When Liu Bei first entered Xudu, he was treated as General Zuo by Cao Cao. Behind the courtesy was strict surveillance. How did Liu Bei create the only chance for himself in a seemingly absolute disadvantage through the operation of human heart and wisdom. Progressing layer by layer, the subtlety of the strategy, the cruelty of politics and the thrill of escape are vividly displayed. Liu Bei: The hidden "arranger". Loyal on the outside, clear on the inside, hearing thunder in the silent place.
· Cao Cao: The "Hunter" who controls everything. Suspicious and talented, he admires and fears Liu Bei, which is the main source of oppression in the whole book.
· Liu Xie: The unwilling "key chess player". He is no longer a cowardly puppet, but a wise monarch who cares about the Han Dynasty and tolerates cooperation.
