I Became Crown Prince Before Chai Rong's Death

In the first year of Xiande, on the plains of Gaoping, the army was routed and the emperor was surrounded. This was the battle in which Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou, Chai Rong, came closest to death, and the beginning of the Song Dynasty's three-hundred-year regret.

Xiao Lie transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking officer in the Later Zhou imperial guards, and brought along a System called Imperial Hegemony. Armored cavalry, black powder, warships, maps of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun... With enough Hegemony Points, there was no battle he couldn't win.

But when he checked the date, his heart sank: it was 954 AD. Chai Rong had only five years left, Zhao Kuangyin had already built up a following in the palace guard, and the yellow robe for the Chenqiao coup was being sewn.

Then someone else would have to play this game.

From leading three hundred scattered soldiers in a charge through enemy lines to becoming commander of the Dragon Sparrow Guard; from a surprise attack at San Pass to the assault on Jianmen; from blowing apart Jianmen Pass with gunpowder to crushing Southern Han's elephant formation with his fleet.

Step by step, Xiao Lie turned the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms into one unified realm.

“The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been beyond the Song Dynasty's reach for three hundred years. I will reclaim them.”

“The yellow robe from Chenqiao will not be placed on Zhao Kuangyin.”
