Initial Dilemma
The Liu Clan's early dilemma is about helping Tao Qian against Cao Cao. Tao Qian had allegedly killed Cao Cao’s father Cao Song, but Tao Qian of course denies this. In any case, it triggers conflict between Cao Cao and Tao Qian, where the latter seeks help from Liu Bei.
- Do you join the conflict and rally to Tao Qian's side?
- Or do you ignore the request and avoid a potentially messy war with Cao Cao?
