In the third year of Keicho (1598), Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness and was succeeded by his youngest son Toyotomi Hideyori. The leader of the five elders, Tokugawa Ieyasu, took the opportunity to secretly form a secret alliance with a daimyo and divide the territory at will. The following year, Maeda Toshiie, the most powerful of the five elders, died of illness. The relationship between the Toyotomi family retainers headed by Ishida Mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu deteriorated rapidly. In the fifth year of Keicho (1600), Tokugawa Ieyasu launched an army to conquer Uesugi Kagekatsu due to the "Naoe War" filed by Naoe Kanetsugu, an important minister of the Uesugi family. Ishida Mitsunari of the Toyotomi family took this as Tokugawa Ieyasu's violation of the ban on private war, and immediately launched an army north to attack Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu handed over the Uesugi war to his second son, and personally led the army to fight against the Toyotomi generals who supported him. On September 15, the fifth year of Keicho (October 21, 1600), the main forces of the two armies finally fought at Sekigahara in the Mino area...

Real history is often more fascinating than fictional plots. Real events are often beyond the imagination of novel authors. The decisions made by real people when faced with choices can also be used as a reference. This era is extremely popular in China, Japan, and Korea. What is the charm that makes people read it again and again? These plots added by later generations will be even more surprising when restored to their true appearance. This book breaks away from the biographical style of the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, which is difficult to compare and often has conflicting issues. It also draws on Zizhi Tongjian's problem of too simplistic narratives. It uses the method of "taking people with events and narrating them with people" to introduce characters and related events at the correct time of historical events as much as possible. It also includes Chinese poems, Yuefu, and rhetoric written at that time, and explains the allusions cited in them, so that reading the history of the Three Kingdoms is not just history, but also includes more depth and past history. After all, history requires extensive reference, and it is too limited to just look at one era.

There is a huge crisis hidden in the endless darkness. The world that has been created from scratch is seizing the day and night. The chosen one turns out to be cowardly and incompetent. Look at his incompetent drafting to bring peace to the world.

It turned out to be seven figures! Unable to conceal her elation, the woman smiled broadly: "Young Master, thank you. I didn't expect you to love me so much." "This is the breakup fee." Xu Jingang's tone was extremely calm, as if it was a routine matter, once a month. The smile turned to stone instantly, and the woman couldn't believe it: "No, Ang Shao, I won't break up, I really love you." "You should have heard that I, Xu Jingang, can't play with women for more than a month. Don't break my rules. If you don't want to break up, just keep the check. However, I won't recognize you anymore. It's your choice." "No, Mr. Ang, give me a chance. I can change whatever I did wrong. I don't want to break up with you." The woman immediately burst into tears, but she still collected the check first, and then pounced on Xu Jingang like a water snake. His cold eyes glared, and the biting cold light swept across. Xu Jingang slapped the woman back to her seat: "Don't cry." Looking in disbelief at Ang Shao, who suddenly became as fierce as a hell Shura, the woman endured the sting on her face, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and did not dare to say a word. "Ding dong"! At this moment, the elevator door not far from the restaurant opened. Chihiro walked out with tears on her face and pear blossoms in the rain.
