I am surprised that you would not retreat this far against invaders; emotions are truly uncontrollable things.

"Kingdom" has many lines that make you think. The true value of words worth pondering—more than the famous lines of the day—lies not in the catchphrases, but in the casual scenes.

<<Synopsis>>

Xin, a servant of the Qin state, helps the prince reclaim his throne to fulfill his and Piao's dream. Joined by He Liao Diao, whom they met during their escape, Ying Zheng and the others form an alliance with the help of the Mountain King to carry out the operation to reclaim the throne.

Entering the royal capital of Xianyang, Xin and his group fight as a guerrilla unit against the soldiers of the prince's faction in the corridors and the royal palace, winning the fierce battle. Thus, Ying Zheng and the Mountain Kings quelled the palace rebellion.

Having quelled the palace rebellion, Xin is given wealth and a house from his status as a servant and officially becomes a citizen of Qin.

Then, he responds to an infantry recruitment notice posted in his village and heads to the battlefield for his first campaign. Bi, who fought with him in the battle to reclaim the throne, is also on the battlefield.

Although Xin and his group fight on the battlefield of their first campaign, the infantry unit is forced into a difficult struggle. In the midst of this, Great General Biao Gong sends a cavalry unit as reinforcements to the battlefield where Xin and his group are.

While Bi's cavalry unit supports the infantry, the thousand-man commander Bo Hu Shen decides to throw Xin and his group, who had performed well, into an even deadlier situation. Xin and his group, who are mounted, finally reach the Wei army's main camp on the hill.

The Wei general Gong Yuan and Bo Hu Shen kill each other, and Xin and his group capture the hill in the battle that follows the deaths of both generals. In the final battle between the supreme commander of Wei and the supreme commander of Qin, the Wei supreme commander Wu Qing further solidifies his resolve.

❤️Does the spirit transcend the body!?

Making up your mind. That makes a person's heart, technique, and body strong and firm.

I wrote the same thing in yesterday's article, but I will write something similar today.

The mind controls (solidifies) the body. When the mind, which is consciousness, solidifies, the body moves to match it.

Consciousness is one aspect, but desire is also a part of the heart. If you think you want something, you will move to grab it even if you have to push yourself.

However, just because the mind can move the body does not mean it is always a good thing. It is self-evident that even if you are driven by consciousness or desire, if your body is weakening, you will not be able to reach your goal.

It is more accurate to say that the body cannot endure the spirit, rather than the spirit transcending the body.

❤️If you know your heart (mind) and know your self (body), you will not be in danger in a hundred battles.

　In the end, I have not properly trained my own body. I have not grasped my own health.
　To win without fighting. That is what comes from training your own body and skills.

　Know the dangers (crises) of your body!

　Even the battle-hardened General Go Kei is driven by his heart. When the heart exerts itself, it is tested by how much the body has been strengthened through accumulated training.
