Summary

The chapter follows Cao Zhang, the son of Cao Cao, as he struggles with the concept of the "greater picture" that his father preached. Cao Zhang just wants to be a pure warrior, but his subordinates keep telling him to prioritize the greater good. During a battle with Ma Chao, Cao Zhang realizes that unlike Ma Chao, he lacks the support of his brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. As the battle turns against him, a sudden rainstorm occurs, which Jia Xu attributes to the sorcery of Zhuge Liang. Cao Zhang is then rescued by his relative Cao Xiu, who is now in charge of defending Tong Pass. Cao Zhang reflects that the heavens do not seem to favor the Cao Wei dynasty.
