Im so happy that ma boi zhao yun was finally mentioned
Am I the only one who now has the urge to play Romance of the three Kingdoms (the original NES version not the SNES version), after watching this
Summary of the video: Ancient Chinese were extremely paranoid but lacked the concept of scouting.
"Kings and generals are only human"
Ah! He said the thing!
You got one thing wrong Zhuge Liang and sima yi are the highest level of strategist what you see off empty tactic is only the surface what make this part stand out is that zhuge knows that he was defeated but he also know that sima yi need him to be alive because the emperor need him to fight zhuge as he was the only guy who can handle him but if zhuge die he won’t have an chance to lead army again as the emperor wasn’t fully trusted in him knowing this zhuge empty tactics offers sima yi excuse to retreat even tho the castle was really small even ambush wouldn’t do much damage as well as when the other commander as to lead small number to test out the castle he said no when they can easily know it was an fake. The fact that they know each other very well is what make it exciting. As later history show sima yi took over the wei empire
8:51 fire was not discovered yet!
The (魏) Wei kingdom was ended by (司马懿) Sima Yi's Grandson (司马炎) Sima Yan who destroyed (吴) Wu in 280AD to reunify china as the (晋) Jin dynasty thus ending almost 80 years of disunity
Cool
周瑜 (Zhou Yu)，曹操(Cao Cao) ，诸葛亮(Zhuge Liang)，司马懿 (Sima Yi) were all known for their knowledge in military strategy.
In that period , there were also many other strategists that are not widely known by the casual audience such as 荀彧(Xun Yu) and many others
Sanguozhi 三国志 was the real historical records , whereas Romance of three kingdoms 三国演义was 30% fiction and 70% facts based novel.
Fantastic episode! The content was incredibly rich and unique, and I really appreciated the artistic flair of the video. Keep producing such amazing content, Kings and Generals!😃
One of Cao Cao's stratagems (probably apocryphal) that always struck with me for both its efficacy and cruelty is when he's besieging Yuan Shu's city of Shouchun and his army is running short on supplies. Cao Cao's subordinate in charge of distributing grain, Wang Hou, brings this to Cao's attention, to which Cao Cao replies, "Serve out with a smaller measure. I shall have another device in the future." Wang Hou does so, and predicably, Cao Cao's army begins to complain. When the situation becomes critical, Cao Cao summons Wang Hou and says, "I have a means of pacifying the army, but I need to borrow something from you." Wang Hou asks what this is, and Cao Cao replies, "I need to borrow your head to appease the soldiers." Wang Hou protests that he's done nothing wrong, to which Cao Cao says, "I know, but if I don't execute you, the army will mutiny. Don't worry, your wife and children will be in my care after your death." He then has Wang Hou publicly beheaded and places the blame for the grain shortage on him, mollifying the troops and encouraging them to fight harder. Shouchun falls to Cao Cao shortly afterwards.

When a character says the movie's title
One of my favorites is, "May i borrow a road to conquer Wu?" Can even be used in Total War games.

The beauty of women😂
here I was, hoping this was a partnership to announce a new Total War Three Kingdoms version 🙂
Strongly recommend Mr. ㎏ to introduce China's "The History of Nan Ming Dynasty". Can refer to this book, Gu Cheng's " The History of Nan Ming Dynasty", which has received extremely high ratings in China🎉🎉This period of history is very interesting
During the Three Kingdom period, Chinese generals were each commanding armies with 100K+ men. The entire Roman Empire was only 160k.
The funny thing about the "Empty Fort" gambit is that Tokugawa Ieyasu himself successfully copied it after he lost a battle against Takeda Shingen.
I think the better question would be: If the Chinese of the classical era were to fight the Romans, who would win?
From what I understand, Zhuge Liang didn't actually implement the borrowing arrows strategy. It was Sun Quan in a later battle… However, the author is a massive Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang fanboy so he makes sure he gets most of the credit over Zhou Yu, who wasn't supposedly that jealous of Zhuge Liang in the first place
Anyone ever play the game on PlayStation? Loved that game! I like to play with Cai Cao or Sun Jian
SURPRINSINGLY IRONIC China never has had a TRANSNATIONAL Victory, neither Empire. Persia, Rome, Islam, Mongols, etc, had translational empires. While China has mostly been seclusively inner conflicts an struggles. The Tang expanded until the Abbasid borders through little tribes and kingdoms only to LOSE to the Abbasids in 751. THE SHAMEFUL and PITTIFUL accounts of the Opium wars reveal fleeing garrisons; running soldiers; abandoning their posts after the first cannon volleys. WWII Chinese killing each other while the Japanese advancing throughout China.
This explains the hypocritical SELF – VICTIMISATION in which Modern China hides. Thinking they have been the historical victims of others (mostly the west), while in reality, all their historical shame have been caused by their own deficiency and incapacity to handle transnational issues, for their culture always pulls them to look and feel INWARDLY.
i hear three kingdom and my nostalgie of dynasty warriors apears ❤
Notes: abaondoning your fortress or making it look very undermaned (by making your men look like civilians or hide them under concealment and if the geography could have ambushes would trick the enemy into believing you have set a trap in your area or possibly even in the camp itself, which could cause them to retreat or walk into your trap .
If you make straw figures and put them out to your enemy under concealment like fog. And this exsample used boats, then shout fake orders and play war drums to make the enemy think your attacking.. after a while row back and collect the arrows from the staw soldiers and you will have enough well draining your enemies surply
You could potentially also use the arrows from your own wonded but would have less as non staw figures can't take as much
One strategy used was making one enemy fall in love with a girl then making your other enemy fall in love with said girl snd give her to him, then spark flames pointing fingers of who stole who, add some tails of rape to the mix and the two if done right will be at each other's throats
Bro your sponsor is shit why not total war 3 kingdoms
Guan Yu wasn't gay: 10:03.
Badly worded I guess (unless there is something about Chinese Culture that was unusually progressive for the time😉)
I amazed that despite their military wisdom and sophistication the Chinese were still bested by the Mongols.
