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

Big Green Pepper, assisting backstage, said, "Brother Lu, lock the camera on Ruxukou. When the game reaches a crucial point and most of the audience has arrived, switch the camera as I command!"

Lu Xiao knew that Da Qingjiao was trying to whet the audience's appetite.

God's-eye view locked.

Lu Xun led 30,000 Jingzhou naval troops, with Pang Tong as his chief strategist and Wen Ping as his deputy. They set out from Lukou and headed for Ruxu.

The viewers who entered the live stream were stunned.

Green Hills and Clear Waters: "Am I seeing things? Pang Tong was still alive in 219?"

"Why did Lu Xun defect to Liu Bei and then turn against Sun Quan? Can anyone tell me what happened before?"

Red-faced Ge Lao: "Where's Guan Yu? Was he attacked by those rats? Streamer, quickly switch the camera to see if he's alright!"

Cut? It's impossible to cut.

How can we satisfy the audience?

Want to know the answer? Then stay in the live stream.

At this moment, some viewers noticed something amiss:

Qingzui Shengjiu: "Am I seeing things? This is Xiaolu Baba's live stream?!"

蹦灬啥卡卡: "Xiao Lu is streaming? Is someone impersonating her? Xiao Lu never streams playing games; she only criticizes trash games."

Looking at the homepage, there are only three lonely videos, but a million followers.

No doubt about it, it's definitely Lu Han himself.

"Oh my god! My favorite gaming blogger has started making easy money. His image has been ruined."

"Open your eyes and look! Little Deer isn't using any links or offering tips. Where is she making easy money?"

"Little Deer is still Little Deer! I'm going to open his shop window and buy a few packs of spicy strips to support him."

Those who were able to enter the first batch of live broadcasts were all Lu Xiao's followers.

Although there are only seven or eight people at the moment, their interactivity is enough to match that of dozens of scuba diving viewers.

The live streaming algorithm works by increasing the algorithm weight of valid viewers' comments in the live stream, thereby giving them a certain amount of traffic.

Subsequent actions by viewers, such as entering the room, staying, speaking, interacting, and tipping, will affect the ranking and trigger further streaming. Tipping, in particular, has the highest ranking.

However, Lu Xiao did not turn on his camera, played the game in full-screen mode, or interact with the audience via voice. The donation channel was also closed.

What was presented was simply the game screen; they could only listen to and watch whatever Lu Xiao told them.

Before the broadcast, Da Qingjiao repeatedly suggested to Lu Xiao that he should add narration and interaction to increase audience engagement and improve data algorithms.

But Lu Xiao did not accept it.

The core principles cannot be violated. Speaking and interacting can affect the game's progress and introduce subjective opinions, causing fans to lose their ability to distinguish between good and bad.

Whether a game is good or not cannot be determined by Lu Xiao.

Let the players judge for themselves.

The immersive visuals show the same few longtime fans interacting through text.

A few people were occasionally drawn in, only to find that the streamer was a mute who didn't speak, and then quickly swiped away.

The algorithm determined that Lu Xiao's live stream was terrible and stopped pushing the stream.

The young pepper, who was constantly monitoring the backend data, sighed helplessly. He had started the broadcast full of ambition, but ended it in dejection.

I can only console myself with the thought that everything is difficult at the beginning.

"An account with a million followers shouldn't only have this many people."

Little did Da Qingjiao know that most of Lu Xiao's fans were struggling with life.

At the same time, people have free time and can still browse Lu Xiao's live stream. It's already pretty good that we have about ten viewers now.

Moreover, this already exceeds 80% of the streamers. There are plenty of streamers with single-digit zero viewers!

Turning to look at Lu Xiao, who was wearing a helmet, he was already immersed in the game world.

Despite strong opposition, Liu Bei adopted Pang Tong's suggestion.

The surrendered general Lu Xun was appointed as the General Who Conquers the East, with his sword pointed at Eastern Wu.

Then send Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Meng Da to advance on Shangyong, Xicheng, and Fangling, and establish a connection with Hanzhong.

In fact, before the conference, Liu Bei had already discussed all the possibilities with his think tank.

Pang Tong's suggestion to appoint Lu Xun as the main general was made after careful consideration and has stood the test of time.

Lu Xun rebelled against Sun Quan to avenge Sun Quan, and since Sun Quan had been tricked by Lu Xun, there was absolutely no possibility of the two reconciling.

If Liu Bei appointed Lu Xun as the main general, it would not only demonstrate Liu Bei's attitude of trusting his subordinates, but also serve as a warning to the veterans of Jiangdong.

I've promoted even a surrendered general to a high-ranking one, so what reason do you have not to surrender?

This tactic is known as winning hearts and minds.

Secondly, Lu Xun was not from the Jing or Yi faction, but a completely independent powerful family in Jiangdong.

To maintain the internal balance of the Jing and Yi groups, Liu Bei could not use people from factions.

If the credit for conquering Wu is given to the Jingzhou faction, they will inevitably become extremely arrogant. If it is given to the Yizhou faction, the people of Yizhou will surely try to reclaim the power that rightfully belongs to the Jingzhou faction.

Therefore, Lu Xun, a surrendered general who was now serving as a military advisor, was suddenly brought up by Pang Tong.

Lu Xun knew, of course, that although he was the commander-in-chief, the actual decision-making and command were made by Pang Tong, the strategist of this expedition.

Lu Xun was not offended by this, knowing that the King of Hanzhong was merely using his identity to act.

"The current commander of Ruxukou is Zhou Tai, and the generals Zhu Ran, Zhu Huan, and Xu Sheng are also in command. Ruxukou and Ruxuwu are strategically located together, making them difficult to attack."

Lu Xun stood before the sand table, his expression solemn.

It can be said that Ruxukou and Ruxuwu were key fortresses to which Sun Quan devoted countless efforts.

Ruxukou guards the Yangtze River, and Ruxuwu controls the vital passage for the Yangtze River to enter Chaohu Lake. Further upstream lies Hefei, which Sun Quan longed for.

Lu Xun knew the importance of Ruxukou to Sun Quan. Even though he knew the defenses, facilities, and terrain of Ruxukou, and even with 30,000 soldiers and thousands of warships, it would be no less difficult for Sun Quan to take Ruxukou than it was for Hefei.

When Sun Quan learned that Liu Bei was attacking him, he would surely devote all the strength of Jiangdong to defend Ruxukou.

"We have to fight, even if it's difficult!"

Pang Tong revealed his scheming intentions.

"Jiangdong is fickle and treacherous. Even if we do not send troops to attack them, they will surely take advantage of our army's advance into the Central Plains to launch a surprise attack from the rear."

Lu Xun nodded, understanding Pang Tong's concerns.

Rather than being attacked from both sides by Cao Cao and Sun Quan, it is better to fight on two fronts directly.

If one side gains an advantage on the battlefield, it will inevitably affect the balance of power between them, resulting in a situation where two sides divide up the territory.

This was Pang Tong's true intention: to seek change!

Dividing Cao into two factions was definitely unrealistic, and Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang had already shared the view of dividing Wu.

This is also the reason why Pang Tong advised Guan Yu to advance slowly.

Once Jiangdong gains an advantage, Cao Cao will surely be on the same page and send troops from Hefei to attack Ruxuwu and Kou from both sides.

At that time, the best situation for Liu Bei—ruling the country along the Yangtze River—would emerge.

"Shiyuan's intentions go beyond this, don't they?" Lu Xun said meaningfully.

Pang Tong feigned ignorance, "Oh? What makes you say that, Boyan?"

Lu Xun said, "Isn't Shi Yuan worried that General Guan might actually capture Xuchang and bring back the Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Tong burst into laughter, "You can't fool Boyan after all!"

Yes, Pang Tong's deepest intention was to prevent Guan Yu from welcoming back the emperor.

Although the imperial power has declined, Liu Xie is still nominally the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

This great man is beyond saving. If we bring the emperor to Liu Bei's side, what will Liu Bei do?

As a subordinate, one should naturally consider the boss's situation.
