General Xiao Jue and Emperor Li Shen were childhood friends. Xiao Jue led 300,000 black-armored troops to quell the barbarian rebellion in the north for thirty years. However, this army only recognized military orders and not imperial power, which aroused Li Shen's fear. On the day of Xiao Jue's triumphant victory, Li Shen took back the tiger symbol representing the highest military power in public and arranged an ambush to prevent mutiny. Xiao Jue did not resist, calmly handed over the tiger talisman, and took the initiative to request to be discharged and return to the field.
