[The graceful and tough young lady x the sharp-edged young general]
When later generations talk about Dayin's famous general Qi Keyan, they are often divided into two extremes.
Advocates praise him as a young genius with uncanny tactics and a well-deserved god of war;
Those who belittle him accuse him of being crazy and rebellious, and he is an eternal sinner who has ruined tens of thousands of soldiers.
Throughout history, he has stirred up controversy;
Under the famous iron pen, he was stingy with his pen and ink.

Three hundred years later.
Yuan Jialuo, the daughter of Duke Ding, was stationed in the north with her father and brother.
She often heard her father and brother sigh:
If Qi Keyan had not been defeated in the battle of Guye Castle, he would have been able to take back his homeland occupied by the barbarian enemies in one go.
It's a pity that the opportunity to fight has been lost. In the past three hundred years, no one has been able to fulfill this long-cherished wish.
On New Year's Eve, Yuan Jialuo wrote a letter home because he cared about his father and brother who were in the army.
Unexpectedly, when I received the reply, there was an unsigned letter out of nowhere.
The handwriting on the letter was vigorous and powerful, saying that he had received a letter by chance. He did not know the name of the sender, but he saw that the letter contained a discussion on the art of war.
*
At first, Yuan Jialuo just thought it was a coincidence.
Later, a second and third anonymous reply letter related to her was sent to her.
Judging from the tone of the person in the letter, she guessed that it was a young man in his prime.
They chatted about military training and trivial matters, and they hit it off very well.
After becoming familiar with each other on paper, they discovered that they were in the same north, probably not far apart.
They made an appointment to meet, but no matter which way they agreed to meet, they ended up in vain.
Even if you follow the prompts in the letter to look for it, you will often find that things are different and people are different.
Doubts grew.
Until she read the origin of his name in his letter——
Ke Yanzhi is in the north, his surname is Qi.
Qi Keyan!
*
For Yuan Jialuo, Qi Keyan is a mystery that she has never understood.
No matter how many historical facts and notes she had read, or how many times she had deduced his military tactics, she still could not understand——
Why was Qi Keyan, who was known as a god with his soldiers, so stubborn in that crucial battle of Yinyan and chose to pin down his elite soldiers in Guye Fort, which had no water source?
After three hundred years of rotation, she never thought that she would meet Qi Keyan in this way.
... Reveal the truth of that year!
Even, work with him to re-fight the battle of Guye Castle and take back his homeland.
