   Is 2500 hours of reading time enough? Since I started reading novels, I've kept a few books that are worth reading. Don't believe me? Look at my reading time! The later parts of Chen Shu's novels are so good, it feels like forced, awkward laughter. As for the first book, although it has some flaws, I still managed to read it twice. The second book, which I followed to the end, is good in the early stages after the protagonist regains his memories, but then it gets boring. The plot is very complex before the protagonist regains his memories, and the summoned strategists and generals are very powerful and loyal to their host. The beginning is very good. As for the later parts, you'll have to experience it for yourself. The third book isn't bad, it's still readable, and I recommend checking it out. The fourth book is by Chen Shu, which I believe everyone has read. I mentioned it in the first paragraph, so I won't say more.

    This book features numerous major battles with rich battlefield details, but it doesn't begin with a series of overwhelming victories. A significant portion of the early chapters dedicates to reorganizing the army and managing internal affairs, laying the groundwork for later major battles. Battles will unfold gradually, but not in rapid succession. Those who dislike lengthy military and political exposition and only want a straightforward, overwhelming victory should proceed with caution; however, if you can accept the build-up and enjoy hardcore warfare combined with military and political maneuvering, this book will be perfect for you.

    The letter reads: Your Highness, it is as if we are meeting in person. More than twenty years ago, the world was in chaos, and heroes rose up everywhere. Your Highness, together with Prince Qin, successively destroyed the Southern Barbarians, pacified the Western Xia, repelled the Eastern Liao, and resisted the Northern Mongols, thus gaining the Qin region. Although the Qin region is vast and sparsely populated, with many warriors but few scholars, it was hard-won, and I hope Your Highness will cherish it. Since the world was pacified, lands have been divided and kings have been enfeoffed. Qi, Wu, and Chu are all rich lands, and the kings of these regions are also members of the royal family. Your Highness should handle them carefully. The kings of Jin and Nanyue, although also members of the royal family, are distant from the royal family, and they can be of assistance. Yan is cold and harsh, and Shu is barren, but the kings of these regions, like Your Highness, are of different surnames. The royal family eliminates dissidents, and Qin, Yan, and Shu should help each other. In my humble opinion, although the world is at peace now, what is divided will eventually unite, and what is united will eventually divide. There will be great chaos within ten years. The Qin region is exhausted, and Your Highness should plan for its future as soon as possible. His Highness Prince Qin's five adopted sons are all capable. If the world falls into chaos, all five can serve as advisors. Li Ren is both scholarly and martial, possessing strategic acumen; he is a true military leader, hence His Highness has assigned him to the Northern Pass for training. Li Yi and Li Li both possess unparalleled bravery, upright character, and military knowledge; they can serve as vanguard generals. The fourth son, Li Zhi, is brilliant and resourceful, having fully inherited his master's teachings; he can assist His Highness in devising strategies. However, Zhi's experience is still limited, and he cannot be fully trusted, lest he become a mere armchair strategist. The fifth son, Li Xin, is cunning and adept at acquiring wealth; therefore, His Highness has entrusted him with business in Jiangnan to supply the military and ensure logistical support. To safeguard His Highness's safety and the peace of the Prince's residence, His Highness has trained twelve elite warriors over ten years, each named after one of the twelve earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. The twelve loyal warriors are all utterly devoted; Your Highness need not worry. These twelve warriors may be hidden in the wilderness, the marketplace, the army, or the royal palace; there is no need to search for them deliberately. A general's duty is to be calm and discreet, and to govern with righteousness. Governing a large army is like governing a small one—this is about division of labor; fighting a large army is like fighting a small one—this is about strategy and tactics. A skilled strategist can prevent the enemy from supporting each other, from relying on one another, from helping each other, from uniting their ranks, from scattering their soldiers, and from forming ranks. Act only when it is advantageous, and stop when it is not. Time flies, and Your Highness is nearing fifty and suffers from chronic illness. Your Highness should gain experience early, broaden your understanding, and recruit talented individuals for the Qin kingdom, so as to be prepared for any eventuality. I have written thirteen chapters on military strategy and twenty-four plans, all placed behind a blank memorial tablet. Your Highness should persevere in reading them; they will surely be of benefit.

    The first book on ancient warlord rebellions has already reached 5 million words, and its plot has captivated me. It tells the story of Zhang Yunchuan, who transmigrates to another world and suffers oppression from the upper echelons. He leads his brothers in a rebellion, becoming bandits in the mountains, attacking county towns, and routing the government troops. Later, he is surrounded by a large army and separated from his brothers. He is conscripted into the government army and uses his intelligence to rise through the ranks. After a series of developments, he now dominates a region. Brothers, come and enjoy it! 😳😳😳😳😳😳 Other books are also quite good, all about ancient rebellions or rising from a lowly soldier to a general before launching a rebellion. The brutal descriptions of the battlefield are vivid, and the plots are rich. I found myself reading them without even realizing it, staying up day after day. I was sleeping through class every day.
