Year 197.
Two years later.
When Cao Cao's army arrived at Bowang City, Zhang Xiu surrendered and the world was shocked.
Cao Cao, who had taken down Wan City without expending a single soldier, was in high spirits. He placed Zhang Xiu in an important position and ordered him to continue to command the 10,000 Xiliang soldiers under his command and guard Wan City.
After 20 days, the Cao Camp troops were all in a state of disarray, all of them rejoicing in their victory.
Outside Wan City.
The Cao army was stationed at the camp.
In a simple tent in the Yujin Military Camp.
"Counting the time, Zhang Xiu's rebellion will be in these two days.”
Su Ran murmured softly as she looked at the simple map of Wan City.
Two years ago, he was still a graduate student in the Department of Archeology at a university. In the end, he suddenly fainted while doing his homework in an ancient tomb. When he woke up, everything around him had changed.
It was also at that time that the most powerful lottery system was awakened, and he drew Han Xin's template at the beginning.
Su Ran had thought that he would be able to conquer the world soon, but he did not expect that he would be reborn at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the world was in chaos.
At this moment, the entire world was ruled by the aristocratic families.
And his identity was just a poor child of a declining aristocratic family in Yanzhou.
No background, no money.
Su Ran, who was familiar with history, knew very well that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was difficult for people from poor families to stand out.
In order to seek fame, Su Ran sold her family property and planned to go to Yingchuan Academy to study, but she was rejected. Later, by chance, she exhausted her family's wealth and was able to enter the Water Mirror Manor to study.
A year later, he wanted Mister Shui Jing to write a recommendation letter, but he offended the Huang and Zhuge families of Xiangyang because of his private engagement with Huang Yueying.
Sima Wei was affected by this and only wrote four words after Su Ran's comment: It can't be used.
Later, it was borrowed by the famous scholar Xu Shao and quoted in the last month's review.
"Su Ran, from Yanzhou, from a declining Humble Class. Her name is Yi 'an. She has no knowledge and is not well-educated.”
After he finished writing, Xu Shao passed away!
From then on, Su Ran became the laughingstock of the world.
At that time, Su Ran was filled with resentment towards the aristocratic families monopolizing knowledge and making arbitrary judgments.
He swore that one day, he would destroy the foundation of all the aristocratic families in the world and create a prosperous era for the Humble Class!
After leaving the Shui Jing Manor in anger, Su Ran planned to go north to choose a new master.
On the way, he met Taishi Ci, who was in the same boat as him. The two of them regretted not meeting each other earlier and became bosom friends. He then used his talent to convince Taishi Ci and agreed to meet again in the future.
Later, Taishi Ci recommended him.
Su Ran went to join Liu Bei, the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness who ruled Xuzhou at that time. She wanted to use Liu Bei to fulfill her ambition!
However, due to Sima Wei and Xu Shao's comments, as well as their advice to guard against Lu Bu, Zhang Fei was forbidden to garrison Xuzhou and suffered from Zhang Fei's disdainful eyes.
He was also ostracized by Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and the other aristocratic families!
Therefore, Liu Bei gave him a sinecure.
Zhang Fei coldly chased him away.
He could only leave behind a letter while Liu Bei was unaware and leave helplessly.
He was laughed at by all the scholars of Xuzhou!
But Su Ran wasn't depressed.
It was better to rely on oneself than to ask for help!
Relying on his understanding of history, he was very clear that the one who would seize the world in the future would be the Cao family.
He tried to see Cao Cao, but he was still rejected by the guards.
In this era, if one didn't have a reputation for talent, didn't have the recommendation of a famous person, and didn't come from an aristocratic family, it could be said that one couldn't move an inch.
He didn't meet Cao Cao just like those novels.
He had been in Xuchang for many days and found out that Cao Cao rarely left Sikong Manor. Even if he did, he would be accompanied by a group of guards.
He would be glared at by the guards even if he took a glance at them, let alone approach them.
Why?
This was because after Cao Cao welcomed the Emperor back to Xuchang, he did not follow the rules of the court to support the Emperor. Instead, he imprisoned the Emperor in the palace.
He acted in the name of the emperor.
This is to obey the emperor's order not to be a minister.
However, the emperor was young, but the officials were not stupid.
Naturally, he could see through Cao Cao's true intentions.
Now that Cao Cao had just taken over Yanzhou and Yuzhou, his rule wasn't stable. The only reason he was able to hold on to his territory was because of the Qingzhou soldiers that he had taken in a few years ago.
Cao Cao's influence in Xu Capital might not be comparable to these officials from the various aristocratic families.
Therefore, during the time he had been here, he had heard about seven or eight assassination attempts on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao usually did not go out and would always be accompanied by guards.
Helpless, Su Ran could only settle for the next best thing. He entered Cao Cao's camp as an ordinary citizen. After a round of selection, he was finally promoted to the position of Count Du under Yu Jin, with a hundred cavalrymen under his command.
After three months of demonic training, the combat power of the hundred cavalrymen had increased greatly. The key was that Su Ran had taught them formations and they were very good at charging and killing enemies.
In fact, he had even taken first place in several Imperial Army competitions.
He was also highly regarded by Yu Jin. Although he was still an Earl of the Capital, he was appointed by Yu Jin to lead the personal guards, and the number of cavalrymen under him increased from one hundred to five hundred.
According to Yu Jin, as long as he made a contribution, he would be promoted immediately.
However, Su Ran was not satisfied with the position of a mere Uncle Du or a low-level general. If he wanted to do it, he would have to learn from Han Xin and become the Grand Marshal of Cao Cao's army.
He controlled the army and shook the world!
Therefore, from the moment he joined Cao Cao's camp, he had been planning.
He wanted to make use of Cao Cao's defeat in Wan City to save Cao Cao and the others.
The grace of saving his life was heavier than Mount Tai.
With Cao Cao's character, he would definitely not treat him badly.
This way, he could enter Cao camp with kindness and gain a foothold in Cao camp as a Humble Class Scholar.
Retracting her thoughts, Su Ran's consciousness sank into her mind.
"Open the personal panel."
Name: Su Ran, also known as Yi 'an
[Strength: 83]
Commander: 101
Political Affairs: 80
[Intelligence: 85]
[Charm: 100]
[Talent: The more, the better (The more soldiers, the stronger the combat strength)]
[Points required for the lucky draw: 933/1000]
Honor Points.
As the name suggested, it could be obtained through fame.
Fame could be obtained in many ways. One could be promoted to a higher position, receive praise, or shock others.
Ever since he had transmigrated, he had spent half a year hiding in Cao Cao's camp. Although he kept a low profile, he had obtained 933 Honor Points through various methods.
He was only 67 points away from drawing again.
I wonder what I'll get next?
Su Ran's gaze fell on the column of the commander.
A commander with a rank of 101 was very eye-catching, and it directly made him one of the top commanders in the world. Coupled with Han Xin's special talent, as long as he had enough soldiers, he could directly drive Yuan Shao out of Jizhou.
Of course, all of this was just a dream.
He only had 500 cavalrymen under his command. He was still far from commanding an army of 10,000, 100,000, or even a million.
Dong dong dong!
Just as Su Ran's imagination was running wild, a war drum suddenly sounded in the army. It was the order for the entire army to gather.
Su Ran didn't dare to delay and immediately led his 500 cavalry to the drill ground.
An hour later.
In the Drill Ground.
Yu Jin stood on the high platform with his sword in hand. His eyes were cold as he stared at the 5,000 personal guards below.
Two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry.
He looked around and when his gaze landed on Su Ran, he nodded slightly and smiled.
This person was a valiant general that he had recently discovered. He knew how to train soldiers and was also good at strategy. That was why he had made an exception and appointed him to lead the army, using the position of Count Du to lead five hundred cavalry.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give Su Ran a higher military position, but he was strict in his management of the army and rewarded those who had made contributions. Although Su Ran was capable, she didn't have any military achievements, so the military position was temporarily put on hold.
"Tonight, Zhang Xiu will be hosting a banquet in Wan City for the lord. The entire camp will be celebrating, and my army will be in charge of patrolling.”
After Yu Jin finished speaking, his gaze fell on Su Ran.
"Su Ran, lead your troops into the city and patrol it day and night.”
"Thank you, General." Su Ran immediately cupped her hands.”
He knew that Yu Jin was giving him a chance.
As long as there were no accidents during tonight's patrol, it would be considered a small achievement. At that time, Yu Jin would have a reason to promote him.
Yu Jin had treated him well, and he would remember this favor.
Su Ran left the drill ground with 500 cavalrymen and headed straight for Wan City.
After Cao Cao took down Wan City, Zhang Xiu still led the troops to defend it. However, Cao Cao was not stupid. He also asked Xiahou Dun to send more Qingzhou soldiers to help defend.
Now that the city gates were wide open, the Cao army and the Western Liang army were at ease. It was a peaceful scene.
However, Su Ran knew very well that this peace would soon be broken.
At that time, blood would flow like a river.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of warning Cao Cao in advance.
However, he had no evidence, so Cao Cao might not believe him.
Secondly, if he had informed Cao Cao in advance, he would have lost this huge contribution.
He might as well pretend not to know and wait for the battle to begin.
Su Ran wore the armor of the Cao army. After showing his waist token, he easily entered the city.
……
PS: The protagonist was despised by scholars and princes because of the monthly review.
"Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wu, Biography of Taishi Ci"? Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, was in the same county as Liu Ci. Liu Ci returned from Liaodong and did not meet him. He temporarily crossed the Yangtze River to Qua to see Liu Yao. Before he left, Sun Ce arrived. Someone advised Liu Yao to appoint Liu Ci as a general. Liu Yao said: "If I used Ziyi, wouldn't Master Xu laugh at me?”
At that time, Taishi Ci was already very famous, but he was still not put in an important position by Liu Yao.
From this, it could be seen how difficult it was for a poor family to become an official at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
