The emperor of Jin was tyrannical and built a lot of construction projects for his own pleasure. The people were in dire straits, and the princes from all walks of life raised armies. The Li family in Jiangdong is a descendant of An Guogong. They took advantage of these troubled times to disperse their family wealth and recruit celebrities in order to achieve eternal hegemony. Li Ao is a young hero, versatile in both civil and military affairs. He has won several battles with the Jin army and has gradually conquered all forces. However, he has a fatal weakness: the benevolence of women. Therefore, after getting rid of the emperor of Jin, Li Ao founded the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he did not kill Chen Bangzhi, who had ulterior motives. Instead, he remembered the brotherhood of the past and named him Marquis of Xiqi.
However, Chen Bangzhi was garrisoning troops and accumulating food, and was determined to conquer the world. He knew that Ying Bufan, the general of the Zhou Dynasty, loved his wife Ning Yunshang very much, so he took advantage of this to cause conflicts between the emperor and his ministers. The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded in the early days and was inherently unstable. After being instigated by Chen Bangzhi, those with selfish desires sent troops to attack Li Ao, hoping to divide his empire. Ying Bufan hated Li Ao and swore to kill all the Li family, so every time he encountered the Zhou army, he killed them all.
When Li Ao saw the general trend clearly and understood that his own weaknesses would never allow him to become the master of the world, he took the remaining troops of Dazhou and retreated to the mountains. The river surrounding the mountain is extremely dangerous, not to mention there is also the Valley of Broken Souls, which is like the Bagua Formation, making it impossible for outsiders to get in or out. At this time, Ying Bufan was helping Chen Bangzhi conquer the east and west to dominate the world, and had no time to take care of Li Ao. When Chen Bangzhi became emperor, the country gradually stabilized, and he had enough strength to attack Li Ao. It was already fifteen years later when Chen Fuyu, the son of Chen Bangzhi, succeeded to the throne.
