Is “Historical records document his achievements in capturing prefectures and commanderies, while the novel adds a dramatic ending of his death by illness or in battle.” true?

The official history 'History of Song: Biography of Yue Fei' records his true colors: 'The bandit Guo Ji, hearing of Yue Fei's arrival, fled into the lake. Yue Fei sent Wang Gui and Fu Qing to pursue and defeat him, and also sent persuasive speakers Ma Gao and Lin Ju to make all his followers surrender.' The novel 'The Story of Yue Fei, Chapter 75' retains some of his image, but specific plots such as 'Dong Yaozong said to Wang Biao: "Third brother, your descendants have come"' are full of fictional flavor.
