After transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Shan, who had joined the Zhuge clan, became an officer under Cao Cao.
At the time, plague was rampant throughout the army, causing heavy casualties. Cao Cao frowned, unable to think of a good solution.
Zhuge Shan suggested using catapults to hurl the bodies of the dead into the enemy camp.
Cao Cao was startled, while Jia Xu could only exclaim, "A master!"
With one move, the enemy lost tens of thousands of men and was left unable to fight.
Later, Zhuge Shan used several more sinister schemes, saddling Cao Cao with quite a few unsavory labels.
The Battle of Red Cliffs was on the verge of breaking out, and Cao Cao called on Zhuge Shan to take the field.
Zhuge Shan: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister! This humble servant does have a plan! His name will go down in history in a blaze of glory!"
Cao Cao was taken aback. "Glory to his reputation, or disgrace to his character?"
Zhuge Shan: "That's none of your business."
Cao Cao: "Young man, sit down and don't rush!"
Cheng Yu: "Zhuge Shan is skilled with poison."
Jia Xu: "Lately, I keep feeling like Zhuge Shan has me completely in his shadow."
Strategist: "Zhuge Shan, what's your name again? Something's still missing!"
Cao Cao: "I feel like I've become a better person since I met Zhuge Shan!"
