Traveling through the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, Chen Yan became a pawn in the Xuanwu Army of Bianliang. There is no invincible martial arts here, only the naked law of "power comes from the barrel of a gun"; there is no system to reach the sky in one step, only the deadly blade of treason demanded by arrogant warriors.
His golden finger comes from modern organizational and institutional thinking. When others relied on killing to establish their authority, he used the "Code of Exercise" and points to rally the morale of the army; when the princes plundered to survive, he relied on "garrisoning fields and craftsman camps" to lay a solid foundation. Starting from rectifying a battalion of abandoned soldiers, he established the first place of order that advocated "discipline over plunder" in the cracks of many warlords.
However, the troubled times are like a furnace, burning ambition and morality fiercely. When he came to prominence with his military management concepts that transcended the times, he not only attracted the attention of heroes such as Guo Wei, but was also inevitably involved in a historic game with heroes such as Zhu Wen and Li Cunxu. From the Bianzhou military camp to the Zhulu Central Plains, he will use his own way to answer the most cruel proposition of this era: In the abyss of supremacy of force, can he find a different path and rebuild the backbone of civilization for this collapsed world?
This is a story about how order is born in chaos and how ideals take root in reality.
