Luo Tong's Northern Campaign

Luo Tong Sweeps the North, also known as The Story of the Young Heroes of the Tang, is the first part of The Sequel to The Story of the Tang. In the early Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong leads a campaign against the northern kingdom but falls for the enemy’s empty-fort strategy and is trapped in Muyang City. Cheng Yaojin breaks out to seek reinforcements, while Luo Tong takes up the marshal’s seal and heads north to rescue the emperor. At Huanglong Ridge, however, he is blocked by the northern princess Tulu Jinhua and captured by her. Princess Tulu falls in love with Luo Tong and demands that he marry her, promising to help him save the emperor in return. With no other choice, Luo Tong agrees to the marriage. The forces inside and outside Muyang City then join together and win a great victory.
