Introduction to the novel
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, war broke out suddenly. Li Shifu, a sixteen-year-old boy from the border army, was forced to be involved in a storm that swept the world. From the bloody battle in Taiyuan to the siege of Bianjing, from being held hostage by the Jin camp to borrowing troops from Xixia, he shouldered the blood feud of his family and country and struggled to survive in the cracks between the three forces of Song, Jin and Xia.
At the same time, Kang Wang Zhao Gou moved from the deep palace to the battlefield, and established an exiled court in troubled times. The destinies of the two young men intersected in the torrent of history. One was bloody on the battlefield, and the other was involved in court.
This is an epic about the growth of a famous young general. It is also a magnificent picture depicting the struggle between loyalists and traitors, the flames of war on the battlefield and the survival of civilization. When the homeland is lost and the mountains and rivers are broken, there will always be people who choose to look north and use their bodies as torches to illuminate the darkest moments.
Reader comments
I've listened to a lot of books and most of them are about romance and love. It's rare to find something like this. I'll write more in the future.
