Du Jiaojun and Huan Gongyi

Two of Cao Cao's wives. One is the famed Lady Du of the Cao Cao/Guan Yu Love Triangle and the other became the mother of the celebrated prodigy Cao Chong. Cao Cao loves the unconventional. Du Jiaojun, light-haired, angular and bizarrely tall would be considered unsightly and ridiculous in the traditional Han society, just as much as the plump, ungainly Huan Gongyi. Both have endured unpleasant childhoods as a result but once Cao Cao enters their lives, their futures brighten as they see a side of the world they never saw just as the world sees a different side of them. Not to say their individual stories with Cao Cao are easy. In fact both are quite chaotic. But then, how else do love stories come about? Okay, I must confess, Du Jiaojun is a celebrity likeness to the magnificent Gwendoline Christie who I consider absolutely wondrous. I like tall women, not in a fetish way but in the artistic, aesthetic sense. Gwendoline Christie is one of those women who makes me feel all sunny inside and I couldn't resist modelling this character off of her. Yes, yes, I know there generally weren't blonde people in Ancient China but aside from the fact that a comic book aesthetic requires a diverse palette even in historical settings, the fact that she looks outlandish in-universe is what builds her story.

As to Huan Gongyi, I’m just waiting for someone to say ‘Damn, Chong’s Mama So Thic!’ or something along those lines. You can’t see my bemused expression but trust me, it’s there.

#1 Himbo Round 2: Choco (Choco Milk Shake) vs Cao Wei Ning (Word of Honor)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Choco: none submitted

Cao Wei Ning: "he might not be the strongest in his sect, but he’s not completely weak either! he definitely held his own against the Scorpions when he, A-Xiang, and Chengling were attacked. Part of Wen Kexing’s whole beef with him too is that wkx thinks he’s illiterate for not being well read enough. And like talk about being kind this boy has a limitless pot of love and forgiveness and optimism."

Li Qian and Qin Yilu

Two of Cao Cao’s most valued lieutenants, of whom sadly not much is known. So I’m putting my own spin on things.

Li Qian of Jiyin first meets Cao Cao when the young prodigy first take sup office in the capital as a Captain of the North Wall Gate. Li Qian serves as his Adjutant and demonstrates a forthright and honourable character which Cao Cao admires greatly. One might be surprised the famously crafty Cao Cao gets on so well with a man of upright morals but Li Qian understands Luoyang very well and knows that it’s no safe place for good-hearted men. While Cao Cao isn’t afraid to play dirty, respect for the law means a great deal to him and in this, the two are united and Li Qian rises beside Cao Cao as a stalwart and much-valued officer. Through Li Qian, another legend is born; that of his nephew, Li Dian.

Qin Yilu has never been a lucky individual and ever since his father, Qin Jie, raked up massive gambling debts with the powerful Cao Song, the boy was a hostage of the Cao family and became a friend of the young, impressionable Cao Aman. As Qin Yilu’s prospects improve beside Cao Cao’s, he uses his one reliable skill, that of being ignored and dismissed by others, to his advantage as he begins serving as Cao Cao’s spy, send into the courts of enemy lords to watch, listen, learn and pass on information. Qin Yilu’s no slouch in military matters either; while his father was a terrible gambler, he was an excellent commander of troops and as a commander of irregular militia, Qin Yilu can be counted on to appear in the most perilous of places, largely ignored by the majority of the enemy, ready to provide support for Cao Cao. One matter that a Cao Cao arranged when the two were young was Qin Yilu’s marriage to another hostage of the Cao family, Miss Du Jiaojun.

Waiting for the 2nd Century Warlord Comic? Want to learn more about ancient china? Check out these fun sources! Three Kingdoms oversimplified. Exactly what it says on the tin.

Farce of the Three Kingdoms. A hilarious parody of the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms that is only slightly more bonkers than the real thing (3/10 historical accuracy). For a more factual account, try reading Records of the Three Kingdoms...or just wikipedia-ing everyone.

War of the Three Kingdoms (2010). A fun TV show that deviates a lot from the novel but is more character-driven. has a lot of costume inaccuracies tho which drives me crazy >:((((

Romance of the Three Kingdoms（1994）TV show, considered a definitive classic. Editing's a bit choppy but at least none of the men have their hair down.

Total War: Three kingdoms. History told in the form of a stratagy-based video game.

Tang dynasty football. Not the same dynasty, but it's a nice showcase of costumes and instruments, also a surprisingly concise summary about ancient Chinese politics. (Bribes) What did Early Middle Chinese sound like? How does one recreate a non-phonetic language?

#romance of the three kingdoms #ancient china #text #san guo yan yi #please join me in the san guo fandom #being chinese is so hard i told my parents i was reading san guo and they were like ah yes a scholarly pursuit how the hell do i explain #to them that im a cao cao appologist and reknown general xu chu is my blorbo????? #me: i don't get political. me: 1 drink later #hear ye hear ye. lui bei the baby-tossing warmonger has nothing going for him except his alleged royal bloodline. #and the fact he's a solid 10 #citizens you must support lord cao cao the unifier. up with the glorious wei empire! down with the traitorous shu han!
