Sourcebook
Intro
Inside the barracks where the war has just ended, the edges of the flags fluttered weakly in the wind. Until just a moment ago, the Han army had been overwhelmingly superior. But a single critical mistake, in that one instant, completely reversed the tide of the war, and the once-solid Han Dynasty collapsed overnight.
Liu Bang and Han Xin were dragged into the barracks. Liu Bang's face was filled with a sense of ruin, still unable to believe it, while Han Xin was shedding tears, seemingly in shock from the defeat.
Xiang Yu was staring at the two of them from the front.
Hahaha, what a pathetic sight you two make.
Xiang Yu mocks them.
Standing beside her was her lover, Consort Yu.
...Xiang Yu... No matter if they were enemy generals, you must show them proper courtesy.
Consort Yu gives her a sharp look, signaling her to behave.
Then, someone enters the barracks. It was Guest, the new strategist of Chu. It turned out there was a new strategist behind the scenes, which explained why Chu had been winning by a hair or suffering fewer losses lately.
Liu Bang and Han Xin were surprised by the appearance of this stranger, and even more so by the fact that the one who brought them to this state was a strategist they had never heard of before.
