This start looks comfortable. The most comfortable opening I have seen in the Three Kingdoms. I am about to die of illness and kneel down to the Yellow Turban to ask for talisman water without saying a word. I really want to live. That sincere attitude of begging for life without hesitation in the face of death is true reality. I am just afraid of death, and I just want to live. I don't see any surprises later on. The protagonist is quite reliable. He has a flexible mind and knows when to do what. He has self-awareness in his heart. The bottom line is also very flexible. He treats morality as an optional task. It's really great.
Reliable! Reality! No procrastination! I personally don't like to pay too much attention to historical facts. It is appropriate to make reasonable actions based on the character's character and the impressions of future generations! The description of the war is very good, so the subsequent part of Guan Yu's pull is quite well written, and they are all cause and effect. The subsequent encounter with Yanren Zhang Fei is another confrontational plot worth looking forward to! The emotional line is a bit... Tortured, of course it's natural, so look forward to the follow-up. The overall setting depicts different Three Kingdoms, one of them dies first, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans start the game, which is down to earth!
This book is really good, especially the story about Lu Bu fighting for Diao Chan and Sun Wukong. Hundreds of battles converged, but Xue Baochai was indeed too strong. If it weren't for Nuo Shou's outer ring + Noxus Guillotine, this wave of m4 Shooting six times will kill you, but I am more concerned about what Zhuge Liang said to the 108 monkeys in Huaguo Mountain: "Young man is proud, don't show off in front of your brother Liang." It shows Zhuge Liang's indignation at the monkey who knocked him to death with three sticks. Luffy and Ultraman fought against each other for the sake of Rem, and the light was blasted for a whole episode. But Pikachu's skin is indeed too thick. If Yasuo hadn't blocked the 100,000 volts with a wind wall, and then followed it with a steel-cutting flash, this wave of turtle Qigong would have been interrupted. But I care more about Lin Daiyu. To the Avengers, the line "Brother Baoyu, are these weirdos wearing leather jackets coming to rob the Grand View Garden?" Shows Lin Daiyu's attitude towards Iron Man. Flying in the sky and not coming down. All in all, this book has an interesting plot, a clear system, and many foreshadowings. The fighting scenes feel like you are there, and the character descriptions are also very good.~ Meow
To be honest, it is not easy to keep secret the development of stirrups and horseshoes so early. If the nomads knew about it, the Han people would probably have a hard time. Stirrups and horseshoes were really introduced to nomads in the late Han Dynasty. The Han people are really finished. By then one Hu person will no longer be worth five Han people. There were literally thousands of nomadic cavalry using stirrups and horseshoes to attack the Han people. The late Han Dynasty was a time of chaos again. Many craftsmen were acquired by nomadic people, which is why Wuhuanhua. And then there was the rise of the Mongols. They are all closely related to the civil strife among the Han people. Civil strife led to an exodus of people, and Han craftsmen were plundered to the grasslands.
Chapter 52 contains the plot of giving away a girl. You can watch it at your own discretion. The rest is pretty good. I can't handle this. Let's go now.
This book is quite well written. Although there are still few chapters, it is pretty well written. I'm just curious about how the protagonist will develop in the future. After all, Liu Hua's identity, ahem The following content may contain spoilers, so book friends who don't want to read it may not read it. But I'm not sure if the author thinks so, because Liu Hua's identity has not been revealed yet. This can be regarded as a reasonable speculation based on what I have seen before. After all, the author writes about official history. But it may be that I'm overthinking @. If I offend, please forgive me. (Of course, I may be wrong. After all, the author hasn't written that yet. If it is right, if the author minds my spoilers, just @ me and I will delete this comment.) I see that many people think Liu Hua is too aloof. In fact, the author has already hinted: The Liu family in Hejian, An Neng is a thief. Let's talk about the Liu family in Hejian. The royal family had no choice but to run away. No one in the Eastern Han Dynasty dared to call the Liu family in Hejian except the royal family, because there is a King of Hejian with the surname Liu in Hejian, which is equivalent to the largest Liu family in the area. Which Liu family dares to falsely call the Liu family in Hejian? If anything, that's true courage. It's normal for the protagonist not to know. Unless he knows about that period of history, few people know about it. After all, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not mention such a Hejian king Liu Ye at all, because the full name of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There are very few records about the last four Hejian kings in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so Luo Guanzhong did not mention him in the book. But he lived for so long, until Cao Pi became emperor, which is confirmed by many historical materials. ("Li Li died in the twenty-eighth year, and his son Yi was the heir. In the forty-one year of the Lili reign, Wei accepted Zen and was considered Chongdehou." The latter was Liu Yi, the king of Hejian. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" Biography·Biography of the Eight Kings of Emperor Zhang) ("The princes of the Han Dynasty are called Chongdehou, and the princes are called Guanzhonghou." "Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, Chronicle of Emperor Wen") Note that there are only these two records [laughing and crying], so he can understand if Luo Guanzhong didn't write it, right? After all, in the popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this person appears in one sentence, and in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, he only has three sentences. It is hard to make up a plot [laughing and crying]. Here is a detailed analysis: Let's start from two aspects: 1. Hejian (King) Liu family: The five kings of Hejian were Liu Kai, Zheng, Jian, Li, and Wei (gai sounds) The first Hejian Xiaowang Liu Kai (son of Han Zhang Emperor Liu Jin, Liu Jin reigned for 22 years) (later posthumously named Emperor Xiaomu by Emperor Huan, as for why, I will talk about the emperor later) You can just skip the King of Hejian in the middle. After all, those two died after being in office for 10 years. They died after being addicted to it. Only the last two terms can be in line with the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty. Liu Li, the fourth king of Hejian An, died in 180 and reigned for 28 years. The fifth king of Hejian, Liu Bei, succeeded to the throne in 180 and reigned for 42 years. The specific reason why Liu Ye's title was vacant is unknown, because the titles of princes in the Han Dynasty were all given by the emperor while they were alive. It may be because they were demoted later, or it may be that Liu Hong or Liu Xie didn't bother to give him a title at all. (The sky has been dark since the 180s) The Yellow Turban Uprising was in 184, so Liu Hua, the Liu family of Hejian, if it is true that her father is still alive, then there is a high probability that they are the children of the Liu Li brothers, who are the cousins of the current King of Hejian. Then there is a high probability that her father is (low to high) Ting, Duting, Xiang, Duxiang Marquis, or even County Marquis. If her father is still alive, it is a lie. It is just an excuse for her not to reveal her true identity (after all, except for her father, few relatives will recommend filial piety, integrity, talent, and virtuousness to the daughter-in-law. [Note] Don't complain when you see talent. The Han Dynasty's imperial examination system mainly promoted "filial piety, integrity," "talent and talent," and "virtuous and upright.") (However, Liu Li reigned for 28 years, which is documented in history (Book of the Later Han Dynasty). It would not be impossible if he had her after four years in office. It is possible, the author wrote that she was 27 or 8 years old. I have every reason to suspect that it was intentional by the author [laughing and crying] otherwise it would be too coincidental) Then she is probably the daughter of the late king Liu Li, the half-sister of the current king Liu Ye, that is, the princess (the daughter of a prince in the Han Dynasty is the princess, and the daughter of the emperor is the princess). Seeing as she told the protagonist that she could ignore him being a yellow scarf and give him an official position, I guess she has a pretty good relationship with the current king of Hejian Liu Ye. 2. Relationship with the royal family Let's first talk about the concept of the five kinship services in ancient times. The concept of Wufu existed as early as the Zhou Dynasty. Later, Confucianism gradually improved the Five Clothes, and slowly formed the Nine Clans and Five Clothes diagram. Because only those who were in the Five Clothes needed to mourn, the saying "going out of the Five Clothes does not count as a marriage" gradually came into being. The five-service diagram is divided into nine generations. From top to bottom, they are great-grandparents, great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, themselves, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. The horizontal lines are self, relatives, tang, subordinates, and clan. In the five-service diagram, men and women are lined up on both sides, roughly forming a ◇. The view of the Wufu Diagram is that from the ancestor to the peers, it gradually spreads (viewed diagonally). The peer downwards is a vertical relationship, while the descendants of the same generation shrink once each generation, forming a ◇ Below is the first quadrant centered on Ling Emperor Liu Hong, plus a row of descendants below, (Gaozu) Liu Jin (Emperor Zhang of Han Dynasty) (Great-grandfather) Liu Kai (King Xiao of Hejian, Emperor Huan posthumously named Emperor Xiaomu) (grandfather) Liu Shu/Liu Zheng (uncle) (Father) Liu Chang/Uncle/Liu Jian (uncle) (Lingdi) Liu Hong/brother/cousin/Liu? (From brothers)/clan brothers (Abandoned) Debate Association/nephew/cousin/Liu Hua (niece)/out of the fifth service Here you will find that Emperor Huan Ling is not father and son. Emperor Huan Liu Zhi's father Liu Yi and Emperor Ling Liu Hong's grandfather Liu Shu are brothers, and they are both sons of Liu Kai. As for why he was so confused, Gein Donghan Kindergarten Let's do it again: the five kings of Hejian were Liu Kai, Zheng, Jian, Li, and Yi. Regardless of whether her father is Liu Li or Liu Li's brother, it is enough as long as her grandfather is Liu Jian. This is enough to prove that she is a relative (niece) of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty. And several well-known clansmen in the late Han Dynasty Liu Bei, a descendant of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty) Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, who has the same name as Liu Xiu's son Zhongshan King Liu Yan, is a descendant of King Lu Gong Liu Yu, son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (ibid.) Liu Biao is also a descendant of Liu Yu (ibid.) Liu Yu is a descendant of Donghai Gong Wang Liu Qiang, the eldest son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (he is the closest to the contemporary family among the clansmen in the late Han Dynasty, but he is also beyond the fifth server) The brothers Liu Dai and Liu Yao are said to be descendants of Liu Fei. Who is Liu Fei? Liu Bang's eldest son, the concubine's eldest son, is rated as outrageous. There is no way to verify whether this incident is true or false. So, sister, kill me [give your heart]
Yes, the writing is smooth, the plot is compact, the protagonist is decisive and resourceful in killing, and it is flesh and blood. It feels very real. It is a very good Three Kingdoms novel. The author has worked hard. I commend it.
To be honest, it is a very good and interesting book. Some points were not explained in time in the early stage, which caused misunderstandings. It does not matter. After all, they will usually be explained in the next chapter. But now I still feel very uncomfortable when I see Cai Zhaoji getting married. According to the author's intention, she was one of the harem and did not run away, but since she still married someone else despite already knowing her, I personally cannot accept this plot. I can accept it even if they are already married when we first met, but it is the feeling that my favorite character is ntr that makes me unable to accept it. (Although I was actually ntr by someone else, this feeling is as hard to accept as if I was ntr) In fact, the author's writing is very rigorous and the overall writing is very good, but I personally still have a mental mysophobia and cannot accept it. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If the author wants to write it rigorously, he won't be able to take care of the feelings of our group. In fact, I can understand it. The ideal situation would be for So-hee to put her marriage on hold for some reason, and then wait until the protagonist develops enough to become a real person with the protagonist. Of course, this will undoubtedly be criticized. Finally, the book is a good book, and I give it five stars. But it is a pity that the book must be abandoned because of this.
The writing is good, one of the few Three Kingdoms novels that I want to read in one sitting. Come on.
There are very few Three Kingdoms novels that pay attention to official history. We must support them! If you have read too many novels, you can read this to change your taste. Although the writing is refreshing, it pays attention to logic and is very interesting.
