答案

General Yue Fei,the national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty,was born in a poor and humble family.But he later became an accomplished general and a man of integrity.In his day,minority nationalities on the northern border,such as the Jins,invaded central China repeatedly.As a valiant and wise commander,he once defeated an enemy said to be 500,000 strong with only 800 soldiers on the outskirts of today's Kaifeng.So a commander of Jin sighed,'It is easier to shake Mount Tai than to shake Yue Fei's army.' Thanks to Yue Fei and a contemporary general,Han Shizhong,the shaky regime of Southern Song maintained itself for the time being.
Although Yue Fei and other war hawks had won brilliant victories and recovered the most part of the territory,it was the capitulationists like Qin Hui who wielded real power at court.They even resorted to false accusations to eliminate the war party and finally had Yue Fei sent to prison and executed.At the news,General Han Shizhong asked Qin Hui,'What crime in the world did Yue Fei commit?' To this,Qin Hui replied evasively,'Mo Xu You' which meant 'something fairly likely.' Later the phrase 'mo xu you' entered Chinese to mean a trumped-up charge or a fabricated charge.Yue Fei was only 39 at the time he was executed.
