Synopsis

I enlisted at fifteen and did not return until I was eighty. On the road, I met someone from my hometown. Who is left in my family? I looked from afar toward my old home: pines and cypresses stood in row upon row over graves. The Five Barbarians ravaged China, and the Central Plains sank into chaos. Beasts held sway at court, while wild animals ran rampant in the streets.

This was an age teeming with talent. Among the Eastern Jin’s able ministers were Wen Jiao, Yu Yi, Zhuge Wuxu, Yin Hao, Cai Mo, Sima Yu, Xie An, Xie Xuan, Wang Tanzhi, Wang Biaozhi, Liu Laozi, and Liu Yu. The age’s famed generals included Li Shi of Cheng Han; Yang Yinglong of Chouchi; Zhang Chonghua of Former Liang; Fu Hong and Fu Jian of the Di; Yao Yizhong, Yao Xiang, and Yao Chang of the Qiang; Shi Hu, Shi Zun, and Shi Jian of the Jie; Murong Jun of the Xianbei; Tuoba Shiyijian of the Xianbei; Liu Weichen of the Xiongnu; Helian Bobo; and Ran Min and Li Nong of the Qihuo Army.

Lu Yuan, an overdramatic young man, accidentally transmigrated to this era. Everywhere he looked, he saw desolation, and the blood in his heart began to boil. Taking the name Huan Wen and drawing on a thousand years of knowledge, he devoted himself to the northern campaign to reclaim the Central Plains and restore his homeland. He married the reigning emperor’s princess and became confidants with the empress dowager. He united the great clans, implemented land reforms, and strengthened the nation. Then he led a western campaign against Cheng Han and a northern campaign into the Central Plains, drilling his troops and pressing onward. After vanquishing the northern tribes, he finally forged an era of his own.

Any Recommendations for Novels Where the Protagonist Summons Historical Generals and Mixes Them Into the Story? I'm Out of Books to Read!!

Three Kingdoms, Warring States, either is fine. I’m out of novels to read: looking for stories where historical generals are summoned and characters from different eras get mixed in.
