Synopsis

Emperor Xizong died, Zhaozong took the throne, and the Central Plains lay in ruins.

Lin Xiao opened his eyes to find himself a dying deputy general in the Heyang military province.

To the north lay the curved blades of Li Keyong’s Crow Army; to the south, Zhu Wen’s heavily armored Hall Guards. Arrogant troops and fierce generals lurked to the east, while to the west, Chang’an’s last light was as faint as a bean-sized flame. Heyang was a tiny patch of land, surrounded on all sides by enemies.

He knew Zhu Wen’s ruthlessness, understood Li Keyong’s weaknesses, and knew all too well that the remnants of the Tang dynasty were hanging by the blades of the military governors.

A soul from a thousand years in the future, armed with the killing and scheming recorded in the history books, would raise Heyang’s military standard in this shattered Central Plains.

He would be no one’s lackey and bow to no one.

With blood for ink and war for a brush, he would make this standard strong enough to withstand the storms of the dying Tang and subdue the ferocious wolves of a chaotic age!
