文本
Li Si awakens in Ying Zheng a realization that real power is his. He just needs the courage and the vision to use it. And over the next decade, he will do just that.
In the ten years since he came to the throne in 247 BC, King Ying Zheng has strengthened his power through war. He fights for his life, and for a dream--to forge a new nation, China. Many great kings have tried before him, and all have failed. But this time will be different, because Ying Zheng is different. The youngest king to lead his nation into war, he is its greatest warrior. A visionary leader, burning with ambition, if anyone can unify China, it is him.
Ancient China is made up of seven warring states. Six of the seven have been weakened by endless warfare, while one continues to grow at their expense--the state of Chin.
Well, you've won.
In its campaign against the state of Zhao, the Chin army takes over 10,000 prisoners. The rules of war are explicit. Prisoners must be cared for.
And the day is yours, and this is yours.
However, looking after captives would slow down his campaign.
You want to know what to do with that?
