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

Lu Qian returned home.

I checked my mother's status.

He was still as absent-minded and listless as ever.

Looking at his mother's increasingly haggard face, Lu Qian clenched his fists.

He wanted revenge, but his strength alone was far too insignificant. Besides, he was currently nothing more than a lowly commoner observing mourning for his father, lacking any real power for vengeance.

The only people he could rely on, besides Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, were his cousin Lu Xun.

Now, Lu Qian has taken the first step toward revenge.

His goal was clear: to gain insight!

As long as things develop as expected, Fei Guan will surely be eliminated!

Last year during the Qingming Festival, Lu Qian made it clear to Lu Xun that whoever succeeded Lu Xun would be the one who framed Lu Xun.

Fei Guan took over.

Fei Guan not only succeeded Lu Xun, but also took over Lu Congtian's position as the governor of Yizhou's agricultural settlements, and became Lu Congtian's superior. He also transferred Lu Congtian to Dianjiang.

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that all of this is inextricably linked to Fei Guan.

The problem is that there is no direct evidence to prove that the other party is hiding their true intentions too well.

Lu Qian then chose to go to hell with the evidence and just die first!

Lu Qian was well aware that this was something Zhuge Liang had tacitly approved of him doing.

Otherwise, there would have been no need for Zhuge Liang to bring Lu Qian along when he went to deliver the imperial edict.

Lu Xun's journey to Jingzhou to assume the post went very smoothly.

He first went to Xiakou to seek Wenpin's help.

Then he stopped advancing, and using his position as General of Chariots and Cavalry, gathered his troops, transported provisions, and prepared for a protracted war.

As for Chaisang, Fei Guan had already abandoned the city and fled to Yuzhang, seeking the protection of Dong He.

Another imperial edict ordering the return of the Chaisang troops was also delivered by Lu Xun to Huang Quan.

Left with no other choice, Huang Quan had to return the 10,000 troops that had been transferred away.

In this way, the garrison at Xiakou would number over 15,000.

With the addition of deserters from the front lines and local strongmen's armed forces, the garrison at Xiakou reached 20,000 within a month.

Upon hearing that Lu Xun had regained power and was guarding Xiakou, Sun Quan...

A small advance force was sent to harass Xiakou to probe its strength.

Upon hearing that the flag bearing the character "Lu" was fluttering atop the city walls of Xiakou, Sun Quan found himself in a dilemma.

"Unexpectedly, Shu Han reacted extremely quickly, sending Lu Xun, who was the most troublesome person for His Majesty." Zhang Zhao began to speak pessimistically.

Anyone can come, just not Lu Xun.

Because Lu Xun truly intended to take down Sun Quan...

Sun Quan sighed, realizing that with Lu Xun guarding Xiakou, it would be difficult to capture. If he withdrew his troops, he would leave his back to Lu Xun, who would surely pursue him.

Lu Xun had an excellent grasp of the internal relationships, military capabilities, defensive facilities, and warships of Jiangdong. It can be said that within the Shu Han group, Lu Xun was the person who gave Sun Quan the most headaches.

Grand Commander Xu Sheng advocated for an offensive, saying, "Your Majesty, if Xiakou falls, our army can enter Jingzhou as if it were empty! We must not miss this opportunity!"

Sun Quan has now been promoted to King of Wu, but he still prefers to be addressed as the Supreme One rather than as Great King.

Sun Quan was undecided and turned his gaze to Zhuge Jin.

"What is Tzuyu's opinion?"

Zhuge Jin cupped his hands and then addressed the strategists and generals in the tent, saying, "The scouts report that there are over 20,000 troops at Xiakou. Even if we send all of them, it will certainly not be as easy as taking Chaisang. If our army is tied down by Lu Xun, and Cao Wei seizes the opportunity to take Hefei, you should all understand the consequences."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

We finally captured Hefei; if we lose it, our demise will be imminent.

"My suggestion is to leave 10,000 troops, deploying many feints to confront Lu Xun on the river, thus hindering his advance. Then, we can send troops to capture Lujiang and Yuzhang, reclaiming what rightfully belongs to us!"

These words resonated deeply with Sun Quan.

Zhang Zhao disagreed, saying, "Your Majesty, what if Lu Xun learns that our army has divided its forces and launches a surprise attack? At that time, not only will the front lines collapse, but we may also lose the captured Chaisang."

"If Lu Xun regains control of Chaisang, what use will our army have in recovering Lujiang and Yuzhang?"

Controlling Chaisang means controlling the key to attacking Lujiang and Yuzhang.

Zhuge Jin said, "As long as His Majesty and the Grand Commander occasionally appear at the front lines and demonstrate their determination to attack Xiakou, Lu Xun will certainly not suspect anything."

Needless to say, Xu Sheng was certainly willing to risk his life and expose himself to the public.

Sun Quan, however, was unsure.

Didn't you see that Sun Quan was commanding from Chaisang, not on the front lines at Xiakou?

At this moment, one person stepped forward.

This man was named Bu Zhi, courtesy name Zishan, and was formerly the governor of Jiaozhou.

Of the 50,000 troops Sun Quan led to attack Hefei, more than 10,000 were brought by Bu Zhi from Jiaozhou.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty try the method of persuading them to surrender?"

"To surrender? To surrender Lu Xun? Haha..." Zhang Zhao's laughter stopped abruptly.

Sun Quan's expression was not good. "Zibu, this is not the time for jokes."

But Bu Zhi remained calm. “It’s not about recruiting Lu Xun. You all seem to have forgotten that Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu are still in our Wu territory. And Fei Guan, who fled to Yuzhang, is Liu Jiyu’s son-in-law. If His Majesty were to send Liu Jiyu to recruit Fei Guan, Yuzhang and Lujiang would surely be pacified with a single proclamation. In this way, we can recover lost territory without losing a single soldier.”

Sun Quan admired Bu Zhi's wisdom, saying, "Zi Bu has been in Jiaozhou for a long time and is unaware that Liu Jiyu died of illness several months ago."

"Is that so? It was my rashness." Bu Zhi bowed and apologized.

Sun Quan, having exhausted all other options, adopted Zhuge Jin's suggestion: "Let us discuss this further in detail, following Ziyu's plan."

"promise."

But Bu Zhi's suggestion also served as a reminder to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was well aware that Huang Quan had used his imperial insignia to draw troops from Chaisang, which led to the loss of Chaisang.

Now that Chaisang is under Sun Quan's control, why not take this opportunity to write a letter to Huang Quan, analyzing the consequences of losing cities and prefectures, and how Liu Bei would punish him, thereby persuading Huang Quan to surrender?

Therefore, it is necessary to make the capture of Lujiang and Yuzhang a fait accompli, so that Huang Quan will be unable to sleep or eat in peace!

At that time, Huang Quan, fearing punishment from Liu Bei, would most likely choose to surrender in order to save his life!

After all, if Huang Quan surrendered to Sun Quan, he would be rewarded for surrendering the city, which would not only save his life but also allow him to enjoy wealth and honor.

At that time, they can join forces with Huang Quan to attack Xiakou, assassinate the traitor Lu Xun, and thus take control of the entire Jingzhou!

Sun Quan's heart pounded.

Sun Quan's gaze inadvertently swept over Bu Zhi, but he caught a meaningful glimpse into Bu Zhi's eyes.

Did Bu Zhi truly not know that Liu Zhang was dead?

Is he trying to subtly hint at something?!

That must be it!

Sun Quan realized that Bu Zhi was a man of great talent.

He is another talent capable of leading the charge, following in the footsteps of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lü Meng, and Zhuge Jin! Of course, this does not include Gu, Zhu, and Zhang.

Several days later, orders and letters were sent out from Chaisang.

Sun Quan and Xu Sheng also got up and went to Xiakou Water Fortress to act as a feint, buying time for Bu Zhi to capture Yuzhang and Lujiang.

Of course, Sun Quan would not stay at the front line permanently; he only needed to risk showing himself to let Lu Xun know that he had come to the front line to supervise the battle.

Unbeknownst to many, after Sun Quan returned to Chaisang, Lu Xun received a letter.

The letter was unsigned, so it is unknown who wrote it.

The content revealed to Lu Xun Sun Quan's plan to deploy a feint force at the front lines, which was actually intended to attack Lujiang and Yuzhang.

Lu Xun was then urged to seize the opportunity to attack Xu Sheng, who only had ten thousand feinting troops...
