In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban set fire to the prairie fire, and the chaos of the late Han Dynasty suddenly began. Everyone knew that Cao Liusun would eventually conquer the world. Heroes from all walks of life rushed to defect and were squeezed into the deadlock of involution among the princes, but no one saw it. Millions of refugees were wailing and perishing in the flames of war. The soul of a modern young man is Shen Yan, the Yellow Turban Canal Commander at the bottom of the late Han Dynasty. He starts with bad cards: no city and no food, soldiers are hungry and tired, the army is encircled and suppressed, and civil strife is frequent, and he is trapped in a desperate hell mode.
He knew very well that the traditional Yellow Turbans' plundering and blind rebellion could only lead to destruction, and relying on Cao Liusun and other princes would only serve as a minister and a wedding dress. So Shen Yan changed his destiny against fate, abandoned all mainstream shortcuts to rise, and embarked on a unique path of counterattack by increasing the number of refugees! He adhered to the bottom line and never recruited any civil or military officials who were loyal to the princes. He only accepted yellow turban generals, hermits in the mountains and homeless people under his command. Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Zhang Yan, a group of yellow turban heroes who were buried in the troubled times, all returned to their hearts and served for them.
From a bandit in the mountains to a powerful leader, from having no land to sitting on mountains and rivers. When the princes exhausted their vitality and the Central Plains was devastated, Shen Yan brought all the people back to their hearts, and the best soldiers and generals took advantage of the situation to go out and sweep away the heroes. He did not join a noble family or attach himself to the princes, but in the name of the Yellow Turban, he established a country of refugees, ended a hundred years of chaos, and cultivated thousands of miles of Han territory!
