Cao Ang transmigrated to the late Han dynasty and kicked Cao Cao off his feet during the battle of Wancheng. Father and son fell out, and Cao Ang was banished to Luoyang for ten years. During that time, he built universities, developed infrastructure, stockpiled grain, trained troops, and taught a million people to read and write, turning the ruins of Luoyang into an isolated haven amid the chaos. Cao Cao suddenly died of a headache, throwing Xuchang into turmoil. Cao Pi was about to take over, Liu Xie was secretly courting Xun Yu, and the strategists were ready to make their moves. Meanwhile, a million teachers and students in Luoyang shouted in unison, "Revolt!" Cao Ang slammed his hand on the table and sprang to his feet. "Inherit what? I'm rebelling!" With Luoyang's million people, millions of dan of grain, and a network of secret agents he'd spent ten years building, he would launch his campaign from Luoyang to Xuchang and claim the realm. As for Cao Cao? Oh, right.
