Traveling through time overnight, special soldier Wei Yan wakes up at a turning point in history. Faced with the fate of Zhuge Liang's star falling in Wuzhangyuan and himself being killed by Ma Dai, he took the first step to change the chess game - transfer Ma Dai, rectify the Shu army, and reshape the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms with modern tactics.
From standing alone in Wuzhangyuan, to defeating Sima Yi with a small victory and defeating many; from a surprise attack on Chang'an that shocked Cao Wei, to advancing by land and water to pacify Soochow. He kept Liu Bei's kindness in mind and carried the banner of the Northern Expedition with his iron-blooded loyalty. However, on the day of success, he retreated bravely, refused to be granted the title of general, and only asked for a fiefdom to quietly retire into seclusion.
But retreat is not the end. When modern knowledge took root in ancient times - improving farm tools, building water conservancy, establishing schools, developing gunpowder... Deep in the countryside, this "idle prince" quietly promoted the civilizational leap of an era. Until one day, the palace envoy knocked on the door and received a secret edict to break the tranquility - it turns out that peace in the world can never be obtained by giving in.
This is the return journey of a warrior and the journey of a king.
