Into the book
However, the three of them drink all night and become close at a rapid pace.
Perhaps because it was a time when corrupt people in power were rampant, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei seemed to think that Guan Yu, who had beaten people to death, was a man of great chivalry and justice.
The cheat key for Romance of the Three Kingdoms, 'A hero knows another hero', comes out at this time.
The three of them naturally joined together and shouted, “Let’s not join the volunteer army, let’s just create a volunteer army!”
--- From "Chapter 1: Who Can You Trust in Chaos?"
The ten-year-old guys also made their own oath of loyalty.
But these people, who were not wizards, committed magic whenever they had the chance.
It's official magic! Official positions had official price lists based on rank.
It was sold openly.
Even to maintain that position, you had to pay a regular fee, like a subscription service these days, so it was the worst possible situation.
--- From "Chapter 1: Who Can You Trust in Chaos?"
Cao Cao, who heard the proposal of Lu Bu, who was the best in terms of military power, consulted with Liu Bei, but Liu Bei immediately responded as follows.
“Haven’t you seen the affairs of Jeongwon and Dong Zhuo?” Jeongwon and Dong Zhuo are both names of Lu Bu’s adoptive fathers.
If you spare Lu Bu, you will be the third victim to be betrayed.
This is a user review of Ubisoft.
You've used Lu Bu before, right? So you know that Lu Bu is a cursed demon sword.
When Liu Bei says, "Lu Bu deserves half a star!", Cao Cao also feels the same way.
--- From "Chapter 4: Humans Repeat the Same Mistakes"
Guan Yu was repeatedly blocked by Cao Cao's men as he passed through the five checkpoints of Dongling Pass, Luoyang, Sishui Pass, Xingyang, and Huizhou.
Every time, I just solve it by force.
In today's terms, it would be like ignoring passport control at the airport and just going through.
The idiom that came out of this scene is 'Wugan Chamjang (五關斬將)'.
It is also called ‘Five Passes and Six Slashes’.
It means passing through five gates and beheading six generals, and is a metaphor for overcoming layers of difficulties.
--- From "Chapter 6: You Can't Catch Those Who Are Going, and You Can't Stop Those Who Are Coming"
“If you, General, want to achieve hegemony, yield the north to Cao Cao, yield the south to Sun Quan, General, first take Jing Province and use it as a base, then take Yi Province and establish a foundation, so that the three sides face each other like the legs of a cauldron.” Zhuge Liang said that rather than trying to conquer Cao Cao and Sun Quan, he should first divide the world into three and create a tight balance.
This is the famous policy called 'Division of the World into Three Parts'.
Liu Bei only thought about attacking Cao Cao, but now Zhuge Liang is speaking.
“Let’s start with the weight class.”
--- From "Chapter 7: Those Who Win People Accomplish Their Purposes"
This scene is the highlight of the Battle of Red Cliffs.
The pouring fire arrows would have started to set fire here and there on Cao Cao's ships.
Also, because the fire was tying up all the ships, the fire spread like dominoes to each ship.
In short, it became hell.
Besides, since it's floating, there's nowhere to run.
Cao Cao, after listening to Pang Tong's advice, must have watched as the ships he had connected like a large playground burned down without a moment to act.
Countless soldiers and ships would have been burned or drowned.
In this single battle, Cao Cao's army was defeated miserably.
--- From "Chapter 8: The Rise and Fall of the World Repeats Itself"
"According to Wei Yan's face, the back of his head is rebellious, so he will definitely rebel in the future. It would be best to kill him now to eliminate the cause of trouble." They say that someone who resists power and authority without compromising has a rebellious spirit. This word "rebellious" (反骨) also originates from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
More precisely, it is a word that describes the shape of the back of Wei Yan's head.
If you break down the Chinese characters for "rebellion," it means "bones standing upside down." But what on earth was the shape of Wei Yan's head that led to such an expression? Wei Yan's head was bumpy.
The incus is the slightly sunken part below the back of the head, and this refers to the incus not being sunken in but sticking out.
If this part protrudes, it is said that there is a tendency to rebel.
As Zhuge Liang said, Wei Yan rebelled.
So from then on, the word ‘rebellion’ came to be used to mean ‘to plot a rebellion.’
Perhaps because it was a time when corrupt people in power were rampant, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei seemed to think that Guan Yu, who had beaten people to death, was a man of great chivalry and justice.

Publisher's Review
The true fun of the best classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the East is compressed.
The birth of a new storytelling Three Kingdoms!
Many people are well aware of the reputation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is considered one of the greatest classics of the East, but they rarely dare to read it.
Even people who start reading with determination often give up halfway through.
Why? The sheer number of characters, hundreds of battles, and complex Chinese characters are mind-boggling.
《New Romance of the Three Kingdoms》 was created for those who hesitated before reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, wondering, "Can't I conquer this long and difficult story in one fun way?"
This is because it unravels the vast narrative of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms into just eight crucial scenes, while also presenting highly immersive storytelling based on clear commentary.
The Battle of Red Cliffs, considered the highlight of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is a battle in which Liu Bei, with only 10,000 soldiers, formed an alliance with Sun Quan and won against Cao Cao, who led an army of 500,000.
This book depicts the dramatic and dramatic reversal of the Battle of Red Cliffs in a thrilling, cinematic manner, from the genius strategist Zhuge Liang's ingenious plan to procure 100,000 arrows in a single day to Zhou Yu's Gao-leuk strategy, in which he deceived his own troops and used a decisive move to turn the tide of an unfavorable situation.
Because the entire story unfolds densely around the main characters and events, the flow is naturally organized in your head, allowing you to experience the true fun and essence of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, once perceived as difficult and complex, will finally be presented as a vivid and three-dimensional drama.
“Read it smoothly even without background knowledge or historical knowledge!”

Meet the easiest Three Kingdoms
This book, which contains the stories that form the backbone of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, verified on TV, and the delightful reinterpretation of the self-proclaimed master of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chimpanzee Man, is a book that you can read smoothly without getting stuck once you open it.
You can find perfect metaphors and eye-level explanations that you can't find anywhere else, such as "The cheat key for Romance of the Three Kingdoms, 'A hero knows another hero'", "Liu Bei, who left a user review saying 'Lu Bu deserves half a star!'", and "The magic of selling official positions that required periodic donations like a subscription service".
In addition, due to time constraints, it adds deeper context and interpretation, such as stories and classic illustrations that could not be shown on the broadcast, and comparisons between the official historical text “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” and the novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” to make it more informative and enjoyable.
The story of the Three Kingdoms also contains the origins of expressions that are widely used today, such as ‘rebel’, ‘gyeruk’, ‘red hare horse’, and ‘waryong and bonchu’.
《New Romance of the Three Kingdoms》 explains in an easy and fun way, using modern language, when and in what context words we have heard but do not know in detail were created.
You can learn the general knowledge contained in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms without any burden as there is no stiff writing style or difficult old sayings.
The reason why the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been recognized as a living, breathing classic, not simply a tale of the past, is because it offers wisdom that is relevant to today.
If you want to experience the essence contained within easily and lightly, this book will be the best introduction.
In the life scenario of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms
Here are some hints on life that we need right now!
The true value of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms lies in learning from the attitudes toward life displayed by its heroes.
"How did the characters in crisis overcome their hardships in Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" As you follow the story, you'll discover that Romance of the Three Kingdoms serves as a guidebook for learning the survival strategies necessary to survive and thrive in chaotic times, both past and present.
By observing the characters' rise and fall, we can learn the art of knowing when to step forward and when to retreat, and the strategy of turning a crisis into an opportunity.
Furthermore, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms not only contains stories of people fighting for world dominance, but also moments when one person meets another and develops aspirations.
Their meeting and decision move the times and complete a long story.
So, every time we read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we end up seeing ‘people’ again.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not just an old and distant story, but it remains with us as a living story that transcends time because it allows us to see ourselves reflected in it.
I hope that everyone living within the relationship between me and us will find an opportunity to find their own life strategy through this book.
