In the early years of the Republic of China, the country was in chaos. At eighteen, Kang Xiao succeeded his father as military governor of three provinces, commanding a large army and holding the strategic advantage of the lands beyond the pass.
The veteran generals refused to accept him, and unrest brewed beneath the surface. Before his father's mourning period was even over, they were plotting a rebellion.
He reorganized the army with an iron hand, promoted men from humble backgrounds, bought modern weapons, trained elite forces on land, at sea, and in the air, and secured the three provinces.
When famine struck, he opened up the Great Northern Wilderness for cultivation. When foreign powers cast covetous eyes on his lands, he built an air force and fortified the borders.
As warlords fought across the country and the Red Party and Nationalist Party vied for supremacy, both sought to win him over.
He went undercover to Yan'an, where he was deeply moved by the unity between the soldiers and the people.
He met Shen Zhiya, a noblewoman of both talent and beauty. Their teacher-student bond grew deep, and they gradually pledged themselves to each other.
From then on, he vowed to serve his country, leading his troops on campaigns across the nation and helping the Red Party unite the land.
His heart belonged to one woman alone; after a lifetime of war, he became the ruler of all under heaven.
The governors of the three provinces were so wronged. Chapter 77 is written. Is there any chapter about him leading the troops in the war? The romance novel is almost the same.
He's indecisive and doesn't look happy.
