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

It was Liu Bei who rejected Lu Congtian's request to be the vanguard.

Lu Congshan, for the sake of Liu Bei's great cause, did not hesitate to bear the infamy and personally enter the game.

Although Lu Congtian was brave, swords have no eyes. The vanguard suffered heavy casualties. How could he just watch Lu Congtian die?

"My lord! Let me go!"

Liu Bei raised his hand to interrupt, looking at Pang Tong, "Strategist, our army now controls the supply lines to Luocheng. I believe we cannot attack Luocheng by force; we should focus on siege and use persuasion as a secondary measure. Once the city runs out of food, Luocheng will fall on its own."

The plans for the invasion of Shu were almost entirely prepared by Pang Tong.

While Liu Bei appeared to be making a rational analysis, Pang Tong could sense that Liu Bei was negating his aggressive attack plan because of this young man.

Pang Tong, of course, would not go against Liu Bei's wishes. Instead, he readily agreed, saying, "Excellent, my lord's strategy of encirclement is indeed superb."

Next, Pang Tong made specific arrangements.

Lu Congtian was transferred to Pang Tong's command, which seemed like a reasonable transfer, but in fact, Pang Tong had some selfish motives.

Pang Tong joined Liu Bei's camp as an official in Nan Commandery after Zhou Yu's death.

Originally dismissed from office for inaction, Pang Tong was appointed as a military advisor by Liu Bei only after Zhuge Liang praised his great talent.

Pang Tong was the nephew of Pang Degong. When Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong, Pang Tong often visited his thatched cottage.

He naturally knew the two brothers, Lu Congshan and Lu Congtian, who were also his companions in his studies.

Lu Congtian's volunteering earlier had quite frightened Pang Tong.

However, he couldn't refuse Lu Congtian's request to fight in front of all the generals, as it would affect morale.

Fortunately, Liu Bei did not want Lu Congtian to suffer losses in vain, so the two of them worked together to change the best strategy of a strong attack and probing.

"I've heard about what happened in the fields and the mountains. You can't be so careless with your life."

Pang Tong and Lu Congtian rode horses around Luocheng to investigate.

Pang Tong's meaning was similar to what Zhuge Liang had said before; he was intentionally protecting him.

The battlefield is so vast, and people are dying everywhere. One more Lu Congtian won't make a difference, and one less Lu Congtian won't make a difference either.

Otherwise, wouldn't Lu Congshan have died in vain?

Lu Congtian clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Strategist, please do not show me any special favors because of my brother's matter."

Lu Congtian didn't want to live under his younger brother's protection and in his shadow.

He's the older brother! He's the one who should be protecting!

Pang Tong, sensing Lu Congtian's thoughts, said, "You want to prove yourself, that's excellent. However, swords have no eyes, how can I betray Congshan's last wish?"

At this point, Pang Tong was treating Lu Congtian equally.

They did not act superior or arrogant because Lu Congtian was a commoner.

Lu Congtian did not reply.

Despite his apparent compromise, he had his own reasons for doing so.

For generals commanding battles, the most difficult situation is often not encountering a sudden change of command in the field, but rather, attacking a city.

The defending forces had high walls and strong fortifications, as well as the advantage of being in a high position.

Now Liu Bei's army is the attacking force, and because it is a sudden attack on Liu Zhang, there has been no time to construct siege equipment.

Luocheng covers a vast area, and Liu Bei's current forces are insufficient to surround the city.

If all four gates are surrounded, the troops will be weak and will inevitably be defeated by the defending army.

Pang Tong understood this principle, so he stationed troops at three gates and left one gate undefended, thus gathering forces while giving the defenders inside the city a way out.

At least it seems like a way out.

Furthermore, since Liu Zhang did not order a scorched-earth policy, Pang Tong could send soldiers to cut down trees and gather materials locally to build siege weapons.

They constantly put psychological pressure on the city's defenders, conveying the message that once the weapons were completed, those who refused to surrender would face certain death.

If you surround the enemy on three sides and then leave them exposed, there is a possibility that the soldiers will mutini and try to escape.

With this arrangement, you can start cooking.

Taking over a city is no easy task.

For them, it was commonplace to spend several months or even a year attacking a project.

If the commander is determined and manages his troops well, he can hold out until food runs out and then slaughter his warhorses for food, which could potentially last for two or three years.

Just like when Sun Ce attacked Shuxian, which was guarded by Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang and father of Lu Ji, Lu Kang held out fiercely for two years. Even though hundreds of members of the Lu clan starved to death, there was no internal rebellion and no opening of the gates to meet the enemy.

Time came to 214.

Lu Congshan's wings, which he transformed into a butterfly years ago, have completely rewritten history this year.

Liu Bei wanted to speed up the process of taking Jingzhou, so he transferred Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to Shu.

There was also Zhuge Liang in history.

However, at this moment, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu led hundreds of warships, their swords pointing straight at Xiangyang!

Historically speaking, with Yue Jin guarding Xiangyang, Liu Bei would have had no chance.

From the moment Lu Congshan surrendered to Cao Cao in Jingzhou, he risked his life to preserve most of Liu Bei's wealth, enabling Zhuge Liang to have more resources and manpower to develop production.

After six years of preparation, Zhuge Liang had accumulated enough resources to launch an attack on Xiangyang!

This was something Le Jin had not anticipated.

According to Le Jin, Liu Bei was engaged in fierce fighting in Shu and had also transferred Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei's troops to Shu. He had become complacent and did not believe that Liu Bei's army would attack Xiangyang at this time.

Not only was Yue Jin caught off guard, but even Liu Bei was completely bewildered.

Liu Bei did summon Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang also made his move, but he and Guan Yu launched a surprise attack directly towards Xiangyang.

They also joined forces with the barbarian tribes in the mountains and valleys of various prefectures, and besieged Yue Jin from the upper and lower reaches of the Han River.

Zhuge Liang ordered the barbarians to harass the counties surrounding Xiangyang in batches, cutting off Cao Cao's army's supply lines.

Guan Yu used small groups of troops to harass the defenses of Xiangyang day and night, keeping the defenders busy.

In this battle, Zhuge Liang deployed more than 20,000 troops, twice the size of Yue Jin's defending army.

Le Jin was not flustered. Xiangfan City was known as the backbone of the world for a reason. Although it was not reinforced to the height it was when it could withstand the Mongol army for several years, it could easily withstand 20,000 soldiers.

Without an inside accomplice, taking Xiangyang? A pipe dream!

Le Jin only needs to hold his ground and wait for reinforcements to arrive before launching a counterattack.

Reinforcements have arrived.

The one who came was Wen Ping, a former general under Liu Biao, who was later appointed by Cao Cao as the governor of Jiangxia.

However, Wen Ping's support wasn't for Yue Jin, but for Zhuge Liang...

the other side

After the siege equipment was completed, Pang Tong ordered a harassing attack on Luo City.

Lu Congtian couldn't wait any longer, "Kill!"

The view suddenly narrowed, and on the top of the Luocheng wall, archers' arrows were already aimed at the soldiers who were gathering to attack the city.

……

Lu Xiao took off his helmet.

"Will Shu Han truly succeed this time?"

Lu Xiao's confusion was mixed with excitement.

As the game progresses, Zhuge Liang has captured Xiangyang ahead of schedule, thus gaining control of Jingzhou's vital strategic location.

In Luocheng, Lu Congtian's outstanding performance in battle allowed him to replace Pang Tong, who was leading the attack on Luocheng, so that Pang Tong could command from the rear.

Phoenix Chick, you're not dead!

Lu Congtian fired an arrow, but thanks to the armor that Mi Fang had secretly bestowed upon him, he was protected from the incoming arrow and only suffered minor injuries.

Pang Tong is still alive, and Xiangyang is in our hands. The situation is extremely favorable.

In fact, Lu Xiao's original plan was to rely on Liu Bei's camp, which was easier to survive in, and to develop his resources and make money.

His ultimate goal was to make money through settlement.

This situation is now starting to contradict Lu Xiao's goals.

Reviving the Han Dynasty, or making money?
