「 𝕱𝖆𝖙𝖊/𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖆𝖎 𝕽𝖊𝖒𝖓𝖆𝖓𝖙 」

[mademoiselle-red]

Some wordplay with names in the Three Kingdoms

Zhaolie 昭烈 = Liu Bei’s posthumous title, meaning: bright, luminous, blazing, fire

Liang 亮 = Zhuge Liang’s given name, meaning: bright, luminous, light

Kongming 孔明 = Zhuge Liang’s courtesy name, meaning: vast brightness

Fish and Water, Fire and Light, King and Chancellor

also,

Yu 瑜 = Zhou Yu’s given name

Gongjin 公瑾 = Zhou Yu’s courtesy name

Jin 瑾 = Zhuge Jin’s given name

Ziyu 子瑜 = Zhuge Jin’s courtesy name

Most likely because their names come from the same origin: the term 瑾瑜 Jinyu means beautiful jade, also used metaphorically to describe someone’s beautiful / virtuous character. I think it’s pretty neat that two of Sun Quan’s favorite people have basically the same name!

Bonus: if you put mix their names, you can get “瑾瑜公子”, a gentleman like beautiful jade

idea involving fsr archer in a hypothetical fgo event, full of spoilers for archer's identity lmao:

-

we need a 3guo event in fgo where zhou yu is luo guanzhong's servant (lgz accidentally created the singularity with a holy grail or something) and zhou yu Actually Fucking Resents him for how he was portrayed in ro3k (though is still loyal), but everyone at Chaldea's like wow! zhou gongjin is so tsundere for luo guanzhong! and zhou yu is like. Dying Internally at this bc no one seems to believe him if/when he says otherwise

also zhao yun is the chaldea companion servant bc there's something deeply funny about a general of shu han opposing lgz while a general of eastern wu is his servant ghklsdghldhg

Chapter 8-4 The Rites of Life and Death (生死之禮)

Chapter 8-1

.

.

.

Civil Official: Yuan Shu wants him dead for sure. Young Master, why did you bring him back?

Military Advisor: The Yuan family wants to install Liu Yu, the Governor of Youzhou, as the Emperor. They're worried that people will support the Prince of Guangling, who possesses the Imperial Seal...

Where... Where am I... So many people are talking...

Sun Ce: The plan hasn't changed. We're still attacking Guangling and killing the Prince of Guangling.

Sun Ce: We'll just use him as a hostage first to force that Chen Deng to surrender the city, saving us some effort.

???: What if Chen Yuanlong surrenders? Will you spare the Prince of Guangling?

...The sound of a zither... Is someone... playing the zither...?

Sun Ce: We'll still kill him. If we don't bring the Prince of Guangling's head to Yuan Shu, the Yuan family won't release the grain supply to the Sun family.

???: ...I'll think about it...

The lingering notes of the zither filled the air. When the music started, no one on the ship dared to interrupt.

???: Push him overboard and kill him. Dispose of him cleanly.

???: If Guangling doesn't surrender, we attack. But there's an ancient zither called "Green Wonder" in the city that I quite like. Don't damage it.

Sun Ce: Who cares about a zither during a siege? You're not short of zithers anyway.

???: It's called Green Wonder. I want it.

Sun Ce: I can't tell the difference between green paint and red paint. Let that Lu guy find it for you... Gongjin, look, he's awake.

Sun Ce: What are you hanging your head for? Did I hit you that hard?

Sun Ce: The Yuan family wants to enthrone Liu Yu, the Governor of Youzhou. You, an imperial prince with the Imperial Seal, are a thorn in their side. He asked me to get rid of you.

He sat cross-legged by the table and poured some wine.

Sun Ce: But... hehe, I wanted to take Guangling on the side, so I captured you as a hostage.

Sun Ce: That's how it is—Don't be so downcast. Come and have a few drinks with me?

You: No, thank you. I'm fine like this.

Sun Ce: At least let us clean you up? You're a prince after all, we should show you some respect.

...They can't discover my identity. If he finds out I lied to him back then... the consequences would be unthinkable.

You: I don't want to wash up. But since we're going on a journey, could you let me choose some everyday clothes that I like?

Sun Ce waved his hand. Soon, three different sets of everyday clothes were brought over.

You: ...None of them catch my eye. Are there any others?

Sun Ce: There are plenty! -- Bring some more clothes.

Zhou Yu: Bofu, that's enough.

Sun Ce: It's normal for a man about to die to want to dress up a bit. He's a prince after all!

You: I'm not satisfied with any of these. Are there any more?

Just as Sun Ce was about to reply, a blazing fire and the shouts of the navy soldiers erupted simultaneously—

Navy Soldier A: Someone set a fire! The warship is taking on water!

The zither player behind the curtain sighed, got up, and left with the zither in their arms.

Zhou Yu: How stupid... I'll go first. Don't forget the Green Wonder zither.

Sun Ce: With such a huge fire, how can you leave?! ... I'll be... He's really gone...

Navy Soldier A: General, the keel is burnt through! The warship is breaking apart!

Sun Ce: ...The keel is burnt through, and the fire started from the inside... Was this your doing?!

You: Just stalling for time, allowing the spies hidden among the navy to set fire to the ship.

He drew his sword in fury and charged towards me.

At that moment, the warship groaned ominously and broke apart. Everyone on board plunged into the water...

I tried something new and wrote a bio for Ling Tong. Would appreciate any feedback/corrections.

Ling Tong 淩統 (Gongji 公績) was fifteen years old when Sun Quan 孫權 (Zhongmou 仲謀) sent him to take over his father’s troops, after his father Ling Cao 凌操 had been struck by an arrow and killed in battle. Tong, despite his age, was well respected by many and Sun Quan 孫權 appointed him Separate Division Major and Acting Breaking Bandits Commandant. This was no doubt also due to Ling Cao’s 凌操 commitment to the state. During a campaign against the mountain bandits, Sun Quan 孫權 laid waste to the Bao encampment and left, leaving behind ten thousand troops to besiege the Ma camp. Ling Tong 淩統 was among these troops, and they plotted for the day of the attack.

Before the day of the battle, Ling Tong 淩統 attended a banquet alongside an officer named Chen Qin 陳勤, who was in charge of the banquet. Although, he abused his authority and dealt punishments without obeying the rules. Ling Tong 淩統 confronted him for this humiliation, however Chen Qin 陳勤 ignored him, furiously cursing him as well as his late father. Tong, though the insults and frustration had driven him to tears, offered no response. After the conclusion of the banquet, Chen Qin 陳勤 continued to furiously berate Tong on the road. By now his fury had gotten the better of him, so Tong drew his sword and attacked him. Chen Qin 陳勤 died from these wounds several days later, leaving Tong feeling guilty over what he had done.

When the time to attack the camp came, Ling Tong 淩統 decided the only way to pay for his crime was to die in battle. So, Tong rallied his troops and charged the enemy, avoiding flying arrows and rocks before quickly breaking through the opposing side. Once the officers behind him followed up on his assault, the battle was a decisive victory for Sun Quan’s 孫權 forces. Tong, believing he still had not paid for his crime, had himself bound and submitted to a disciplinary officer. Sun Quan 孫權 instead praised his conduct and pardoned him of his crime due to his achievement in battle.

Several years later, Sun Quan 孫權 campaigned against Huang Zu 黃祖 in Jiangxia 江夏 again, with Tong and his trusted warriors leading the vanguard. They sailed in a single boat, far ahead of the main army. Sailing into the western part of the river, Ling Tong 淩統 and his men beheaded the general Zhang Shuo 張碩 and captured all of his men, before reporting back to Sun Quan 孫權. At this time, Lü Meng 呂蒙 (Ziming 子明) defeated Huang Zu’s 黃祖 navy, and upon attacking Jiangxia, Ling Tong 淩統 was first to scale the wall and Jiangxia was quickly captured. For this victory, he was promoted to Chief Commandant and was present among Zhou Yu 周瑜 (Gongjin 公瑾) and others when Cao Cao 曹操 (Mengde 孟德) was repelled at Wulin. Following this, he defeated Cao Ren 曹仁 (Zixao 子孝), and was promoted to Colonel. 

Tong was still well respected among scholars several years after Sun Quan 孫權 had first appointed him; he obsessed little over his wealth and valued good conduct. In the year 214, six years after Sun Quan’s 孫權 campaign in Jiangxia, he lead an attack on Huan, Luijiang. Ling Tong 淩統 once again performed well. For his efforts, he was made the General of the Interior who Terrifies Criminals and was designated the Chancellor of Pei. Following Lü Meng 呂蒙, he conquered the three western commanderies and returned to Yiyang, before marching towards Hefei 合肥.

Sun Quan 孫權, following a brief skirmish with Guan Yu’s 關羽 (Yunchang 雲長) army over Jing province, had led an army of 100,000 strong to march on Hefei 合肥i, defended by only 7,000 men, for the second time. The garrison at Hefei was headed by Zhang Liao 張遼 (Wenyuan 文遠), Yue Jin 樂進 (Wenqian 文謙) and Li Dian 李典 (Mancheng 曼成), though they did not get along. Zhang Liao 張遼 led a decisive strike on Sun Quan’s 孫權 army, taking 800 volunteers with him. This small assault inflicted massive damage on the opposing army, with Liao personally charging the lines until he reached Sun Quan’s 孫權 personal guards, prompting Quan to withdraw.

 The siege continued for another ten days, though Sun Quan 孫權 made no progress and was forced to retreat, also in part due to the illness that had spread throughout his forces. The majority of the army was sent ahead, with a group of elite soldiers left behind to guard him. Zhang Liao 張遼 saw he was isolated, and struck again. Ling Tong 淩統 commanded three hundred of his personal troops and charged forward to protect Quan, breaking the encirclement. Tong escorted him from the fighting, to a nearby broken bridge where only a single plank remained on either side. Quan drove his horse to jump the gap, taking him to safety, and Ling Tong 淩統 then returned to the battle until all of his men had fallen, and he was badly wounded all across his body. Only when he had killed dozens of Zhang Liao’s 張遼 soldiers did he decide Sun Quan 孫權 had enough time to get far away, and so he tore off his armour and jumped into the river.

Sun Quan 孫權, who was safely aboard a boat now, spotted Ling Tong 淩統 in the river and pulled him free. Though he had survived, Tong was overcome with grief and wept uncontrollably at the loss of every one of his men. Sun Quan 孫權 wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and said, “Gongji, the dead are already gone, but with you here, what fear is there of lacking men?” He was kept aboard Sun Quan’s 孫權 boat and cared for by him personally, until he was healed. He was appointed Lieutenant General for his contribution, and the amount of troops under his command was doubled. 

About the same time, a man named Chen Xian was recommended to Sun Quan 孫權. He was said to be of great morality and more virtuous than Ling Tong 淩統. Quan’s reply was “Having one like Tong is enough.” Chen Xian was later summoned, though at the time of his arrival, Ling Tong 淩統 was in his bed. However, once he heard of his arrival, he got dressed and went out to meet him, leading him in by the hand. He showed great kindness to one he had only just met. 

Ling Tong 淩統 proposed the mountain bandits possessed many who were strong and heroic of nature, and could be brought into their service through rewards and martial prowess. This would take away the pressure put on their bordering territories, and provide them with allies. Sun Quan 孫權 accepted this proposal, ordering him east to take command and suppress them. He sent a decree to local administrators that all of Tong’s requests were to be fulfilled, and reported to him afterwards. Ling Tong 淩統 garnered much respect from the soldiers due to how he treated his men, and many flocked to volunteer for his service. He gathered 10,000 elite troops for this campaign.

Along the way, he passed by his hometown and walked into the local office. He treated the minor clerks and officials with utmost humility and respect, and greeted his old friends and family with great love and kindness despite having been parted for so long. However, once his matters in his home town were done and he had left, he suddenly fell ill and died at the young age of 29.

Upon hearing of his death, Sun Quan 孫權 wept uncontrollably for days, and his sorrow was endless. In his grief, Quan barely ate for several days, and had his official Zhang Cheng 張承 (Zhongsi 仲嗣), son of Zhang Zhao 張昭 (Zibu 子布), to write a eulogy for Ling Tong 淩統. His sons, Ling Lie 凌烈 and Ling Feng 凌封, were both of very young age when their father died. Sun Quan 孫權 brought them to the palace and cared for them is if they were his own sons, and he would introduce them to guests as “his tiger cubs.” Once they had reached the age of about 8 or 9, Quan ordered a man named Ge Guang 葛光 teach them how to read, and every ten days they would be instructed on horse riding. Due to Ling Tong’s 淩統 achievements, Ling Lie 凌烈 was made Marquis of Lieting and given command of his father’s troops. Later on, Lie was dismissed due to a crime, and Feng inherited his title and command of the troops.
