A Fierce Soldier at the End of the Sui: One Saber Holds Back the Tang

In the eighth year of the Daye era, heroes rise up, warlords carve up the realm, and the Great Sui Dynasty teeters on the brink of collapse.

In Licheng, Qijun, the soldier Yuwen Zhao, who grew up eating meals provided by the townspeople, transmigrates as the third son born to a concubine. First, his stepmother poisons him. Then he is framed for theft and driven out of the main residence, left to depend on his simple-minded mother.

His aunt comes up with another deadly scheme and gets his mother killed. From then on, Yuwen Zhao vows to avenge her. Using one enemy to destroy another, he slaughters all eighty-three members of the Yuwen family and enlists in the Yingyang Prefecture army.

Amid the chaos of war, he improves weapons, stores grain, and builds up his troops, step by step becoming the most powerful rebel.

He beheads Dou Jiande, stabs Wang Shichong, surrounds Li Yuan, and captures Li Mi alive...

After crossing every mountain pass, Qin Prince Li Er grips a horse lance in one hand and rests a saber at his waist:

"Yuwen Zhao! Dare to face me in single combat?"
