The third year of Emperor Jing's Houyuan era!
The Han Dynasty has only recently been established, and every industry is waiting to flourish. Emperor Jing intends to reduce the power of the feudal lords, but the Rebellion of Wu and Chu breaks out, leaving the Han desperately short of talented generals.
The first thing the ambitious and far-sighted Emperor Jing does is issue an edict calling for worthy men. The news spreads across the country, inspiring scholars everywhere. Some are recommended, while others put themselves forward, and worthy men from all over gather in the capital.
When an imperial edict is issued, the entire court is left dumbfounded!
A fifteen-year-old boy is appointed Grand Marshal and given command of the nation's entire army!
"Brat, what makes you qualified to take the position of Grand Marshal?"
"I can put down the Rebellion of the Seven States, destroy the Xiongnu, defend the north against the Wuhuan and Xianbei, sail across the sea to destroy island nations, march straight to Loulan, subdue the three northern Yue kingdoms, and wipe out Goguryeo... Anyone who dares invade our mighty Han, no matter how far away, will be killed!"
"All right, stop talking. I'm convinced..."
And so the young Grand Marshal Huo Yun mounts his warhorse and begins his campaign across the land!
