“Lord Xuande, the key to victory in restoring the Han lies in Xiangyang. We have to take it!”
After transmigrating to the end of the Han dynasty, Xiao He had planned to join Cao Cao’s camp nearby, but they dismissed him as a madman. By a twist of fate, Guan Yinping found him and brought him back to Jingzhou.
A penniless nobody with no identity, Xiao He decisively chose to cling to Liu Bei and secure himself a long-term meal ticket.
Just then, Cao Cao’s army of eight hundred thousand marched south toward Jingzhou. Liu Cong surrendered without a fight, and Liu Bei was about to take flight once more.
Xiao He immediately persuaded Liu Bei to launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang, stopping Cao Cao north of the Han River and ultimately forcing him to retreat in defeat.
After that, he helped Liu Bei seize Jingzhou, march into Jiangdong, and campaign north to conquer the Central Plains and destroy Cao Wei, restoring the Han dynasty three times!
Liu Bei: “Xiao He commands troops like a god. He’s a military genius reborn, and none in the land can match him. Was Heaven’s will that I should find him?”
Zhuge Liang: “With Xiao He at my lord’s side, I no longer have to serve as Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin all at once. At last, I won’t have to work myself to death.”
Sun Quan: “A man who used to sell straw sandals, teamed up with a country bumpkin... and that bizarre combination can wipe out my Sun clan?”
Guan Yu: “Only Xiao Bowen is worthy of marrying my tiger daughter. He is the perfect son-in-law for the Guan family!”
Cao Cao: “Which fool turned Xiao He away back then? I’ll wipe out his entire clan!”
