Synopsis

"Across the Sixteen Kingdoms" is a history of the confrontation between the Han people and the barbarians, an era of blood and fire, a poem with trumpets resonating with the sound of bells. How did it all begin and how did it end? How did the various tribes of the Southern Xiongnu who moved into the fortress take advantage of the chaos among the royal families in the Central Plains to create the Hu Dynasty? How can a slave who has been oppressed since childhood work on his own to rise to the top of the Nine Tripods step by step? How did the Murong family in Xianbei, Liaodong, rise from a small tribe to become the [Bailu] cavalry that swept across Guandong? How could an emperor whose mission was to pacify the country bring four-fifths of the world under his control, and then lose it all overnight?

The writing style of this book is very interesting and the writing style is very good! The author tells history in a lighthearted and humorous way, making it a pleasure to read. Moreover, the historical events and characters in the book are explained very clearly. I particularly like the creation of some characters in it, but there are also characters that are annoying. Overall, it's well worth reading!
