The battle in Hefei is famous, but…

It’s really interesting to focus on the unknown guy who built a strong Hefei.

It’s interesting that it feels like everyone knows so much! But I’m really troubled by how good this old man’s stories are.

Right after this, it’s time for G’s retirement, so it’s an episode about the favorite unknown old man around.

When I Googled it, that era had a rare wise man… unlike the false Liu Bei.

I don’t know, but he’s a great old man.

It would be nice if it were a little more famous.

Did I skip that last week?

The name does come up at least once before.

A strange old man with a face that looks like he really loves alcohol and seems lewd.

In the story, the treatment is terrible, and the gap is surprising.

>>14

The one where Cao Cao, who accidentally killed someone, regrets it so much that he apologizes; it’s unclear whether it’s treated poorly or well.

“It is said that ‘oppressive rule is fiercer than a tiger,’ but due to Wu coming and rampaging excessively, the amount of forced labor is greater than in other cities.”

The reason so many people are gathering together is that there were benefits that outweighed the labor involved.

It must have been a remarkably good government.

I like that the things that an unknown old man quietly worked hard to build up on his own, without anyone paying attention, live on after his death.

The fact that this unknown old man was using a stone from the area connects everything, so it is necessary.

The depiction of Aoten in Hefei was plentiful, so it should be easy to understand the greatness of this man’s work.

I love the scene of Cheng Peng’s exit in this manga the most.

Including the surprise of still being alive in the final episode!

It’s a famous character from Sōten Kōro that has also become a LINE sticker.

🫸🤛

I seriously thought I had skipped over the part where Koko and Guan Yu suddenly returned.

>>24

The Journey to the West is a work of fiction, and since it primarily tells the story of Cao Cao’s faction persisting in their pursuit, it will likely be omitted or not emphasized.

>>28

Speaking of which, Soten was a work based on historical facts, after all…

Still, skipping entirely over Guan Yu’s return and from the lament of the flesh on his thigh, the heavily weighted Guan is a bold reconstruction, isn’t it?

>>32

Guan Yu and Liu Bei are separated for quite a long time.

It really makes you wonder how many times we got to meet after Liu Bei entered Shu.

It’s nice to see the frightening Liu Ye crying.

>>25

The scene where Liu Ye is crying is shocking even when looking back on it later.

I really don’t know this person, but just from this panel, I can somehow imagine their personality and way of speaking. The manga’s ability is really high!

This unknown old man is trying to invade Hefei, which he has worked hard to develop, how barbaric of Wu!

>>29

Rest assured that they will come to invade multiple times after this.

In other words, the fact that we can’t take Hefei at all is making Kongming’s Northern Expedition even more futile.

I thought I really skipped over that.

An unknown old man who built schools, implemented irrigation, established military settlements, and greatly accumulated wealth for both the government and the people.

We also adopt delicious Romance of the Three Kingdoms topics like Ma Chao vs. Zhang Fei.

It’s fun to look for interpretations like this from the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms or its adaptations.

>>33

It’s nice how the peach garden is intertwined towards the end as Guan Yu’s recollection.

>>33

There is a story that Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were in regular contact with each other.

“By the way, what kind of person is Ma Chao, who recently surrendered?” in response to Guan Yu’s question.

“There is a passage in the historical records that says, ‘Zhang Fei is a good match, but he is no match for the elegant mustached one (Guan Yu).'”

“I’m interpreting that the substance of ‘a good match’ is like that.”

Besides, there’s Diao Chan after all.

If we have Jun-ni doing a journey to a thousand miles in this manga, it would definitely turn into a gag…

Kan Hao is somehow trying to show off his amazingness.

Guan Yu is slowly making a farewell to live as a hero! Even though he encouraged the Mongolians and shared a cup with dark figures, he is nonchalantly returning.

Please draw some kind of trigger for returning.

An old man who appeared a few volumes ago, had a cool exchange with Cao Cao, giving off the impression that he was capable… and then he went to Hefei and temporarily exited the scene.

Like a first-time old man.

I only know about “Souten,” but is this person familiar to those who like “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”?

>>43

An incredibly capable guy who suddenly appeared in the sky and made everyone wonder who he was.

>>43

In the narrative, an uncle suddenly appears and suddenly dies, causing mourning.

In official history, he’s highly capable to the point of being an original character, but he’s somewhat of a background character since he doesn’t get involved in the main events.

This guy’s management skills are incredible…

As the author says, “In the panels featuring that character, everyone is the main character.”

The characters that suddenly appear have such a strong presence, don’t they?

It’s impressive that there are so many memorable supporting roles that leave a strong impression, not just through words.

>>45

Is it better to cut off the ears before severing the head?

>>48

“While this guy is capable, he has a cruel nature…”

“It is much more convincing than the evaluation of historical figures in the official history that simply states ‘was hated by Cao Cao.'”

Capable people in politics tend to not have flashy performances in stories.

A few years after my assignment, I was able to improve the financial situation enough to send supplies to the center.

Do not neglect stockpiling as a countermeasure against the Sun Quan army.

And there are no signs of being forcibly squeezed out from the public.

A man with an unclear ability.

Not only did they lay the foundation in Hefei, but their contributions to wealth accumulation are also enormous.

Suddenly appearing and establishing a good government, he became loved by the people while building a strong urban area, just an old man.

>>52

So, on the contrary, it’s hard to talk about it.

The way this story is crafted is amazing.

It’s a good foreshadowing that one of the two capable officials mentioned by Cao Cao at Red Cliffs is this person.

Why does the quality of the Three Kingdoms change so dramatically depending on the policies of the leaders in power?

I can’t imagine it from now on.

>>55

In an era where the speed of information is slow, the quality of work for all officials changes depending on the quality of the person giving instructions.

>>57

Guan Yu is often criticized for his arrogant and overconfident nature that led to his great defeat, but he was in a place far from Yizhou and couldn’t be giving instructions at every turn.

When it comes to a person who possessed both military and political power, there is hardly anyone like Guan Yu in Shu.

In reality, politics itself was functioning well enough that Ryomon lamented that “virtue and power were well-distributed and there were no gaps.”

In the blue sky, there’s only the scene of visiting a grave, but Shiba Ryo is also attractive, isn’t he?

“When the time comes to fight Yuan Shao, it would be good to send this guy.”

Behind the story, there was a really perfect job done by some kind of super shabby old man.

The real enemy in Hefei, or rather in the south, is disease…
