Speaking of the great affairs of the world, it is said that after long periods of division, there will inevitably be unity, and after long periods of unity, there will inevitably be division. During the late Eastern Han dynasty, due to the incompetence of Emperor Xian of Han, the country fell into great chaos. Thus, the era of the Three Kingdoms began in history. Liu Bei (a cabbage farmer), Guan Yu (a cow offal vendor), and Zhang Fei (a pig butcher) originally planned to enlist in the army, but were unjustly arrested and thrown into Peach Garden Prison. Upon meeting, the three felt an instant bond and swore brotherhood in the Peach Garden. After their release, Liu Bei was determined to find a powerful patron to protect himself. However, Liu Bei was incredibly unlucky, as every patron he sought ended up dying! People referred to Liu Bei as the "Patron Killer," and this nickname quickly spread throughout the land. Out of goodwill, the boss of "Cao's Knife Shop," Cao Cao, invited Liu Bei to a hot pot feast to discuss heroes. However, Liu Bei feared Cao Cao's harm and knocked him unconscious before fleeing. In his haste, he realized that his beloved woman, "Flower," had been left behind at Cao Cao's mansion. He then sent Guan Yu to rescue her. Cao Cao had long admired Guan Yu's reputation and lured him with "delicious cow offal," making Guan Yu reluctant to leave. Meanwhile, the unemployed Zhuge Liang coincidentally met Liu Bei and was immediately revered as a divine figure by Liu. Liang, by chance, helped Liu expand his business, and the initial framework of the tripartite division among Liu, Cao, and Sun began to take shape. Subsequently, Liang masterminded the "Rock Climbing Competition" held by the three parties at Red Cliffs, with the help of theEast Wind (Dongfeng), Liu Bei emerged victorious. This "Three Kingdoms" is not the same as the one in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Records of the Three Kingdoms," which are filled with constant warfare and the desire for national unification. Instead, it adopts a different approach—business warfare to replace the unification war. As the saying goes: "The business world is like a battlefield." The three major groups represented by Cao, Liu, and Sun engaged in intense battles in the business world, causing chaos and excitement. This allows people to roughly understand the situation of the Three Kingdoms without witnessing bloodshed, and even provides laughter until one's sides ache.
