Keeping the Heart: a Journey to the Han Dynasty

Li Wanqing, a graduate student at Cangcheng Military Academy, accidentally obtained a fragment of a military book from the Western Han Dynasty and accidentally traveled to the war-torn era of the frontier fortress while pursuing the truth. When she woke up, she was wearing a modern down jacket and holding the "Way of Synergy" in her hand. She was mistaken for a foreign spy and was nearly punished by military law. With the herbal notes and the appraisal notes of Wang, the royal physician, she carried with her, she was able to temporarily gain a glimmer of hope in the camp. In order to win the trust of the military, she introduced the concept of modern football "passing and running" into frontier army training and used Cuju games to inspire teamwork among the soldiers, but she encountered ridicule and failure. She was not afraid of ridicule and painstakingly explained the principle of "the stadium is like a battlefield and the team is like a military formation", gradually breaking down the barriers between soldiers and igniting the fire of collective honor and trust. In the tense atmosphere of constant border wars, Li Wanqing used medical skills to treat wounded soldiers and resolve the misunderstandings and prejudices of the soldiers. The fragment in her hand conceals the secret of the art of war of "using people's hearts as an array and unity as a soldier", which prompted the border army to gradually transform from fighting alone to fighting in a coordinated manner. At night, she studied hard in her tent, combining "simulated enemy formations" and "tactics of war drills" with Cuju to plan small-score confrontations and reward mechanisms to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers. She knew very well that in order to change this tired frontier army, she must use the method of "keeping the heart" to reshape their desire for honor and teamwork. As the training results begin to show, the mutual trust and sense of honor among the border soldiers are growing day by day. In the flames of war and sand, Li Wanqing gradually grew into a key wise man who led the frontier army to revive. Can she use the fusion of modern "team consciousness" and ancient military tactics to reverse the situation in the border war? This is a legendary journey across time and space, telling how faith and collaboration can achieve rebirth in desperate situations.
