The Imperial Path of Refugees

In the 372nd year of Dayu, Murong Lie broke the earth and stood on his own, igniting the war of separatism in the Central Plains. In the past five years, a tripartite pattern has taken shape, and nine small princes have been fighting against each other. The once prosperous land has been reduced to scorched earth, with waves of refugees and their lives like grass. Eight-year-old Yan Jun is just a speck of dust in this troubled world. He witnessed his parents tragically died in a military disaster on the banks of the Huai River. He has been wandering alone since then, struggling to survive amid hunger and military disasters. He was recruited by the Weizhou Army at the age of twelve and started out as an auxiliary soldier who was bullied by others. He distinguished himself on the battlefield with his extraordinary courage and compassion, and gathered people with the same fate. However, because he refused to massacre the city and adhered to his conscience, he was jealous of the general and was forced to defect late at night with his cronies. The remnant troops were trapped in Mengcheng. He established the idea of ​​"stopping the war and calming the people", gathered the hearts of the people with benevolent government, solved the dilemma with wisdom, and worked step by step in the cracks of the princes. After forty years of military service, he consolidated his foundation through marriage, divided the princes, faced off against Murong Lie's iron-blooded cavalry in the Northern Yan Dynasty, accepted Zhou Wenyuan's desire to surrender in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, pacified the nine small princes by recruiting them to surrender, and always adhered to the bottom line of not being bloodthirsty and focusing on people's livelihood. From a refugee to a general, from a separatist force to the unification of the Central Plains, he experienced betrayal and fighting, witnessed suffering and displacement, and never forgot his parents' instructions to "see peace." This is an imperial journey paved with bones and thorns, and it is also a legend of ending troubled times with benevolence and protecting the common people with original intentions. When Longqi returned to Luoyang, he fulfilled his promise throughout his life and restored peace to the Central Plains.
