Understanding of Romance of 3 Kingdoms

gr2012 SG

Kong Ming died before the war ended, right?

Actually, most of the original characters had died when the Sima guys took over.

But blardy Liu Bei died of GRIEF.

WHO THE HELL DIES LIKE THAT?

Even worse, Zhang Fei was killed in a bar fight...such a fierce and powerful warrior, getting killed in a bar fight.

xfool SG

bar fight?

In the novel Zhang Fei was killed in his sleep by his subordinates who later deflect to Wu

Laughing One thing that you must agree that Kong Ming is a great talker...he out talked the minister and scholar of East Wu country..Even scholar eat dung when talking to him.

I would chose to debate on a particular topic openly a one to one basic when I know.. Embarassed I am no Kong Ming

king108 SG

Cool Seven defeats (capture) and seven releases of "Mang Hou". This parts of the stories show that Kong Ming was good when handling barbarians.

Why did he do that and no killing him on the first, second or third times..giving 7 chances to opponents is stupid? smart? or too free nothing to do?

Will us in real life do that to our opponent..as long as you are human..the answer can be never..

I think Kong Ming's move is smart. Like "Han Zhong Wang" never killed the Qin surrendered soldiers, while "Chu Ba Wang" killed a lot because of his loved woman "Ji"

In real life, I never go after a scared dog to a dead corner, cause he may bite me at all cost..Hence, it is good to let the opponent to have a retreat route so that they will surrender with less resistance.

However, the smartest move may be buying their heart if they are loyal to their old bosses, else can considered removing him when you have replacement.

No all opponents are no good for you. History does show us that we can have talented opponent giving their service if you respected them.

Any comments. Laughing

I believe the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has wrongly put an emphasis on war strategies and intrigues. This is harmful for society.

king108 SG

Laughing Will till date, yet majority of the reader believed. Hence, you will have to start a thread crushing them down..I wish you good luck if you going to explore it's harmfulness.
For me, "Ke Wei Zi Er We Zi" Crying or Very sad

dragg SG

i find it silly.

how many actually died or got injured just to make him 'fu' kong ming?

king108 SG

Laughing Some times, you got not choice, especially barbarians..You must make sure they "Xin Fu Koa Fu" else they will rebel anytime.. Do you wanted your backyard burned while fighting the wolves attacking your chickens.

Hence, it's worth to have the soldier died for the name. Else you will have likely more soldier dieing for no name later..

Nelstar SG

It's a novel.

Not history.

Laughing

Regardless, it's teaching. Laughing

xfool SG

its based on history,most of the characters and events did exists back then

Cool I wishes to talk about the supply of 100 thousands arrows to Zhou Yu promised by Kong Ming.

I think most of us know about the story..I may talk about it later. Now, I would like to concentrate on delivery of promises.

Must respect Kong Ming although he mainly borrowed the arrows from Cao Cao, but minimum he had delivered a promise to Zhou Yu.

J1N2T3 SG

thats why the China people always fight among themselves, they cannot unite to fight against foreigners, they should learn to use the tactics on foreign attacks instead of on themselves.

king108 SG

Well, I do agreed with you on the point that Chineses are know better for fighting each other internally while no as united as others when dealing with foreigner invaders. However, their tactic is better than other in actual facts which cannot be doubted. Laughing

king108 SG

Laughing I shall continue from here, in actual fact, Kong Ming bullied Cao Cao cause he knew that Cao Cao is very curious and wouldn't send his ships to attack when he is no sure of the enemy's forces.

Hence, Kong Ming choosed a early morning with heavy fog, Cao Cao was scared that his enemies really attacked and hence ordered his archers to shoot without target.

On that very day, Kong Ming delivered his promise to Zhou Yu with the 100 thousand arrows.

I respected Kong Ming for delivering what he promised regardless of knowing Zhou Yu will be his future enemy. Do you?
