He transmigrates as the heir of the weakest state among the eight hundred vassal states of Great Qian, the State of Wu. From the start, he's caught in a deadly family struggle at the funeral hall: his uncle has defected, and an enemy state is at the gates.
Wu Ming grips the saber in his hand. If this world devours the weak, then he'll carve out a way forward with iron and blood.
He scraps the cumbersome chariots and builds a cavalry force ahead of its time, with "Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain" as its spirit:
Swift as the wind, silent as the forest.
Invading like fire, still as the mountain.
Unseen as the shadows, swift as thunder.
He institutes a system of military merit and crushes the old aristocracy.
When the ruler of the State of Zhu takes his main force away to attend an alliance meeting, believing he can trample the State of Wu at will, a fierce army bearing the "Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain" banner has already broken through his borders in secret.
I'll use this cavalry to bring the other states to heel and forge an empire in this chaotic age.
