Liu Bei Strikes Back

Zhao Zhong is dead, so let me talk about the late Han Dynasty from my perspective... Although the Ten Attendants were not exactly benevolent, they were certainly not stupid. At the end of the Han Dynasty, morale was low, and eunuchs, imperial relatives, and aristocratic families were constantly fighting amongst themselves.

Currently, it seems that the "heavenly book" Liu Bei received is the most useful. The barefoot doctor skill is useful for battlefield medical care and pacifying the people; the dual-use talent skill is suitable for talent development; and the "100,000 Whys" book broadens horizons and enhances abilities. Cao Cao's "required course in Chinese language" is completely useless. 🤭

The biggest problem with this book is that it had a great idea, but was written by an author whose ideas are hard to understand. The addition of the time-traveler's Heavenly Book disrupted the plot. What readers wanted to see was the development and changes of each faction after the Heavenly Book was obtained, and the changes caused by the Heavenly Book.

The book is great, awesome! (/≧▽≦/) However, I think each era has its own characteristics and cannot be copied verbatim. Take firearms, for example. The arquebus described in *Tiangong Kaiwu* (The Exploitation of the Heavenly Palace) required a skilled worker to drill for two weeks to produce just one barrel.

Liu Bei is hard to attract people because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms portrays Shu Han in a very negative light 😰, so basically no one likes Liu Bei.

Modern science cannot save the ancient times, and Liu Bei, who acquired modern knowledge, could not save ancient China either. This is because Liu Bei was one of those who hindered the progress of the times. They represented landlords, gentry, and Confucian scholars.

The *Arm Record* consists of four volumes and an appendix. Volume One mainly includes the *Discourse on the King of Spears*, the *Origin and Development of the Shi Family Spear*, the *Discourse on the Root of the Spear*, the *Discourse on the Six Families of Spears*, the *Discourse on Transformation*, and the *Discourse on Short-to-Long Spear*.

Seeing that some people are criticizing Kong Rong in the comments, I'll talk about Kong Rong's dark history. First: Abandoning his wife and children. When Kong Rong was the Chancellor of Beihai, Yuan Tan led troops to attack Beihai. Kong Rong was quite capable, holding out for six months as a scholar. But...

The formula is good, but the writing style is a bit slow, which suits my taste (hey, should I mark this as a featured post?).

I created a book club group: 9264 50816 Regarding Zhang Fei's specific image and whether he was cultured, I wrote a research article in the section related to the work, which you can read if you are interested.
