I recommend the book "The Military Advisor of the Commoners of the Three Kingdoms" to you. The protagonist is Chen Qing, a commoner who traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He assisted Liu Bei and Sun Ce, gathering all the wise and brave generals for their troops, and finally unified the Han Dynasty. Although the main character is not Yuan Shu's military advisor, this book involves historical events and figures such as the alliance and Yuan Shao. I believe you will also like it. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

Yuan Shu (155 - 202 years) was a politician and military strategist of Wu and Shu during the Bozhou City Kingdoms period. Yuan Shu was one of the allies of Cao Cao's important general, Lu Bu, and was also one of the biggest warlords during the Three Kingdoms period. He was known as "Yuan Tiangang" and called himself "Tiangang Great Sage". He had a huge army and wealth, and played an important role in the world situation at that time. In politics, Yuan Shu implemented the policy of "Three Absolutes", namely,"Enfeoffment of a country, a peerless beauty, and a peerless hero", in an attempt to establish "Three Absolutes" to consolidate his ruling position. In terms of military affairs, Yuan Shu conquered Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou and other places and called himself the "King of Wu". He also attacked Yizhou and Shu. However, Yuan Shu's military strength and organizational form were relatively loose, and he lacked effective command and management capabilities. This led to frequent civil strife in his army, and he often fought with other countries, which constantly challenged his ruling position. In the end, he died of illness in 202 AD at the age of 68.
There was some inconsistent information about the ranking of military strategists during the Three Kingdoms period. Some documents believed that Guo Jia was the most outstanding military strategist in history, while Zhuge Liang was considered one of the most outstanding military strategists under Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period. However, there were also other documents that ranked Zhuge Liang second or sixth. Due to the conflicting search results provided, it was impossible to determine the exact ranking of military strategists. Therefore, based on the information provided, it was impossible to give an accurate answer to the ranking of the military strategists of the three countries.
The title of the strongest military advisor during the Three Kingdoms period was usually held the highest by Zhuge Liang of Shu Han and Zhou Yu of Dong Wu. Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's military advisor. His strategy of "confronting the enemy in the middle of the dragon" made Liu Bei very successful during the Three Kingdoms period. Zhou Yu was the military advisor of Dongwu. His Battle of Red Cliff became one of the most famous battles in Chinese history. He also mentioned that the story of Zhou Yu beating up the yellow canopy had become one of the most famous plots in Chinese history. These two military strategists had shown extraordinary wisdom in the war and were regarded as the representatives of the strongest military strategists during the Three Kingdoms period.
