Should he choose to rely on a seemingly "enlightened" family general in exchange for temporary shelter and resources, but he might become a pawn and abandonment again; or should he stick to the path of rising like a lone wolf, accumulate strength in a more sinister way, and completely break the monopoly of the family.
The deep-rooted family concept of "nine-grade Zhongzheng system" has almost completely blocked the promotion channels for children from poor families. Resources, intelligence, weapons, and mentors are all tilted towards the aristocratic family. The protagonist faces the double encirclement and suppression of "resource depletion" and "systemic discrimination" at every step. There are clearly defined camps in the army, and officers from humble families and aristocratic families are naturally at odds with each other. The protagonist needs to deal with different factions. He must beware of the overt and covert attacks of officers from aristocratic families, as well as the betrayal and alienation of his colleagues from poorer families due to jealousy or fear.
