In the mid-7th century, the Chinese Tang Emperor, Taizong (Park Sung Woong) saw the conflict between the three warring states of the Korean peninsula as an opportunity to invade the unsettled land.

When a coup led by the warlord, Yeon (Yoo Oh Sung), lead to the assassination of Goguryeo’s king, Taizong saw his chance and took it with a raging fury.&nbsp;

Sweeping across the unsettled lands of Goguryeo, Taizong met with little resistance until he came to the fortified city of Ansi.
