In the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty, young Lan Yu struggled to survive amidst famine and death, and was taken into the army by his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun. With his extraordinary bravery and military talent, he stood out in the battles of conquering Sichuan and pacifying Yunnan. Finally, he made extraordinary achievements in the Battle of Yuerhai, was named the Duke of Liang, and reached the pinnacle of his life.
However, the ultimate glory also ignited the pride in his heart. He sent troops to destroy customs, insulted Yuan Fei, raised private soldiers, and even openly challenged Zhu Yuanzhang's authority. He was like an unsheathed sword. While making great military exploits, he also placed himself on the edge of imperial power.
With the sudden death of Prince Zhu Biao of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang paved the way for the weak emperor grandson and was determined to eliminate all potential threats. This hero who was once praised as "My Wei Qing" became a prisoner overnight. From a famous general on the battlefield to a death row prisoner, Lan Yu finally realized at the last moment of his life: his enemy had never been Bei Yuan's cavalry, but his own untamed arrogance and the cold and ruthless imperial logic that brooked no threat.
This is not only the fall of a famous general, but also a heavy sigh when an era turns around.
