Lu Zheng, a graduate student in the Department of Modern Military History, accidentally traveled to a chaotic era similar to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and became a low-level officer who was dying on a defeated battlefield. This is an era when the imperial power has collapsed, princes have emerged, foreign races are around, and the people are living in dire straits.
Without a system or extraordinary power, Lu Zheng's only reliance was the military theory, organizational structure, production technology and historical knowledge in his mind that transcended the times. He survived a fatal battle, gathered the remaining soldiers, and relied on modern tactical thinking to win with fewer and more, and gained the first barren foothold.
Here, he met Su Yuejian, a peasant girl whose identity is a mystery. Her wisdom and insight into the world and people's hearts perfectly complemented Lu Zheng's macro strategy. Lu Zheng began to use modern knowledge to "farm": establishing a health system to prevent plague, improving agricultural tools to increase food production, opening an assembly line arsenal, and forming a new army with ideology as the core.
As his power continued to grow, he launched an all-round game from military to economic to ideological with the decadent nobles of the old era, the barbaric and brutal aliens, and his life-long enemies who also harbored ambitions. The plot revolves around how Lu Zheng expanded his territory step by step, eventually overthrowing the old order and establishing a new, powerful, people-oriented dynasty. It tells the legendary story of a passionate man who used knowledge and iron blood to create eternal achievements in troubled times.
