A hundred thousand civilians, young and old, fled with the tiger-and-leopard cavalry, who could cover three hundred li a day, at their backs.
While everyone waited for benevolent salvation, the refugee Xing Feng brought the harshest solution to a lawless age.
A strategic analyst from a later generation awakened in the Three Kingdoms. He had seen through the tragedies in the Romance: Xu Shu trapped in Cao Cao's camp, Pang Tong killed at Falling Phoenix Slope, Guan Yu defeated at Maicheng, and a great fire at Yiling consuming the foundations of Shu Han.
To avoid that blood-soaked endgame, he was willing to become a poison strategist.
He stormed Zhang Fei's camp, using the common people as a shield to delay the empire's elite forces. He established three iron rules for strategists: claim no credit when a plan succeeds, accept the ax and executioner's blade when it fails, and repay anyone who insults me, while making anyone who employs me prosper.
He did not delight in killing, but believed in fighting poison with poison and ending war through killing.
Yet fate never bestows miracles for free. Every time he changed an ending, the butterfly effect ran wild: Cao Cao launched the Battle of Red Cliffs ahead of schedule, Lü Meng faked his death and went into hiding, and Sima Yi took his place at court far too early. The memories of the story in his mind were slowly becoming useless.
Let Zhuge Liang handle open schemes. Xing Feng would take the perilous, bloodstained roads hidden from the light.
From an unknown orphan fleeing Xinye to the foremost odd strategist of the Han dynasty.
Watch the poison strategist direct his plans, sweep away Wei and Wu, and restore the mighty Han!
