Traveling South in Attire: from Nobleman to Emperor

AD 307, the eve of Yongjia. Chen Zhi, the eldest son of the Chen family in Yingchuan, a famous family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was serving as the Lieutenant General of Yulin at the age of his soul. He was ordered to escort Sima Yue's coffin back south, but was attacked by Shi Le's remnant troops in Ku County. Tens of thousands of troops were instantly defeated! Survival in troubled times, Chen Zhi managed to escape in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with only thirty personal guards left by his side. The road to the north is never smooth! With no way to ask for help, Chen Zhi resolutely led his troops to the north, cleverly captured Liyangcang, recruited refugees, and gained thousands of troops. He outsmarted Hu Jie and surrounded Jinyang City with troops, hoping to prove his strategic value to the Sima family who was still living in the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, both Shi Le and Liu Yuan regarded him as a thorn in their side and frequently sent troops to encircle and suppress him! What is even more thrilling is that the Gonggun princes in the DPRK are more afraid of the Chen family, who has a heavy army and is growing in power, than the Hulu! Is it to seek skin from a tiger, or to fight back in desperate situation? In the fierce offensive and defensive battles in Luoyang, the gateway to the north, Chen Zhi defeated the Hu people's vigor several times and regained several counties north of the Yellow River. However, his troops were stretched thin and he consumed huge amounts of food and grass. Instead of providing help in times of crisis, the Eastern Jin Dynasty made many excuses to delay reinforcements, and even attempted to secretly alienate General Chen Zhi! It was bitterly cold in the north and wars were raging everywhere. Is he going to be alone and let the Central Plains fall? Or is he going to buck the trend and create a prosperous age? Chen Zhi tried to turn the tide and fought with Shi Le, Liu Yuan and even Duan Xianbei several times. Wherever his cavalry went, it was the land of the Han family! When the last fig leaf of the Jin Dynasty was torn apart and half of the south of the Yangtze River was in turmoil, the north under Chen Zhi's rule had already achieved phoenix nirvana! In the end, the south will dominate the country, who can fight for it?
