Three Kingdoms: With the Overlord Template from the Start, Cao Cao Sends Me on a Mission

Xu Zhen transmigrates to the late Han Dynasty in 193 AD, becoming an obscure young military officer under Cao Cao.

He plans to earn military merit and gradually secure a comfortable life under Cao Cao.

That year, Yuan Shu suddenly gathers an army of a hundred thousand to attack Yanzhou.

Cao Cao sends the obscure Xu Zhen to defend Kuangting with just three thousand raw recruits. In reality, he's sending Xu Zhen to his death, while the main army surrounds the enemy from both sides and waits to claim the spoils.

Cao Cao: "He's just a low-ranking officer. It won't matter if he loses. As long as our troops' morale holds, I have my own way of taking Yuan Shu."

Fortunately, Xu Zhen loads the Hegemon template at just the right moment. With eight hundred cavalry, he smashes Yuan Shu's vanguard, gathering up horses and troops along the way and steadily growing his forces.

He chases Yuan Shu for six hundred li, all the way to Shouchun, and makes a great name for himself! Every night, Yuan Shu dreams of the furious roar of Xu Zhen's cavalry.

From then on, he welcomes the Son of Heaven, fights at Guandu, and spends his days eating, sleeping, and taking on Cao Cao.

Xu Zhen begins a cheat-fueled life in the late Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao: "Zhen! I was a little too loud earlier. Come back."
