Three Kingdoms: From the Start, I Use Hidden Troops to Hunt Down Lü Bu

(Political Scheming + Conquest + Alternate History + Wish Fulfillment) Cao Hua transmigrates to the end of the Han dynasty and becomes a cousin of Cao Cao. From the start, he fools the warlords into making Cao Cao their alliance leader. At Hulao Pass, he uses a vicious scheme to thrash Lü Bu. Then he ventures alone into the northern frontier, unleashing one poisonous plot after another, leaving Yuan Shao without an heir and turning his three sons against one another until they perish in the fighting. He even wins over Yuan Shao’s daughter.

Jia Xu: Everyone says I, Jia Xu, am the most treacherous strategist under heaven, but my cruelty is not even one ten-thousandth of Cao Hua’s!

Cao Cao: My cousin is good at everything, except he’s far too ruthless. He needs to calm down!
