Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su Is Too Steady

On this day, Ma Su asked Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister, our Shu Han is clearly far inferior to Wei, so why do we always dare to attack Wei, while Wei is so afraid of us? Does the Prime Minister really not fear defeat?" Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang did not answer but asked in return: "Youchang, then tell me, why is Zhang Fei not afraid of Lü Bu and always dares to challenge him to a duel?

This book is quite entertaining when read in a comedic style. The most problematic part so far is the chapter on beast control; it would be better if it could be made more logical. Otherwise, many people leave before the story unfolds! Actually, after reading more, the book is quite good and funny.

Zhong Hui's campaign against Shu is one of the most enigmatic stories of the late Three Kingdoms period. There are three unsolved mysteries. First, why did Jiang Wei, who still had tens of thousands of troops, surrender without a fight? Second, Zhong Hui was deeply trusted by Sima Zhao, so why did he rebel?

Zhang He actually has 100,000 cavalry... To attack Jieting... That's outrageous! How much is Cao Cao's total army? At least a million? Everyone else has only a few thousand, and you suddenly have 100,000 cavalry? It's truly shocking. How much supplies would it take to feed and maintain 100,000 cavalry? Could they even afford to keep them?

After reading the first few chapters, I thought, "Damn, Zhuge Liang's strategy is actually inferior to the protagonist's. What's the point of Zhuge Liang then? Just to let the protagonist show off?"

The author claims that 20,000 regular soldiers, even when building fortifications in narrow mountain passes, could not defeat 50,000 cavalry, and shamelessly asserts that 20,000 men could not withstand the charge of 50,000 cavalry. First, the narrow mountain roads made it impossible for cavalry to pass, forcing them to dismount and fight, thus making it impossible for them to charge and unleash…

This is unbelievable! Does this guy have no common sense at all? I have no problem with you saying 20,000 infantry can't beat 50,000 cavalry, and I can barely argue with you saying cavalry can take on eight men at once. But I can't accept your claim that 50,000 cavalry equals 400,000 infantry. If that's the case, what's the point of having 20,000 infantry defending? They could drown you in a single bath!

Watching it without thinking is fine, but watching it with your brain is really uncomfortable. They weren't that bad off, and the ancient wooden barrel city walls weren't like the fast-paced industrialization of modern times. The wooden barrels, winnowing baskets, armor, and other supplies used in battle were entirely dependent on existing stockpiles.

Don't try to read it with your brain; it just uses names and place names from the Three Kingdoms period. Otherwise, it's completely different. If you remove those details, it's still a readable and quite enjoyable book.

Who was more capable in real history, Sima Yi or Zhuge Liang? According to official historical records, Sima Yi was born in 179 AD, and Zhuge Liang was born in 181 AD. The two were two years apart. However, Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, was the son of the Prefect of Yingchuan, a typical second-generation official.
