Gu Chen, the eldest son of the Western Marquis of Youguo Town, is a once-in-a-century genius from Taiping Academy.
When he learned that his father had been betrayed by a traitor and that 300,000 royal troops were pressing on the border, he galloped to the west on horseback overnight.
On a snowy night, he killed seven pursuers with one sword and one man, staining his robes with blood.
In front of the military camp, he rode alone to break through the formation and regained his father's blood-stained command seal from the enemy general.
Faced with the desperate situation of being attacked from both inside and outside, he laid out a series of plans:
First, pretend to surrender to lure the enemy deep, and then use fire to attack their food routes;
Secretly inciting rebellion against the enemy's deputy general and defecting before the battle;
Finally, 800 dead soldiers attacked the enemy camp at night to create chaos.
When the special envoy of King You forced him to hand over his military power with an imperial edict, Gu Chen pointed his sword at the sky:
"The Zhenxi Army will not defend the territory for the national traitors, nor will it serve the faint king!"
In front of the commander's tent, the three armies knelt down to worship the new king.
The flames of revenge have just been ignited.
