The First Strategist

A military strategist is someone who devises plans and schemes. When seated, he is a “lord’s advisor”; in wartime, a “military strategist.” In the late Han Dynasty, people like Xun You and Zhuge Liang served as military strategists. Follow a modern high school student reborn in the late Han as he struggles to outmaneuver the schemers of the era, armed with nearly 2,000 years of knowledge and an understanding of the people around him. As a military strategist, I must understand the patterns of history, recognize the forces that determine victory and defeat, know what the people want, and master both civil and military affairs. Um, Diao Chan, could I maybe skip kneeling on the washboard tonight?
