Synopsis

After the Battle of Chanyuan, the Song emerged victorious, but Emperor Zhenzong, Zhao Heng, signed a humiliating treaty with the Liao, agreeing to pay annual tribute. At home, he promoted a policy of favoring civil officials over military commanders. He also performed grand ceremonies at Mount Tai, built palaces on a massive scale, and engaged in superstitious rites, squandering public resources and emptying the treasury. The Song not only failed to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but also watched the Tangut tribes, once vassals of the Song, seize the opportunity to rise.

The father and son Li Deming and Li Yuanhao devoted themselves to strengthening their state. With the help of the Han Chinese Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan, they carried out reforms and built up Tangut power. After waging numerous wars, they defeated the neighboring ethnic tribes, seized the five prefectures of Dingnan and the Hexi region in turn, took control of the Hexi Corridor, and began to oppose the Song.

Known in the martial world as the Sword God of the Northwest, Chai Wuwei was the grandson of Chai Rong, Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou. He had trained in martial arts and Taoism on Mount Hua since childhood, mastering an invincible sword style and the art of war. He had long been deeply dissatisfied with the Song policy of favoring civil officials and suppressing the military. Later, he met She Mudan, the daughter of the She family of Fuzhou, and the two fell in love. At the She family’s urging, Chai Wuwei began helping the Song fight the Liao and pacify Western Xia.

He took part in many campaigns, including the defense of Khotan, the Battle of Jinming Fortress, the Battle of Sanchuan Pass, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and the Battle of Dingchuan Fortress. Many heroes emerged during these wars, among them Di Qing, Zhong Shiheng, Liu Ping, and Shi Yuansun.
