On the night of the burning of the city in Luoyang in the sixth year of Zhongping, Li Ru, the most poisonous soldier under Dong Zhuo's account, died from a stab in the back by Lu Bu. In the severe pain of his entire family being wiped out, he was reborn and returned to the city three days before the burning. Knowing that Luoyang would be destroyed and Dong Zhuo would be defeated, Li Ru gave up his vain advice and used a poisonous plot to create a trap of fake death, directing all the murderous intentions of all parties towards the doomed imperial capital, while he himself fell into the abyss of Mang Mountain to obtain the ancient secrets.
"Ember Fire Strategy" locks his peak intellect and gives him the ability to deduce fortune in troubled times; "Bone Forging Sutra" helps him transform from a weak counselor into a strong martial artist who can crack mountains and rocks with his palms and break through armor with his sword, but still hides the ruthless calculations of a poisonous warrior. After coming out of seclusion, Li Ru went into hiding under the name "Mr. Jin" to make plans. He recruited Yuan Shao's abandoned general Qu Yi and rescued Xiliang's fierce general Xu Rong. He cleverly took Jingxiang as his foundation and did not take the usual path of fighting for hegemony.
He improved water drainage and smelted iron to make sharp weapons, promoted the nobility system for craftsmen and the new system of farming to strengthen the people's hearts, and used technology and systems to break the situation. He was not overpowering in a battle of wits, but had a strong character in martial arts. He provoked Cao, Liu, and Sun to check and balance each other, and took action to stabilize the situation at the critical moment. By the time each of the three parties took control of one side, Li Ru had already held Jingxiang and Jiaoliang in his hands, with an army of 100,000 embers and top-notch production capacity to form the fourth pole.
With the aftermath of the Red Cliff still unsolved, Li Ru invited the three heroes to meet at Ruxukou and make an agreement to demarcate the four kingdoms' borders and establish a century-old alliance to end the war. On the high platform at sunset, the ink marks on the final page of "Ember Fire Policy" are still dry. The legend of the poisonous warrior in troubled times ends with a peaceful beginning, and the future of the new world is waiting to be continued.
