Reviving the Han Dynasty Three Times, Starting by Helping Liu Bei Defeat Lü Bu

He arrived in the late Han dynasty just as Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xu Province. Soon after, Lü Bu seized Xu Province from Liu Bei. In these chaotic times, Zhong Yang wanted not only to survive, but also to live freely and carefree. He turned his attention to Liu Bei, offering advice that helped defeat Lü Bu, drive out Yuan Shu, and secure Xu Province's development. After earning Liu Bei's trust and being given important responsibilities, Zhong Yang planned to find talented people for Liu Bei so he could slack off and enjoy himself. Who could have guessed that Liu Bei would become utterly devoted to him? Liu Bei: "Military Advisor, don't get lost in the pleasures of the flesh. You must take charge of the new policies you proposed. Guan Yu: "Military Advisor, your mastery of strategy is profound. Please teach me." Zhang Fei: "Military Advisor, quit fishing. You get skunked every day. Fighting's way more fun than fishing. Where are we attacking next?" Zhao Yun: "Military Advisor, the cavalry is fully organized. When are we going to attack the Western Regions?" Zhuge Liang: "I, Liang, have the utmost respect for your talents, sir. Now that we have ample funds and provisions, we can send troops to the granary region you mentioned." Zhong Yang looked at how everyone came to him whenever they needed something, then at Liu Bei, who stood beside him with a cheerful smile. His face darkened. "Why are you all asking me? I'm only a military advisor." "My lord, you're a mature ruler now. You can make your own decisions." Zhong Yang sighed at the sky. Why had things turned out so differently from what he'd imagined?
