[Introduction to the novel]
Ye Fan is a stubborn gangster from the bottom of the city. He has no father or mother, struggling in the mud like a weed. Everyone despises him and avoids him, thinking that he will eventually die in the dust.
A bloody fight on the streets, a step into death row, a harsh word of advice, and a thought of Nirvana and rebirth.
He abandoned evil to do good and joined the army. With his wild and ruthless spirit, he fought his way through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. With his pure heart, he established a firm foothold in the officialdom and the military.
From a prisoner to a soldier in the army, from a side general to a commander-in-chief, from having nothing to sitting in command with a sword in hand.
He pacified bandits, pacified the people, defended against foreign enemies, eliminated corruption, governed one party, and held up a blue sky in troubled times.
He used to be a gangster on the streets, but he eventually became the pillar of a dynasty and a frontier official with all the power in the world.
This book describes the struggle at the bottom, the iron-blooded military journey, the ups and downs of officialdom, the warmth and warmth of people's hearts, and reveals the most complete transformation of a man.
