"Mr. Kong Ming, do you think I am suitable for writing novels? Do I have the ability to become a truly qualified author?" Late at night, Liu Xu walked to the first floor of the library and saw Zhuge Liang still reading by the light. His mood was very complicated. Liu Xu couldn't help but ask.
"Is this important?" Zhuge Liang put down the "Girl's Heart" in his hand and asked.
"I originally thought it was not important, but today I found out it is quite important!" Liu Xu nodded and said, "Actually, after I came to this world, my mentality has always been that of a historical researcher. What I want to do is besides being able to study in this world. In addition to keeping the world alive, the most important thing is to bring the history of the earth to this world. I have never considered becoming a real novel author. I plagiarized the Romance of the Three Kingdoms just to find a better way to live."
"So when I first wrote The War between Chu and Han, I felt that it didn't matter what the results were, as long as I wrote according to my ideas. But these days, I have seen so many comments criticizing the content of the first 27 chapters. Some people say that the War between Chu and Han and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms do not look like things written by a single author. I am indeed very uncomfortable, and suddenly I don’t want to write it down!" Liu Xu confessed his feelings very sincerely. In fact, he had already I want to find someone to talk to.
"Congratulations, my lord!" Zhuge Liang suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Xu, "My lord, you have finally seen through this for yourself. There is no need for Liang to worry about how to wake up the lord. After all, Liang is really not good at teaching and educating people." What a skill!"
"Please Prime Minister teach me!" Liu Xu also bowed to Zhuge Liang.
"Liang said that he was not a good teacher, and he could not teach the Lord well. But when I was a child, I was studying, but sometimes it was difficult to understand the deep meaning of the sages' words, so I compared myself to the sages and asked the sages as a sage, and there was no disadvantage. So you know the true meaning of the book!" Zhuge Liang said very seriously, while Liu Xuze curled his lips and sighed that the prime minister was really awesome.
It turns out that what Zhuge Liang said was that when he encountered a problem that he couldn't understand in the book, he directly transformed himself into the sage who wrote the book, and then thought about the problems in the book with the identity and standpoint of the sage, so he wrote Nothing goes wrong.
This method has a premise, that is, you have to be as good as the sages who wrote the book!
He is indeed a man who can compare himself to Guan Zhongleyi, and his perspective on thinking about problems is indeed unique.
But the problem is that this answer is useless to Liu Xu. If he has to think about himself as a sage, then there are so many people fighting for hegemony between Chu and Han, and he doesn't know who to bring in.
"My lord must think clearly about this problem. No one else can help my lord!" Zhuge Liang said seriously. "But there is one thing that my lord can rest assured about. That is, as long as "I am Ma Su" is still being updated, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will The popularity and readers that have been gathered will never dissipate. There will always be readers who are willing to go back and read my Lord's "Chu-Han Struggle", and my Lord can safely try out his own ideas!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Liu Xu moved, and his great gratitude to Zhuge Liang suddenly surged deep in his heart. Only then did he realize how valuable the tips Zhuge Liang had left for him.
If it weren't for this fan conspiracy, I would have completely lost all popularity among readers because of the failure of the Chu-Han War.

"Bring in the sages, then the sage I am most familiar with is naturally Luo Guanzhong!" Liu Xu returned to his room and fell into deep thinking. Even Cai Wenji came in with a pot of hot tea and did not notice it. Cai Wenji just looked at Liu Xu quietly without saying a word.
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Xu moved his eyebrows and made up his mind.
He decided to continue copying Luo Guanzhong and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, Luo Guanzhong did not write about the Chu-Han War. Liu Xu planned to copy Luo Guanzhong's story structure, character creation, plot arrangement, etc.
Liu Xu has already written The Romance of the Three Kingdoms more than once as the author. In fact, he already has a rough idea in his mind. It’s just that Liu Xu has been immersed in history for a longer time and is more accustomed to writing things in a historical way. This is There were fatal mistakes in the creation of Chu-Han Zhan.
But now Liu Xu plans to put aside his identity as a historian completely.
Anyway, I will definitely write "A General History of the Western Han Dynasty" in the future, so I might as well let the novel belong to novel and the history to history. First, completely imitate the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and create my own "Chu-Han Struggle".
Although this may be a poor imitation, Liu Xu now has the entire complete history of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony as the main line of the story. There will definitely be no copying, and the basic value of the entire book will also be determined.
"Wen Ji, you said that if I plan to copy the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to write about the struggle between Chu and Han, how should I copy Chapter 1?" Although Liu Xu already had a definite idea, he was still a little uncertain at first, so he took the initiative to ask the person beside him Cai Wenji asked.
"When Wenji was studying, she always had to read an article for the first time, extract the central idea in the article, and then spread out the central idea. After reading the article again, she could completely understand the article. The content is clear to me.”
"Although the novel has no central idea, it has its own core plot."
"So if my lord wants to copy the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to write about the Chu-Han War for Hegemony, he might as well extract the core plot of each chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and then replace this core plot with the core plot of the Chu-Han War for Hegemony, and then divide it into one chapter. What do you think of the complete Chu-Han struggle for hegemony?" Cai Wenji asked.
"How wonderful!" Liu Xu excitedly clapped his thigh and said, "Then the core plot of Chapter 1 of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is naturally the Three Kingdoms of Taoyuan, so I have to create a Three Kingdoms of Taoyuan for the Chu-Han War for Hegemony."
"But where can we find three brothers in this Chu-Han War?" Liu Xu pondered and said to himself, "The most distinguished brothers in the Chu-Han War are of course Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and they are indeed We also became brothers when we rescued Ding Tao."
"It's just that this plot has reached the middle stage of the Chu-Han War for Hegemony. If you write this at the beginning, the whole rhythm will be chaotic."
"The brothers who can be written about in the beginning are nothing more than Xiang Yu and his generals, or Liu Bang and his Peixian Tiantuan. In terms of program effect, it is natural that the Peixian Tiantuan is the strongest! Write about how Liu Bang and Lu Wan, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Wang Ling, Zhou Chang and others got to know each other and became brothers!" Liu Xu almost had an idea, which was to start with Liu Bang's Peixian Tiantuan.
Just after this idea brewed in his mind for a while, Liu Xu gave up again, because there were too many characters in the Peixian Tiantuan and the stage in Peixian was too small. If he wrote them all in detail, it would be a lot of work. What's so stinky and long is the plot, which makes it difficult to reach the climax of the novel.
After thinking about it, Liu Xu found that he couldn't even figure out the plot of the beginning of the Taoyuan trio's friendship.
Fortunately, Cai Wenji saw Liu Xu's difficulty at this time, so she said with a smile, "Since there are three people in the Taoyuan Three Brothers, how about we also find three people? And the three most famous people in the early Han Dynasty, except for the three outstanding figures in the early Han Dynasty, Who else is there?"
"Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty!" The name exploded in Liu Xu's mind like a thunderbolt today. At this moment, the thoughts that had been stuck for a long time suddenly unfolded. Liu Xu even sat directly in front of the computer and started typing. .
