Young Zhao Kuangyin

In the winter of the third year of Emperor Qianyou's reign in the Later Han Dynasty, a secret report from Bianjing reached Yedu. Guo Wei raised troops to clear the emperor's side, and an army of 50,000 went south. Zhao Kuangyin crossed the river with the army as the leader of the East and West Squadron, and was the first to jump on the north bank of the Yellow River. From Yedu to Bianjing, from Gaoping to Huainan, from the Northern Expedition to Khitan to Chenqiaoyi - he witnessed the collapse and reconstruction of an empire, and also completed the transformation from an unknown soldier to the commander of the Forbidden Army. Guo Wei died after three years in power, leaving a lighter world. Chai Rong came to the throne and had great talents, but died young. The young master has ascended the throne, surrounded by powerful enemies, and the beacon fire in the north has never been extinguished. The three-pass defense line was riddled with holes, and Khitan cavalry wandered through the gaps to test. There is an undercurrent surging in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and everyone with military power is waiting for the opportunity. And the young man who crossed the Yellow River in the cold wind of Yedu is no longer a small leader following others. He made friends with Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi, Han Chongyun, Zhang Qiong, and Murong Yanzhao - a group of brothers with different origins and very different personalities. He met Zhao Pu, a counselor who could help him weigh the pros and cons and understand people's hearts. He carved his name into the foundation of the Later Zhou Dynasty in battle after battle, and saw the direction of the future clearly in every choice. This is a story from troubled times to peaceful times. It is Zhao Kuangyin's journey from the head of the army to the emperor. It was the birth of the Song Dynasty based on the later Zhou Dynasty.
