The modern social animal Lin Fu accidentally traveled through the late Eastern Han Dynasty and joined Liu Biao as a staff member. At that time, Jingxiang seemed to be prosperous, but in fact, it was constrained by the Cai and Kuai clans internally, and surrounded by Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei externally. Liu Biao was in his old age, his descendants were mediocre, and the danger of national subjugation was imminent.
Lin Fu had no golden fingers to rely on. With only his understanding of the historical trend and his pragmatic skills, he first took advantage of the chaos in Jiangxia to stand out and gained Liu Biao's initial trust. He then offered suggestions to rectify the government, build water conservancy, and train troops to strengthen agriculture, gradually consolidating the foundation of Jingxiang. He also skillfully broke through factional strife in the court, wooed the middle forces, and divided the Cai Kuai group.
Faced with the complex situation of Cao Cao heading south, coveting Jiangdong, and Liu Bei dormant, he worked step by step, united the weak to resist the strong, and made many ingenious plans. He not only relied on strategies to resolve the crisis in Chibi, but also won the hearts of the people with benevolent policies.
From an aide who was living under someone else's roof to a minister who assisted the Liu family (Liu Qi, son of Liu Biao) in reorganizing the country, Lin Fu, as a mortal, bucked the trend in troubled times, trying to reverse the decline of Han Zuo, paving a path of unification amidst the light of swords and shadows, and restoring the glory of the Han Dynasty.
