Three Kingdoms: My Wife Helps Me Become a Warlord

[Three Kingdoms transmigration + historical power struggle + farming and development + famed generals and strategists + no System + rigorous logic]

In the first year of Zhongping, undercurrents stir in Luoyang, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion is on the verge of erupting.

Yuan Yi transmigrates to the end of the Han dynasty as a collateral relative of the Runan Yuan clan.

He has no illustrious status and no System to help him. All he has is a leaky manor, a handful of aging retainers, and a ledger belonging to the Way of Great Peace that implicates countless people.

When the Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out, he joins Cao Cao on the march to Changshe. When Liangzhou falls into turmoil, he fights alongside Sun Jian. When Dong Zhuo enters the capital and the warlords of Guandong gather in an alliance, he uses his knowledge of the general state of the realm to recruit talent, establish trade routes, and stockpile grain ahead of time.

Yuan Shao has former students and family retainers across the realm. Cao Cao controls the emperor and commands the lords. Liu Bei wins hearts with benevolence and righteousness. The Sun clan rules Jiangdong from the Yangtze.

What Yuan Yi has are farmland, trade routes, the people, and a group willing to stand by him through thick and thin.

All he wants is for his followers to have land to farm and food to eat, so they do not have to be at the mercy of others in this chaotic age.

Many years later, the lords of the four corners of the realm stand in opposition.

Only then do people realize that the once-overlooked collateral member of the Yuan clan has become a warlord powerful enough to reshape the realm.
