My game can make money starting from the Three Kingdoms period.

It's fighting!

But it wasn't Liu Bei who helped Sun Quan fight Cao Cao.

Instead, they turned their attention to attacking Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

Zhang Song's elder brother, Zhang Su, fearing that he would be implicated, reported Zhang Song to Liu Zhang, accusing him of being an inside agent for Liu Bei. Enraged, Liu Zhang killed Zhang Song, and Liu Bei completely broke with Liu Zhang.

Mi Fang led his troops to Fucheng to take up residence.

They encountered Liu Zhang's troops outside.

"The enemy outnumbers us and has the upper hand; we should temporarily avoid a direct confrontation!"

But I saw

"Now is the time to make our mark! Brothers, follow me and fight!"

Lu Congtian took the lead, charging out with his hundred men, shields raised.

"Who dares to disobey orders?!" Mi Fang hid behind her bodyguard's shield.

"It is Du Bolu Congtian."

Lu Congtian has followed Mi Fang for two years, but no battles have taken place, so he has not been able to accumulate any military merits and is still only a low-ranking official.

Mi Fang remembered Lu Congtian, a literate military man.

Lu Congtian was unremarkable; he didn't know how to flatter or offer wine to please Mi Fang. Every day, besides training, he would follow orders to cultivate land and carry out missions.

Having not participated in combat for several years, the young soldiers were extremely eager for military merit.

Not to mention the lower-ranking soldiers, even the captains and lieutenants were looking forward to the battle. They hadn't moved from their positions for a long time.

"Dare to disobey orders! Ignore him!"

However, for General Mi Fang, he needed to balance the interests of saving his life and gaining military merit.

Upon seeing that the enemy had a large number of men and that their banners bore the character "Wu," it was clear that the approaching general was Wu Yi, a capable warrior of Liu Zhang.

Mi Fang, realizing she was outmatched, ordered, "Retreat..."

Before Mi Fang could give the order, Lu Congtian had already charged into Wu Yi's army formation on horseback.

"Who is this general? So brave and invincible?" Wu Yi sent his infantry to fight, his eyes showing seriousness.

"I don't recognize him." The deputy general didn't see the newcomer's military flag and couldn't recognize Lu Congtian.

Little did they know that Lu Congtian was merely a minor official and not yet qualified to possess a banner bearing his surname.

The lieutenant suddenly cried out in alarm, "Oh no! He's about to break through! Archers!"

Wu Yi sternly stopped them, "Our soldiers are still fighting; how can we kill them all just because the enemy has broken through our lines?"

Just then, the deputy general beside Mi Fang could no longer contain himself.

He advised Mi Fang, "General, let the brothers go! Lu Congtian has already broken through the enemy's formation. Now our army can take advantage of the enemy's fatigue and confusion to kill them and achieve merit!"

Mi Fang also realized that Lu Congtian had torn open a gap in Wu Yi's army formation, causing Wu Yi's archer troops to lose their advantage.

In addition, their own troops were drawn from Fucheng, unlike Wu Yi's troops who had traveled a long distance to intercept them.

Even with a two-to-one numerical advantage, the chances of winning are still quite good.

Mi Fang immediately drew her sword, pointed it at the enemy ranks, and shouted, "Kill!"

……

Fucheng

Lu Congtian escorted Wu Yi to Mi Fang.

Mi Fang's face was beaming with joy.

This achievement is practically as good as something you got for free.

One can imagine the praise he would receive if he captured Wu Yi and brought him before Liu Bei.

"Lu Congtian, now that you have broken the formation, I will not pursue your crime of disobeying orders."

"Thank you, General." Lu Congtian clasped his hands in thanks, then stepped aside.

Mi Fang looked at Wu Yi, who looked unconvinced.

He was not defeated by Mi Fang, but rather caught off guard by Lu Congtian.

Who knew Lu Congtian would be so reckless and brave? Daring to charge into battle with only a hundred men?

Of course, Wu Yi's troops were also exhausted from their long march, but a loss is a loss.

Just then, Liu Bei, wearing armor, entered.

Mi Fang hurriedly offered his reward, "My lord, on the way to Fuling, I captured Wu Yi, a general under Liu Zhang. Please grant me your punishment!"

Liu Bei glanced at Mi Fang in surprise, knowing all too well what abilities his second brother-in-law possessed.

Moreover, Liu Bei had already received intelligence that Wu Yi led 2,000 troops while Mi Fang's army consisted of only two units with 800 men each. How could 800 men defeat 2,000 and even capture their commander, Wu Yi?

Despite his doubts, Liu Bei still untied Wu Yi from his bonds.

"General Wu, I have offended you greatly. Please have a seat."

Wu Yi twisted his wrist without saying a word.

"The exhaustion of Yizhou is not due to your lack of courage, General, but because Liu Jiyu has lost his way, allowing wolves and jackals to surround him..."

Liu Bei was very skilled at persuading people to surrender.

Lu Congtian listened with great interest.

In the end, Wu Yi submitted.

"Take the general to rest."

Wu Yi stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Liu Bei.

I also clasped my hands in a fist salute to Mi Fang. After all, we'll be colleagues from now on, and we'll see each other all the time, so it's important to be polite. It's just that the time went by a bit too fast.

Finally, he bowed respectfully to Lu Congtian and asked, "May I ask your name, valiant warrior?"

"Du Bo, Lu Congtian."

"Nice to meet you!" Wu Yi greeted them and then followed the soldiers to wash up and rest.

With just one glance, Liu Bei knew that his brother-in-law's credit was largely exaggerated.

"Today, we shall record Zifang's (Mi Fang's courtesy name) great merit. Once Yizhou is pacified, we will discuss and reward those who have made contributions. Congtian, tell us the whole story of today's battle."

Mi Fang suddenly interrupted, "It was on my way to Fu that I encountered Zi Yuan's (Wu Yi's courtesy name) army. I saw that Zi Yuan's morale was low, so I immediately ordered a charge. In the end, Zi Yuan was captured alive by Cong Tian by chance."

"Is that so?"

Lu Congtian really wanted to clarify the facts so that he could claim the credit for the military achievements.

However, this would contradict the ancestor's instruction to "fake follow Mi Fang." After the clarification, Mi Fang would definitely ostracize him.

Accumulating military merits versus falsely following Mi Fang—which is more important? It's self-evident which is more important.

Then Lu Congtian added fuel to the fire, "Indeed, General Mi is wise and brave, and his command was proper. That's how I managed to capture General Ziyuan."

Mi Fang was very satisfied. Who said this kid couldn't flatter? I think he's quite perceptive.

Liu Bei nodded, praised Mi Fang again, gave her instructions for the next steps, and then left to handle other matters.

"Congtian, I never expected you to be so brave. I will secretly bestow upon you a set of armor."

"Thank you, General!"

Mi Fang desperately needs a tough, headstrong young man to take charge.

Lu Congtian performed very well.

Reckless, fierce, foolish, and clumsy.

If we train them further, they'll be able to fight wherever we're told. And if we suffer a defeat, we can shift the blame onto them, saying it was because they disobeyed orders.

Which middle manager wouldn't like such "talent"?

Several days later

Mi Fang once again led his troops to support Liu Bei and Pang Tong's forces in attacking the defensive line composed of Liu Gui, Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, and Deng Xian.

Relying on his armor, Lu Congtian acted as if he were invincible and charged ahead.

This, on the contrary, boosted the morale of the other soldiers under Mi Fang's command.

They were afraid that if they rushed in too late, all the military merits would be snatched away by Lu Congtian's soldiers.

Although Lu Congtian's meager combat strength could not influence the course of the battle, his daring fighting style had unknowingly established him in Mi Fang's army.

After defeating Zhang Ren, Mi Fang grew increasingly fond of Lu Congtian and petitioned to appoint Lu Congtian as a captain, commanding half of Mi Fang's troops.

Liu Bei's army was unstoppable. They then besieged Luo City, which was defended by Liu Gui and Zhang Ren after their retreat.

The current strategist is Pang Tong, who will be in charge of the siege.

"Luocheng is well-fortified and requires a strong assault to test the strength and morale of the troops within. Generals, who dares to lead the charge and claim the credit for being the first to scale the walls?"

The four major military achievements—first to scale the walls, capture the flag, kill in battle, and break through enemy lines—are all achievements that lower-ranking soldiers aspire to.

The officers and captains in the tent were all eager to try, but none of them stepped forward, and Lu Congtian eventually beat them to it.

"Your subordinate is willing to go!"

A sense of foreboding flashed across Pang Tong's eyes.

"Good! If we capture Luocheng, we shall be the greatest contributor!" Pang Tong suppressed his emotions; he desperately needed the spirit of selfless sacrifice embodied by Lu Congtian to boost morale.

However, it was vehemently rejected: "Absolutely not!"
