Legends of Dynasty, THREE KINGDOMS Vol. 19: After the Fall

The rivalry among Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan has been the defining struggle of the era of the three kingdoms. But two of the men are dead, and the era of the three kingdoms is drawing to a close. Now, Zhuge Liang, who was the architect of Liu Bei's ascent to power, must engage in almost constant battle and forge unpopular alliances if he is to preserve the legacy of his former master.

Now that Liu Bei is gone, a very unexpected truth reveals itself: that as much as Liu Bei's passionate dream depended on Zhuge Liang's shrewd tactics, those tactics alone cannot achieve the dream unless paired with a similar passion. Only after it's too late does Zhuege Liang realize that he needed Liu Bei as much as Liu Bei needed him. The problems are apparent soon after Liu Bei dies. Where once he could call upon advisors and generals who shared Liu Bei's dream, Zhuge Liang now finds himself surrounded by a new generation of men, most of whom have no memory of the Han Dynasty that Liu Bei fought so hard to restore. These men are far less likely to put a selfless cause before their own interests, particularly when they have no appreciation of the cause. This makes it very difficult for them to comprehend some of Zhuge Liang's strategies, which have always been carried out by men for whom the goal of restoring the Han Dynasty was worth being confounded by Zhuge's plans.
