This book uses the reign of Zhou Shizong and Chai Rong as a hard-core historical basis, strictly follows the official historical process without any modification, and integrates the setting of modern border guards' time travel into the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The protagonist, Shen Ci, is a small colonel in the frontier army. With his historical knowledge and military literacy, he defends the territory at Yanmen Pass. He fights against the emperor and faction Feng Dao, eliminates corruption and pacifies the feudal town. He follows Chai Rong to conquer Huainan and restore Yanyun Prefecture.
The whole book combines the rigor of historical textual research with the Machiavellian passion of Internet writing. The protagonist does not change his fate against the will of nature, but only uses his loneliness and loyalty to complete the historical details. It not only writes about the tragedy of the frontier troops in troubled times, but also writes about the heroic spirit of the British Lord's Northern Expedition. It uses the core of loyal ministers to protect the soil, pokes at the feelings of family and country, and creates a historical conspiracy novel with both excitement and texture under the real historical framework.
