After transmigrating to the end of the Qin dynasty, Ying Zhao stared at Xiang Yu, who was ready to burn his bridges, and Liu Bang, with his hooligan ways, and fell into deep thought.
The wheels of history rolled relentlessly forward. The Battle of Julu, the Feast at Hongmen, the siege at Gaixia... Not one of these great historical events would be missing, and no one could change them.
If he could not change the course of history, he would make use of it!
While others fought for supremacy, he scooped up the spoils. While others fought decisive battles, he focused on developing his lands.
While Xiang Yu fought desperately at Julu, Ying Zhao quietly intercepted Zhang Han’s two hundred thousand surrendered troops on the southern front;
While Liu Bang took the secret route from Hanzhong to Chencang, Ying Zhao had already seized Bashu’s granaries;
While Chu and Han faced off at Xingyang, Ying Zhao’s “third state” had already begun to take shape.
When Chu and Han had exhausted each other, the world was horrified to discover that in a corner history had forgotten, a colossal power called the “Third State” had already emerged.
This is a story about “surviving between the cracks” and ultimately “reaping the benefits as a third party.”
When the dust of history settles, who will be the true winner?
