Back to the Three Kingdoms to Fight the Five Barbarians

The Five Barbarian Tribes? If it weren't for the Rebellion of the Eight Princes in the Jin Dynasty, where elite troops were utterly defeated, and Sima Yi's massacre in Liaodong, there would have been no Five Barbarian Tribes at all.

Based on research, it has been proposed that Lü Bu may have been a descendant of a minister of the Jin state and a member of the royal family of the Wei state, one of the Seven Warring States. Before the end of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms period, there were only two branches of the Lü clan in the world: the Jiang Lü and the Wei Lü.

Honestly, the Han Dynasty's war against the Xiongnu wasn't just barbarians fighting barbarians; it was a war between two empires. It wasn't the Han people crushing the Xiongnu; it was a victory achieved by the Han people trading three for one, or four for one. It's like those ridiculous anti-Japanese war dramas today—people born in a few decades will really think it was like tearing apart Japanese soldiers with bare hands.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Five Barbarian Tribes were weak; even at their peak, they would be defeated and killed unless they allied with figures like Dong Zhuo to contend with the major aristocratic families.

The Five Barbarian Invasions? Leaving aside the increasingly sophisticated weapons perfect for mounted warfare, such as stirrups, high-bridged saddles, and horse-drawn carriages, how could you possibly break through enemy defenses with weapons from the late Han Dynasty, given the advancements in iron smelting and forging techniques?

I just read four chapters, and it seems like a lot of people are using Crimson King as a reading tool. The book review section is a complete mess, with a bunch of people saying things without thinking.

The earlier dream was a bit ridiculous. You killed Temujin, Shi Le, and Tuoba, several top-tier strongmen among the various ethnic groups, ranking among the best in thousands of years of history. Isn't that laughable? Which of them didn't have tens of thousands of elite troops, low-level strategies, or personal bravery?

I hope the author will look into history. Back then, fighting foreign tribes was like beating a son, yet you've made it sound so tragic.

In the early and late Han Dynasty, martial prowess alone wasn't enough. Without connections and a privileged background, becoming an official was difficult. Buying an official position wasn't something you could do at will. In the early stages, you could only serve as a lackey of the Yuan family, and even becoming a warlord required being nominally affiliated with the Yuan family.

Are there so many comments in the comment section showing the lowest level of human intelligence?
