I Am a Chief Strategist in the Three Kingdoms

Author, hang in there! Some comments are just for the sake of criticizing, solely to attack Cao Cao. People write things like "If you're against Cao Cao, I won't read this anymore" in the comments section. It's like they're just trying to disgust people. And some people even say that Cao Cao's subordinates all suffered terribly. If you look up the Records of the Three Kingdoms, most of Cao Cao's subordinates died peacefully. Don't take Romance of the Three Kingdoms as historical fact.

Wait a minute, why would someone do something for the people and then defect to Cao Cao? That's confusing. Shouldn't someone who wanted to protect the common people have defected to Liu Bei or Yuan Shao? Cao Cao was probably the one who slaughtered the most cities and civilians in the Three Kingdoms period...

That's good. I've read too many novels about conquering the world; now I prefer those about supporting characters.

A high-quality Three Kingdoms story, set in Cao Wei, safe and effective. Highly recommended. Having read the first few chapters, I feel the author's historical references are quite good, the logic is sound, and there's interaction, making it comparable to many older books. The only downside is the excessive number of exclamation marks in the first chapter, which is a bit annoying.

I came across this book while searching for "Cao Cao's Records of Massacres," but I haven't read it yet. I saw some people trying to whitewash Cao Cao, so I thought I'd say a few words and discuss Cao Cao's records of massacres. In the fourth year of the Chuping era (193 AD), the Later Han dynasty attacked Tao Qian, and a massacre was carried out in Xuzhou. "After attacking Tao Qian...

There's no need to whitewash Cao Cao; he can't be. However, for a figure like Cao Cao, there's no point in trying to whitewash him. He was a typical feudal warlord, and a rather wicked one at that. Zhu Wen, Huang Chao, and Cao Cao certainly shared common ground. Although I massacred hundreds of thousands, indirectly causing the deaths of millions, leaving the people under my rule pale, ragged, and barely clothed, and burdened with exorbitant taxes, I can still write poetry!

I'll start a thread to discuss whether the Nine-Rank System was truly entirely useless. Let me state my opinion first. He's not entirely without merit, but overall his faults outweigh his merits. So why do I say he's not entirely without merit? A major taboo in studying history is judging the ancients by our own standards. So let's put this in the context of that time.

The book is very good, but it's about Cao Cao. Those who like Cao Cao can read it without worry. I'm leaving now.

I've seen many people say that Cao Cao massacred cities and ate people—this is documented and indisputable. But they all praise Liu Bei. Whether Liu Bei himself ate people is unclear, but his army did. The *Records of Heroes* states: "When Liu Bei's army was in Guangling, they were starving and exhausted. The officers and soldiers, high and low, ate each other.

I'm sorry, the book is very well written, but I never read historical novels with a single female lead. I don't believe a modern man could have a lifelong monogamous relationship in ancient times; it's too unrealistic. Besides, Lü Lingqi, as a single female lead, doesn't really have the presence to carry the story. I wish each other well, goodbye~
