In the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, various countries had been conquering for hundreds of years. The smoke of war spread over the mountains and rivers, and the people wandered in the ravines.
Thirteen rooms were born out of the blue, and each of the thirteen patriots inherited the soul of "Sun Tzu's Art of War". They used the temple as a platform and the spear as a son to find a way to stop the war and bring peace in the troubled times.
The chess player Shen Yu used centralization of power as a yoke, calculated the hearts of all nations, and shouldered the sins of the world alone; Gu Yan used quick battle to stop the war, Wen Yan used his reputation to protect the people, Chu Xiao used his body to build momentum, Su Mei used his death to seal the outcome, Yue Zheng guarded the pass with flesh and blood, and Lu Xuan's nameless testimony... Thirteen people and thirteen strategies are the thirteen predestined paths to return.
There is no aura of permanent victory, no miracles from heaven, every defeat has to be paid in flesh and blood, and every inch of peace has people dying. Half of the people buried their bones in the flames of war, committing martyrdom in exchange for a break in the troubled times; the survivors inherited the fire, Cen Yi held firm to the foundation, Fang Shuo checked the princes, Chu Lingxi cared for the wounded and educated people, and rebuilt the human fireworks on the scorched earth.
The predecessors promised the Tao with their lives, and the descendants achieved peace with their art. When the flames of war are finally gone, the way of military strategists to help the world will be passed down from generation to generation and will never wither.
Purpose: Through the choices and sacrifices of military strategists in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, we explore the boundaries between machinations and benevolence, interpret the spirit of family and country that ends wars with war and sacrifice one's life, and convey the feelings of helping the world and cherishing peace that are passed down from generation to generation.
