Modern history teacher Lin Fu accidentally traveled to the first year of Jian'an and fell into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood on the battlefield of Hulao Pass. Without a golden finger or systematic support, he relied only on the fragmented historical knowledge and modern thinking in his mind to survive in the troubled times where the princes were divided. From the idea of "dividing fields for cultivation" during the grain shortage in Yanzhou to the use of meteorological laws in the attack and defense of Xuzhou; from offering suggestions for the attack on the Chibi River, to discussing the strategy of farming with Zhuge Liang in front of Wuzhangyuan, he was gradually involved in the whirlpool of history, using mortal wisdom to rewrite the subtle trends.
He witnessed Cao Cao's power, Liu Bei's benevolence, and Sun Quan's success. He also witnessed Lu Bu's fall, Guo Jia's early death, and Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. In this real Three Kingdoms without fantasy, he is not a savior, but an ordinary person who is swept away by the tide of the times, trying to use knowledge to make a living for the people and add a footnote to history. When he looked back at his life as an old man, he realized that he had long become a vague "strategist" in the history books, and the rewritten farming system, improved weaponry, and recorded people's livelihood policies were silently changing the trajectory of this era.
This is a story about survival, choice and the remnants of history. There are no adventures from the sky, only every real footprint made by mortals in troubled times.
