Three Kingdoms: I Went to Visit a Relative and Became Cao Cao's Top Strategist

In 196 AD, Lu Fang transmigrates to the Three Kingdoms era and becomes the grandson of Lu Boshe.

In this life, Lu Boshe was not killed by Cao Cao, but died of a plague. Using a family letter as his pretext, the protagonist visits Cao Cao to ask for an official post.

He never gets to meet Cao Cao. Instead, he befriends a man who calls himself Old Meng, who keeps asking him about affairs of state, the welfare of the people, and questions like:

“What kind of person do you think Cao Cao is?”

“When do you think we should attack Yuan Shao?”

“Who do you think could succeed Cao Cao?”

Lu Fang is speechless. I’m a transmigrator bound to the strongest strategist System, and you won’t introduce me to Cao Cao? Instead, you ask me these irrelevant questions every day?

Just as the protagonist realizes that everything he told Old Meng has been adopted by the state of Wei, he exclaims, “So you’ve been stealing all the credit for yourself, Old Meng!”

When Lu Fang decides to go alone to Cao Cao’s camp and ask for a post, Old Meng quietly tells him, “I’m Cao Cao!”
