**In the early years, the domestic situation was turbulent, warlords were divided, and wars were frequent in the southwest region. In this context, Yang Dujun of Xikang Province rose to prominence and gradually grew in power, and even proclaimed himself the Generalissimo of the Southwest Army and became the emperor of Yifangtu.
However, in this era of warlord warfare, Overseer Yang's power does not come only from force, he also has a unique vision and strategy. The holding of an ace pigeon competition is a reflection of his wisdom and resources.
Xikang Province is mountainous and extremely inconvenient for communication, and Yang Dujun is well aware of this. For this reason, he decided to organize an ace pigeon race in order to collect the best pigeons for correspondence during the war. This move seems to be a game, but in fact it is a hidden mystery.
Behind the ace pigeon race is the clever use of military resources. By rewarding the winners, Yang managed to attract thousands of pigeons, which strengthened his communications network. In the finals, the contest between the fire phoenix and the flower fox eagle became a thrilling showdown, with tragedy and conspiracy behind it.
However, behind this seemingly innocent match, there is an even bigger secret. Hu Ming's revelation makes people see that Yang Dujun is not just an ordinary warlord, and his methods are even more vicious. In the name of military pigeons, he secretly planted opium poppies at the base for personal gain.
Under the brave struggle of Hu Ming and Huo Gezhi, Yang Overseer's conspiracy was finally exposed, and his base was razed to the ground. However, the cost of this victory was dearly, with the sacrifice of many innocent pigeons. They traded their lives for the tranquility of Xikang Province, but their heroic sacrifice is little known, like fireworks in the night sky, beautiful and short-lived.
The whole incident reflects the darkness and helplessness of that era, the brutality of the warlords and the helplessness of the people. However, it is precisely the presence of heroes like Hu Ming and Huo Ge that allows the power of justice to be displayed, and allows that ray of dawn to illuminate the dark corners. In the long river of history, they may be just an insignificant stroke, but their struggle and sacrifice are engraved in the memory of the times and have become an eternal legend.
