Lu Heng, chief designer of a strategy game about the Three Kingdoms, knew its famous figures, battles, and the shifting balance of power inside out.
When he woke up, he had become Liu Feng, Liu Bei's adopted son.
It was the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an. Guan Yu had flooded the Seven Armies and shaken all of China, and he had sent a third letter from Xiangfan begging for reinforcements.
Lu Heng knew that if he didn't send troops, Guan Yu would be defeated at Maicheng; Meng Da would rebel, the three eastern commanderies would be lost, and Liu Bei would have him executed for failing to save Guan Yu and mistreating Meng Da.
But sending troops could just as easily cost him Shangyong.
Worse, nearly three thousand of the eight thousand soldiers on the roster existed in name only. The granaries held too little food, the local clans each had their own agenda, and Meng Da had already prepared a way out for himself.
With no path to survival, Liu Feng decided to forge one with his own hands.
Save Guan Yu, hold Shangyong, change the course of Yiling, and seize Guanzhong. Find rising talents like Wang Ping, Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai before they make names for themselves, and compete with Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, and Sima Yi for control of the board.
But as history changed, the future he knew began to lose its certainty.
He knew what everyone had originally become, but not whether they would still follow their destined paths now that he was here.
This time, Liu Feng would do more than survive.
He would bring the realm back under the Han dynasty.
It's okay, but I feel like there's not enough support from people.
This detail is close to reality
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
It's very detailed and has a cinematic feel. It describes the psychology of the characters very delicately, and there's nothing to turn the tide. It's not a cool novel.
