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

At this time, under the command of the squad leader and platoon leader, the soldiers from Jiangdong gradually calmed their panic, extinguished the flames, and rescued their comrades who had fallen into the water.

Lu Xun's remaining forces still had the strength to fight, but their warships had been burned and their morale was low. Once the Jingzhou navy arrived, defeat was only a matter of time.

"After I die, you may leave on your own," Lu Xun said to his guards.

Most of the bodyguards were recruited from the Lu family.

"Brother, you mustn't!"

Someone pointed at Lu Congtian and angrily cursed, "He's just a lowly commoner! Cousin, don't be misled by him!"

"Yes, as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope for a future resurgence!"

"I believe our lord will be able to see the truth clearly and will not hold my cousin accountable for his failure!"

Lu Xun raised his hand, "My mind is made up; I will prove my name with my death."

Then he turned to look at Lu Congtian, bowed deeply to him, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle."

The soldiers who followed Lu Congtian onto the ship were all stunned.

How could a few words lead to the death of the enemy's commander?

Can you do this?

"Actually, Boyan still has a chance to redeem himself through meritorious service," Lu Congtian changed the subject again.

Lu Xun looked up at Lu Congtian.

Lu Congtian explained, "Boyan can feign defeat and flee into Yizhou to join forces with Lü Meng. When our army pursues us, Boyan can coordinate an attack from within..."

Wait a minute, why does this scheme seem so familiar?

Isn't this just swapping the positions of Lu Congtian and Lu Xun?

"Does your uncle want me to be an inside man?"

"That's right. At the same time, all of you relatives can rush back to Wu County and move your families there. After we defeat Lü Meng, Boyan can declare that we are avenging past grievances. In this way, we can gain the trust of our lord and wash away the shame of our ancestors, achieving the best of both worlds."

Upon hearing this, Lu's personal guards were no longer calm.

"This is truly a win-win solution!"

"Brother Boyan, please say yes!"

"Uncle Lu Kang must have been eagerly anticipating this opportunity!"

Protecting the safety of family members and eliminating worries, while turning others' ridicule into enduring humiliation, wouldn't people praise the Lu family of Wu County for their perseverance and hardship?

In this way, the family's shame can be completely washed away.

It won't jeopardize anyone's future.

After all, what difference does serving someone make? Is it really worth spending your whole life suffering under your enemy's thumb, being cursed and gossiped about behind your back?

These members of the Lu clan all had relatives who died during Sun Ce's attack on Shu County, and now they were working for their enemy, which made them extremely resentful.

Lu Congtian merely reopened their wounds and amplified their sense of shame.

In an instant, everyone turned against each other, eager to take revenge.

Lu Xun immediately kowtowed deeply to Lu Congtian, saying, "I am despicable and shameless, but thanks to your guidance, I have finally seen the light. I will follow your advice, wipe away this shame, and restore the reputation of the Lu family!"

"To wipe away this shame and vindicate the Lu family!"

……

Gangneung

Guan Yu led his troops to join Zhuge Liang.

To Guan Yu's surprise, Lu Congtian was standing unharmed beside Zhuge Liang.

Guan Yu dismounted, and just as he was about to offer a salute with his hand holding the whip, he dropped the whip and bowed solemnly.

"I am truly ashamed of my actions towards Tian Zhongyi. His many acts of distrust in the past forced him to suffer injustice, and I..." Guan Yu's face was filled with remorse.

The facts are now clear: the crushing defeat of Lu Xun's navy and the subsequent opportunity to retreat prove that Lu Congtian, like Lu Congshan, never harbored any disloyal intentions.

While feeling remorseful and ashamed, Guan Yu had developed a greater respect for this young man.

Ten years! A full ten years of forbearance!

There are very few people in this era whom Guan Yu can respect!

Lu Congtian quickly helped him up, saying, "General Guan, there's no need to blame yourself. What's wrong with a subordinate making a sacrifice for the greater cause of our lord?"

Zhuge Liang, who was standing nearby, was very pleased that Lu Congtian had survived the battle.

Not only did they survive, they also exceeded their mission objectives.

"General, you may not know that Cong Tian not only defeated Lu Boyan, but also turned Lu Boyan against him."

"Turning them to defect?!" Guan Yu exclaimed in disbelief.

Guan Yu was impatient. "Tell me quickly!"

Lu Congtian suddenly jolted and stared blankly in one direction.

Turning his head, he saw Anu and her son, who had followed Guan Yu's troops into the city.

Unbeknownst to them, their son Lu Qian had already grasped the small knife he had sharpened, hidden in his sleeve.

This is a chance to vent my anger for my mother!

"Anu~"

Lu Congtian muttered to himself, realizing he no longer needed to pretend and let all his emotions show on his face.

With just a soft exclamation, Anu was certain of everything.

She was right; her husband had his reasons.

Lu Congtian was tormented by longing for ten years, and so was Anu.

Relatively speaking, Anu was the one who suffered the most.

Day and night, the scene of her husband heartlessly abandoning her haunts her.

If Anu hadn't been so determined to find Lu Congtian and confront him one day, an ordinary person would probably have gone insane or given up on themselves, neglecting their children.

There was an upcoming encounter, but Anu had already resolved to die.

However, Lu Congtian's look comforted Anu and gave her the will to live again.

Today, as I followed Guan Yu out of Fancheng, I saw that Lu Congtian had returned to his usual gentle self.

Anu could no longer contain her emotions and rushed towards him.

Seeing this, young Lu Qian felt that his mother was going to kill that unfaithful man.

So, Lu Qian drew his short blade, his anger suppressing his reason, and charged forward.

Ouch~

The crowd was drawn by the sound.

The short blade lay scattered to the side, and Lu Qian, in pain, squatted down on the ground, groaning in pain.

Turning her head to look at someone, she lifted Lu Qian off the ground, her childish voice tinged with disdain, "You've wasted your education! You have no sense of propriety at all!"

It was she who knocked Lu Qian's knife away with the thin twig in her hand just now.

Anu was already used to this. She stared intently at Lu Congtian, demanding an answer, "It was all a lie, wasn't it?"

If he said yes, he'd get beaten. If he said no, he'd get stabbed. Lu Congtian didn't know how to answer.

Seeing Guan Yu immediately step forward, he said, "Madam, please calm down. What Congtian did before was all to arrange for me to be a spy. All his choices were made out of necessity and are not valid. This is why you and your husband have been separated for ten years. When we return to Yizhou, I will ask the lord to reward Congtian and you."

Anu's eyes were red-rimmed, her lips trembled, and her gaze never left Lu Congtian's eyes, as if she were firmly saying: I knew it would be like this!

"I'm sorry to have upset you, Madam." Lu Congtian smiled.

Being able to live and clear up the misunderstanding with his wife made Lu Congtian feel that his life had been worthwhile.

Feigning surrender and launching a fire attack already carried a slim chance of survival. Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Congtian climbed aboard Lu Xun's large ship, risking everything to persuade Lu Xun to defect.

If Lu Congtian is not careful, his fate will be death.

Before feigning surrender, Lu Congtian left a will, asking his mentor to pass it on to Anu. If Lu Congtian died, his mentor would explain the reason to Anu.

Now that Guan Yu, the supreme commander, has stepped forward and said that it was all his arrangement, all the misunderstandings have been cleared up.

Anu would not blame her.

Years of grievances have all been transformed into pride and glory.

He lightly punched Lu Congtian in the chest, "You're lucky to be alive."

Ten years of hardship and grievances, all forgotten with a smile.

Lu Congtian smiled, then turned to his children, "Our daughter is a bit unusual..."
