The film tells the story of the late Yuan Dynasty, when many warlords rose up and established their own factions. Hua Yunlong, a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, feigned surrender to Chen Youliang, leading to a fierce battle with veteran minister Zhang Dingbian, who was dismissed from his post. Later, Chen Youliang nearly died, but was rescued by Zhang Dingbian at the mouth of Jiujiang, a story of a loyal hero.
