In the fourth year of God's blessing, the Khitan cavalry pressed down like black clouds on the territory, and the sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of northern Xinjiang. At the top of the city of Jinyang, the war was raging, and Jin King Li Keyong frowned - there were powerful enemies waiting outside, and there were unscrupulous generals inside.
At this time, a strange army appeared under the city. The young man at the head is only in his early years, but he has a calmness that belies his age. His name is Wang Rui, a concubine of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was supposed to be unknown in the clan wars, but due to a vision from the sky, he was recognized as the master of the Stone of Destiny, and his destiny was reversed.
Starting from thirty servants, he conquered the Black Fengling bandit Zhao Batian, outsmarted the defenders of Yingzui Pass, attacked the Khitan vanguard camp at night, and established the "God's Blessing Army" to shock northern Xinjiang. Along the way north, he not only brought soldiers and horses, but also a rare hope in troubled times.
In the city of Jinyang, he displayed his power through martial arts competitions and won three battles, which impressed the veteran generals in the army. On the battlefield, he set up an ambush at Heifeng Ridge, completely annihilated the Khitan army on the right, and captured the main general Xiao Dilu alive. He used psychological tactics and night attacks to drive back the main force of Yelu Abaoji without spending a single soldier.
But this is just the beginning of troubled times. There are many factions in Jinyang City, including Li Keyong's direct relatives, foreign generals, and local powerful people. All parties are fighting openly and secretly. Although the Khitan army has temporarily retreated, it is like hungry wolves and may come back at any time.
Wang Rui not only had to face the cavalry of foreign enemies, but also had to gain a foothold in the whirlpool of power. On one side is the appreciation and test of King Jin, on the other side is the attraction and expectation of the Crown Prince, and on the other side is the scrutiny and dissatisfaction of the veteran.
This is a historical novel about growth, intrigue, war and loyalty. Here there is the blood of the battlefield, the undercurrent of conspiracy, the struggle of humanity, and the way to persevere in troubled times.
