[Decisive and ruthless + a sly protagonist + a conquest-minded hero + poor strategy but overwhelming strength]
He transmigrates to the Three Kingdoms era as Cao Yu, Cao Cao’s younger brother. He considers himself peerless in strategy, but from the start he is bound to a system that multiplies his strength ten thousandfold.
When the world mocks Cao Yu as “mediocre in talent and ordinary in strategy,” he gives a faint smile, rolls his shoulders, and throws a punch!
“Report! Hua Xiong is here! He’s cut down several of our generals and is challenging us to battle!”
“Report! Hua Xiong is dead! Cao Yu went for a stroll and, from three hundred paces away, threw a pebble that smashed his head to pieces!”
“Report! The Flying General Lü Bu is challenging us and shouting insults nonstop!”
“Report! The Flying General Lü Bu is here, and he’s been captured! Cao Yu walked over and dragged him back to camp by the neck!”
“Report! Dong Zhuo has burned Luoyang, and Chang’an is now holding out behind closed gates!”
“Report! Dong Zhuo has been burned alive! Cao Yu punched him to death, then lit a candle!”
“...”
As one military dispatch after another spreads across the realm, everyone is so astonished they might as well have seen their great-grandmother smiling at them!
Yuan Shao flies into a rage: “How could Mengde have a younger brother this good? I want to trade brothers with him!”
Yuan Shu rolls his eyes!
Liu Bei sighs: “We should keep to our own affairs and wait for the right moment. We cannot contend with Cao Yu!” Then he asks, “But, second and third brothers, if the three of us join forces, do we have any chance of beating Cao Yu?”
Guan Yu’s face turns even redder, and Zhang Fei’s even darker.
Only Cao Cao smiles. “Zimeng, maybe go a little easier on them next time. The war is almost over, and my soldiers are all complaining that you’re taking every last bit of the credit!”
Cao Yu’s mouth twitches. “That’s nonsense! I’m a strategist. It’s not my fault I’m a little stronger than most!”
“And, Brother, have you really not considered becoming president of Blue Star?”
The protagonist's mental age is only that of a three or four-year-old.
The protagonist looks down on Diao Chan, yet he still wants to take her as his wife. I think he's being ruthless and cruel. How boring!
