In the fifty-third year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty (262 BC), it was the late Warring States period.
In the world at this time, the pattern of seven heroes standing side by side has been shattered by the iron hoof of Qin. King Qin Zhaoxiang adopted Fan Ju's strategy of "diplomating far away and attacking close" and directed his troops directly towards South Korea. Qin general Bai Qi conquered Yewang, cutting off the connection between the mainland of Korea and Shangdang County, and Shangdang became an isolated enclave.
The King of Han was cowardly and wanted to offer the party seventeen cities for peace. However, Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County, was unwilling to surrender to Qin, so he made a shocking decision - dedicating Shangdang to Zhao State, with the intention of diverting disaster to the north and forcing Zhao State to fight Qin.
King Li Ling of Zhao Xiaocheng lost his mind and ignored the opposition of Lord Pingyang Zhao Bao and adopted the suggestion of Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng. In order to benefit from the seventeen cities of Shangdang, he sent General Lian Po to lead his army to Changping to take over Shangdang.
At this point, Qin and Zhao had millions of soldiers in Changping, a narrow strip of land at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. A bloody battle to determine the ownership of the world was about to begin.
[Character profile: Zhao Zhong]
Zhao Zhong, a native of Daijun, Zhao State, is twenty-five years old.
When he was sixteen years old, Daijun was plundered by the Huns. His family was ruined and he was taken in by the Zhao border army. During his nine-year military career, he started out as an ordinary infantryman. With his extraordinary courage and survival instinct honed in actual combat, he was gradually promoted to the rank of chief scout of the front army. He is taciturn, illiterate, and does not understand those profound military strategies, but he understands the wind, the soil, and how to survive among the dead.
