General Yang of the Northern Song Dynasty

In the chaotic times of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, when the world was turned upside down and all life was in ruins, vassal towns were separated, powerful men and women emerged together, and the change of political power was as chaotic as a revolving lantern. In this dark age when human relations were ruined and intrigues were overtaking each other, a true hero, the Volcano King Yang Gun, was born, ushering in the glorious beginning of the ten generations of loyalty of the Yang family. As the son of the golden sword Yang Hui and the father of "Yang Wudi" Yang Jiye, Yang Gun was gifted with extraordinary talents since childhood and learned from many talents. He possesses the three unique skills of the family's golden sword, the Xia family's sharp spear and the Jin family's flying hammer. He is famous in the Central Plains for his stunning martial arts. He once formed an alliance with Liu Zhiyuan and Gao Xingzhou Yi in Jinlan. On the journey of holding high the banner of "supporting the Han and destroying the Liao", he gathered troops and horses in Huotangzhai and defeated Taizong of the Liao Dynasty in a bloody battle. He wrote soul-stirring legends such as the battle against Li Cunxiao and the death of Wang Yanzhang. Yang Gun is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has a fierce loyalty and a clear mind about the troubled times. After recognizing the true face of the hero, he resolutely refused the imperial title and protected the integrity of the famous general. This epic not only records the grassroots rise of Yang Gun, but also profoundly affects ten generations of loyal martyrs including Yang Jiye, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Zongbao, Yang Wenguang, Yang Huaiyu, Yang Shihan, Yang Jinbao, Yang Zaixing, and Yang Mantang through his peerless marksmanship and patriotic spirit. When the male generals were killed one after another, the centenary-year-old She Taijun led the twelve widows in the Western Expedition, and Mu Guiying broke through the Tianmen Formation and pushed the feelings of family and country to its peak. The book cleverly combines historical romance with folk allusions, and incorporates cultural essence into the light and shadow of swords. This family legend, which spans a century, has both the heroic spirit of iron bones and the profound love between sons and daughters, and finally becomes a heroic hymn that protects China and will be passed down through the ages.
