The protagonist starts from a primary school in a border county and builds the first controllable cavalry army amid the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, the Wuhuan plunder, Gongsun Zan and the local powerful. The promise of the main plot is fulfilled: readers see how modern military bloggers transform skirmishers, refugees, and frontier troops into disciplined troops.
Start: Lu Zhongzhong was born in the border county of Youzhou. There was only a dilapidated military stronghold, three hundred old and weak soldiers, a refugee camp that was about to run out of food, and a newly awakened hegemonic military and political system with extremely low authority.
Outcome: Lu Chen seizes actual control of a county, establishes the prototype of the Iron Cavalry Mansion, and has 30,000 troops, including 8,000 elite cavalry. He obtains the imperial edict from the Han Dynasty to quell the rebellion, but is regarded as a threat by both Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.
Turning point: Lu Chen defeated the first Wuhuan cavalry using night attacks, false intelligence and horse-rejection formations, proving that modern tactical thinking is feasible in the era of cold weapons, and the system unlocks the 'standard ten-man team formation'. ; He did not massacre the Yellow Turban soldiers, but used farmland, military exploits, and family placement to recruit them. This was the first time he openly broke with the local powerful. When news came from Luoyang that Dong Zhuo had entered Beijing and deposed the emperor, Lu Chen realized that the collapse of the world order was coming early, and decided not to just protect himself.
