(Two chapters updated daily, at noon or 7 p.m.) When other people transmigrate to the Three Kingdoms, they become famous generals or brilliant strategists. I became the unluckiest man of the era: Liu Cong, the lord of Jingzhou who surrendered to Cao Cao and was secretly killed almost immediately afterward. Cao Cao’s army has reached Wancheng, while Liu Bei is watching hungrily from Xinye. And I can’t even be sure whether tonight’s dinner has been poisoned. If surrender means death, and refusing to surrender means death too… then I’ve decided to go big.
“Give the order: open the granaries and recruit talented people from humble backgrounds across the realm!”
“My lord, that’s against the rules…”
“Rules? You can explain them to everyone after I’m dead.”
On this day, a very different Liu Cong quietly ushered in an era of his own.
The timeline is a little off. By this time, Zhuge Liang had already been invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei who visited the thatched cottage three times. If Zhuge Liang was replaced by Pang Tong, it would be more realistic.
