In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River with iron hooves. The eighteen-year-old cook Lu Xiaozheng killed the enemy with a kitchen knife in a bloody battle in the grain camp, and was promoted by Zong Ze, a famous anti-jin general. From then on, a handyman who cooked meals embarked on the road to the God of War.
From the blood-stained shirts in the initial battle at Heishui Slope, to crossing the Yellow River at night and burning the enemy's siege equipment; from leading fifty people to defend the ferry, to commanding three thousand lone troops to create the "Juancheng Miracle" - three thousand versus one hundred thousand, holding on for seven days and seven nights, and finally capturing the king in a night attack and forcing the enemy to retreat. He met and fell in love with the female medical officer Shen Yunshu during the war, and they got married on the battlefield. However, they went to the battlefield three days after their wedding. The couple agreed: "The day when the gold is destroyed is the time to go into seclusion."
However, fate was ill-fated. He disobeyed orders in the Northern Expedition and conquered three cities, and was questioned by the court; he risked his life to rescue Yue Fei who was framed, and was demoted to Lingnan. When the Jin army invaded the south again, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to fight. Lu Xiaozheng, who was over forty years old, put on his armor again and defeated the Jin army in Caishiji. He then led an army of 80,000 to the northern expedition.
Recovering Xiangyang, defeating Tiefu Tu, regaining Bianjing, and drinking the Yellow River - he skillfully used thirty-six tactics, the Fire Bull Formation overwhelmed the 300,000 Jin army, the tunnel battle exploded the Youzhou city wall, and finally went straight to Huanglong Mansion, the Jin Emperor committed suicide, and Jingkang was humiliated. On the day of triumph, the master's achievements are astonishing, rising brightly and falling secretly.
Ten years later, with the rise of Mongolia and a border crisis, the white-haired veteran once again took command and marched to Mobei with his eldest son. After returning from victory, he retreated bravely. At the age of seventy-three, old injuries recurred over the years, and he passed away peacefully in the sunset over the Yellow River.
The emperor suspended the court for three days, the whole army was in mourning, and all the people were in tears. The soul of a generation of war gods returned to the Yellow River, leaving behind an immortal legend from cook to feudal lord.
