Six excerpts from Insulting Zhou Yu Thrice: “The Battle Begins”, “Trapped in the City”, “The Fight”, “Hiding in the Luo River”, “The Journey Back Home” and “Death”
During the Three Kingdoms era, Dong Wu general Zhou Yu is plotting the downfall of Liu Bei, the ruler of the Shu state. Luring him with the offer of his beautiful sister’s hand in marriage, Zhou hopes to draw Liu close and have him murdered.
Heeding the advice of the Shu state military strategist Kongming, Liu accepts the offer, but is careful to develop a close rapport with the Queen Mother of Dong Wu to help ensure his safety. After the wedding, Liu heads home to Shu with his new wife Sun Shangxiang. Planning an ambush, Zhou sends his troops after them, but the plan fails when Sun orders the troops to retreat. When a second ambush also fails due to the intervention of Kongming, Zhou is stricken and soon falls gravely ill.
