Three Kingdoms: I Was a Fierce General, but Cao Cao Taught Me to Rule

After transmigrating to the late Han dynasty, Xu Zhen found himself among a massive refugee army. Just as the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept through Yan Province, he happened to meet Cao Cao.

To repay Cao Cao for a meal, Xu Zhen planned to kill enemies and earn merit, settling the debt between them.

But Cao Cao unexpectedly discovered that Xu Zhen was the son he had lost among the common people!

As Xu Zhen gradually revealed his talents, Cao Cao was eager to nurture him. He appointed him as a military strategist and kept him close, caring for him so much that he feared his successor might come to harm.

Xu Zhen, meanwhile, felt deeply indebted to Cao Cao for his kindness, and his determination to distinguish himself only grew.

The Battle of Puyang.

"My lord, Lu Bu is too formidable. Our army cannot hold him back!"

Cao Cao: "Military strategist, what plan do you propose?"

"The strategist has already gone to fight Lu Bu himself!"

The Battle of Guandu.

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou have overwhelming strength. I'm afraid we can't defeat them!"

Cao Cao: "Keep an eye on the strategist first!"

"The strategist has already taken troops into battle!"

Watching Xu Zhen earn extraordinary merit time and again while putting himself in danger, Cao Cao could not tell whether to be happy or worried. At this point, he was simply numb.

"You're going to be the ruler of Wei someday. Could you stop taking such reckless risks?"

"I'll tell you the truth..."
