The Rise of the Five Dynasties from Jingxiang

Xiao Jin, a top student in the Department of Modern History, once traveled to Xiangzhou in 880 AD and became the governor of Xiangzhou at the age of only 26. He was eight feet tall (approximately 1.8 Meters), with a face like a jade tree facing the wind, and an outstanding bearing. As soon as he took office, he shocked the civil and military forces of Manchuria. At this time, Huang Chao's troops were approaching Tongguan, and the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil. The vassal towns were separatist and refugees were everywhere. Troubled times had arrived. Relying on the vision of a thousand years later, Xiao Jin used Sun Wu's military art as an edge to pacify the refugees internally, organize the government, train a strong army, and develop agriculture and commerce, and built Xiangzhou into a solid fortress in the Jianghan River Basin; externally resisted the Huangchao rebel army, dealt with the feudal princes, and gradually rose from the governor of Xiangzhou to a powerful warlord in the late Tang Dynasty. He wiped out Jingchu with iron-blooded tactics, and traversed the Central Plains with power and wisdom. In the turbulent and chaotic times, he not only protected the people of one side, but also found his own path for hegemony in the chaotic times of the Tang Dynasty, and finally became a generation of heroes who ended the division of the Five Generations.
