In the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu. The eldest son Cao Ang, who was supposed to die in the battle in Wancheng, had his fate changed due to a butterfly effect. He saw through Zhang Xiu's plan to surrender, saved Dian Wei and his life, and then used his iron-blooded skills to reshape the laws of troubled times.
Facing the covetous Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, he led the tiger and leopard cavalry to sweep across the Central Plains; facing Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's undercurrent of seizing the direct descendants, he used power to check and balance the clan; facing Sima Yi's forbearing ambition, he suppressed it with hegemony. From "the benevolent and filial son" to the "killing god of Cao Wei", he ended the Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty. He used war to end wars and used killing to prove the truth.
