Pretty sure this is a bot. Somebody needs to terminate it.

Who was cooler - Zhang Fei or Huang Zhong?
Have you read Three Kingdoms? Dreams of Red Mansion? Journey to the West? Outlaws of the Marsh?
Obviously, Zhang Fei is cooler, because he is among the three brothers while Huang Zhong is not.
Yeah, but Huang Zhong made that sick bow shot, survived to a ripe age, and had that old man swagger.
Yeah I know, Zhang Fei had the bridge incident. He was my favorite of the peach grove posse, mainly because he was a drunk lunatic - I love that! And his "Just Bleed" attitude is also appealing. Guan Yu? Overrated in my books. Liu Bei, was just okay. Better than Cao Cao but worse than Sun Jian. I like Sun Ce, but never warmed up to Sun Quan.
Did you read the books I asked about? How do you rate them if you did read?
I'm actually learning a lot. Keep it up and I'll keep reading!
Zhang Fei...Yide...was an alcoholic who abused those under him. He was fierce and loyal! Those under him separated his head from his shoulders. Why do you feel Guan Yu...Yunchang... is overrated? In many places in southern China...he is still the man out of all those that fought and died during that time. How is Liu Bei...Xuande...better than Cao Cao...Mengde?
Not challenging you...just curious to why you feel this. If Lu Bu...Fengxian...had his head screwed on properly and had control of his emotions...can you think how things might have turned out different? Ahhh...but everything happened as it was suppose to.
I'm not sure Warlord wants his thread hijacked and if not...we can start another. If Warlord does not mind...then we continue here!
We aren't highjacking, just keeping his message on the front page while we wait for more posts of his.
I agree about Lu Bu 100%. I don't think Guan Yu is overrated as a fighter, but I think he timed his acts of loyalty disadvantageously. I know that he is the man. Plus, like I said, Zhang Fei is my guy, so I have to put him over!
As for Liu Bei, I guess it's how you perceive him, as well as Cao Cao. Is Liu Bei the rightful heir? Is he the Robin Hood type figure that was for the people? or is he a cruel megalomaniac like some people claim? Same for Cao Cao; Was he the great uniter? Was he a cruel megalomaniac? Was he just a ruthlessly strategic warlord? I tend to not like "the great uniter" types, like Tokugawa Ieyasu, and I sort of lump the 2 in the same general category.
I'm going to go start rereading 3 Kingdoms right now because it has been too long for me to have a proper discussion. I like where this is going though. Feel free to tell me your thoughts, and you too WARLORD - we aren't highjacking your thread!
Also, we should comment on and discuss Warlord's posts as well; I'd like to hear what you think about his message.
Thanks for you reply! I have no problem with Zhang Fei other than his treatment of those under him! Yeah...I think it is just our own personal observations on who we like and not like! Hahaha...well said about Liu Bei and Cao Cao! Strange how they both lost! I got into a discussion at work with a girl who hated Cao Cao. She had lived in southern China for some time so mabey that explains it! Although she did not like how Cao Cao used the emperor as such a pawn. I of course see it differently!
I don't know if you have seen but I will put the first video of Three Kingdoms here for you. I think it is 92 episode from 2010 TV series. Of course as in Hollywood no doubt things added that did not happen. Fun watch! Be prepared to not do anything until you are finished watching! I made a thread about this TV series long time ago but it got derailed into some video game about this time frame.
Not a fan of Falun Gong. Read the main book by Li Hongzhi. Was not impressed although I do practice other qigong. Enjoy reading this thread though!
Same with me reading the 3 Kingdoms...it was 2007 last time for me! Time to dust it off and read!
