
