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

Lu Congtian was simply honest, not stupid.

He knew that Sun Quan had just suffered a defeat and was certainly unable to attack Jingzhou, which is why he revealed such confidential information in order to gain his trust.

Yizhou

Zhuge Liang received letters from Jingzhou, one of which was written to him specifically by Guan Yu.

In his letter, Guan Yu said that he had brought Anu to the capital as instructed by Zhuge Liang.

He also denounced Lu Congtian's actions that day, and said that once he took Nanyang, he would have Zhuge Liang summon Lu Congtian back to give him a good talking-to.

"not good!"

Zhuge Liang summoned Pang Tong and went to see Liu Bei.

"My lord, I request permission to go to Jingzhou to assist General Guan."

Zhuge Liang knew he could persuade Liu Bei to go to Jingzhou to help, but to better dispel Liu Bei's doubts, Zhuge Liang also summoned Pang Tong.

Liu Bei also knew that Guan Yu had already attacked Nanyang Commandery and made considerable progress. Now that he had captured Yuyang, he intended to take Xinye, and the next step was to attack Wancheng, which was guarded by Cao Ren.

If Wancheng is secured, Nanyang County will be under our control!

"Kongming, I see that Yunchang is making good progress, why are you so anxious?"

Then, in front of Pang Tong, he went to the map of Jingzhou and pointed to Nanyang County, saying, "General Guan is now advancing like a whirlwind, capturing Nanyang. However, when our lord returned, he diverted a considerable amount of military supplies from Jingzhou. This means that General Guan's campaign cannot last long."

"Cao Ren was a man of unwavering bravery, as evidenced by his performance in the Battle of Jiangling. Had it not been for an unexpected event, General Guan would have held out for a long time in defending Wancheng."

Liu Bei asked in confusion, "If that's the case, it's already enough that Yun Chang (Guan Yu) was able to take several counties in Nanyang. What does this have to do with Kongming (Zhuge Liang) going to Jingzhou?"

At this moment, Pang Tong interjected, "My lord, Kongming means that Eastern Wu might take this opportunity to cause trouble."

"How could that be?"

"Has my lord forgotten that we just acquired Yizhou and Sun Quan hastily came to demand Jingzhou? If General Guan takes Nanyang, how can Sun Quan hold back? He will surely use the excuse that he has too little territory to try and take Jingzhou from us."

Pang Tong's analysis made Liu Bei nod repeatedly, but he still had doubts. "Didn't Kongming just say that Guan Yu's conquest would be uncertain for a long time? Why would Sun Quan start a rebellion at this time?"

"If General Guan gets bogged down, the rear of Nan Commandery will be left vulnerable, and Jingzhou will be undefended. If our lord were Sun Quan, wouldn't he be tempted to seize this vital strategic point?"

If it were Liu Bei himself, he certainly wouldn't betray his ally. Sun Quan, however, is a different story. Think about how the Xiang River demarcation came about.

"I see!"

Zhuge Liang summoned Pang Tong with the intention of achieving this, and further stated, "Sun Quan has just suffered a defeat at Hefei and seems incapable of fighting again. We cannot guarantee that he will not use this to deceive us, make us careless, and then secretly gather troops to plan another attack."

Liu Bei had already realized the seriousness of the situation.

Guan Yu's seemingly sudden advance actually disrupted the delicate balance of the tripartite balance of power.

With Sun Quan's recent defeat and Guan Yu's victory at the front, Jiangdong, as the weaker party, would inevitably seize the opportunity to gain benefits.

If Sun Quan couldn't win over Cao Cao, then he had no choice but to try and win over Liu Bei.

Alliance? What kind of alliance is there when the benefits are not distributed equally? Sun Quan attacked Hefei, and Liu Bei didn't send a single soldier. What kind of alliance is that?

However, after the Battle of Red Cliffs, half of Jingzhou, which should have belonged to Sun Quan, was taken away by Liu Bei. How could Sun Quan watch Liu Bei grow stronger?

Liu Bei understood everything, and after discussing some details with the two men, he made a decision.

"Let Kongming oversee the logistics in Jingzhou to support Yunchang."

"promise."

They left Liu Bei's residence.

Pang Tong called out to Zhuge Liang, who was about to leave.

"Kongming, I wonder if what you think is the same as what I think?"

Zhuge Liang hesitated, "Please let Shiyuan have a talk on the couch."

"please."

Arrived at Zhuge Liang's courtyard.

The two sat cross-legged on the couch.

"Since we don't know what the other is thinking, why don't we write our thoughts down on a slip of paper and compare them?"

Pang Tong accepted the suggestion and, together with Zhuge Liang, each wrote down their ideas on a bamboo slip.

A little while later.

The two exchanged bamboo slips with smiles on their faces.

Upon opening it, I was struck by the exact same two characters: "分吴" (Fen Wu).

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha..."

"We share similar views."

Zhuge Liang threw the bamboo slips into the fire and laughed, "If General Guan takes Nanyang, Sun Quan will certainly not be able to tolerate our army's momentum to advance into the Central Plains. I predict that he will definitely start another war and plot to seize the four counties of Jingzhou. Since he has repeatedly ignored the alliance agreement, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom."

"Excellent. Kongming, on your journey to Jingzhou, you can first assist General Guan in capturing Nanyang Commandery, and then be wary of a surprise attack from Jiangdong. Once Jiangdong makes its move, I will suggest that you temporarily set aside your hostility towards Cao Cao and first share Jiangdong with him!"

Pang Tong, understanding the unspoken thought, shared his own.

"It would be best if things developed this way. But Shiyuan shouldn't be too hopeful that our lord will ally with Cao Cao. Our lord's current situation is entirely due to his opposition to Cao Cao."

If this were to actually happen, needless to say, Cao Cao would tacitly agree to divide up Jiangdong first.

Pang Tong suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Perhaps we can open up Hanzhong as a battlefield to contain Cao Cao's troops and prevent him from conquering Jiangdong."

Zhuge Liang rejected Pang Tong's idea, saying, "Shi Yuan's plan is too risky. If we truly break with Jiangdong, we will be fighting on two fronts. Cao Cao is already powerful, and if he allies with Sun Quan, our army will surely be defeated! This is a carnivorous tiger; we must feed him a little before we can make any plans with him."

That makes sense.

Thus, the two strategists had reached a general consensus on their plan. The next step was to see if events would unfold as they had anticipated.

"Should I suggest to the lord that we allocate some troops for you?"

Pang Tong had already concluded that Sun Quan would inevitably attack Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, "The troops in Yizhou should still prioritize defending against Cao Cao's army in Hanzhong."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was confident and composed, Pang Tong felt at ease.

How could Pang Tong know that Zhuge Liang held a crucial piece in his hand?

This chess piece is Lu Congtian.

Zhuge Liang had already discerned from Guan Yu's letter complaining about Lu Congtian that Lu Congtian's ruthless behavior would surely earn him the trust of Jiangdong.

At that time, we can use Lu Congtian to deliver a heavy blow to Jiangdong!

……

As Lu Xiao observed the unfolding events, he remarked, "It seems the 'Guan Yu's awe-inspiring reputation throughout China' accusation is about to be brought forward."

"With Zhuge Liang deployed to Jingzhou as a backup, it's uncertain whether they can prevent a backstab from Jiangdong. If they can withstand this attack, the Shu Han dynasty might actually achieve hegemony!"

Remove the helmet.

I checked out the video of the green pepper.

"Wow~ 500,000 views?"

Looking at Lu Xiao's own videos, sure enough, there are many paid trolls hired by various companies who have been directed to Lu Xiao's videos to smear him, throw dirty water, and clamor for him to leave the internet.

These manufacturers are having a tough time.

Originally, I made a low-cost, quick-fix game with gacha mechanics and the ability to stomp on stones and milk, hoping to make a quick buck. But then I met Lu Xiao, a blogger who tells the truth.

This is cutting off their source of income.

As the popularity of "The Family" continues to rise, it has utterly crushed the daily active users and revenue of many game companies.

The saying goes that cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. In addition, Lu Xiao deliberately showed his face after thinking he couldn't make a living from the internet. It would be abnormal if he wasn't doxxed.

Therefore, Lu Xiao's registered residence area received a threatening letter.
