He faces the forces of Xia head-on time and again, foils Helian Bobo’s plans to invade, holds fast to the Three Fu, and fully pacifies the turmoil in Guanzhong, rewriting the inevitable tragedy of his homeland’s fall.
With the western frontier of Guanzhong as his base, he enters the political arena of Jiankang, keeping a firm grip on the larger picture amid the upheaval of the transition from Jin to Song. As storms rise in Guanzhong, he establishes his rule over the lands south of the Yangtze.
