The Romance of the Three Kingdoms' Supporting Cast

It's really a treat for lovers of the Three Kingdoms. Lao Ma's imagination is truly genius level. I really admire Lao Ma's familiarity with the historical materials of the Han and Tang Dynasties. It's full of details, research and strange ideas. It's really a great book!

It is really wonderful to peel off the cocoons from historical allusions and try to find the truth. It is much better than those novels that travel through time and get golden fingers at every turn. It's a pity that we can't go further. Just like Jin Yong's novels, martial arts travel through it, and the story has ups and downs. The events and characters in history are basically consistent with history, and they are intertwined with each other, making people a little doubtful after reading it. Is it true?

In an era like the Three Kingdoms, when heroes emerged in droves, the supporting characters who could leave a few strokes in history books or novels were actually also very outstanding. Their stories were enough to fill a thick book. Just as we are usually concerned about the fate of small characters in the grand narrative of the times, people are also curious about the fate of these supporting characters and what kind of mental journey they experienced under the coercion of the big shots. Ma Boyong's book satisfies our curiosity. He tells some interesting stories based on the truth behind the little people or big events that we have missed several times.

Answer history from another perspective.

Compared with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four famous ancient works, which tells the story of the three kingdoms of Shu, Wei and Wu competing for hegemony in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the court was corrupt, eunuchs were dictatorial, and various heroes competed for hegemony, this book is based on historical materials, starting with minor characters, and using huge imagination to depict the stories of supporting characters hidden in historical details. The author's language is easy to understand, vivid and interesting, and the plot description is exquisitely designed. After reading it, I was trembling all over and was shocked by the author's imagination.

Although it is a novel, it is not a fantasy and has reasonable deductions and assumptions. The author has a solid foundation in the history of the Three Kingdoms and is also an authentic conspiracy theorist. It is extremely impressive to be able to innovate in such a familiar theme as the Three Kingdoms. Clothes

I've only finished the first chapter, and I'm not very interested in reading the rest. It's not that the writing of the prince is not good, it's that these characters are indeed not very exciting. Even though Prince Ma did many researches, he tried to find a possibility of expansion from the clues of history. But a supporting role is a supporting role after all. It is really difficult to write wonderfully if it is not accompanied by wild imagination. Ma Su has never been Prime Minister Zhuge's first training target. Any wise leader will not assign a key point to a person with insufficient ability to take charge. It is a historical doubt to use Ma Su against all opinions. Would Prime Minister Zhuge, who has always been cautious, make such a simple mistake in identifying people? I'm afraid not. There is only one possibility. Ma Su either has established a certain military merit in the country, or has someone to recommend him. The first guess is definitely not true. If there was military industry, it would be recorded in history books. Then the second option is possible. Who is the recommended person? For what consideration. It won't be Zhuge Liang first. Such an important position as the street pavilion cannot be given casually to a Confucian general with such a junior qualification. It is not possible that Fei Yi left for Soochow at that time, unless he had hinted that someone was preparing to frame Ma Su. It is possible that the aristocratic families in central Sichuan, Ma Su and the Sichuan aristocratic family belonging to the Jingzhou sect may use this to weaken Zhuge Liang's power. But Ma Su might not be enough to be framed like this. Other generals, Jieting has such an important task, which general is not moved, but they all have concerns. If you don't eat the fat at Daokou, you won't give it to others. So we were silent together. The last one, Wang Ping, is very likely. Wang Ping and Ma Su have no grievances and no conflicts of interest. Therefore, it is impossible for Wang Ping to frame Ma Di. What if someone gives me instructions? This makes it possible to get along with Fei Yi. Who is Fei Yi related to? Was Li Yan involved? This plot would be much more interesting if the forces opposing the Prime Minister intervened, or even got involved with the successor Liu Chan. After all, history is just a fragment, and imagination may be more exciting.

Very interesting and beautiful

History books are just fragments, and the real world is much more complex and exciting. It is very interesting and challenging to try to construct a story in the real world with the help of just a few words. Although some of the author's speculations are a bit too subjective, as a literary work, excitement is far more important than truth. This type of literary works should be encouraged and supported, and we hope that there will be more and more similar works.

The author is a professional writer, and he picks up people's books. Just because it's not popular doesn't mean it's not a good book. I don't think I'm qualified to evaluate professional writers. The writing is so good that it's a five-star review.
