Thanks for the invite. I’m at Mount Langjuxu, just dismounted.
The Champion Marquis doesn’t want to die.
Huo Qubing was named Champion Marquis at seventeen, reached Mount Langjuxu at twenty-two, and died suddenly at twenty-four.
That’s what the history books say.
But no one ever asked Huo Qubing if he wanted to die.
A modern military-industrial polymath transmigrated into his body and, on his very first day, completed the ultimate KPI of a legendary general.
Then he glanced at the calendar.
Two years until his sudden death.
To stay alive, he decided to shift his focus over the next two years from war to infrastructure.
Build roads, extending them to every frontier commandery in the country.
Build relay stations, creating an ancient information superhighway.
Make money until the imperial treasury had to count it for him.
Train special forces until the emperor couldn’t sleep at night.
But once the roads were finished and he was still alive, the people at court who wanted him dead went mad first.
Turns out, to survive in the Han Dynasty, what you need isn’t military power. It’s a budget.
I didn't read the book, so I looked at the catalog and searched for a few names, including Wei Qing. His subordinates told the protagonist how Wei Qing was doing... He called the protagonist's uncle and the general by their first names, which shows that this book has no common sense.
