Story:
In the late Sui Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, a Cavalry Commandant, was deeply dissatisfied with the Sui court's actions. He resolutely abandoned his official post to join Prince Li Shimin, who had raised the banner of revolt.
Li Shimin had long heard of Fang Xuanling, and upon their first meeting, the two became immediate friends, feeling as if they had known each other for ages and regretting not meeting sooner.
Fang Xuanling followed Li Shimin through countless challenges and dangers, facing death multiple times, tirelessly recruiting talented individuals for him.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he became the Grand Councilor.
