It was an age of endless wars and rising heroes. Liangzhou broke apart into pieces, battles raged on without end, and then Huan Xuan suddenly appeared, dreaming of becoming emperor, throwing everyone into a scramble for power.Liangzhou, once a rich and bustling land, became a battleground for all kinds of forces. It was split apart like sand slipping through fingers, too weak to stand up to outside threats. When Huan Xuan showed up with his big dream of becoming emperor, the chaos only got worse. His ambition made everyone fight harder for control, and the wars just kept coming.In this mess, a new wave of young leaders like Tuoba Tao jumped into the battlefield.
