In the third year of Jinghe's reign during the Great Zhou Dynasty, war broke out in the northern border. Hu Lie, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, died on the battlefield, and his son Hu Lieyang was ordered to take charge of the remnants of the army. However, the first military order the new coach received was to "return to the court with his troops" from the capital. Knowing that as soon as the front line retreated, the enemy cavalry could march straight in and approach the imperial capital, Hu Lieyang disobeyed his orders and defended the isolated city.
On the battlefield, Hu Lieyang found a mysterious bronze dragon charm in the coffin of his father who died in battle. There seems to be a strange whisper in the talisman, which can predict the ever-changing crisis on the battlefield. Relying on this strange premonition, he repeatedly thwarted the enemy's plots, only to find that the enemy's troops accurately stepped on his defense line every time, as if someone had leaked all his deployment.
Hu Lieyang peeled off the cocoon and found that all the clues pointed to the Zhenbei Army's military advisor - a man who knew everything and was known as the "Smart Fox". This person's insight into the battlefield situation is far beyond ordinary people's, and every time he "foresees the unknown" is full of weirdness. What is even more shocking is that behind him, there seems to be a deeper pair of black hands manipulating this war, and the dragon symbol is pointing to a secret buried by history...
Who is the real commander in chief? Where is that peerless beast recorded in ancient books that can devour thousands of armies?
