The Mighty Horse of Liangzhou

Those who are not of our people will surely have different intentions. In this age, which countless so-called experts hail as a “great blending of peoples,” there is the poetic elegance of Jiangnan and the peerless heroes of the north, yet none of it can conceal the heaps of bones beneath. What might a young boy and a soul that narrowly escaped death bring to this turbulent age? Water your horses in the Yellow River and point your swords toward Chang'an: this age demands blood and steel. Childhood sweethearts inspire tender affection, while the longings of countless women go unspoken. There is Murong Ke, peerless in grace; Fu Jian, the ambitious emperor; and Huan Wen, destined neither to be remembered for virtue nor infamous for evil. Countless heroes and men of valor await. Watch as I trample the heroes of both north and south beneath my feet and bring peace to the realm!
