About This Novel
"Don't allow others to snore on the side of the bed!" Zhao Kuangyin's final declaration of annihilation of the Southern Tang Dynasty demonstrated his firm belief in the unification of the world. After thousands of years, it still carries the sound of wind and thunder. Zhang Mingyang uses the literary style of gratification and grudges, two main lines of north and south, and dual perspectives of Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu to recreate the soul-stirring Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms: This is an epic epic that splits the continent and must be reunited after a long time. From Guo Wei, Chai Rong to Zhao Brothers, there are many heroes in the north, whether to "stop war with war" or "promote unification with peace", they are fighting at every step; from the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty to King Qian of Wu and Yue, the political power in the south is relatively peaceful, whether to fight to the death or to "accept land and surrender to the Song Dynasty", they are in a dilemma of survival. This is a cruel trial in troubled times where people are trapped and beasts still fight. Feng Dao went through four dynasties and was scolded as a "shameless person", but he also maintained the cultural heritage and people's livelihood; Han Xizai indulged in sensuality, but could not hide the painful struggle after his ideals were disillusioned; Qian Chu accepted the soil and surrendered to the Song Dynasty to protect the peace of Wu and Yue, but he was still worried about his own safety...
