Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Chief Strategist

Lan Bafu transmigrates to Wancheng in the late Eastern Han dynasty and turns the tide on the eve of Cao Cao's defeat.

He not only helps Cao Cao escape, but saves Cao Ang and Dian Wei as well, earning himself a place at the heart of Cao Cao's camp.

When defeating Lu Bu, he cuts off his supply lines. Before the Battle of Baima, he accurately predicts Yan Liang's surprise attack.

At the Battle of Guandu, he raids Wuchao at night and uses fire to rout Yuan Shao's army of one hundred thousand.

At Mount Bailang, he lays an ambush that crushes the Wuhuan, clearing the north for Cao Cao.

After repeated defeats, Liu Bei laments, "This man has anticipated my every move." On his deathbed, Yuan Shao sighs, "Heaven favors Cao because Bafu is on his side." As soon as a secret letter about Sun Ce of Jiangdong's planned raid on Xuchang is sent, Lan Bafu intercepts it.

While strategists like Guo Jia and Xun Yu fall silent before the sand table he has plotted out, Lan Bafu has already spread out a map of the Nine Provinces. The fires of this chaotic age will finally be extinguished by his hand on the game pieces.
