As Genghis Khan abandoned the traditional Mongolian system of "younger sons guarding the stove", Tolei and his descendants were excluded from being the successors to the throne. But Tuo Lei had the merit to become a king. In the end, he was poisoned by King Khan because of his superior achievements. Tuolei's descendants grew and grew stronger under the watchful eye of King Khan, and gradually approached the throne of Khan... The story of the second volume begins with Meng Ge's succession to the throne. Meng Ge's suspicion and Kublai Khan's bravery and prowess in fighting once made the relationship between the two brothers tense. However, Kublai Khan's forbearance and retreat and Meng Ge's sudden death brought history to a new era - the era of Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan's victory in the battle for the throne gave him the capital to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty and establish the Yuan Dynasty.

These people were all dignified prime ministers in their own times, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. However, they ended up in the same destination by different routes and were inevitably killed. They all died abnormally, and their bloody deaths have become the most solid footnotes in history.

He was the king of the country, born in the royal family, but was forgotten. He separated his siblings, seduced his elder brother, and stepped up to the throne, but lost his true love. He loves him deeply. He even gave up his position as prince and was thrown into the cold palace, just to ask for his last look. What I hate the most is to be born into an emperor's family. Throughout the ages, emperors have been unfortunate. This manuscript tells the story of another kind of victim in history - the Machiavellians. They may be emperors or generals. They have overwhelming power and regard human life as trivial. However, without exception, they did not get a good death.

It analyzes all aspects of Hong Xiuquan, the revolutionary leader of the Taiping Rebellion, from historical details: How high is Hong Xiuquan's cultural level? What "revolutionary deeds" did he have before the Jintian Uprising? How did his "revolutionary ambition" come about, and what changes have there been? Why did Hong Xiuquan become a super "otaku"? There was a naughty court in the late Kingdom of Heaven. Could it be that Hong Xiuquan was a "pedophile"? Did Hong Xiuquan "ghostwrite"? ... The author tells the story eloquently and presents readers with a rich image of the Heavenly King, which is very different from the common descriptions in textbooks, making people think deeply about the Taiping Rebellion.

Tells the history from 238 AD to 280 AD. Cao Shuang and Sima Yi fought secretly for ten years, and all the great families returned to Sima. In the end, Sima Yi used a coup to seize power, and the three horses deposed "Cao", which finally became a reality. Sima father and son hold great power, and Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone on the road. Jiang Wei made nine expeditions to the Central Plains, but Liu Adou, who was happy and reluctant to think about Shu, was ineffective. The Shu Han Dynasty was the first to fall. Then the Sima family usurped Cao Wei, leaving Sun Wu to support him. Sima Yi's grandson Sima Yan proclaimed himself emperor and established the Western Jin Dynasty. The Jin army defeated Wu in six routes, ending a century of disputes and unifying China.

It tells the history of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao from allies to enemies, from fighting side by side to the decisive battle in the Central Plains in the ten years from 197 AD to 207 AD. Cao Cao went from weak to strong, and Yuan Shao went from strong to weak. After Cao Cao and Yuan Shao annexed their opponents in turn, they confronted each other with the Yellow River as the boundary. However, there can only be one master in the Central Plains, and the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was inevitable. Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu.

Liu Bei, who was forced to join forces with Sun Quan, formed a Sun-Liu coalition to fight against Cao Cao. The two sides fought a battle in Chibi, and the coalition forces of Sun and Liu defeated Cao Cao with fire attacks. After that, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, in order to compete for Jingzhou, conspired, plotted, and calculated, and finally divided Jingzhou into three parts. Cao Cao returned to the north and established his country as king. His two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, fought openly and secretly for the throne. In the end, the literary young man Cao Zhi was no match for the sinister Cao Pi, and Cao Pi came to power. Liu Bei rose rapidly after the Battle of Chibi, first taking Yizhou and then Hanzhong. Sun Quan was jealous, and in order to seize Jingzhou, he did not hesitate to fall out with Liu Bei, attack Guan Yu, and occupy Jiangling. Then, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei founded the country, and Sun Quan became king. Cao, Liu and Sun divided the world into three parts and stood together.

The more chaos there is, the more chaos there is. After the Western Jin Dynasty, although a new three-legged alliance appeared, there was only one political power in the north. However, with the collapse of Hou Zhao, the Central Plains once again fell into chaos, which also gave birth to the formation of a new round of three-pole structure. The era of the Xiongnu Jiehu has passed, and the Xianbei and Diqiang began to dominate the northern continent. The Eastern Jin Dynasty was still the same Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the Chenghan Dynasty was destroyed by the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the south was unified. After the chaos in the north, there was a strong dialogue between the former Qin and the former Yan, and a new round of the Three Kingdoms appeared in China. The three-legged struggle between Jin, Qin and Yan was more intense than before. This is a new era of tyranny and benevolence. What kind of power can control the broken land of China? The cruel and unkind Shi Hu usurped the throne, and after a series of perverse actions, he finally ushered in the final judgment... Huan Wen, who had the world in his mind, was wandering all his life, and even at the last moment of his life, he was chasing an unattainable dream... "Weeping in the new pavilion, don't look like a prisoner of Chu. Sighing in China, why is Lu Chen?" If you plan to fight, can you tell me whose home and country this is? In the northern war, the former Qin had the last laugh, devouring the former Yan and unifying the north. The Three Kingdoms came to an end temporarily, and the confrontation between the north and the south began to become tense. A new unification trend is brewing again...

Later, Liu Bei entrusted his son and the country to Zhuge Liang in Baidi City. Zhuge Liang took orders at the critical moment to stabilize the overall situation. Then he conquered the south to quell the rebellion and went north to the Central Plains. Zhuge Liang joined forces with Soochow in order to make an all-out Northern Expedition.
