Introduction to "Dragon Slaying in Troubled Times"
Gu Fan, a modern social animal, woke up and became a refugee outside the city of Yingzhou during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. His parents starved to death, and his younger brother had a high fever. Half of a gold leaf left by his mother was sewn in his arms - "You are not allowed to take it out until you have to sacrifice your life."
This is the year 950 AD. In a troubled world where people cannibalize people, survival is the greatest ambition.
He survived the first day by identifying wild vegetables with grass roots, and burned a way out with a fire in the reed swamp. In the next thirteen years, from the refugee camp to the village, from the village to the battlefield, and from the battlefield to the court - he trained troops in Qinghe, rescued troops in Gaoping, and governed the city in Yangzhou. Guo Wei taught him what a hero is, Chai Rong taught him what a wise king is, and Zhao Guangyi taught him: There are no friends under power.
When Zhao Kuangyin summoned him to Kaifeng with a transfer order, Gu Changfeng knew that this time, he was not going to take the post, but to gamble his life. The younger brother went first with the secret fold. The old soldier Han Qi, who was gray-haired, was still carrying the sword, but the golden leaf in his arms had already been handed over to the right person.
"Troubled times never ask whether people are ready or not. But sometimes they give people just enough time to hand over the heaviest things."
This is a story of climbing from an ant to a chess player. There is the collision between historical predictions and the current of the times, the pretending to be pigs and eating tigers in the game of power, the life and death entrustment of brotherhood, and there is also a person who looks back from a high place and is shocked to realize that he has come so far.
History is the bone, power is the blade. In troubled times, slaying dragons is not only a dragon, but also destiny.
