Yuan Xu transmigrates into the body of Yuan Wei’s nephew. Serving under Zhu Jun, he advises him to refuse the Yellow Turbans’ surrender and insists on surrounding three sides while leaving one open, wiping out the enemy forces. With a keen eye for talent, he brings Huang Zhong, the future veteran general of Shu Han, under his command. On the battlefield, Huang Zhong kills two Yellow Turban commanders, Sun Zhong and Han Zhong, one after the other, but this sparks friction with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Xu sets aside his plan to kill Liu Bei for now and sends troops to pursue the remaining enemy forces.
