Three Kingdoms 2012 Episode 16

Z warned lau Bei that if they want to form alliance with Sun Quan, They might have to  surrender Jiangxia. So they went to see Sun Quan in Dong Wu,  but was ding dong back & fro as Sun Quan avoided them. Back home Z, encourage Lau Kei to hold a big funeral for his dead father.  That way, the person Dong Wu sent,to attend can take message back.  Finally Z is thinking!

Lu Su, Chief Adviser of Sun Quan came, to the surprise of all! Lu Su told Z he has requested to come because of Z’s ‘fame’.  Apparently Dong Wu has been enjoying peace & wealth for some time, & if Caocao will to attack, they need to be prepared. So this alliance would be beneficial to them too. But he confess he does not know what’s in Sun Quan’s mind.

So once again Z & gang go to meet him. Finally we see Sun Quan aka Pierre Ngo . He’s friendly but dismiss Z & gang as he didn’t want to piss Caocao off. Z is not giving up & according to Shun’s  “ 18 stratagems of HKG men”….. one could just be persistent until the other side backs down! They forced themselves into Sun Quan’s chambers & found  him playing games!!!!!. Remember Shun is a video game freak, so he challenges Sun Quan in  his games.  His mother suddenly appeared & we learnt that he listens to her & she compares him to his dead brother!

 Next day, Shun introduces them to a game of gin rummy. Through the game, Z explains the importance of alliance. Still Sun Quan is not interested. After further observation, they realised  that his problem is in everyone’s eyes  he’ll never live up to his dead brother so why bother to do so much? So Shun  came up with “war game’ to drive home the point.

GAME: will not elaborate here… but it’s interesting… SQ showed to be very smart guy ! Now SQ gave them a chance if they can convince his ministers, then alliance is on. Z did a good job, now there’s one more to convince Zhou Yu. He blocks them. He was late on purpose to test whether Z could convince the other ministers…. Hmmm…. Very cunning but very interesting character. Infact both SQ & Zhou Yu is fun to watch…. Z is making me yawn big time now.

Thoughts: Thank God for the new characters,  Pierre Ngo is  GREAT! He looks the part & play the character very well….. his smartness is beleiveable ! Ruco of course do not disappoint at all. He looks so good.
