Northern Liang's Iron Cavalry

Xiao Chen, who was demoted as a deposed prince, was exiled to the bitter cold land of Beiliang. What awaited him was not salvation, but famine, border troubles and the murderous intentions of the court. He was unarmed and didn't have a grain of food, but he used blood as ink and ice as armor to leverage the world's chess game in a desperate situation. Taming fierce horses, making new plows, gathering refugees, and fighting corrupt officials, he held the livelihood of the people with one hand and slashed at the throats of the enemy invaders with the other. From the beacon fire on the city wall to the hidden arrows in the court, from the northern desert to the center of the empire, this is a counterattack road paved with strategy and forged with iron and blood. Everyone in the world regards him as a chess piece, but he wants to break the chess game - when the dragon raises its head, and the mountains and rivers prove it, who is in charge of the ups and downs?
