Waging War with Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, While the Whole World Calls Me Cao Thief

In the chaotic Great Yong, where human life is worth less than a dog's, compassion is an epitaph meant for the dead.

Lu Chen was just an ordinary modern man until, in the death-row prison, he met Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, who had also transmigrated.

A bizarre law bound their fates together, forcing these two of the most terrifying schemers in the history of the Three Kingdoms to become Lu Chen's advisors.

No System to give him an unfair advantage, only deadly strategies that plumb the depths of human nature.

Short on soldiers? Hand out food rations and make the refugees sign a life-or-death pledge: stay, and your whole family lives; leave, and your whole family freezes to death.

Short on food? Use a “righteous” report of defiance to make the Grand Commander and the censors in the capital willingly send him thirty thousand dan of fine grain.

Short on horses? Set fire to the enemy nation's border market in the middle of the night, crush three thousand guards, and seize every person and horse.

From seizing power by killing his immediate superior to building a monument of enemy heads at the refugee front.

From a dilapidated Zhenyuan battalion on the border to a private iron-armored army that terrified every warlord in the land.

Jia Xu calculated every ounce of greed and fear in the world, while Cheng Yu used the coldest blade to cut down every obstacle.

And under the relentless pressure of these two living Yamas, Lu Chen finally transformed into a true peerless warlord, one who inspired utter despair.

“I never wanted to devour people. But if this world wants to devour me, then I'll take the whole world, pot and all.”, Lu Chen.
