Beginning with Xue Gang's flight to Fengzhen after his rebellion against the Tang, this tale follows his remarkable journey as he builds up troops and launches a campaign in the northern frontier, wins over the local people, and ultimately achieves the restoration of the Tang. It brings to life the natural scenery and diverse cultures of Tang-era Fengzhen, traces Xue Gang's growth from “rebel general” to “righteous commander,” and celebrates loyalty, honor, and devotion to one's country.
