Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a must-read book before you die, but honestly, I feel like it's too difficult to read properly.
Nevertheless, there is also a saying, “Don’t even talk to someone who hasn’t read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms at least three times.”
No, you wrote something so difficult that I had to read it three times! Honestly, I think six out of ten readers would give up halfway through.
Do you think the four people who read to the end understood everything? Probably not.
Three of them watched it all the way through, but the content was still confusing and unclear.
Maybe only one person broke the flow.
Ultimately, the saying that you should only talk to people who have read it three times means that you have to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms at least three times to get the flow and the characters to stick in your head.
That means it's a complex and difficult book to read.


So! I tried to write it so that it's easy to read, with friendly voice support, above all else.
(Omitted) I only summarized the major regions and boldly omitted the repetitive battle situations.
Instead, we focused on the lessons and messages we needed to learn, such as Altolan, and added to the fun of following the storyline, thereby enhancing the dramatic effect.
Since the content has always been interesting, people are able to immerse themselves in it.
Seol Min-seok's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is easy to read, has tried to make it easy to understand the entire story even after reading it just once.
I am sure that readers will find it enjoyable and engaging.
---From the "Prologue"

The two people entered the tavern, ordered drinks, and sat down.
Only then did Liu Bei look closely at the face of the man named Zhang Fei.

'Hmm, it looks like a tiger, rough and fierce, but the more I look at it, the cuter it becomes.
Hehe.'
The equipment had a rough voice and a bulky build, but its eyes were burning with the purity of a child.
And when he got drunk, he started talking like this, making a slightly nasal sound.

“Brother! You are older than me, so from now on, I will treat you like my brother.”
Just as Yu-bi burst into laughter at the unexpected charm of the equipment, another large man entered the inn.

“Madam, bring a bottle of alcohol.”
At the voice that made the sky clear, Yubi was startled again.

'Today is such a strange day.
My heart has never been so startled like a rabbit.'
When Yu-bi looked at him, he saw a man standing there, nine feet taller than Zhang Fei, a full two meters tall.
The appearance was just as extraordinary as the equipment.
The hair on the head reached down to his chest, his eyes were like a phoenix's, and his eyebrows looked like those of a silkworm lying down.
Moreover, his beard was so long that it reached down to his navel, and his face was burning like a ripe jujube.

“Master, bring the alcohol quickly. I have somewhere to drink and then go.”
“Oh my, what’s the rush?”
He spoke solemnly, not paying attention to the hostess's snort.

“I’m going to drink and join the volunteer army.”
At that moment, Jangbi and Yubi's eyes met.

'This is definitely'
When two people looked at the man at the same time, the three people's eyes exchanged tingles.

“By any chance, what is your name…?”
When Yu-bi asked politely using an honorific, he seemed to feel something and answered honestly.

“My name is Guan Yu.
I'm from Hadong, and when a local local leader (a local power) started exploiting me to the point of going too far, I tried to help him out, but I ended up killing him unintentionally.
I was on the run, and I just saw a room recruiting troops to hunt the Yellow Turban Bandits.
“I am going to die anyway, so I want to die for my country, so I am on my way to volunteer for the army.”
For a moment, a glimmer of hope crossed Yubi's face.

“Perhaps today will be a very lucky day for me.
“We share the same sentiment, so let’s have a drink.”
---From "The Oath of the Peach Garden, the Lucky Day of the Three Liu Bei Brothers"

“No, I don’t fall for such obvious lies, so how can you say that a master who has attained enlightenment would be fooled?”
“It must be my mother’s handwriting.”
“No, the handwriting isn’t important, it’s just a ruse.
I know Cao Cao well, and although he may be ruthless and cunning, he is not so low as to imprison and kill an old woman.”
"My lord, how could I not know that? But no matter how much one understands the ways of the world, one is still inexperienced in one's own affairs.
To me, it would be unfilial to leave my mother alone in Cao Cao's camp.
"How can I act as a proper advisor to you, my lord, in such a wavering state of mind? I must go."
Yubi began to sob.

“I finally met a capable strategist and was able to put my ideas to work, but I am afraid I will not be able to spend long with you due to my lack of luck.
I hope you meet a good lord and achieve your goals.”
Seo Seo answered while crying.

“A man lacking wisdom and talent has greatly benefited from his lord’s grace.
The only reason I had to leave so unfortunately is because of my mother who lives alone.
“No matter how much Cao Cao persecutes you, he will never become your enemy and will not think of a plan, so don’t worry.”
---From "A Fateful Passage, Yubi Standing with Tears in His Eyes, Sending Off the Letter"

In fact, Sun Quan must have been afraid of Zhou Yu as well.
But it was not a sword, but a sincere embrace of the enemy within.
Historically, leaders have used various methods to organize internal forces.
In the case of King Taejong Lee Bang-won, the third king of Joseon, he shed blood with a sword.
From Jeong Mong-ju, a civil servant at the end of the Goryeo Dynasty, to Jeong Do-jeon, who made great contributions to the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, they were all eliminated.
My older brother, Banggan, who caused the uproar, was also sent home.
He strengthened his royal authority by expelling all those who disagreed with him or tried to foster opposition.
On the other hand, Taejo Wang Geon, who founded Goryeo, showed leadership that embraced the enemy.
He embraced local aristocrats who threatened his royal authority by granting them the surname Wang through a policy of excluding them, and he also entered into political marriages with their daughters.
He also demonstrated inclusive leadership by implementing the "Yeokbunjeon" system, which distributed land to the meritorious subjects who founded Goryeo according to their roles.
Sun Quan was a leader who won loyalty with sincerity, just like Wang Geon of Goryeo.
A leader who knows how to make people truly his own by embracing the enemy within, that is Sun Quan.
