In the winter of 263, the Shu Han regime is teetering on the brink of collapse. Deng Ai leads a surprise force across Yinping and reaches the gates of Chengdu. Persuaded by Qiao Zhou and others, the young emperor Liu Shan intends to surrender. At the front lines in Jiange, the Grand General Jiang Wei is holding off Zhong Hui's hundred thousand troops alone. When he hears the devastating news, he is overcome with grief, and the army's morale is on the verge of collapse. As the state faces ruin, Chen Mo, a history student from the future, unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of an obscure military clerk in Jiang Wei's camp. Drawing on his deep understanding of this period and an analytical perspective beyond his time, Chen Mo steps forward amid the despair, lays out the perilous situation for Jiang Wei, and argues that Shu Han still has a chance. He presents a series of ingenious strategies: stop the surrender, secure Jiange, and bring in reinforcements. With extraordinary courage and wisdom, he helps Jiang Wei launch a desperate counterattack against the clock. With Jiang Wei's trust, Chen Mo applies his knowledge to improve weapons, holds Zhong Hui at bay in Jiange, breaks through the natural defenses at Luogu, and ultimately reaches the walls of Chang'an. He must not only plan and strategize against Wei's formidable generals and intricate political schemes, but also confront the brutality of war and come to understand, through blood and fire, the heavy cost of restoration and the greater good of defending one's homeland. Set against a rigorously researched historical backdrop, this novel focuses on a group of heroes in Shu Han's final years who refuse to sink into oblivion and dare to act even when they know success is unlikely. It tells the story of a modern soul seeking his place in a turbulent age, fighting alongside Jiang Wei and other loyal servants of Shu Han, and doing everything in his power to protect his convictions and the Han banner amid history's raging tides, composing a stirring elegy for a dying age. This is a story of loyalty, courage, wisdom, and holding on to hope in the face of utter despair.
What the hell is this? A character dies and doesn't even know that he is resurrected inexplicably later?
The writing is impassioned and high-spirited, but it's just a little confusing. Huang Hao had already appeared in the Battle of Chengdu, but he actually came out again.
