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

At this point, Da Qingjiao was already on edge, fearing that Lu Xiao would continue to pursue the matter.

Big Green Pepper: We've made up, so unfollow me now, I'm scared.

Lu Xiao: Are you interested in collaborating?

The green pepper remained silent for a long time before finally asking out of curiosity: Why did you choose me? I've already offended you so much.

Lu Xiao: I can see your potential in uncovering news, but you're using the wrong methods. You're like a headless fly, unable to find your way.

Lu Xiao wasn't lying. Although he and Da Qingjiao had some disagreements, it wasn't a serious matter, and it wasn't a matter of life and death.

Just like Zhang Xiu, who was attached to Cao Cao, even though their grudges were much deeper, they were able to reconcile. Lu Xiao saw the talent in Da Qingjiao and wanted to take him under his wing.

With Lu Xiao's modifications, the "Big Green Pepper" account will definitely be successful and will greatly help Lu Xiao's future plans.

The green bell pepper didn't reply.

Lu Xiao didn't plead or beg: "I'll think about it."

Lu Xiao put on his helmet and returned to the game.

The perspective focuses on Lu Congtian.

At this moment, Lu Congtian took the initiative to request an audience with Zhuge Liang, but was refused entry by Zhuge Liang.

Lu Congtian's ruthlessness towards his family signaled to Zhuge Liang that his original intentions remained unchanged.

Zhuge Liang's refusal to meet was a ploy to use the words of Jiangdong's spies to tell that he was still ostracizing Lu Congtian!

Misleading the public!

Lu Congtian was able to understand the teacher's intention.

Upon returning home, he frequently scolded his servants and reprimanded his soldiers.

All of this was reported in detail by Jiangdong's spies planted in Jingzhou to Lu Su, who was guarding Lukou.

Lu Su did not hesitate. Lu Congtian was ostracized because Zhuge Liang doubted his loyalty. He disdained his lowly wife and children, pursued military merits, and worked hard to climb the ranks.

Having already reached the rank of Commandant, Lu Congtian is now even denied a meeting with Zhuge Liang. He must feel that his talents are not being recognized.

In Lu Su's view, if Lu Congtian wanted to rise in rank, the only way was to surrender to Jiangdong!

They were convinced that when they summoned Lu Congtian to acknowledge his ancestors, it was because they had wholeheartedly won him over.

At the same time, Lu Su received a letter from Lu Congtian.

The content tells the story of Lu Congtian's desire to once again join Zhuge Liang's side, but he has no opportunity. He also expresses his urgent desire that Nanjun is now empty, and the prefect Mi Fang only knows how to drink and make merry all day long. This is a golden opportunity.

"Kongming is too wise; how could he give him another chance? As for attacking Jingzhou..."

If Zhuge Liang had truly kept Lu Congtian by his side, Lu Su would have doubted Zhuge Liang's intentions and the authenticity of the information he subsequently transmitted.

However, Lu Su still adhered to the idea of ​​Sun Quan and Liu Bei uniting against Cao Cao and did not begin preparations for war.

But that doesn't mean he'll maintain the relationship between the two families forever.

Lu Su then reported Lu Congtian's situation to Sun Quan, saying that if the two sides were forced to go to war, Lu Congtian could be the key to attacking Jiangling from within and without.

Of course, Jiangling's strategic objectives were certainly not as great as those of Xiangyang.

With Jiangling, it could become a springboard for attacking Xiangyang.

the other side

Jianye

Sun Quan discussed the matter of Jingzhou with Lü Meng.

Lü Meng said, "Now Zhuge Liang is bringing supplies into Jingzhou to support Guan Yu in capturing Nanyang Commandery. If Nanyang Commandery falls into Liu Bei's hands, it will be like a sword hanging over our heads, completely cutting off our westward and northward advance!"

Sun Quan nodded, "I am aware of the advantages and disadvantages involved, but our army suffered a defeat at Hefei..."

Sun Quan was too ashamed to even mention the Battle of Xiaoyao Ford; it was too humiliating!

Lu Meng, not wanting to rub salt in the wound, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Now we should shift our focus to Jingzhou. Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang have just conquered Xinye, and their soldiers are arrogant and complacent, which will surely make them less vigilant towards us. This can provide cover for our army."

Our army will continue its active preparations, feigning weakness to the enemy. Once Cao Cao's main force arrives in Nanyang, our army can use its hidden advantage to capture Jiangling, and then join forces with Cao Cao to attack Xiangyang!

However, although Sun Quan was very interested in Lü Meng's proposal, he still rejected Lü Meng's suggestion to attack Jingzhou at this time.

He was more inclined to side with Lu Su and unite with Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao.

After all, Cao Cao was powerful. Even if Sun Quan succeeded in his sneak attack, the people of Jiangdong would find it difficult to contend with Cao Cao, and defeat was almost foreseeable.

Jingzhou

Zhuge Liang persuaded Guan Yu, who wanted to continue attacking Wancheng, to give up.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages.

"General Guan, if we attack Wancheng, which is defended by Cao Ren, now, it will be difficult to take it for a long time. Moreover, our troops have been lost in Wancheng, and once the defenses of the river weaken, we may be vulnerable to attack from Eastern Wu."

If someone else were to try to persuade you, it definitely wouldn't work.

It was Zhuge Liang who could persuade Guan Yu.

"The Jiangdong brats were routed by eight hundred men, and the garrison at Lukou only has the strength of Lu Zijing. What is there to worry about?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and drank wine, displaying a bold and disdainful attitude.

"General Guan may not know, but our lord has already begun planning to take Hanzhong. I need not say more about the importance of Hanzhong to Yizhou, do I?"

"While we are not afraid of Jiangdong breaking the alliance, if we attack Wancheng simultaneously with our lord's attack on Hanzhong, our casualties will be reduced, and the pressure on our lord will be relieved. Wouldn't that be a better approach?"

Guan Yu accepted Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

Choosing to advance triumphantly at this critical moment, he ordered his soldiers to rest and set up camp for a standoff.

This sudden change of tactics caught Lu Su completely off guard.

Lu Su both hoped that Guan Yu and Cao Ren would be severely injured, and also hoped that Guan Yu would stop fighting so that the two families could continue to live in harmony.

Sun Quan and Lü Meng naturally hoped for a mutually destructive outcome, while Cao Cao's side was already prepared to mobilize a large army to march south to Jingzhou again to deal with Guan Yu's attack.

Guan Yu's sudden halt to the attack immediately disrupted everyone's plans.

The situation suddenly reached a stalemate.

The year is Qingming Festival, 216 AD.

Lu Congtian finally received instructions: kill Fang when the opportunity arises.

The instructions are clear: kill Mi Fang at the right time.

Lu Congtian has recently been stationed in Jiangling, and Mi Fang often invites him to drink together.

Mi Fang had long forgotten about her promise to find Lu Congtian a wealthy woman as his wife. Instead, she herself took several more concubines.

Although Mi Fang indulged in pleasure and squandered money recklessly, Lu Congtian saw nothing unforgivable about her.

That's definitely not the right time.

Lu Congtian and others waited for this opportunity to arise.

May

An explosive piece of news was announced to the world.

Emperor Liu Xie ordered Liu Ai, the Imperial Clan Minister, to bestow upon Cao Cao, the Duke of Wei, the title of King of Wei and concurrently appoint him as Chancellor and Governor of Ji Province.

This can be said to have broken the centuries-old ancestral rule of the Han Dynasty that only those of the Liu family could become kings. Cao Cao's power reached new heights!

Lu Congtian had a premonition that the world would descend into chaos after this year's autumn harvest!

really

No one could have predicted that Cao Cao would be the first to initiate the war.

After the autumn harvest, Cao Cao once again launched an attack on Wu, advancing to Juchao in Lujiang Commandery.

Sun Quan appointed Lü Meng as commander-in-chief, ordering him to lead troops to defend Ruxu Dock, while he himself built a city at Ruxu Port to defend it.

Liu Bei raised the banner of rebellion against Cao Cao, appointed Fa Zheng as his military advisor and Pang Tong to oversee logistics, and led his troops to Hanzhong.

They fought against Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, whom Cao Cao had left to defend Hanzhong.

Meanwhile, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu responded to Jiangdong's plea for help and attacked Wancheng.

Although the alliance is in jeopardy, it has at least not completely broken apart on the surface.

If Guan Yu does not respond to Sun Quan's plea for help, then Guan Yu will be the one to betray his ally.
