Chapter 36

In the Three Kingdoms Plane, Cao Cao had just defeated Lü Bu in Yanzhou, and a defeated Lü Bu was fleeing to Xuzhou, preparing to seek refuge with Liu Bei. At that moment, the sudden appearance of the Three Kingdoms on the Celestial Screen caught the attention of major warlords and heroes alike. "Three Kingdoms? Could this be another dynasty from future generations?" Cao Cao did not send troops to pursue Lü Bu. In his view, valiant though Lü Bu might be, he did not seem all that important in this chaotic era. What worried him was Yuan Shao to the north. Under the pretext of offering help, Yuan Shao had already incorporated Dong Commandery into his own territory. Cao Cao was forced to seize more ground; otherwise, if the commanderies to the south also surrendered en masse to Yuan Shao, he, Cao Cao, truly would have nowhere to stand. After swiftly capturing Dingtao, Cao Cao's very first move was to divide his forces to rapidly pacify the various commanderies and counties. Only then did he get a brief breathing spell, and right on cue, the light screen began broadcasting videos about the Three Kingdoms.
