A modern military buff from Guangdong, Su Sheng, has his soul transported to the Warring States period and takes over the body of Zhao Kuo, the man famed for “fighting wars on paper.” He arrives just as the Battle of Changping reaches a crisis point. Entrusted with command by the King of Zhao and handed the reins by Lian Po, he bears the fate of four hundred thousand Zhao troops on his shoulders. Facing the Qin army’s wolfish forces and Bai Qi’s devious stratagems, he abandons empty talk and uses modern military doctrine and tactics to turn around the supply crisis and break the deadlock in their defenses. In camp, his two concubines, Lingxi and Yueyao, lead a troupe of performers, wielding music as a weapon and intelligence as a thread to provide hidden support. On the front lines, three generals, including Zhao Yan, lead cavalry charges and build a line of defense with their own flesh and blood. From battlefield slaughter to political maneuvering at court, and from burying Qin generals alive to shaking the realm (in reality, he secretly transfers the prisoners back to Zhao for forced labor, while claiming they were buried alive)...
