Awake, command the world's power; drunk, lie in the arms of beautiful women. Five thousand years of splendor and turmoil, of right and wrong, success and failure, all vanish in the end.
The rolling yellow sands cannot express the desolation of dying wrapped in one's own armor.
The previous khan has just died. The new khan, Esen, has survived the bitter struggle for power among his brothers.
To fulfill his father's last wishes, he joins forces with his younger brother Boro, the only one to surrender to him during the tribal war, crosses the desert, and attacks the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Their first battle ends in a great victory. The weakened and faltering Zhou Dynasty cannot withstand the ambitious wolves, and the Oirat army is unstoppable.
Yet the emperor of Zhou, Chang Hong, does not realize disaster is at hand. All he knows is that this is a golden opportunity to lead his troops into battle and prove his own strength.
