The Lone Peak at the End of the Han Dynasty

Alone atop a solitary peak, he surveys countless mountains; a wild crane amid idle clouds, untouched by the bitter cold. The protagonist, Wang Geng, is thrown into the sea to feed the sharks after breaking the rules in an underground boxing match. He encounters a mirage of an ancient battlefield and transmigrates into the body of Tian Jun, son of the famous late Han general Tian Yan. It is 177 AD, just after Tian Yan’s disastrous defeat in a grassland war against Tan Shihuai. Tian Jun leads two thousand trusted guards in a rearguard action, trapped in a hopeless situation. After surviving against all odds, he earns merit and works hard to secure the post of Governor of Liaodong. He opens up the vast northeastern plains, takes in and purchases refugees, safeguards the strength of the people, and defeats the Xianbei, Goguryeo, Buyeo, Jinhan, and Mahan. He establishes a foothold and quietly builds his power. When chaos engulfs the realm, he will march south and contend for the empire.
