In the second year of Jian'an, Chen Ning, a graduate student in the history department, traveled to a dilapidated thatched cottage in Yingchuan County and became a poor scholar from a poor family.
He has a system called "Control the World", but its functions are pitifully poor - no artifacts, no weapons, no medical kits, only a mission guide and an attribute panel that is better than nothing. If you want to survive and live well in this world, you can only rely on your own brain.
Starting out as a copycat under the sect of Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, Chen Ning relied on his photographic memory and precise grasp of historical trends to step into the edge of Cao Cao's core decision-making circle. He personally witnessed the capture of Lu Bu at Baimen Tower, witnessed Guan Yu beheading Yan Liang in front of the formation, gave advice and suggestions in the flames of the Battle of Guandu, and organized a retreat in the flames of Chibi. He drank with Guo Jia and discussed the world, asked Jia Xu for advice on how to deal with the world, and understood the responsibilities and limitations of counselors in Xun Yu's eyes.
However, when a person who knows the direction of history is truly involved in the flow of history, he finds that he can change far less than he imagined. The outcome of a battle is determined by countless variables, and the delicacy of people's hearts is difficult to measure. True wisdom is not a myth about turning the tide, but making every move well on a limited chessboard.
From "knowing" to "understanding", this is a story about growth. When the spring breeze of the 14th year of Jian'an blew through the streets of Xudu, the uneasy scholar who stood in front of Xun Yue's gate was already the military advisor under Cao Cao's tent. He still has a long way to go.
Intention: The essence of growth is from "knowing" to "understanding".
