In Shuobei Border Pass, it was snowy and windy.
The Gu family once produced a great man who became a prime minister, but in this generation, all that is left is an old house, a few incomplete books, and a father who is a low-level military attache in the army.
Gu Shengsheng grew up in the border area and among the military. He had seen Hu cavalry marching south, he had seen refugees blocking the road, he had seen old soldiers in the army starving to death, and he had also seen the imperial edicts being lighter than the wind.
When he was sixteen years old, the border army was defeated, his father and brother were bloody, and his family was in ruins. Gu Yan abandoned his pen and joined the army. He started as a humble soldier and fought his way through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. At first, he just wanted to guard the border, guard the Gu family, and guard the king's flag in Dashuo that had not yet completely fallen.
But later he realized that the princes in the temple were fighting for the unity of the party and the dissent, the emperor and his ministers were fighting for life and death, the powerful families were fighting for the land and population, and only the common people were fighting for a way to live.
When there was no cure for the imperial court, when war broke out all over the world, when he had a hundred thousand cavalry and millions of people returned home, Gu Yan finally had to make the most difficult choice.
Should he continue to be a loyal minister of Dashuo, or should he be the end of this troubled world?
This is the story of a humble boy from a frontier army who rose from humble beginnings, annexed the heroes, rebuilt the mountains and rivers, and finally split the land and sealed the borders, redefining the world.
There is no system, slow growth, power-seeking and cold-weapon warfare. It is not brainless and exciting.
