At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty declined, and heroes from all over the land of Kyushu emerged. The flames of chaos pushed the unknown soldiers in the northern frontier to the battlefield where thousands of troops and horses were brutally fighting. His name was Zhang Liao, and he was known in later generations as the former general of Cao Wei's Five Greatest Generals. A lifetime of military service has made the timid young man who could only tremble under the iron hoof of Mobei grow into a dazzling star that the famous generals in the world dare not look directly at. He led the tiger and leopard cavalry at the foot of the White Wolf Mountain to kill Wuhuan Chan Yu Tadun, and led thousands of elite soldiers to defeat Hefei City. The 100,000-strong Soochow army followed Ding Yuan, Lu Bu, Cao Cao and other contemporary heroes, fought side by side with Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Huang and other contemporary famous generals, and wrote an immortal legend belonging to a famous northern general in the fire of the Three Kingdoms.

Mo Zhai was determined to calm down the troubled times, so he joined Gongshu's sect and learned the art of mechanism. After Gongshumen was suppressed, Mo Zhai witnessed the suffering of the people while on the run, founded the Mohist school, improved the art of organization, and gradually developed the Mohist school. Gongshu Ban wanted to use mechanism skills to start a war, but was eventually defeated by Mo Zhai, and the former master and apprentice finally parted ways. The ultimate bet between Gongshuban and Guiguzi profoundly affected the direction of history.

After the assassination of San Huan failed, Mo Zhai and Gongshu Ban also embarked on completely different paths due to their differences in obsessions. The Mohist family chose to accept the invitation of Princess Yaoli and go to Teng State to rebuild the Mohist family with the support of the monarch; while Gongshuban went to the mysterious Yunmeng Mountain alone to ask for a meeting with Guiguzi, who had come and gone without a trace, in order to gain the power to avenge Sanhuan. Before the Mohist family could settle down, the iron hooves of Lu's large-scale southern invasion swarmed in, and a hundred thousand armored men came toward the capital of Teng State. The Mohist family had to fight in order to survive; on the other hand, the public loser class gradually understood the law of revenge in front of the gate of Guigu, and determined to rely on the power of the political strategist to summon the exiled public loser children. On two different battlefields, Gongshu and Mo, a pair of close allies who fought side by side in the past, are drifting apart amidst the unchangeable changes in world affairs...

After a hard battle, with the help of the Mohists, Teng finally repelled the invading Lu army. But along with the great victory came a more complex and cruel power struggle. Facing the Mohists who were supported by the people, the king of Teng State began to feel suspicious. At this time, Gong Loser, who was forced to the point of desperation by Sanhuan, came to Teng State, and the two organizations and families cooperated again due to an unexpected combination of circumstances. Gongshuban's mind was swallowed up by the fireworks of revenge, but Mo Zhai, who was exhausted mentally and physically after several power struggles, had doubts about his own ambitions. When faced with another betrayal by the public losers, Mo Zhai chose to completely break with the public losers. Gongshu and Mo, who used to be close allies, have now completely turned against each other. When all the conspiracies disappear, the two people stick to their obsessions, cut off the past with the long sword in their hands, and create a new future. Mo Zhai vowed to spend the rest of his life realizing the path of universal love and non-attack.

As a wealthy businessman who was active in the second half of the 19th century, Hu Xueyan's life experience is also a microcosm of an era. He relied on Wang Youling in the first half of his life, and assisted Zuo Zongtang in the second half of his life. He opened a bank, ran a medicine hall, raised food and grass, helped disaster victims, borrowed foreign money, and scattered family wealth. His life was full of ups and downs and overcoming obstacles. With one hand, he was able to navigate the officialdom and political circles, and with the other hand, he had extensive connections with the gentry and celebrities, from a waiter to a famous Huizhou businessman. Behind this great success were his keen sense of smell, extraordinary courage, and tenacious character. He and Zuo Zongtang became confidants in times of need, assisting Zuo Zongtang in establishing the route of Westernization to save the country, hiring Western craftsmen, attracting foreign investment and equipment, and developing new shipping management. During Zuo Zongtang's Western Expedition in his later years, he raised huge amounts of silver to cover the logistics expenses of the army, and made immortal contributions to the success of the Western Expedition. With the tide of history and opportunities, a commercial empire with banks, silk shops, grain merchants, and medicine halls as its core was established step by step. In the end, he was awarded the second-pin red dome for his achievements in the Western Expedition, which made him famous all over the world and will be remembered by future generations. Looking at the history of China, no merchants can compare. But in his later years, unexpected changes occurred due to the dispute over the Chinese and foreign silk trade, and he was persecuted by treacherous bureaucrats. Eventually, he ended up with all his wealth, fame and fame, and a miserable death. Standing at the end of the historical tunnel and looking back, Hu Xueyan's life experience is the epitome of the rise and fall of merchant houses under the turbulent tide of the times, and has written an important chapter in the history of modern China.
