Is “Suppression of Fang La” true?

novel invention

The novel attributes the merit of suppressing Fang La to Song Jiang's army; however, the "History of Song" records that Fang La was suppressed by Tong Guan and others. Although Hou Meng once suggested letting Song Jiang attack Fang La to atone for his crimes, the court did not implement this. The original text records when Fang La was captured: "世忠穷追至睦州清溪峒", and "禽腊以出". (History of Song, Biography of Han Shizhong)
