10 Tough Questions about Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Answer: Xing Daorong

Xing Daorong carried this great axe but it did not stop him from falling to the Shu army.

Answer: Cheng Pu

Cheng Pu, the loyal and skilled officer serving the Sun family carried the Serpent Spear...not to be confused with Zhang Fei's Viper Blade.

Answer: Sun Jian

Wu Anguo fought Lu Bu for several bouts but had to retreat after breaking his wrist blocking Lu Bu's attack. Gongsun Zan fought for longer than Wu Anguo but had to flee for his life. Zhang Fei cut Lu Bu off, saving Gongsun Zan, and dueled Lu Bu for many bouts until his brothers came to aid him, chasing Lu Bu away. Sun Jian never got into a duel with Lu Bu.

Answer: Sun Jian

Sun Jian was leading an attack on Liu Biao when he fell into an ambush. Boulders were dropped on him and his army and he died.

Answer: Ma Su

Ma Teng is the father of Ma Chao and Ma Dai's uncle. Ma Su is not any relation to them.

Answer: Wei Yan

Wei Yan was not one of the tiger generals, but not due to a lack of valour or skill. Perhaps it was the fact that Zhuge Liang suspected he was treacherous, but he was not included in the tiger generals.

Answer: Gan Ning

Gan Ning led a night raid on Cao Cao's camp with 100 veteran horsemen. Zhou Tai was appointed to provide reinforcements if necessary but it was not needed.

Answer: Zhang Liao

Guan Yu slew Hua Xiong during the campaign against Dong Zhuo, while Yan Liang and Wen Chou both fell while Guan Yu was serving under Cao Cao. Zhang Liao was not killed by Guan Yu.

Answer: Pang De

Pang De, formally serving under Ma Chao, vowed to fight Guan Yu to the death at Fan Castle. He proved to be a match for Guan Yu but a flood attack drowned the Wei army and Pang De was captured. He did not beg for mercy or surrender; he chose death.

Answer: Fa Zheng

Fa Zheng only served Liu Zhang and Liu Bei. Guo Jia was a brilliant strategist, possibly equal or near-equal to Zhuge Liang but he died of sickness before Chi Bi. Xu Shu served Cao Cao against his will but never prepared any strategies for him. Sima Yi served Cao Cao and eventually his sons began the Jin empire.
