Three Kingdoms 2012 episode 15

Hon advises Cao Cao to “take”  Jingzhou before other cities. Man Yeuk  agrees. I find this Man Yeuk interesting… he’s not afraid of Hon’s sneaky character, not afraid of agreeing with him as long as it benefited Caocao his boss... he’s ok. Not Bad! Caocao went to see  Lady Choi & hinted that since everything is done, he has enough of her ! She’s mad & made a mistake, she started dropping names - all the impt people she knows… thinking that’ll will frighten Caocao perhaps? But Wrong move! Hon suggested killing them! Man Yeuk cautioned that it must be done in such a way that will not link back to Caocao. And so it was decided! They were killed by “robbers or something” on the way to see the emperor!

Lau Bei was upset over the cruelty of Caocao & consider surrendering, he ask Z for advise. Hmmm… & I was thinking you might as well be asking Yeut Ying or Shun! Z didn’t know what to do & he got drunk!!!!! Seriously at this point, I’m not expecting much from this character. Yuet Ying & Shun would  likely be the ones who’ll come up with the next strategy, since they have been doing that since day one !

More problems…. A disease started spreading & after some investigation, it has something to do with pigs! Do they have to kill all pigs???? Z has no solution…. Shun suggested using vinegar! Then Lau Kei opened one of their store with reserves of rice, it’s long due so the rice is not in a good condition & has a bad smell. Still it’s better than starving! The next brilliant idea comes from who again…. Yeut Ying of course!!!!  She taught them how to make naan & ate with curry gravy. Thus the strong curry favour covers the smell of the rice! Problem solved!

Z, told Lau Bei that they need to train an army of  sailor/soldiers as,  if Cao Cao next attack, it will be a sea battle. They decided to pay Sun Quan a visit. It’s known that Zhou Yu (Sun Quan’s advisor) & Z do not get along, well we’ll see….
Thoughts: This episode once again see the brilliance of both Yeut Ting & Shun & all Caocoa's advisors & all our Zhuge Liang do is to get drunk! I'm, sooooo.....  disappointed!

  1. So is it the writer's fault or Raymond's protrary of Zhuge Liang that's the problem? By the way I vote Yeut Ying as the smartest person in 3 kingdoms...hahhaha...

    1. The writer's fault in dividing all the juicy smartie ideas amongst so many people- most of them should go to Zhuge Liang.
      Raymond is playing a too sub-due Zhuega Liang- that's he's own fault! But with such a script, I doubt anyone can bring much life to the boring charcater.
