Han Thief

The Three Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony is an unquestionable source of information. The author writes very seriously, the language is solid, the meaning of the sentences is fluent, and he pays great attention to textual research. He quotes the Book of Songs and Qinyi, all of which are smooth and natural, without any artificiality, and have a somewhat casual and informal style. From this point of view, it is better than those novices who have only read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or even those who have never read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although it is unfinished and has occasional minor flaws, it does have some bright spots and is worth watching. The biggest impression left on me by the full text is that the Yellow Turban Army shouted in desperation, "Hair is like a leek, it will come back to life after being cut; its head is like a chicken, it will crow again after being cut off; Officials need not be feared, but ordinary people should never be taken lightly." The scene of calmly going to death is shocking.

This is not a very popular book, but it is one of the surprises I discovered. In the past two years, I have rarely looked for books from the monthly ticket lists, and there are sometimes Easter eggs in some small recommendations. I have said too much. I read this book Han Thief with great pleasure. It is unique among the novels of the Three Kingdoms. It is as memorable as The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms (Zongheng, and Eunuch =_=). It is still on my bookshelf now. . But the ending was too rushed, which was regrettable.

There was no Three Kingdoms after the Han Thieves. In my mind, it is the masterpiece of "The Resurrection of the Stroke" and the last novel of the Three Kingdoms genre. It tells the story of the eldest son of a wealthy Dunhuang family who stirred up troubles in the late Han Dynasty. It does not cater to the romance of the Three Kingdoms that favors Wei, nor does it favor the romance of the Three Kingdoms that favors Shu. In my mind, it is a magnificent late Han Dynasty. The rushed ending is the biggest failure. Completed (for various unknown reasons, it has been deleted by Qidian, unfortunately) Five-star recommendation

The textual research is detailed, and the description of the war also has merits, but the textual research and the novel are not well integrated. It feels like someone inserted an annotation in the middle of telling the story and then continued telling the story. Because it is a 12-year-old book, the behavior of the characters in some places now seems to be pretentious and a bit disgusting. Overall, the level is pretty good!
