A war history teacher at a modern military academy accidentally traveled to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. When he woke up, he was on the eve of the massacre of more than 200,000 Qin soldiers in Xin'an. Knowing clearly the outcome of the Hongmen Banquet, the Chu-Han Struggle, and Wujiang's suicide, he decided to start by stopping this massacre and rewrite his own destiny and that of the world.
However, rescuing people is only the first step. Food and grass were running out, Qin and Chu had grievances, clan constraints, and princes were waiting for them. Liu Bang had already entered the pass first. Facing internal and external troubles, Xiang Yu relied on his overlord's courage and modern military management ideas to reorganize the Chu army, reestablish military law, select talents, and win over the world's talents such as Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, etc. In the conflict between ideal and reality.
In this life, he not only wants to defeat Liu Bang, but also defeat the stubborn and violent old Xiang Yu, and embark on an unprecedented path to overlordship.
Stopping the killing is only the first step. Where does food come from? How to manage soldiers? Which one is more important, the kindness of the old generals or the newly established military law? With two thousand years of military thought and organizational experience, he wants to pry open the real wall behind "Princes, generals, ministers, and ministers are all kindred" bit by bit in the age of bronze and bamboo slips - the wall that makes the common people always just pawns.
The same wooden spoon divides grain, the same wooden board enforces law, and the same military order does not matter whether the surname is Xiang or Qin. What he wants is not just to defeat Liu Bang and avoid Wujiang, he wants to defeat the original Xiang Yu - the overlord who shocked the world with his bravery but lost the hearts of the people.
But every step of reform has to pay a bloody price. Kill old friends, lose old tribes, separate clans, and look down upon the princes.
Can the road leading to Wujiang really be deviated?
