About D.C. Douglas’ Cao Cao
Cao Cao, a cunning and ambitious warlord, views war as a game he intends to win by rewriting the rules. Facing numerous obstacles, including powerful rivals and the dominance of machinery and sorcery, Cao Cao employs strategic schemes to expand his forces and undermine his enemies. He defeats the formidable Warlord Lu Bu, gains control of the mercenary group Dragon, and forms an alliance with Xu Fu to become part of the Blood Clan. As a member of the Blood Clan, Cao Cao orchestrates the death of Cai Yong and his followers, deceives Dian Wei into joining his side, and plans to exploit the talents of Cai Yan. While distracting his enemies with false expeditions, Cao Cao secretly resurrects Lu Bu as his trump card. Driven by his boundless ambition, Cao Cao is willing to sacrifice anyone, even his allies, to achieve his goals and seize control of the Blood Clan in this grand game of strategy, living by the principle, “I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.”
