The novel is set in the period from the end of Tang Dynasty (874 AD) to the year of Houliang (923 AD).
Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne at the age of fourteen. He was fond of polo and neglected government affairs. He used "Sanchuan" as a bet to hit the ball, which caused an uproar in the world.
He was greedy for fun and ruined the country. He chilled the loyal people and warmed the villains. He angered all the vassals and angered the Li family and his son. Weizhou raised an army and did not know the emperor's side.
Natural and man-made disasters caused Huang Chao and Zhu Wen to rise up. They assembled armies every day, exceeding ten thousand in a few days, and hundreds of thousands in a hundred days, and pushed towards Chang'an with overwhelming force. In desperation, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty fled to Xingyuan under the hostage of the eunuchs.
Huang Chao gained power, allowing Zhu Wen to acquire three people. Their transformation under different circumstances revealed the most terrifying side of life. Zhu Wen made a decisive decision: to raise a new world by himself. He assessed the situation, seized the opportunity, and adopted a two-pronged approach. He sent generals Xie Tong, Duan Shanhu and other generals to control the results of the rebel army and take the opportunity to expand it; he sent Zhang Yingling to formulate the "rest with the people" method, and Qiao Zhuang to conduct private interviews with the people and supervise the implementation of the method.
Zheng Tian and Xingyuan came to the rescue and received the blood edict of the Holy Emperor. They pardoned the Li family and his son, recruited the remaining troops, and recaptured Chang'an.
Huang Chao entered Chang'an and massacred the last hope of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ke used his whistle to command nine thousand cavalry and used the "Sheep Formation" to kill Huang Chao and defeat him. They pursued him as far as Wangmandu and forced him into the Tiger and Wolf Valley.
Zhu Wen created the carriage formation and destroyed Li Keyong's nine thousand cavalry.
God does not allow the sun to sink; the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, and the Liang Dynasty is born.
Purpose: Military power can determine a state, and laws can determine it.
