Chen Lie transmigrates to the end of the Han dynasty, only to open his eyes and find himself bound to an altar by Yellow Turban remnants.
The good news: the peerless general template System has activated.
The bad news: the System detects that this world is wrong and immediately tries to make a run for it.
Chen Lie grabs the System’s glowing orb on the spot. “Want to leave? Fine, but pay me for emotional damages first.”
The helpless System compensates him with three gifts: Yuchi Gong’s template, a pair of shapeable iron ingots, and a keen eye for recognizing people.
Chen Lie uses the iron to forge a pair of male-and-female twin whips, then joins Cao Cao in Chenliu.
At their first meeting, Cao Cao takes him for nothing more than a dark-faced young man.
That is, until Hua Xiong cuts down several warlords’ generals in succession at Sishui Pass, and none of the eighteen warlords dares face him.
Cao Cao asks quietly, “Chen Lie, will you fight?”
Chen Lie mounts his horse, whip in hand. “My lord, warm the wine. I’ll be right back.”
An incense stick later, Hua Xiong’s head is on the ground.
Guan Yu quietly sets down his wine cup.
Later, when Lu Bu runs rampant before Hulao Pass, Cao Cao has only to shout one thing:
“Black Fiend, hold him off for me!”
Come on! Not bad, good, I love it
