   The textual research is very rigorous and does not insult the intelligence of the ancients and readers. There will be no titles, customs and various systems from later generations. There will be no mentally retarded titles such as "Young Master" or "Miss (a special practitioner in the Song Dynasty)". There will be no mentally retarded plots in the Song Dynasty such as "tongsheng" and "xiucai". There will be no mentally retarded plots in the Song Dynasty where the emperor fell to his knees... There will be no mentally retarded plots in which the protagonist "invented" fried tea, liquor and glass (all in the Song Dynasty), but it will be improved. The protagonist will not treat the Jinshi as a pickpocket. The protagonist took the imperial examination at the age of 13, but had been in poverty for ten years before that. Everything the protagonist does stands up to scrutiny and is logical. The research is rigorous, the logic is online, and the direction is true, not literary, so there will be no protagonists who are "big" or "slap in the face" and all kinds of mindless fun. Just think about how a once-in-a-millennium genius like Su Dongpo failed to realize his dream political ideal of "bringing kings, Yao and Shun to the throne, and making customs pure" in the Song Dynasty, and you will know what the real history is like.

   Recommend "Red Three Kingdoms: Red Flag World"! The soul travels to an imaginary historical world with the background of the Three Kingdoms. The protagonist returns to the troubled times with modern ideas. It combines revolutionary ideas with the Three Kingdoms' machinations and battlefield battles in a particularly wonderful way. You can not only see the exciting interactions of familiar Three Kingdoms celebrities (such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, etc.) In the new plot, but also follow the protagonist to engage in production, gather people's hearts, and lead troops to fight, setting off a wave of changing the times step by step from the bottom. The characters are vivid, the game of power is mind-blowing, and the battlefield is full of tension. Reading it not only gives you a sense of the history of the Three Kingdoms, but also gives you a new sense of refreshment brought by the "red flag" ideal. It is well worth watching~

Xuzhou started steadily and steadily. At the same time, some character relationship settings are very interesting. Zhao Yun married Mrs. Mi, which was avoided, and Mi Zhu used his sister to win over Liu Bei. At the same time, it also changed the tragedy of Mrs. Mi Changbanpo jumping into a well. In most of the books, Diao Chan is taken into the harem by the protagonist. In this book, Diao Chan is an intelligence agent, which fits Diao Chan's sense of mystery. Highly recommended!!!!
