My name is Han Xin. I just conquered the lands of Qi and Lu for Liu Bang, and now I command a hundred thousand battle-hardened soldiers.
I thought I’d be made King of Qi, but that old rogue Liu Ji got beaten to a pulp by Xiang Yu at Xingyang and fled for his life, kicking even his own children out of the carriage!
Jealous of my hundred thousand troops, he sent Guan Ying with thirty thousand heavily armored cavalry to block my city gates and force me to hand over the tally for my army!
And that’s not all. He even pretended to be generous and sent me his favorite consort, Qi Ji, to “warm my bed.”
Warm my bed? She’s an assassin carrying a hairpin coated in a deadly poison!
Hand over my command and I’m dead. If Qi Ji succeeds in killing me, the army outside the city will use it as an excuse to attack and cut me to pieces!
Do they really think I’m the same military genius from history, helpless in everyone else’s hands?
[Ding! The Beauty Acceptance System has activated! Warning: Qi Ji’s hairpin is poisoned!]
I killed the female spy and claimed the grand prize: [Blast Furnace Steelmaking Plans]! The pig iron is so poor it can’t cut through your cold-forged heavy armor? I’ll fire up a blast furnace overnight and forge ten thousand high-carbon-steel Mo Dao swords!
The city gates open the next day. The Mo Dao advance like a wall, cleaving men and horses in half!
Strip the Han generals and hang them from the city walls. Then write Old Liu a letter quitting the alliance: Sorry, Old Liu. I’m rebelling!
Zhang Liang cuts off my supply of pig iron? I’ll start an industrial revolution!
Zhang Liang sends assassins after my benefactor, the old woman Piao? I’ll bring out a repeating crossbow and teach him what crossfire means!
Zhang Liang breaches the Yellow River and floods Qi and Lu? I’ll build a reinforced-concrete dam and turn the floodwater back on the Han army!
(Insanely satisfying, high-IQ battles of wits, with pure cold weapons and steadily advancing technology! Come witness the birth of the greatest empire in history!)
This book is good to read, but the story about the beautiful woman made me feel uncomfortable all over. Why do these people always think that they have to choose between their relatives and the throne? "I am different. I choose the throne, even if I don't live long!" Call me cold-blooded or call me a beast! Just the last step left! Who dares to hold you back and eat his flesh?
It looks good. I can only say it looks good and is interesting.
The writing is smooth, the pace is lively, and the writing is refreshing
The structure is clear, smooth and easy to understand, and it looks great!
It looks good, no typos, very cool
Good, good, good, good, good
It's very interesting, it's so wonderful [sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart]
