In the beginning, Liu Xuan was trapped in the "weak man" dilemma, and unexpectedly activated the "monthly lottery system": from the acquired realm of "The Golden Bell" to make up for the shortcomings in military force, to aspirin to save the county's old mother and win people's hearts, from potatoes and corn seeds to solve the food shortage, to the plow and telescope to empower people's livelihood and the military - the system never provides "crushing power", but it becomes a key help for him to combine the tactical thinking of modern special forces, basic medical and agricultural knowledge, and break the situation in troubled times.
In order to escape the whirlpool of internal strife in the palace, Liu Xuan used the trick of female counselor Qian Xue to escape to Guanyang County - this "desperate land" where the Yellow Turbans were rampant, the treasury was empty, and three county magistrates resigned, became the starting point of his power. He used the "Beheading Plan" to annihilate the Jiulu Mountain bandit Ye Lie, and used "recruitment + name rectification" to conquer the Yellow Turban Zhou Cang in Qingqiu Mountain; he overthrew the corrupt county magistrate Ye Xin, and built a core team of "Guo Jia as the mastermind, Li Yi in charge of the government, and Zhou Cang in charge of the army"; and he used "fighting generals to show weakness + canyon ambush + "Attack the hearts and minds to persuade them to surrender", and brought the eight thousand elite Yellow Turbans from Donglai County and the commander Guan Hai under his command, transforming Guanyang County from "hunger and death everywhere" to the foundation of "sufficient food and strong soldiers".
