Three Kingdoms, Episode 20

Shun avoids Song Yau because he knows she’ll hurt even more with him around and so he decides to go to Yizhou to take care of some  wood supplies work. He works hard there- definitely a changed man.

Meanwhile in Dong Wu, there’s the problem with the quality of arrows-  Zhou Yu shifts the responsibility to Z.  If Z succeeds in getting them new arrows, they will have 100,000 arrows & all is good. In the event that Z fails, hmmm…. Even the alliance would be affected. Cheung Fei  knows someone in  Yizhou so he went in search of him to buy arrows. However the arrows there were only meant for land battle, so back to square one!

Now Shun is with them since he’s  Yizhou too & he remembered the famous ‘story’ about Z borrowing arrows from CaoCao. So Shun writes to Z about the famous “plan”- we all know so well. Filled ships with dummies & wait for a very foggy night to “attack Caocao side with them. Sigh…. At this point I was really disappointed… as  tis is one of the smartest battle strategy in history & it has to come from Shun as well ???? Spoil the story again???!!!!

Anyway though the note did reach Z but it’s all been erased by the rain! Z wonder what did Shun thought of, he realise he should think in “Shun’s” way… & so he did & came out with the same idea. BUT I have to say, somehow  it takes the fun out of the whole thing by then, it's Z's moment- the writers shouldn’t  have Shun messing with it….what to do???

Meanwhile Sun Quan finally declared to the alliance that they should embark on an attack against Caocao at Chibi or as we know it – “ Red Cliff “

  1. I find it disturbing that ZhugeLiang kept letting Shun mouthing off to Zhou Yu all the time. Unless maybe he "secretly" likes it since the great Zhuge Liang cant say such things so have an assistant say it lor!!!!!

    1. LOL.... that's what I was thinking too since Zhou Yu appeared!!! Very disappointed how they spoil this famous part of the story by letting Shun has a part in it!

    2. I feel the same they shouldnt have insert Shun's part into this particular "borrowing arrows from CaoCao scene. It dilute the effect of the "brilliance" of the original idea! Seems ZhugeLiang has hardly any original idea in this show!

  2. Ya lor someone should have put a lid on Shun long ago!!! How can they let him say what's in his mind all the time? In those days, a wrong word could get your head chopped off right?
