Xing Sui Zhi

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the flames of war burned out the prosperity of the emperor, and the tyranny of Emperor Yang led to the collapse of the world - Dou Jiande in Hebei was watching with eager eyes, Li Yuan in Chang'an had hidden dissent, Xiao Xian in the south of the Yangtze River was separatist, and the Turks in the north repeatedly invaded the border, and thousands of people were reduced to duckweeds in the troubled times. At the time of crisis, Yang Xuan, a branch of the Sui Dynasty, stepped forward. With the ambition of "saving the people from water and fire", he gathered talented generals such as Xu Maogong, Hong Funu, and Yuchi Nan to raise troops in Luoyang. With his extraordinary strategy, he first defeated Dou Jiande's betrayal of the alliance, then quelled the Xiaoxian rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, went north to defeat the Turkic cavalry, marched west to conquer Li Yuan of Chang'an, marched east to quell the civil strife in Goryeo, and even crossed the sea to conquer the treacherous Japan. Finally, he restored the Sui Dynasty and unified the world. The novel unfolds a thousand-section epic in the style of Sui and Tang romances. It not only describes the fierce battle at Zhangshui River and the great victory of Baidaochuan, but also describes the warmth of people's livelihood through light corvee and poor taxation, promotion of female education, and repair of water conservancy. From the difficult entrepreneurship of raising an army in troubled times to the strategy of calming the people to govern the country in prosperous times, Yang Xuan, with the original intention of "people as the foundation of the country", reestablished order amidst the iron-blooded disputes, allowed the Sui flag to rise over thousands of territories, and also left behind a legendary epic about heroes, people's hearts and prosperous times.
