Reborn as a Border Guard, I Lead Troops to Conquer All

Modern special forces soldier Chen Lie opens his eyes to find himself a lowly foot soldier at the northern frontier. His superiors shortchange him, his fellow soldiers bully him, and the enemy sharpens its blades just beyond the wall. Picking up a battered saber, he draws on the tactics and ruthlessness of his past life to fight his way through a scouting mission, wins Han Xiao's loyalty as a sworn brother, intimidates the veteran general Wei Zhong, and catches the attention of the female spy Su Wanqing, who watches him from the shadows. With corruption rife at the frontier and military provisions embezzled, he fights war with war. When the Northern Liang cavalry bears down on them, he springs an ambush that defeats the enemy without a single casualty. From camp cook to centurion and then officer, Chen Lie tramples his enemies step by step, all while being swept into a maelstrom of court and frontier intrigue. But his goal is more than simply defending the gates: he intends to conquer every corner of the land and leave it free of foreign threats.
