Chen Laogen, a former elite of the Xuanjia Guard, lived in seclusion in Qinghe Village. Because the government colluded with mountain bandits to massacre the village, his wife was tragically killed. Forced to take his daughter and seek revenge, he became separated from his two sons. He disfigured his face and assumed the pseudonym Chen Qingcang to infiltrate the Military Commissioner's shogunate, advancing step by step with wisdom and strategy, rescuing his two sons and building up his forces. After turning the tables at the Hongmen Banquet to seize power, he opened the granaries to comfort the people and reorganized Linzhou. The Northern Di used a beauty trap to disrupt domestic politics, but Chen Laogen turned the tables on them by setting an ambush to wipe out the vanguard, prompting various feudal princes to show favor. However, twelve hundred thousand main forces of the Northern Di pressed on the borders, with all sides harboring evil intentions in a chaotic world's chess game, far from being over.
