From the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, you can appreciate the scenery of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
From the perspective of a powerful minister, laugh at the intrigues and intrigues of people's hearts.
Set in the Later Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it focuses on the strategies and conquests of Shatuo general Li Congke.
In the fourth year of Kaiping, internal suspicions arose in the Later Tang Dynasty. King Li Cunxu of Jin Dynasty gradually became interested in murdering Li Siyuan and his son, who had great achievements in seizing the throne. As the adopted son of Li Siyuan, Li Congke grew up in a military camp and acquired martial arts and strategy, but he was reduced to a pawn in the chess game of troubled times. Outside the city of Weizhou, he held a secret message. On one hand, he saw the precarious situation of his adoptive father, on the other hand, he had the eager gaze of the Hou Liang army, and he had to deal with the arrogant rebellion of Wei Boya's soldiers.
From the beacon fire at Huanshuiguan to the bloodbath in Weizhou City, Li Congke was shocked at every step in the betrayal and fighting. He witnessed the tragic death of his brothers and the change of ownership of the city. In a desperate situation, he not only had to protect the people loyal to his adoptive father, but also saw through the serial conspiracy between the King of Jin and Hou Liang. When Taiyuan's murderous intentions intersect with Bianliang's temptations, and when family ties and loyalty face choices, Li Congke gradually understands: In troubled times, only by holding on to swords and guns and strategizing can he survive in this chess game of the jungle, protect the people around him, and even shake up the crumbling world.
