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

Autumn 219

Liu Bei heeded the advice and ascended to the throne as king.

All the officers and generals were promoted.

Lu Congtian was also properly resettled.

Zhuge Liang transferred Lu Congtian to Chengdu as the Chengdu Clerk, to assist the Minister Liu Ba in handling the selection, assessment, appointment, dismissal, promotion and demotion of civil officials.

This was because Zhuge Liang considered Lu Congtian's limited mobility, so he specially chose the position of office clerk.

Moreover, Chengdu is in the rear, making it almost impossible for war to break out there.

If there is war in Chengdu, then the country will be destroyed.

Lu Congtian was separated from his wife and children again.

This time it's not a matter of life and death. We can reunite anytime we have free time.

Lu Congtian could have taken his wife and children back to Chengdu.

However, Lu Congtian did not want to jeopardize his children's future, so he had no choice but to leave them in Jingzhou.

The couple couldn't bear to leave their children alone, so they had to let Anu continue to manage their small home in Jiangling.

The mood was somewhat low due to the separation.

Lu Congtian took his sword. "An Sheng, watch closely! Retreat out of my attack range!"

Lu Ansheng was pleasantly surprised. His gaze swept over Lu Congtian's arm span, then he observed the sword blade, and took a few steps back.

With a whoosh, the iron sword was drawn, pointing directly at Lu Ansheng.

"Watch out!" Anu exclaimed.

But the tip of the sword was only three inches away from Lu Ansheng's nose.

The iron sword was sheathed. "This sword is yours."

"Thank you, Father!" Lu Ansheng was overjoyed, holding the iron sword with great affection.

She was born with no resistance to this weapon.

He breathed on it, wiped it clean, and looked at his reflection on the sword. Thinking of how this sword had accompanied his father into battle, fighting against the enemy in Jing and Yi, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

"An Sheng, if I hear you causing trouble again, I'll confiscate this sword!"

"Don't worry, Father! An Sheng will definitely be good!"

Why is it so hard to believe that?

Lu Qian, standing to the side, looked disgusted. Well, it's her turn to be the boss from now on.

Yu Sheng was the best; she kept calling him "brother" and pestered Lu Qian to teach her to read, and together they studied articles and deduced the state of the world.

This is the sister Lu Qian wanted.

After several months of getting to know each other, Lu Yusheng gradually integrated into this little family.

She has been adopted by Lu Congtian and has become his youngest daughter.

Lu Ansheng gradually lowered her guard against Lu Yusheng. After all, they were related by blood, and they even looked somewhat alike, so it was hard not to get close to each other.

"Qian'er, you must be humble when following your teacher. If you can learn even a fraction of his skills, you will be able to stand out from the crowd."

"I will follow my father's teachings."

"Don't forget the family rules, be filial to your mother, don't be harsh on your tenants, and if you encounter any unresolved matters, you can consult your elder brother Boyan..."

Lu Congtian is already grooming Lu Qian to be the pillar of the family.

Now, the Lu family has been rewarded with land, houses, gold, silver, and silk for their merits, and has escaped the plight of ordinary people who had to farm to make a living.

Lu Qian, having heard Lu Congtian nag like this countless times, said impatiently, "I know, son."

Lu Congtian smiled with relief and then looked at Anu.

But it was Anu who spoke first, "If you weren't unable to get up, I, as your wife, would definitely arrange for you to take a concubine and then accompany you to Chengdu."

"Madam, you're teasing me again," Lu Congtian coughed.

The couple smiled at each other, seeing the reluctance in each other's hearts.

"Why doesn't Father talk to me..." Lu Yusheng looked dejected and felt like an outsider.

Lu Congtian smiled and beckoned Lu Yusheng to his side. "Yusheng, it's mainly because you're too perfect that your father is so at ease with you. Unlike your older brother and sister, who are always a worry."

"Father is wrong. I'm not the one who's causing trouble." Lu Qian quietly took a step back.

Lu Ansheng slowly came to his senses, "Lu Gonghe! Take this!"

"Yu Sheng, protect me!"

"Sister, be careful not to hurt brother!"

The sadness of separation was dispelled by the playful antics of the children.

Saying goodbye to Anu.

Lu Congtian embarked on his official career.

You can travel directly to Chengdu by waterway along the Yangtze River, with escorts and help provided along the way.

Ten days later.

They were settled in Chengdu.

Lu Congtian then heard the news from Jingzhou.

Liu Bei, with Guan Yu as commander-in-chief, launched an offensive against Nanyang Commandery, thus initiating a war against Cao Cao!

Furthermore, Liu Bei ignored Sun Quan's attempts to make peace.

Lu Congtian was frightened by Liu Bei's decision.

My lord is going to take on Cao Cao and Sun Quan single-handedly!

That's truly impressive!

In fact, this was a dilemma that Liu Bei had to face.

Jiangdong is now teetering on the brink of collapse, and has even surrendered to Cao Cao. Even if Liu Bei and Sun Quan reconcile, there is no guarantee that Sun Quan will not betray his ally once he has had a chance to recover.

Alliance? Alliance my ass!

As for initiating a war against Cao Cao, that was inevitable.

Liu Bei's achievements, including his title of King of Hanzhong, were all built on opposing Cao Cao.

Liu Bei then followed the advice of Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong and others, and decided to set aside Jiangdong for the time being, leaving troops at Lukou to prevent a surprise attack from Jiangdong, while focusing all his efforts on attacking Cao Cao.

Chengdu, as the rear base of Liu Bei's group, was secretly a place of turmoil.

Lu Congtian noticed that his superior, Liu Ba, was respectful, quiet, and taciturn, but was very indifferent to him.

Liu Ba wouldn't talk to him much unless it was for official business.

Lu Congtian was very confused by his poor relationship with his superior.

Today, Lu Congtian received an invitation from Wu Yi.

Arrive at Wu Yi's residence.

The Wu mansion was spacious, with rows of servants and maids, and its wealthy appearance made Lu Congtian envious.

"Lord Lu!" Wu Yi greeted him at the gate of the mansion.

"General Ziyuan!" Lu Congtian cupped his hands in greeting. "I apologize for the inconvenience that prevents me from performing the proper greeting."

Wu Yi said with a look of regret, "Mr. Lu, please don't stand on ceremony."

Now that Wu Yi's younger sister has married Liu Bei, Wu Yi's status has risen accordingly.

We should thank Lu Congtian for showing mercy when he captured Wu Yi.

In this vast Chengdu Prefecture, the only person Lu Congtian knew was Wu Yi.

Wu Yi first inquired about Lu Congtian's situation and whether his family was well, and then discussed the major events that had recently occurred.

Lu Congtian took the opportunity to ask his superior, Liu Ba, why he was so cold to him.

Wu Yi, knowing the reason, smiled and said, "Liu Zichu is not indifferent to Lu Jun; he simply has no personal relationships with people after retirement. Even when General Yide stayed at his house, Zichu ignored him."

Why?

"This all begins with Zichu's past. Zichu was recommended by Liu Biao, but he declined. When our lord resided in Xinye, many men followed him, but Zichu alone went north to join Cao Cao. Later, Zichu tried to persuade Cao Cao to allow him to travel to Jingzhou, but to no avail. His return journey was blocked, so Zichu traveled to Jiaozhou, where he also clashed with Shi Xie. He then wandered to Yizhou and joined Liu Zhang of Yizhou. Later, when our lord gained control of Yizhou, Zichu had no choice but to follow suit."

"I see." Lu Congtian now understood why Liu Ba was ignoring him.

Liu Ba had followed Cao Cao and originally had no intention of serving Liu Bei.

When Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to Yizhou, Liu Ba repeatedly advised against it, but Liu Zhang did not listen.

Liu Ba avoided forming cliques and factions, and refrained from private dealings with officials, precisely because he feared being suspected and wanted to demonstrate his integrity to Liu Bei.

"Now that our lord is fighting in Nanyang, Lord Lu, you must choose your side carefully."

"Choose a faction?"
