The first battle appears in Chapter 21, after which various forces gradually emerge, making the story increasingly exciting. In the end, the protagonist returns to the Han Dynasty, awakens his bloodline, avenges his blood feud, repels the Xiongnu, pacifies the Western Regions, and experiences fateful romances with several girls (not a harem novel).

    Chapter Twenty-Two: Bloodstained Millstone Beneath Jinyong City, Child's Bow Shoots at the Heavenly Wolf. The "Liu" banner atop Luoyang's city walls fluttered in the autumn wind, and behind the arrow sacks, Han soldiers' bloodshot eyes were fixed on the endless Jie camps below. Shi Le's fingertips repeatedly traced the characters "Jinyong" on the map, while the military report beneath the imperial seal was filled with casualty figures from the failed siege. Deep within the Xiangguo Palace, six-year-old Shi Min drew his specially made small bow; the moment the wooden arrow left the bowstring, a withered leaf fell outside the window. Unbeknownst to Shi Hu, deep within the tunnel he had dug beneath his feet, icy water was quietly seeping in… West of Luoyang lies Jinyong City. This military fortress, built by Cao Wei and perched atop the Mangshan Mountains, resembled the fangs of a giant beast, firmly guarding the last passage to Luoyang. Its high, thick walls, made of rammed earth mixed with glutinous rice juice, had become increasingly sturdy with centuries of wind and rain, its arrow towers standing tall and imposing. On the city wall, the banner of Liu Yue, Grand Marshal of Han-Zhao and Prince of Ruyin, fluttered fiercely in the wind. Beneath it, Liu Yue, clad in heavy armor, stood with his hand on his sword. His white beard and hair fluttered in the blood-stained autumn wind, and his weathered face showed no trace of the triumphant pride of the victory at Muye, only a steadfast composure and worry. His deep gaze passed over the swarming Later Zhao army below the city, heading towards the eastern horizon.
