Big Data X Teens X Three Kingdoms
Finally, the world becomes one again!
The final story of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu unfolds!
Three emperors in three countries, but only one can ultimately prevail!

One of the charms of the masterpiece 『Romance of the Three Kingdoms』, which transcends time and borders, is the vivid movements of the characters, each displaying their own vitality.
Some people are loyal to the Han Dynasty and try to revive it, while others defeat their rivals to become emperor themselves.
The world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is intense and exciting because so many colorful characters clash with each other.
This conflict is at its peak in Volume 3 of 『Romance of the Three Kingdoms: A Must-Know for Teenagers in the Big Data Era』.

After the Battle of Red Cliffs, the Chinese mainland began to move around the three figures: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan.
Cao Cao wields more power than anyone else in the central government, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan are in sharp conflict over the Jing Province region.
Meanwhile, Xun Yu blocks Cao Cao from taking over the throne, and Zhang Song summons Liu Bei to the land of Xichu to prevent Zhang Lu's invasion.
Meanwhile, Sun Quan dispatched Lu Meng and Lu Xun to take over Jingzhou, which was defended by Guan Yu, and this can be said to be the essence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The days when winning a fight or two could secure power are over.
In the era of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu, where strategy and strategy, nation against nation, determined the outcome of war through meticulous planning and a broad perspective.
The victories and defeats decided by the greatest strategists, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Sima Yi, Jiang Wei, and Lu Xun, with their amazing imagination, still provide a thrill to us living today.

The third volume of 『Romance of the Three Kingdoms: A Must-Know for Teens in the Big Data Era』 covers the period from the Battle of Red Cliffs, when Cao Cao destroyed the Han Dynasty, to the process in which Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan each created the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu and fought against each other, and finally, to the founding of the Qin Dynasty by Sima Yan.
The struggle of the leaders to become the sole emperor who rules the Chinese continent is more than enough to decorate the splendid finale of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In the latter half of 『Romance of the Three Kingdoms』, a more unique story unfolds.
Zhuge Liang's greatest achievements during his lifetime, the conquest of the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Expedition, as well as the power struggle between the Cao and Sima families in Wei, are thrilling.
Yesterday's enemies become today's allies, and it's no longer surprising to be betrayed by the very allies you trusted with your back. Volume 3 of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: A Must-Know for Teenagers in the Big Data Era" depicts with suspense the history of the struggle, a struggle that never ended until the three kingdoms became one.
Additionally, the chronology of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms included at the end of the book will be of great help in reviewing the numerous stories we have shared so far.

Despite his major defeat in the war, Macho's personal reputation grew even further.
Cao Cao had fought countless battles by this time.
Among them, the most humiliating battles were when he met Guan Yu at the Battle of Red Cliffs and Huarong Island.
However, Ma Chao was the only general who had Cao Cao humiliate by making him take off his clothes and cut off his beard.
This is why Ma Chao's martial arts and bravery shine so brightly despite being a loser.

Jang Song thought as he returned to Seochok.
'I originally intended to test Cao Cao's character and then offer him the land of Xishu.
So I secretly brought the map of the 41st week of Seocho.
But who would have thought that Cao Cao would react like this just because I said something nice?'
Zhang Song, disappointed in Cao Cao, went to see Liu Bei in Jing Province.
I came here shouting at Yujang, but I couldn't go back empty-handed.

After a while, Cao Cao held a banquet, and suddenly a servant appeared there.
“You have prepared a lot of delicious food, befitting a grand banquet.
“If there is any food you would like, I will prepare it for you.”
Cao Cao answered.
“I want to eat soup made with dragon liver.
“Use your supernatural powers and prepare something.”
Then, the person in charge drew a dragon with a brush and then wiped the drawing with the sleeve of his robe.
Then, surprisingly, the dragon's belly in the picture split open.
When the monk put his hand into the dragon's stomach and pulled out its liver, blood dripped out.
People's eyes widened in surprise.

While Cao Cao was worried, Xiahou Dun came to him and asked him to decide on a military name to use at night.
Cao Cao decided to call it chicken ribs, or gyeol-reuk.
When Yang Xiu heard this, he told Xiahou Dun that it would be best to prepare to withdraw.
Xiahou Dun was puzzled and asked the reason.
“Withdrawal? What does that mean?”
To this Yangsu replied:
“Seeing that the military command has been set as Gyereuk, the order to withdraw troops will come down soon.
Think about it.
If you try to eat chicken ribs, there isn't much meat, and if you try to throw them away, it's a shame.
“Isn’t this war similar to chicken ribs?”
Hahou Dun, who sympathized with Yang Su's words, prepared to withdraw his troops.
When Cao Cao learned of this, he was very angry.

Sun Quan urged the captured Guan Yu to surrender.
"I thought you were invincible, General, but how did you end up captured by my subordinates? Isn't this the will of Heaven, that you surrender to me and serve the Eastern Wu? It's not too late, so join me."
But Guan Yu's attitude was steadfast.
Guan Yu did not betray Liu Bei despite all of Cao Cao's attempts to persuade him.
"Shut up! How could a mortal like you understand the true meaning of a general? I have formed a pact with Yu Hwang-suk and have dedicated myself to the sole purpose of reviving the Han imperial family.
How could I, a man like you, join hands with a traitor? I have been caught in your treacherous schemes, and there is only death ahead of me.”
After Guan Yu finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless like a stone Buddha.

A heartbroken Liu Bei lay in bed sick, lost in grief as he thought about the deaths of his two younger brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Perhaps because of his old age, Yubi's condition did not improve even with medicine and worsened.
Liu Bei had a premonition that his days were numbered.
He called Gongmyeong, who was in the castle, to ask for advice for the future.
Gongming took Liu Bei's two sons, Liu Young and Liu Yu, and went to Baekje Castle.
Prince Yoo Seon defended the city.
When Gongming arrived, Yubi took his hand and said.
“I achieved the great task of establishing the country by becoming a prime minister.
Please bring peace to the country with your outstanding talents.
“If my son, Yoo Seon, has the talent to rule the world, then help him. If not, then you become the master of Shu and accomplish a great undertaking.”

Gongming treated the Nanman generals and soldiers, including Meng Huo, Meng Yu, Lady Zhu Rong, and Da Lai Dong Zhu, to food and drinks, and then sent them all away.
Then Meng Huo shed tears and said:
“There has never been an instance in history where an enemy was captured seven times and then released all of them.
“Although I am not a citizen of the Han Dynasty, at least I know what etiquette is. How could I be shameless?”
Meng Huo immediately went to Gongming's barracks, took off his upper garment, knelt down, and apologized.
"Having received such a heavenly favor from the Prime Minister, how could I not surrender? From now on, we Nanman people will never again rebel against Shu Han."

Gongmyeong heard from Wangpyeong how his family had been taken away and summoned Masok.
Masok tied himself up and knelt before Gongmyeong, begging to be punished.
Gongmyeong harshly rebuked Masok.
“You did not listen to Wang Ping’s advice and brought about defeat.
As a result, we lost all the castles we captured, and countless soldiers lost their precious lives.
Although I care for you, I have no choice but to punish you according to military law.
So don't blame me.
“Don’t worry, I will take care of your family even after you die.”
Masok lowered his head.
“I know very well that Your Majesty loves me more than anyone else.
I also served the Prime Minister like a father.
I deserve to die.
But please don't blame my children for their father's mistakes.
“If you do that, I will die without any regrets.”
Gongmyeong felt sorry.
“Don’t worry, your child will soon be my child.”
Soon, Masok was beheaded, and Gongmyeong cried out in sorrow.
And after burying the horse, he comforted his family and took care of them so that they could live comfortably as promised.

According to the people of this region, when the Shu Han army withdrew, they pulled a cart carrying a coffin with a white flag in front.
Looking at it, it is clear that the resonance is dead.
Also, it is said that the resonance that was sitting on the cart on the day we attacked the Five Jangwon was a fake resonance carved out of wood.”
Sima Yi sighed deeply.
“I only figured out that Gongmyeong was alive, but I didn’t realize that he was dead.”
After this incident, a rumor spread among the people that 'the dead Zhuge Liang forced the living Sima Yi to escape.'

Wei Yan took a moment to catch his breath and then shouted loudly.
“Who dares to kill me?”
Before the shouting could even end, someone suddenly shouted loudly from behind Wei Yan.
“I will kill you!”
Before Wei Yan could even turn around, the blade flashed and Wei Yan's head fell to the ground and rolled around.
Everyone looked on in surprise, and the person who had cut off Wei Yan's head was none other than Ma Dai.
As it turned out, before Gongmyeong died, he called Madai and asked if Wei Yan would shout, "Who dares to kill me?"
He ordered that his head be cut off without mercy.

In the end, Yooseon did not listen to his son and ordered officials to chase him out of the palace gate.
And he sent three people, Jangso, Dengyang, and Chuju, to Deng Ai to present the surrender document and the royal seal.
When Yu Sim heard the news, he was so angry that he committed suicide in front of Yu Bei's shrine.
The next day, when Liu Shan advanced to 10 li outside the castle and surrendered to Deng Ai, Deng Ai appointed Liu Shan as General of the Guard and calmed the people's hearts.
Deng Ai tried to execute Huang Hao during the Shang Dynasty, but Huang Hao bribed Deng Ai's close associates in advance and barely managed to save his life.
In this way, the Shu Han established by Liu Bei completely disappeared from history after only two generations and fifty years.
