Description
Ming Dynasty veteran general Tian Guozhu is fair and honest while military chief Bi Weide colludes with the enemy for personal gain. Bi’s daughter Lanying has grown up with Tian’s three children, and is especially close to Zhiliang. When the northern invaders breach the frontier, Zhiliang and elder brother Zhigang lead the army in the expedition as chief commanders. Due to Bi’s collusion with the enemy, Zhigang suffers setbacks in the battle. Incited by Bi, Zhigang decides to sign an armistice with the enemy. Zhiliang tries to thwart this move at all costs, and in the confusion Bi stabs Zhigang and pushes him down a cliff. When Zhiliang learns of Bi’s treason, he kills Bi in his wrath. When Lanying learns that her father is killed, she feels bereft and indignant, but promises to deal with the enemy first before attending to personal matters. After winning the battle, Lanying is about to take revenge and kill Zhiliang. Finally, Lanying learns the truth and reconciles with Zhiliang.
