Personal Book List: A Preference for Historical and Fanfiction Novels
(Ratings may change) Five stars: Top-tier favorites. I read them every day and give them priority. Four stars: Following. I keep up with ongoing stories, though sometimes with breaks. Three stars: Letting them build up. They haven't quite hooked me, so I'll read them later. Two stars: On hold. Not great, but not bad enough to drop. One star: A shame. I liked them, but they started strong and fizzled out, or were abandoned. So sometimes even a one-star book can be pretty good.

The protagonist travels to Cao Rui. In fact, he doesn't have to do anything. He needs to take good care of his body. He can live decades longer than his previous life, have more sons, and wait until his sons grow up. The emperor of the Cao family is too short-lived. If Sima Yi dies, everything will be unknown. Now, Cao Rui is already the third generation of the Cao family, and he already has the inertia of a dynasty. As long as he doesn't seek death and lives for a few more decades, the inertia of history will push Cao Wei for at least a hundred years. To put it bluntly in politics, the one who survives to the end is the biggest winner.
The Sima family was not ambitious from the beginning. After all, Sima Yi was old, Cao Rui was in his prime, and his strength was not the strongest. As a result, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were sent one after another, Kong Ming brother was gone, Cao Rui died young, and he passively became the strongest party. Unfortunately, the person in charge of the Cao family was still Cao Shuang, a precious person. It would be a bit impolite to not use your brain.
It's a pity that Cao Rui died young. You still have to pay attention to your health when playing Cao Rui. In terms of politics and military, as long as you PK the Sima family, the rest will be a push. Simple mode.
The first thing to confirm is that there are 50,000 people in Zhanghe and 20,000 in Ma Su. There are huge hills and flat areas in the streets and pavilions, so there is no danger to defend. Then
1. Ma Su relied on the terrain to perfectly block Zhang He, stood firm without fighting, and successfully survived Zhuge Liang's return for reinforcements - Sima Yi level 2. Ma Su sent out suspicious soldiers, dispersed Zhang He's troops, bypassed Zhang He's camp, and forced Zhang He to flee in panic. Ma Su pursued and killed him all the way, and gained a lot - Zhang Liao level Don't 3. Ma Su pretended to be unprepared to lure Zhang He to attack, but actually set up an ambush, defeated Zhang He, and shocked Chang'an - Zhang Fei level 4.

Ma Su arranged his troops in formation, stationed in front of the horse army, and stood up with a sword. No one in Zhang He's army dared to challenge, so he had to lead his troops away - Lu Bu Level 6. Ma Su divided his troops into small groups, harassed Zhang He all the way, and used high maneuverability to tear Zhang He's 50,000-strong army into small groups. And annihilate it - Genghis Khan level 7. Ma Di said nothing, led his troops into battle, and ran for a long distance. Before Zhang He could reach the street pavilion, he led his troops to break through the enemy, went straight to the Chinese army camp, and captured Zhang He, - Huo Qubing level 8.

Ma Di took advantage of the situation to pursue and recapture most of the Wei army's food and grass - Su Lie and Su Dingfang level 11. Ma Di built a barracks on the mountain. Before Zhang He arrived, he ate all the food, destroyed all the heavy equipment, and then stood high. The next step was to charge through Zhang He's army formation - Han Xin level 12. Ma Di was condescending and rushed through Zhang He's army formation. After reorganizing the army, he attacked all the way to Xuchang - Xiang Yu level 13.

After gathering the remaining troops, he turned around and defeated Zhang He - Li Shimin's level 15. Ma Su surveyed the terrain and judged the best place to camp, as well as all the places where Zhang He might camp.

He personally led 800 people and suddenly robbed the camp. Zhang He was frightened and fled in panic - Li Jing level 16. Ma Su camped on the mountain, but Zhang He cut off the water source.

When both sides were at the end of their efforts, 5,000 people marched forward and broke through Zhang He's army formation - Caesar Gaius level.
I was confused. The Three Kingdoms was essentially a bad era. The Shu Han led by Liu Bei could exist for decades only because the other two were bad enough! To refine it further, it's the background of the family! They all advocate Cao Cao, what is there to brag about! Boss Cao failed to unify the world due to small losses and various accidents, and he even called it a competition among the heroes! Not to mention the Jiangdong rats! With the resources of the Cao Wei regime, it would only be a matter of time before a capable emperor from the Han Dynasty could unify the world!
The protagonist thinks too far
Why does the author always think about expansion? The Three Kingdoms have not yet been unified, and he still thinks about the Western Regions. It is still possible to accept the three Koreas, after all, it has been under the influence of the Central Plains for a long time; it is okay to let Japan surrender in name, the emperor wants to save face, and there is no loss; if you have nothing to do with the Western Regions, Liangzhou will not be stable, the population will not recover, and the military will not be rich. It will be reorganized after unification. And I always like to say something to future generations. Since ancient times, before modern times, was there any reason for the expansion of strength in the Central Plains? In places where there is no rule in modern times, who will recognize you since ancient times?
The failure of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was due to the root cause. The emperor was personally strong. For example, no matter how good Cao Rui was in history, he could still keep the minimum limit. It had nothing to do with whether Sima Yi usurped your Cao family and the world. If you reform, you won't be able to touch the cake of aristocratic families. 70% Of the land and population in Kyushu belongs to other families. If they give you 30%, you have to look at the family's attitude. As for the untouchables? The average life expectancy is less than thirty-five, and you can't read a word. How can you rely on untouchables to reform? The passage that describes the untouchables the most in the history books of the Three Kingdoms is your ancestor Cao Cao. For example, Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou three times and the Si River stopped flowing. For example, the bones are exposed in the wild and there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles. So your Cao family is worse than the Sima family.
What is the difference between such a protagonist and the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? He has the ability but does not use it. He uses his intelligence and wisdom almost entirely to balance and control the ministers. Maybe you can arrange the success of the protagonist in the book, but in fact the probability of successful unity is very low. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. As the supreme leader, the emperor's words and deeds affect the atmosphere below. If you are greedy for pleasure, how can you ask the people below to work hard? Extravagance will definitely prevail. The disadvantage of excessive centralization is that the eyes of the world are staring at you, and you can't do many things you want to do.
I don't understand why every modern person wants to bring modern policy ideas with him to ancient times. To be honest, China and the United States, both modern countries, have different ideas. Why does the protagonist have confidence that ancient people can recognize modern ideas?
