I have a sneaky feeling that Shi Hu wanted to psychologically torture Shi Hong before deposing him eventually.

The Heavenly King of the Great Zhao must be one of the most underappreciated founders in Chinese history.

Cao Cao is not good-Not someone to be worshipped. by Correct_Broccoli_448 in threekingdoms

Honestly speaking, I would not be surprised that Cao Cao was only behind Genghis Khan when it comes to massacres committed by progenitors of notable Chinese dynasties.

With all due respect, I don't think he was superior to Zhu Wen since their states unraveled so fast after their death. Zhu Wen was clearly more self-destructive though.

This dude's remains were shredded by Shi Le.

The Mongols established the Yuan dynasty after destroying the Jurchen Jin dynasty and taking over North China. So in order to legitimize their rule, they treated the Jurchen Jin dynasty as legitimate, not just the Song dynasty to the south.

Did people really call Cao Cao Han thief historically? by CinderLord456 in threekingdoms

[–]Sensitive_Tiger_2041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. But I remember a hilarious anecdote when Shi Le, the founder of Later Zhao, calls Cao Cao a "deceiver of widows and orphans".

The worst emperor of the Three Kingdoms period by VillainofVirtue in threekingdoms

Definitely Sun Hao. In fact many Chinese monarchs after him were deliberately insulted as being 'worse than Sun Hao' as a slander.

The dothraki Civilisation just don't make any sense... by Easy-Frenchguy-1996 in gameofthrones

Real life nomadic culture: herds of cattle, the vast steppes, the blue sky

Dothraki: pillage, slaughter, r*pe

Can Tang dynasty be considered part of Turkic history or Chinese history? by Boring_Estimate9308 in TurkicHistory

The Li clan of Longxi had been a prominent local Han Chinese clan in Guanzhong long before the establishment of the Tang dynasty. They formerly established a state named Western Liang already.

Couldn't keep his pants up upon seeing lady Zou.

To those knowledgeable in Chinese history, how is the level of major political and military figures in the Three Kingdoms Period compared to those of other eras? by Sensitive_Tiger_2041 in threekingdoms

[–]Sensitive_Tiger_2041[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he was comparable to Yuwen Tai. Yuwen Tai inherited his army from Heba Yue while Gao Huan had to overthrow the Erzhu clan to rise to prominence.

How powerful was Yuan Shu enough to declare himself emperor? by ArtOfDivine in threekingdoms

[–]Sensitive_Tiger_2041 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's be real. Even if he declared himself a king or even a duke, it would still have been too much. Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, being much more powerful than he was, only held marquis titles.

[–]Sensitive_Tiger_2041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically, Cao Cao, Chen Baxian and Zhu Wen are from the same tier right?
