AD 200, that is, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the five years of Jian 'an, the world situation changed, the vassals around the division of one side, the war smoke everywhere. At this time, Yuan Shao was already a general who unified the four prefectures of Ji, Qing, Ping and You, and his power was strong for a time. However, in this war-torn land, Cao Cao quickly rose to become Yuan Shao's most formidable opponent with his strategy of "coercing the son of heaven to make the princes." As the spheres of influence of both sides continued to expand, conflict inevitably broke out - and the Battle of Guandu began.
This battle is not only a contest of military strength, but also the peak of wisdom and strategy. Yuan Shao assembled the forces of the four prefectures to go south, intending to destroy Cao Cao at one stroke; Cao Cao, by virtue of his excellent strategic vision and flexible tactical deployment, sought to turn the tide in an unfavorable situation. In this fierce confrontation that lasted nearly half a year, the two sides came and went, each winning and losing, and the situation was once stuck in a state of deadlock.
At such a critical moment of change, a sudden change quietly descended on the Yuan Shao camp. When Yuan Shang, the young gentleman chosen by fate, wakes up from a coma, he finds himself in a world that is both familiar and strange. His memories are filled with fragments of modern life: his post-college job, the laughter among his friends, the seemingly ordinary but precious days. However, at this moment, he has become the son of the famous Yuan Shao in history, and is about to face a major battle that will change the family and even the entire northern pattern.
The rest of the story will revolve around how Yuan Shang ADAPTS to this new identity. From the initial confusion about the environment, to gradually accept the reality and try to find a way to survive; From trying to use his knowledge from the future to influence the course of the war, to finally realizing that his own power is powerless in the face of the tide of history. In this process, Yuan Shang must not only deal with the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, but also deal with the relationship between his brothers, and face the expectations and tests of his father Yuan Shao. Through a series of thrilling experiences, Yuan Shang gradually grew into a true leader, but also deeply realized the brilliance and sorrow of humanity behind the war.
