A tale of revenge and justice begins: brave men and heroic women ride across the battlefield, bound together in life and death, caught between love and hate. It is a story rich with exotic flavor and devotion to both family and country…
In July of 751, Gao Xianzhi, deputy commander of the Anxi Protectorate, led fifty thousand soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate and twenty thousand allied troops, seven thousand in all, into a fierce battle with the Abbasid Caliphate at Talas. Tens of thousands of soldiers were captured and carried off to a foreign land. The imperial court blamed the defeat on Yun Zhize, a common-born general from Jiannan Circuit, accusing him of treason and issuing a warrant for his daughter's arrest.
