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

Lu Congtian, sitting in the small house, couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong.

In his view, Fa Zheng was right, and his concerns were not unfounded. As for Yang Yi, he was also right to take the lead in providing money and supplies to support Liu Bei.

Was Liu Bei in the wrong? Lu Congtian didn't think so.

If he were Liu Bei, he would definitely take a gamble too.

Whether it's conquering Jiangdong or occupying the Central Plains, it's a strategically significant entity.

Such difficult problems are best left for important figures to consider. Lu Congtian is not qualified to offer advice; he should just focus on doing his job well.

A few days later

The Ministry of Personnel is in a state of turmoil.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Fa Zheng delayed issuing the transfer order.

Yang Yi astutely seized the opportunity and impeached Fa Zheng for failing to perform his duties effectively and disregarding Liu Bei's laws.

Unable to obtain the transfer order, Li Yan also spoke ill of Fa Zheng to Liu Bei.

Unable to stop the war machine from starting, Fa Zheng could only hone his skills and suggested to Liu Bei that he entrust the important task of escorting supplies to Wu Yi, whom he could trust.

In the live broadcast room

The audience has started arguing:

[Fa Zheng is really confused. Cao Cao is about to die. Why not take such a good opportunity?]

[Once Guan Yu and Lu Xun are replenished, and with Cao Cao dead, the Prime Minister's ambition will be achieved ahead of schedule!]

[Are you confused? They don't have historical insight, how could they know Cao Cao would die suddenly shortly after Qingming Festival?]

I think Fazheng did the right thing. Does Cao Cao's death mean the Wei state will collapse? Is that realistic? Preserving supplies and then discussing further conflict is the best strategy.

Besides, you're here to work and earn money. Would you give away your entire fortune to help the boss realize his unrealistic dreams? I definitely wouldn't gamble like that.

[The issue now isn't whether to gamble or not; it's that Fa Zheng has missed the opportune moment and is about to be impeached. The wing of Shu Han may be weakened as a result.]

[To consolidate the current situation and maintain control of the population, it is the wise course of action.]

Stop arguing, let's watch Xiaolu's live stream. I'm really curious what message Xiaolu will convey this Qingming Festival.

At this point, the number of viewers in the live stream remained at around twenty.

Each person said one sentence, and it was quite lively.

Big Green Pepper felt utterly helpless as he watched the live stream spiral into a strange, unsettling loop.

Even though the live stream is very active, the system will push the stream.

As a result, Lu Xiao did not enable tipping, did not post links, and did not generate revenue for the platform, so the platform did not increase its promotion.

Viewers who were subtly pushed in felt that the game's progress in the live stream was inexplicable and that the streamer was mute, so they immediately left, having no patience to continue watching.

Insufficient dwell time results in reduced weight.

A streamer with millions of followers only had twenty people on his first broadcast – it's laughable!

Looking at the game

Fa Zheng had a very difficult time due to Yang Yi's impeachment and Li Yan's pressure.

Fa Zheng withstood the pressure, outwardly compromising while secretly continuing to withhold the shipment of money and grain. He was preventing the worst-case scenario from occurring.

The time for Qingming Festival has arrived.

The audience's eyes remained fixed on the incense burning by Lu Congtian.

What's Little Deer doing? Why hasn't she sent a message yet?

If it were me, I would definitely send the word "attack".

[They're all crippled, what's the point of attacking? Making money is the only way!]

The question is whether to help Liu Bei achieve great things or to focus on the immediate future and pursue one's own interests.

This sparked discussion among viewers in the live stream.

[Cao Cao is about to die. If a rumor of his demise were to spread now, it would serve as a wake-up call for Liu Bei, effectively crushing the Cao Wei regime.]

What if Lu Congtian misunderstands this information and it actually leads to his death?

[Upstairs is awesome!]

[Leaving aside the differences in meaning between ancient and modern Chinese, even if Liu Bei learned that Cao Cao was about to die, there would only be a ten-day time difference. What can one do in ten days?]

Just as the audience was debating...

[It's been sent!]

What's being spread?!

Wait, am I seeing things? The deer is spreading rumors about...

Taking a concubine?!

The viewers in the live stream were stunned.

The rumor about Lu Xiao is that he's taking a concubine!

Even the big green pepper looked bewildered.

"Taking a concubine? Brother, you're letting a cripple take a concubine?"

Lu Xiao didn't answer. Want to know why? Keep reading.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

Lu Xiao's outrageous move of allowing a disabled person to take a concubine truly shocked everyone.

What exactly is Xiaolu trying to do? Is she just creating hype for her livestream?

[To carry on the family line? That shouldn't be the case. Lu Congtian's children are all so grown up; they've already had offspring.]

Why would you allow a cripple to take a concubine?

Nobody knows what Lu Xiao is going to do.

All they could do was watch the game progress in the live stream and wait for Lu Xiao to reveal the answer.

Lu Congtian was completely bewildered after receiving instructions to take a concubine.

I really want to question my ancestors: was there a mistake in the transmission, or were they playing a joke on him?

Ultimately, trust in the ancestral instructions triumphed over curiosity and skepticism.

To question our ancestors is to betray the sacrifices of our mother and brother!

After the Qingming Festival, Lu Congtian began to make arrangements for taking a concubine.

Half a month later

One piece of news could no longer be suppressed and swept across the world.

Some wept, some cheered.

"With the death of the King of Wei, who knows how many will claim the title of king, or even emperor!"

"With the traitor dead, Heaven blesses the Han Dynasty; the Han court, once imprisoned, has been restored to its former glory!"

However, Cao Cao's death did not lead to the devastation one might expect.

His son, Cao Pi, succeeded him as King of Wei and swiftly took over Cao Cao's power.

In addition, Cao Cao's move to relocate the capital to Ye City allowed Cao Pi to quickly concentrate power in his hands and stabilize the political situation.

At this moment, Liu Bei looked up at the sky and sighed.

Their own supplies were still en route, and they completely missed the window of opportunity when Cao Cao died and Cao Pi took over.

Even if Liu Bei knew a month in advance that Cao Cao was going to die, he still couldn't achieve his strategic goals because Guan Yu forced Cao Cao to move the capital.

"Heaven has misfortune upon me! Heaven has misfortune upon me!"

Dong He and others seized the opportunity to petition Fa Zheng to settle personal scores, thus missing a crucial opportunity in the war.

Li Yan, Huang Quan, and others also seconded the motion.

Now that things have come to this, why doesn't someone take the blame?

With no one to take the blame, how can we appease the various groups that also believe they missed a good opportunity?

Liu Bei knew this was not Fa Zheng's fault, and even if Fa Zheng cooperated fully, there wouldn't be enough time.

Despite strong opposition, Liu Bei did not hold Fa Zheng accountable.

But how can this convince the public?

Fa Zheng deeply sympathized with Liu Bei's predicament and difficulties.

Therefore, Fa Zheng stepped forward, took responsibility, resigned, and apologized. As a result, resentment accumulated, and he fell ill and never recovered.

Liu Bei was almost forced to transfer Fa Zheng away from his post so that Fa Zheng could recuperate in peace.

No one was at fault, but in the end, a huge mountain collapsed.

This is the imperial court.

Does holding a high position guarantee safety? So what if he's the second-in-command of Yizhou? Even if he's right, so what?

Do you know how many eyes are fixed on this position? How many people are constantly watching his every move? Do you know how much power would be freed up if Fa Zheng were to fall?

Did Fa Zheng really not know that internal conflicts in Yizhou had intensified before? But Fa Zheng understood that it was better to guide than to suppress, so he deliberately let the conflicts erupt, thereby helping Liu Bei to eliminate those with disloyal intentions.

He had already informed Wei Yan, who was stationed in Hanzhong, and Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Bazhong, to be careful.

Of course, this inaction can also be interpreted as eliminating dissidents.

It's just that plans can't keep up with changes.

Coupled with differing philosophies, this led to their apparent indifference and arrogance.
