Chu Yun, a keyboard warrior with a degree in literature, finds himself in a chaotic era, inhabiting the body of a cannon-fodder auxiliary soldier about to be sent to the battlefield. When the general asks for advice, Chu Yun recites the beginner tactic “flanking maneuver” from the game Empire’s Conquest to save his own skin. The result? Three thousand men annihilate an enemy force of thirty thousand! From then on, the entire army regards him as the reincarnation of the God of War.

Chu Yun: “We should lure the enemy in and ambush them!” (That’s the script for the Empty Fort Strategy!)

The general, suddenly enlightened: “Brilliant! Mr. Chu wants us to follow in the footsteps of the Marquis of Wu, use himself as bait, show our troops’ confidence in victory, and throw the enemy into disarray!”

Chu Yun: “I really don’t know how to fight. I’m just in charge of logistics!”

The whole army, moved to tears: “Sir is being modest again! He’s reminding us that before the troops move, supplies must go ahead! What vision! That’s what true strategic vision looks like!”
