When he saved your life, helped you hunt rabbits, is a great shot with a gun, and has a pretty face so you trade valuable goods so you can ~platonically~ get him to join your gang

OK but the way these three had independent, but matching, photoshoots during ChongZi. (more under the Readmore)

Chapter 3, Fire and Blood. @sunfin3k and @dongzhou3kingdoms joined by @catigereptile to discuss chapter 3 of the novel: He Jin’s clash with the eunuchs, flight of princes and the arrival of the corrupt general Dong Zhuo, finding a vacuum of power amidst the fire and chaos. We say hello to one of the great warriors in Lu Bu, great of strength but perhaps not in filial loyalty. 

We worked on the sound so we are hoping for a more even pitch. Let us know if that worked for you. Transcript and can be seen on youtube

Timings: 

He Jin vs Eunuchs: 02:33

Dong Zhuo: 27:15

Han Princes: 37:36

Ding Yuan vs Lu Bu: 44:39

Next day, with the head of the murdered man as his gift, Lu Bu betook himself to Lu Su, who led him to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo received him with a warm welcome and had wine set before him. "Your coming is as welcome as the gentle dew to the parched grass," said Dong Zhuo.

[extract: cao cao is bisexual dot jpeg] “Ah, Cao Mengde is here!” Dong Zhuo exclaimed, “son, this is the promising young fellow I was telling you about.” 

“Oh, so this is he?” Lu Bu murmured, making a show of looking him over. He stalked a languid circle around Cao Cao, his fingers tapping leisurely on the jewelled pommel of his sword. He wore soft-toed riding boots, and his gait was unnervingly quiet, reminiscent of a leopard Cao Cao had seen once in a menagerie. All that coiled, deadly strength, trapped in a too-small cage. His voice, likewise was a low, throaty, growl as he remarked lazily, “the honour is mine, to be sure.” 

“Tales of your valor echo far and wide, General Fengxian,” Cao Cao made a show of being star-struck—not that he needed to try particularly hard. Call it a foible, but he found handsome, arrogant men as impressive as they were annoying. “As the saying goes; ‘amongst men, Lu Bu has no equal. Amongst horses, Red Hare.’” 

Lu Bu preened “so they’ve been talking about me behind my back, have they?” 

“Oh, you don’t know the half of it!” Cao Cao enthused. Greedy Back-stabber, Wandering Demon, Bastard-with-three-fathers —and those were some of the more pleasant ones. ---------- notes: - main inspiration for this was sima qian's writing. ancient china had this very matter-of-fact, almost refreshingly non-judgemental attitude towards homosexuality and/or male-male sexuality. and idk. i guess it's nice knowing history isn't about linear progress, different time periods can surprise you. - it's kind of refreshing to read stuff like "yeah so the court came togather and brutally assassinated the emperor's male lover. not bc we're homophobic btw (most of us have tried to dress like the guy just to get the emperor's attention), but it was bc he was amassing too much political influence" - diversity win! i guess! - my characterisation isn't so much as "who is gay/bisexual" but rather "this is the han dynasty, guys, and we're spending 80% of our time in the army. who amongst us HASN'T had a homoerotic experience?"

time to introduce my favorite female character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Diao Chan!

She was just a maid in the house of a minister. She watches the world fall apart around her and asks the minister if there is anything she could do to help her country, anything at all?

The minister invites her to his secret meeting room, asks her to take the superior seat, and formally bows to her, because he is about to ask her to sacrifice her reputation and dignity for a political mission.

She is to become his adopted daughter and use her new status to seduce both Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, play their jealousy and manly honor against each other, and make them hate each other.

I will do it, she says. And they bow to each other, as equals, to seal their pact.

She succeeds. She seduces Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. She cleverly tells Lu Bu how Dong Zhuo had taken her from him, and thus violated him by violating her, disrespected his honor by dishonoring her. She tells Dong Zhuo how Lu Bu lusts after her without respect for his authority, threatening her modesty and thus violating his trust, vying to take what belongs to him. She plays their patriarchal hubris against each other, sows distrust and a deep sense of betrayal between them, that eventually boils over into murder.

After Lu Bu kills Dong Zhuo, she leaves quickly and quietly in a carriage, retreating from the story having done her part for her country, and rides off into an uncertain future.
