About This Novel
Introduction to the work "Forged Knife" In the chaotic times of the late Tang Dynasty, the emperor fled to Shu, Chang'an was burned down, and the world was like a prison. Seventeen-year-old Xiao Duo, a private salt dealer, took over the sword the year his father was starved to death by the government and embarked on a road with no turning back. In the second year of Qianfu, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao revolted. Xiao Duo led more than 30 salt team veterans to join the Chongtian banner, starting from the Yamen, managing grain, settling accounts, and guarding the city. He doesn't have the domineering power of Huang Chao, the cunning of Zhu Wen, and the bravery of Li Keyong, but he has one thing that others don't have - he lives long enough and can endure it. From Caozhou to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to Chang'an, Xiao Duo watched with his own eyes as Huang Chao stormed into the imperial capital and established Daqi, and also watched as the empire collapsed from within. He once stood in the wind at the head of Chang'an City, thinking that the world was about to change its master; he also witnessed famine and siege under Chenzhou City, and people eating each other, and then he understood how heavy the word "rebellion" was. After Huang Chao's defeat, Xiao Duo was not buried. He lowered his head, changed into a Tang Army uniform, and started over as a small captain under Zhu Wen. In the next thirty years, the Tang Dynasty fell, the Five Dynasties changed, ten kingdoms stood side by side, and the world was torn into countless fragments. Xiao Duo survived one battle after another, served as a surrendered general, served as a prisoner, sold his life for others, and was betrayed by others. Every time you bend down, it's to stand up straighter next time. He slowly accumulated his own troops, his own territory, and his own hearts and minds. In the year when Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe at Chenqiaoyi and established the Song Dynasty, everyone in the world thought that the troubled times were finally coming to an end.
