Why not run away and fight with Qin? What are you thinking? As long as Yan Dan doesn't die, the war won't end. Then the King of Yan will be like Dan. If you keep jumping around like this, you might as well go to see the King of Qin with Yan Dan. Zhang Liang... Putting aside whether he was even in Yan at that time, the main issue is that he probably didn't have the military capability.
I really don't know how to comment on this. There are just too many flaws. Not to mention the protagonist's idiotic writing, the only strategic retreat to Korea was full of twists and turns. In the end, the strategy changed, and they didn't go to Korea anymore. Instead, they went back to retreat from the Qin army. First of all, do you even know the strength of the Qin army?
At this point, there was basically no hope; the only option was to accumulate strength and wait for the First Emperor to die.
How bad was the State of Yan during the Warring States period? Let me give you a few examples. 1. In the late Warring States period, the military rankings were Qin, Zhao, Qi, Chu, Wei, Han, and Yan; the economic rankings were Qin, Qi, Wei, Chu, Zhao, Han, and Yan; and the population rankings were Qin, Wei, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Han, and Yan. Yan was indeed the worst in all categories.
They even wanted to drag the Qin Dynasty down in Liaodong! I'm astonished! Can the Qin Dynasty be compared to the Sui Dynasty? Qin Shi Huang was far more capable than Emperor Yang of Sui.
I just want to see North Korea swallow Japan and accumulate power to rule the world.
At this point in time, the Qin Dynasty's momentum to sweep across the world was already established; if they could make some arrangements and survive until the First Emperor's death, there was still a chance.
The strategy was to first establish a foothold in Liaodong, adopt a feudal system modeled after European practices, then strengthen the regime, conquer the grasslands, and build up power. Small tribes would have a shi (a low-ranking official), medium-sized tribes would have viscounts, large tribes would have barons, and super-large tribes would have earls, with the northern Yan and southern Qin…
The protagonist of this book is a bit of a loser! With a two-thousand-year perspective and various groundbreaking inventions, he keeps making a mess of things. Being young, he should have been observing and speaking less in court, but instead, he not only talked too much but also offended nobles. Later, his mother even gave him a heads-up and Zhang Liang secretly tested him.
Qin's agricultural-military system was equivalent to today's imperial examinations. War was a source of joy, and it was the only path for commoners to rise in society. What were the other six states doing? They were still operating under aristocratic slave systems. Qin's conquest of the six states was beyond the reach of any single individual, unless it were a high-martial arts world where a single strike could unleash a forty-meter-long blade of light—perhaps that could offer some resistance.
