Three Kingdoms: I Helped Cao Cao Subdue Guan Yu from the Start

He transmigrates to the late Han and Three Kingdoms era, becoming Cao Zhang, the Cao family's blond-bearded son.

From the start, he helps Cao Cao subdue Guan Yu, preventing him from making his thousand-mile journey to rejoin Liu Bei.

Then he successfully builds his own inner circle of Cao-family successors, seizes control of the military, joins the succession struggle, and ascends the throne as emperor.

Cao Cao: "How are we supposed to subdue Guan Yu?"

Cao Zhang: "Don't worry, Father. I have a plan!"

Cao Cao: "Damn it! We have no provisions for the Battle of Guandu. What do we do?"

Cao Zhang: "Don't worry. I've already laid an ambush at Wuchao. Yuan Shao will run out of food before you do!"

Cao Cao: "Zhang'er is both a scholar and a warrior. He's the best heir for Great Wei."

Cao Zhang: "Father, declare yourself emperor. Do you really want your son to take the blame for usurping the throne?"

Cao Cao: "At last, we've unified the land."

Cao Zhang holds up a world map. "Father, this is the real world!"
