My new book, "My Younger Brother Zhuge Liang," has been published. It is also a work of strategy and tactics from the Three Kingdoms period, and can be considered a spiritual sequel. New and old readers are welcome to read it. —— Should we rent an official position in the Western Garden under Emperor Ling of Han? Rent! Of course, rent! Because if you happen to rent the last term of Emperor Ling's reign before his death, it's like becoming a landlord by renting a house! You're becoming a feudal lord by renting an official position! Therefore, how can we restore the Han Dynasty by simply burying ourselves in hard battles? The most efficient and effective approach is to combine meritorious service with buying official positions. However, before doing all this, Li Su first had to use a strategic approach to deceive his upright lord.

Reborn as Wei Yan's son, he dominates the post-Three Kingdoms era!

Reborn as Sun Ce, he dominates the Three Kingdoms. When he woke up from his dream, he had become Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror. His biological father, Sun Jian, was fighting in Xiangyang and his life was hanging by a thread. He had to save his father, fight for the country, and rescue both the chaotic world and the beauty, but things were not as simple as he imagined. Yuan Shao, from a family that had held high office for four generations, was very powerful, but the lack of horses in Jiangdong made it difficult to contend for supremacy. The young emperor was very intelligent, but the scholars were arrogant and naive. The aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion had not yet subsided, and powerful clans were already beginning to emerge. Famous ministers and fierce generals were merely shadows on the stage; an invisible hand was pulling them from behind the scenes. There was exhilaration, regret, and helplessness, but the original intention remained unchanged. With a bit of foresight, we gathered the wisdom and strength of good ministers and brave generals to forge the backbone of a powerful civilization. This is my Three Kingdoms, and I am Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror. —— Lao Zhuang's book club: 23470572, welcome to join!

The word "" (shào) has two meanings: first, to continue; second, to guide. In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Soon after, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst great anticipation, succeeding the Song Dynasty and changing the era name to Jianyan. However, within three months, Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Chen Dong was killed, Yue Fei was expelled from the army, Zong Ze was abandoned in Tokyo, and the anti-Jin deployment in Hebei was completely dismantled... After so many efforts, the civil and military officials finally unified their thinking and decided to support the Emperor Zhao's glorious anti-Jin route of heading south to Huaidian and then Yangzhou. However, as soon as he set off, after paying homage to the Taoist patriarch at the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, this Zhao official plunged headfirst into the world-famous Nine Dragon Well. When he came out, he did not recognize who his trusted confidants were! I must resist the Jin! But where are my trusted confidants?! This is a sincere cry from a soul nine hundred years in the future. Having reluctantly inherited the name of the Song Dynasty, he is determined to guide the court and the world onto a new path. Therefore, it is called Shaosong.
