Curator note

In the sixth year of the Zhongping era, Emperor Ling died, and a new emperor ascended the throne. The Ten Attendants rebelled, General He Jin was killed, and Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou entered the capital, deposing and installing the emperor. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and other generals fled, raising troops in Guandong. The seemingly carefree Zhang Zhaohu transformed into Zhang Liao, plunging headlong into the wolf pack, working under Dong Zhuo. With such a poor background and infamous reputation, how could he attract strategists and generals? Five words: deception, trickery, and capture. "I'd rather fight the world than let the world fight me." He made Yuan Shu grit his teeth, Yuan Shao furious, Cao Cao flee in terror, and the disorganized warlords of Guandong united in their hatred… He pacified the Qiang tribes, reopened the Hexi Corridor, swept through the Xiongnu, attacked the Xianbei, defeated the Wuhuan, and expanded his territory, building cities. Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh: "Enemies fill the world, but I have no beautiful wife." Jia Xu, expressionless, replied: "This is the beautiful wife bestowed upon you by Lord Dong!" Wang Yun spoke sternly: All the generals of Bingzhou may be pardoned, but Zhang Liao alone shall not be pardoned! (Group number: 40568008)
