Troubled times are like a furnace, and human lives are like grass. Lin Fan, a refugee, took his fellow villagers to escape disaster in Heifeng'ao, but they were plundered by the Gray Wolf Village, and Zhao Tiezhu fought tooth and nail to protect the food. In the desperate situation, he set up the banner of "Guardian Army" to gather people's hearts with the heroic system and enforce military discipline with strict military regulations.
He used salt mines to develop industry and scientifically trained troops to strengthen their combat capabilities. He teamed up with veteran Chen Zhen and surrendered general Shi Meng to expand the country and stabilize the country amidst the light of swords and shadows. Externally, powerful bandits such as Zhou Kui and Cui Wei, who were in charge of the imperial court, revolutionized internal affairs and promoted colonization. They even took advantage of the chaos to rise up and deal with the government, army and vassal towns.
From the establishment of a stronghold to the fierce battle at Tongguan, from driving the barbarians from the north to making the capital Chang'an, Lin Fan, who was from a humble family, relied on his heart to protect the people and his wisdom to manage the world, fought his way through the troubled times, and finally broke through and proclaimed himself emperor, creating a new dynasty created by reckless heroes, and composing a magnificent epic of a humble family counterattacking and reorganizing the world.
