Hello everyone! This is the professional novelist Soo Yumumi who just finished writing the postscript of the second volume, and then immediately came to write the third episode of "The Story Behind the Story"!

Wow, you may not believe it, but I just finished writing the postscript of Volume 2, and the next second I opened a new word document to write the third episode of "The Story Behind This Work".

Time flies so fast! It’s episode 3 so soon.

If this continues, I feel like this series will end soon, because there aren’t many stories to tell (laughs).

Well, I don’t seem to have anything interesting to tell you lately, so let’s get straight to the main topic today! Let me tell you about Su Cheng’s character prototype.

******Following feature film**********

I told you last week that the prototype of Su Cheng's character is a legendary general who has never lost a battle in the history of our country.

I don’t know if anyone has guessed who this general is this week, and I don’t know if anyone has guessed it correctly (laughs).

I will announce the answer now!

The prototype of Su Cheng's character is Han Xin, the "Soldier Immortal" who is a rare military genius in my country!

I don’t know if I guessed it right.

Han Xin, anyone who knows a little bit about our country’s history knows who he is.

However, although they know who he is, many people may not know how strong Han Xin's military talents are.

Let me use one sentence (copied from Baidu Encyclopedia) to summarize Han Xin’s record:

"Capture Wei, destroy the dynasty, pacify Zhao, conquer Yan, conquer Qi, kill Long Qi in Weishui, defeat Xiang Yu in Gaixia, become famous all over the world, and powerful in all directions."

Just by saying this, you should be able to feel a domineering aura that makes you want to kneel on your knees, right? (laughing)

A large number of idioms in our country are related to Han Xin, such as:

An unparalleled scholar in the country, he built a plank road openly and secretly attacked Chen Cang, fought a last-ditch battle, was ambushed on all sides, was besieged on all sides... and so on.

If anyone is interested in Han Xin’s story and achievements, just go to Baidu and look it up. I won’t go into details here.

When I set up the character of Su Cheng, I used the "Soldier Immortal" Han Xin as the prototype.

So if you look at Su Cheng's life trajectory now, you will find that there are many similarities between Su Cheng's life trajectory and Han Xin's life trajectory.

for example:

Both of them seemed to have nothing to offer at first, and were despised and looked down upon by others.

Both of them are military geniuses that are rare to see in a thousand years. They have extremely high military talents and specialize in fighting all kinds of magical battles.

Both of them directly led the army into battle without any experience in leading troops. (Han Xin once joined Xiang Yu's army, joined the army, and served as a soldier, but he was just a pawn and had no chance.

capable of commanding an army)

Both of them were spotted by a big boss and then recommended.

In history, Han Xin was favored by Xiao He, and Xiao He saw the amazing military talent hidden in Han Xin (the two of them even had a beautiful conversation about "Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon").

Xiao He, who took a fancy to Han Xin's talent, recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang, and then Liu Bang directly promoted Han Xin to "General", and a legendary story unfolded.

(Actually, to be honest, every time I read Han Xin’s life journey, I feel like I’m reading a fantasy novel. Han Xin is simply the protagonist of a “waste” novel! His battles cannot be fought by humans at all.

of!)

Su Cheng was attracted by Jacob, and then Jacob recommended Su Cheng to Ge Zewen. Ge Zewen promoted Su Cheng to "Commander-in-Chief of the Counter-Rebel Army" and asked him to lead 5,000 people to counter-rebellion.

A legendary figure officially stepped onto the stage of history, and a legendary story officially unfolded.

In fact, looking at it this way, I feel that Su Cheng's life journey is a little normal (laughs).

Xiao He recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang, and then Liu Bang directly promoted Han Xin to "General". What is this concept?

This is equivalent to Jacob recommending Su Cheng to Go Zewen, and then Go Zewen directly promoting Su Cheng to the 13th unified knight in history! (laughing).

So, looking at it this way, it turns out that Su Cheng's life journey is a little more normal.

The life course of the protagonist of a novel is actually more normal than the life course of a character in official history...

Simply magical.

That's why I said that every time I read Han Xin's life journey, I feel like I'm reading a fantasy novel.

However, if we compare the early life experiences of Su Cheng and Han Xin, we can still find that Su Cheng is more abnormal than Han Xin.

For example: How did they get picked up by the big boss?

In history, Xiao He didn't just look at Han Xin and see how extraordinary he was.

After running away from Xiang Yu and coming to Liu Bang's camp, Han Xin worked as a food and salary officer.

Since he was in charge of food and wages, he would naturally have had several contacts with Xiao He, the "Prime Minister" of Han at that time.

It was during these contacts that Xiao He saw Han Xin's extraordinary qualities.

But Su Cheng's side is much simpler and rougher.

Jacob just took one look at Su Cheng and saw how extraordinary Su Cheng was. He concluded that he was a rare military genius that only happens once in a thousand years, and then recommended Su Cheng to Ge Zewen.

So, from this point of view, Han Xin's side is more normal, while Su Cheng's side is more abnormal (laughs)

In short, these two people each have their normal aspects, and at the same time, they also have some abnormal aspects.

The early life trajectories of Su Cheng and Han Xin were so similar, so will their later life trajectories be similar? (bad smile)

Let me tell you the truth, this book actually has many endings prepared.

There is a happy end, a bad end, and a normal ending.

In short, will Su Cheng's future life trajectory be the same as Han Xin's?

I actually don't know either.

but.

I'm actually a person who quite likes tragedy.

Okay! That’s it for this issue of “The Story Behind the Work”! See you in the next issue!

In the next issue, I will tell you about the historical prototypes of the two battles in Volume 2, the Battle of Irun Ferry and the Battle of Annihilation of the Wei River. That’s right! These two battles also have historical prototypes!
Chapter completed!
