In the seventh year of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang conquered the Liao Dynasty, and the world was in turmoil.
In Fenyin County, Hedong Road, Xue Yuan, the "Baoding" of Xuejiapu, risked his life to escape during the expedition to Liao Dynasty and saved his life. No one knows that this body contains a soul from a thousand years later - a retired college student who has read the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and worked as an engineer for two years.
He originally just wanted to survive in troubled times. But he found that he had nowhere to escape - the deserter died, and the whole family sat together. The only way to survive is to find a ladder to rise in the hierarchical Sui Dynasty. Fortunately, he caught up with the big times.
In the ninth year of the great cause, Yang Xuangan raised troops. In the 13th year of the great cause, Li Yuan took action in Taiyuan. In the first year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty was founded.
In the next ten years: the conquest of Western Qin, the destruction of Dingyang, Pingheshuo, the Central Plains, the south of Bashu, the command of troops in the south of the Yangtze River, the decisive battle in Hulao... Xue Yuan's name was not absent from every battle.
He went from Baoding to captain, and from captain to general. In front of Xuanwu Gate, he stood at the most critical choice point in history.
This is not a story about a genius sweeping the world. This is the story of an ordinary person who seized every opportunity in troubled times and finally stood at the top of the empire.
