The Three Kingdoms era was a time of great changes and heroes emerged in large numbers. There are endless official historical records, unofficial legends, and romantic novels about this period. It is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and the true face of the Three Kingdoms has gradually been ignored by readers. This book is a brand new masterpiece by Wang Jueren, the author of "Three Hundred Years of the Rise and Fall of the Tang Dynasty" (formerly "The Bloody Tang Dynasty"). It strives to unravel the mystery behind historical events and restore the true history of the Three Kingdoms from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the fall of the Kingdom of Wu.
It was not Zhuge Liang who "borrowed arrows from a straw boat", but Sun Quan
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Before the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang drove twenty boats filled with scarecrows and headed straight for Cao's camp. The straw boats were eventually filled with arrows shot by Cao's army, thereby completing the three-day task of making 100,000 arrows.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2": There was indeed a "borrowing arrows from a straw boat" in history, but the protagonist was not Zhuge Liang, but Sun Quan. During the Battle of Ruxu, Sun Quan rode a large ship to Cao Cao's camp. The suspicious Cao Cao ordered all arrows to be fired. The ship was filled with arrows, and Sun Quan left calmly. Perhaps it was this historical record that inspired Luo Guanzhong, and he came up with the story of Zhuge Liang's "borrowing arrows from a straw boat".
The protagonist of "Empty City Strategy" is actually Zhao Yun
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": After the Battle of Jieting, Sima Yi led his troops to the west city. Zhuge Liang had no troops to meet the enemy, but he was calm and composed, opened the city gates, and played the piano on the tower. Sima Yi suspected that there was an ambush, so he retreated with his troops.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2": In fact, it was Zhao Yun who actually used this clever trick. It happened during the Battle of Han River. Facing Cao Jun's pursuit, Zhao Yun had no time to organize an effective defense, so he ordered his troops to open the camp door, then stopped all activities, and asked everyone to return to their barracks, creating the illusion of an empty camp. Cao Cao saw that the enemy camp was completely silent and suspected a deception, so he did not continue the attack.
"Xu Shu entered Cao's camp without saying a word" is pure fiction
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Liu Bei's subordinate Xu Shu surrendered to Cao Cao because his mother was captured, but Xu Shu said nothing while in Cao Cao's camp. This incident, together with Guan Yu's unwillingness to be used by Cao Cao, evolved into the idiom "Being in Cao Cao's camp, my heart is in Han".
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2": Xu Shu later served as an official in Cao Wei, and then became You Zhonglang General and Yu Shi Zhongcheng. When he entered Cao Ying, could he really say nothing, only get paid and not work? It may be credible to say that he has never forgotten Liu Bei emotionally, but if he really "said nothing", he would never be promoted. It can be seen that this is just Luo Guanzhong's artistic fiction and is by no means a historical fact.
Open this book and restore the real Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang in history...
Reader comments
The Three Kingdoms did not conduct exercises and restored the historical truth. It is true that changes in history do not rely on people's wishful thinking. In many cases, they rely on small things discovered by accident. The most important thing is that historical trendsetters can seize the opportunity and make prompt decisions. Success requires opportunities. Opportunities are waiting and breaking out, not calculated.

The word "Romance" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms originally refers to a chapter-style novel based on historical facts; in this book, best-selling history writer Wang Jueren whitewashes it in order to give people an objective and faithful restoration of the history of the Three Kingdoms; after all, people pay too much attention to Cao Cao in the Romance Disgusted, Zhuge Liang has become more deified; but in real history, all the past is a prologue, and all heroes are heroes; history is a drama, and everyone is the actor in it; you sing and I come on stage, there is no need for so many pure good and evil, and there are not so many destiny of all things.

From the plot of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, combined with the correction of official history, it gives people a bright view. The new view of the Three Kingdoms allows everyone to relive the war-torn and passionate history from a different perspective. It has been a long time since we could not extricate ourselves. Support the author's work and come on 666
The context is clear, the macro effect is good, the romance and the official history are combined ingeniously, and the angle is quite novel. From the first to the second part, I couldn't put it down, and I'm looking forward to the third part.
In addition, it is also very gratifying that the writing style does not easily add personal emotions and calmness.
2025·04·29: Spreading Flowers🌸 is as exciting as the first part, but it is a pity that heroes such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Zhao Yun and so on gradually withered in the long river of time. Continue to chase the next group, and look at Cao Rui, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei, Sun Quan, Lu Xun...
A little more realistic than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but still far from official history.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a book we have loved reading since childhood. This is one of our four great masterpieces in China. However, in order to pursue appeal, novels will give up some real things and instead pursue perfection and magic. This book breaks away from the limitations and imagination of novels and tells readers a completely true story with real details, allowing us to have an objective understanding of historical figures without blind worship. It also has greater educational value because of its authenticity.
Turn the tide before it falls, and support the building before it collapses.
The events are all true, but the author's subjectivity is indeed too strong. As a book that narrates history, it should not be
Like it, read it in one sitting
When it came, I thought it would be finished with just one volume.
Very good, very good
Good book, really a good book! ! ! Restore the true history
This book is very interesting. It reveals some fictional plots in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and allows us to see the other side of history. For example, the person who "borrows arrows from a straw boat" is actually Sun Quan, and the protagonist of "The Empty City Strategy" is Zhao Yun. Friends who like the Three Kingdoms must not miss it, it will bring you a lot of new inspiration and thinking. I especially like the portrayal of the characters in the book, which is very real and gives me a more comprehensive understanding of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other characters.
This book is very enlightening for fans of the Three Kingdoms, and can correctly understand the civil servants and generals in history! Very recommended!
Serious yet humorous! Beautiful!
This second part is also very exciting, but relatively speaking, there are more comments based on personal preferences, and it always feels a bit biased in some places.
It is not the Three Kingdoms in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You can understand the official history, but the author has some personal emotions in it.
A bit of a blend of Romance and Three Kingdoms
You can see how many Shu fans have double standards in the comment area [laughs]
If you don't understand Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms and Zizhi Tongjian, you can get started with this set of books.
After reading it, go to Douyin (Stories on the Map). Progress step by step. Interesting 🤔
The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes
This book far exceeds the original novel, increasing knowledge and insight.
It's great. I just finished the first one. I give the author a thumbs up.
It's very interesting, but I express too many personal opinions, and sometimes I don't agree with them.
