Zhao Y- Liaoyuan Huo Leader of the Ha— Some guy
To the anon who wanted to know how best to enjoy Three Kingdoms: the best way imho is to read 火鳳燎原 (‘The Ravages of Time’ or ‘RoT’) by Chen Mou!
There is the original novel (Romance of Three Kingdoms) which is very long, probably as wildly embellished as RoT, and tends to white-knight the kingdom of Shu Han. The new TV series (‘Three Kingdoms 2010’) was ummm enjoyable once I accepted it was still going to be very biased towards portraying Shu as the heroes of the story… You could also play Dynasty Warriors (I’ve only played 7, I enjoyed it) or the old ROTK games (haven’t played, have heard good things about). Finally there is a 4-koma-ish webcomic in English but imo this is better enjoyed after playing DW and reading the novel
Sorry, I hope this didn’t scare non-3K fans / piss off 3K fans. I’m probably more of a RoT fan than real 3K fan tbh since in RoT everyoneis ruthless and scheming and awesome

Xiahou Dun
I’m posting this section from his wiki page here because it is really cute:
While his physical prowess was unquestioned, his military successes were few and far between. It was under his leadership that Cao Cao’s forces fell to an ambush at the Battle of Bowang, costing thousands of men their lives when he pursued Liu Bei’s forces into a nearby gulley.
However, when he was made a governor, Xiahou Dun quickly found his calling. Besides damming up the Taishou River and encouraging people to plant paddy in the resulting inundated land, he was also said to have personally joined in the planting. He gained a reputation for generosity because of his habit of distributing wealth among his people and keeping very little for himself.

A loyal general in times of war… A TEDDY BEAR IN TIMES OF PEACE

Sometimes I think Guo Jia is also Chen Mou’s favorite character

When I tell people that The Ravages of Time is a HK comic loosely based off the Romance of Three Kingdoms I use ‘loosely’ as in ‘I am sure the historical Guo Jia was not this devastatingly beautiful’
ETA I mean Chen Mou’s design of Guo Jia is devastatingly beautiful sob

I really want to send a respectful fan letter to Chen Mou but I’ll have to write it in English since I don’t think he would react well to “ni de Guo Jia hen piao liang” and that is all the Mandarin I know
In other news Jia Xu has extremely beautiful hair in the newer chapters (when did you have the time to rebond in the middle of a battle???) and I hope Guo Jia gets to slap Sima Yi at least once before he dies

Ravages of Time versus Dynasty Warriors 7*??
Except for Guo Jia. There can only be one Guo Jia
* Well now it is obvious which version’s character designs I have memorized
(Finished Wei’s story mode and started on Jin’s. Everyone is adorable. especially Zhuge Dan who looks exactly like the world’s most paranoid French Bulldog)

SSM6発売おめでとう!! In truth Koei’s Jia Xu looks pretty badass. It is just a complete 360 from his somewhat dorky* Ravages of Time incarnation. I screamed when I heard he was going to be in this game… I screamed again upon seeing his design
*In which Guo Jia** had to literally ride in and carry him off to safety

Cao Cao’s “three monsters” Dian Wei, Guo Jia and Xu Chu (Ravages of Time version)
My only grouse about this otherwise brilliant series is the lack of camaraderie between Cao Cao and his favorite strategist. I wish Chen Mou would show them interacting more since Guo Jia is pretty much going to die soon (in RoT parlance “another 50 chapters”). IDK maybe he is saving it for GJ’s morale boosting talk to CC… But I guess it is also hard to portray Cao Cao as having feelings
ETA: Merc just translated a recent Chen Mou interview, I love his comment about Guo Jia lol
