The Dragon Banner of Great Qin: From Death Row Inmate to Emperor of the World

Chen Xiao, a modern special forces elite with the codename “Ghost,” is hit by an artillery shell during a brutal breakout. When he wakes, he finds himself in the most ominous death row in Youzhou at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty.

This is a golden age of countless famous generals and brilliant strategists, but also a dark era where bones litter the wilderness and human lives are worth no more than grass.

He is a condemned prisoner, yet uses his knowledge of geological surveying to fool the warden and make his way from the execution ground to the training grounds;

He is a warlord, forging the Great Qin Mo Dao with the “puddling steel method” and building an iron Great Wall with “star fort theory.” Deep in the Taihang Mountains, he creates a war machine that makes the feudal lords tremble;

He is an emperor. While Liu Bei is still wandering from place to place and Cao Cao is still weighing his options, Chen Xiao has already led the “Great Qin Guard,” armed with gunpowder weapons and manganese-steel armor, to crush the Xianbei beyond the frontier.

From a corner of Youzhou to the struggle for the Central Plains, from pacifying Japan to launching an expedition to Europe. Guan Yu’s Green Dragon Crescent Blade is stained with the blood of Roman legions, while Zhao Zilong’s silver spear flashes along the banks of the Danube. Standing atop Luoyang’s walls, Chen Xiao points to a map of the world and tells his generals, “The land of Han is too small to contain my ambitions. Wherever the sun rises shall belong to the Great Qin; wherever rivers flow, the dragon banner of the Great Qin shall fly!”
