Xiang Ming, a researcher in the Department of Modern History, transformed his soul into the overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu, in 205 BC. At this time, Han Xin had just conquered Zhao, Liu Bang was plotting to raid Pengcheng, and the tragedy that Xiang Bo collaborated with the enemy and Fan Zeng was about to be squeezed out had already laid the groundwork in the dark places of history. He retains Xiang Yu's overlord's bravery of "being able to carry the cauldron", and also carries a modern historical understanding that understands the overall situation: he knows the flaws of Han Xin's "backwater formation", knows Liu Bang's "powerful co-optation" tactics, and is more aware of Xiang Bo's irrefutable evidence of collaborating with the enemy and the strategic value of Fan Zeng.
In order to rewrite the ending of Gaixia being besieged and Wujiang committing suicide, he established three iron rules: using the "Yafu Order" to give Fan Zeng the power to take charge of military affairs and regard it as the sole strategic core. Rumors spread among the army, all of which were regarded as Han army rebellion; he set up "Hongmen Banquet 2.0" In front of the Chu camp. In front of the generals, he used the intercepted secret letters and the testimonies of his personal guards to confirm Xiang Bo's crime of collaborating with the enemy, and beheaded him with his own hands to frighten the traitors and stabilize the morale of the army. Using Chu as an anchor, he disintegrated Liu Bang's alliance of princes, attracted Yingbu and Peng Yue, cut off Han Xin's grain route, and broke the deadlock of "encirclement by princes".
From then on, there was no more "half-trust and half-doubt" suspicion between the emperor and his ministers in the Chu camp. There was only a tacit strategic understanding of "Fan Zeng decided the strategy and Xiang Yu charged". At Jingxingkou, he used modern terrain deduction to decipher Han Xin's backwater formation; before Pengcheng, he used cavalry raids and psychological warfare to severely damage Liu Bang's 500,000-strong coalition; beside the Weishui River, he instead used the strategy of "attacking halfway across the river", giving the Bingxian his first taste of defeat.
This is a contest that combines ancient military tactics with modern military thinking. It is also a struggle that interweaves Xiang Yu's original personality arrogance and modern rational cognition. From pacifying the Chu camp factions to integrating the forces of the princes
