The Liao Dynasty flourished, and undercurrents surged in the afterglow of the prosperous age;
The Jurchens rise, and the wind and thunder stir among the white mountains and black waters.
This book has a total of 150 chapters. It is based on the changes of Liao Shengzong to Yuan Dynasty and Kaitai (A. D.
1012) As the starting point to the end of the Jin Dynasty (1234 AD) when Caizhou City was destroyed, spanning more than 200 years of history. From Yelu Longxu's prosperous times to Emperor Tianzuo's exile; from Wanyan Agu's oath to raise an army, to the Jin Ge and Iron Horse's march to Bianliang; from the battlefield showdown between Jin Wushu and Yue Fei, to the siege of Caizhou by the Mongolian and Song coalition forces - the novel panoramically shows the intricate entanglements and dynastic changes between the four regimes of Liao, Jin, Song and Xia.
Here you can see the galloping of the Khitan cavalry, the tough Jurchen men, the tragic blood and tears of the Jingkang Incident, and the prosperity and decline of the grassland empire. The author uses traditional romance writing techniques to integrate official historical context and folk legends, creating hundreds of vivid characters such as Empress Dowager Xiao, Wanyan Aguda, Jin Wushu, Yue Fei, etc. It is not only a magnificent historical scroll, but also a soul-stirring heroic elegiac song.
