Is “Mystery of his death” true?
based on fact
The novel attributes the capture of Fang La to Wu Song or Lu Zhishen; however, the "History of Song: Biography of Han Shizhong" clearly records that after Fang La retreated to Qingxi Cave, he was captured alive by Han Shizhong's subordinate general. The original text states: "世忠穷追至睦州清溪峒，贼深据岩屋为三窟，诸将继至，莫知所入。" It also says: "格杀数十人，禽腊以出。" (from "History of Song: Biography of Han Shizhong")
