Chu and Han: The Sage Strategist Is Here, Liu Bang Wins by Doing Nothing!

Li Xuan, a history PhD from a top-tier university, transmigrated to the end of the Qin dynasty and became “Li San,” a Confucian scholar about to be buried alive at the foot of Mount Li. From the start, it was hell, but luckily, the [Historical Trajectory Simulation System] awakened, allowing him to grasp the currents of history and predict whether his plans would succeed.

With the executioners closing in, Li Xuan used his knowledge from a more advanced era and the System’s assistance to escape certain death. He knew the Qin dynasty was doomed and the realm would soon descend into chaos. At this point, Liu Bang was no more than a minor village official in Pei County, struggling to make ends meet. Li Xuan boldly told him, “Old Liu, come work with me. I’ll make sure you become emperor!”

With astonishing predictions and meticulous planning, Li Xuan helped Liu Bang seize Pei County through cunning. His words became the guiding principle of Liu Bang’s group. From then on, a mysterious “prophet” strategist emerged in the long river of history.

He crossed wits with Zhao Gao and devised strategies, helping Liu Bang gather talented figures such as Xiao He, Fan Kuai, and Han Xin.

Before the Battle of Dingtao, he pleaded with Xiang Liang in vain, then kept out of it and preserved Liu Bang’s forces.

At the Feast at Hong Gate, he masterminded Liu Bang’s escape from danger and faced off against Fan Zeng from afar.

During the Chu-Han Contention, he directed the campaign from behind the scenes. He took part in brilliant stratagems such as burning the plank road, secretly advancing through Chencang, the plan at Xia Yi, and the ambush from ten sides, making these historical events even more thrilling. He wanted not only to help Liu Bang overthrow the tyrannical Qin and defeat Xiang Yu, but also to change the tragic fates of the meritorious ministers and famous generals, laying the foundations of an empire that would last for generations and ushering in the beginnings of a golden age.
