The Little Official in Jixia: Turning the Waves with One Hand

Su Yi, a sickly copyist in Jixia, used the map of the world and household registration as a chess piece to secretly unite the six countries to fight against the Qin Dynasty. He and Li Si, a classmate who entered the Qin Dynasty, launched a peak conspiracy showdown in the four countries of the Central Plains, where words are the blade and geography is the game. In the middle and late Warring States period, the powerful Qin Dynasty came out from the east and was unstoppable. In Linzijixiaxuegong, Su Yi, a low-level official responsible for organizing maps and household registrations of various countries, seems to be frail and sick and works at his desk all day long, but in fact he is a little-known disciple of Guiguzi's generation. He does not believe in the courage of ordinary people, and firmly believes that "tongue is like a blade, and calculation is like chess." On the eve of the outbreak of the financial and commercial war in Xinzheng, Su Yi took advantage of the great debate among the hundreds of Jixia families to lobby Qi State Prime Minister Mengchang Jun Tian Wen, mobilized Qu Yuan's faction in Chu State, and contacted the princes of Wei State, secretly planning a grand chess game across the Central Plains, intending to use the power of the princes to control Qin outside Hangu Pass. However, the wheel of history of great unification is coming, and his classmate and friend Li Si has moved west to Xianyang and became the chess player behind the scenes of the Qin State. Using the geography of the world as a chessboard and the kings and ministers of various countries as pawns, the two launched a Go-style geopolitical conspiracy that lasted for several years and spanned Qin, Qi, Chu, Wei and Han. In the peak battle of power and intelligence, Su Yi turned over the waves with her broken body and one hand, desperately seeking a glimmer of hope for the people of the Six Nations in troubled times.
