Ever since I read *Following the Current: A Military Strategist for the Ages*, I haven't been able to forget it. I love the way the protagonist, Jiang Jiangzhe, plots and schemes his way to control the world. Does anyone know any similar novels? Please, I'm begging you.

💥, The thief is good-looking, 🌈, The original owner of the first book, the sixth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, is just as the edict says: he has no cultivation in civil and military affairs, is cowardly by nature, has no merit in his body except good looks and big size, and is riddled with all kinds of bad habits. The original owner was invited to a banquet at the fifth prince's home and got very drunk. But it is absolutely impossible to say that he blasphemed the royal brother's fiancée Zhen! The original owner was both cowardly and naive, and would never dare to blaspheme Zhen even after drinking. Obviously, this is a game, a game that wants to kill the original owner! As a result, the organizer overestimated the weakling of the original owner... After drinking too much, he just lost it, allowing Zhou Che, who came from time to time, to take over his body.

The first book is not a historical novel, but it meets the requirements: the protagonist is both a military advisor and a leader, and a small man in the slums is trying to build his own world step by step. Another fictional history: The protagonist enters the fictional troubled world where aristocratic families are in power as a white-coated staff member. There is no system or force in the whole process. He only relies on a precise understanding of human nature and a thorough understanding of the rules of the court to break the situation.

The book promotion advertisement for the young troll in my family: For the convenience of understanding, it can be regarded as a cross-border book, which combines hard science fiction, strong strategy, and high point of view. However, the group of protagonists is not normal, and the reason why readers laugh has nothing to do with the author. The logic is rigorous, and the knowledge contained in the 17 subjects is supported by orthodox theories, and is not a generalization under the guise of science. The story is exquisite and interlocking, with a lot of foreshadowing and pitfalls that must be filled in. It is not a scattered plot that is forcibly pieced together to prove one's own point of view. I don't want to rely on this book to turn myself around and change my luck and fate. The questionable title cannot help me get to know more interesting souls! ! ! ! !

The details of the novel are combined with the overall situation. It not only has the ultimate rendering of key scenes (such as the solitude in the study in the prologue, the oath taken by Luoshui, the original autumn wind of Wuzhang, and the regicide of Nanque), but also has a macro grasp of the general trend of the world, the undercurrent of the court, and the military strategy, which demonstrates the author's strong narrative control ability.

These are all things I've seen before and thought they were pretty good. ① I like Mr. Desert's works the most. They are even better than Mr. Jin Yong's works. The psychological description of the characters is delicate. ②Knowing one's fate, one does not know one's own fate, showing mercy everywhere, being ruthless everywhere, passing among thousands of flowers, touching the flowers but not the leaves, but knowing the fate is ruthless despite falling flowers. ③A more realistic and good book that describes how modern martial arts survive in advanced technology and their own traditional environment.

Someone asked Xu Jinhuan what Jianghu is and what is soul-stirring. It's the drizzle that makes wine after dusk, talking about the green, fat, red and thin looking for a clear photo. If God had not given birth to him, the famous sword would have been like the scrap iron sword Thirteen for eternity. He is a Buddhist monk who becomes stronger the more he breaks the precepts. He is a Taoist lover who only pursues girls. It is Qi Xiu who cultivates himself, manages his family, governs the country and brings peace to the world. It was Ling Yunmu who had no choice but to contribute his life. It was Man Jianghong who answered: "Where are you going?" And replied neatly: "The world!" He was a swordsman driving a carriage with a sword box as the carriage. It was Yuan Shouyi who entered and exited seven times among the 70,000-strong army. It is Chaoge Yexuan who is the only Chaoge in the world. You are still ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, entering the art of swordsmanship with poetry, and leaving countless Tang poems, Song lyrics, Chinese poems and Yuan music in the world. Hearing this, Xu Jinhuan's eyes flashed with sadness: If you can write a poem with a pen, you may not be able to describe a world. And when Chinese poetry enters the way of swordsmanship, and then goes to the rivers and lakes with a sword, then this poem can be completed in one go and passed down through the ages. Big shot and little shot are literal forms. Big stories and small stories are the rhyme in it. As for the word "love", it is the eye in the poem. And when all three of them appear in a poem, they become the most important meaning in the poem. There was a heart-stirring moment! [Cool][cool]
