The Sanguo Yanyi – Chapter 33 – A Gallant Warrior, Cao Pi Marries Lady Zhen; An Expiring Star, Guo Jia Settles Liaodong.

Chapter 33 comes with a bit of a feeling of deja vu. Remember about 23 chapters ago when Lu Bu, having just assassinated the wicked Dong Zhuo, found himself facing the armies of four of Dong Zhuo’s generals (Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji)? Lu Bu succumbed to what was essentially the tactics of a wolfpack, one attacking the neck while the other goes for the hamstring. Cao Cao is in somewhat of a similar situation, facing off against the remainder of Yuan Shao’s once insanely large army, which is now under the command of three sons and a nephew: Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and Gao Gan.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING COMMENTARY MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.

I know I said before that the story is shifting to the south, and so it is, but for the next couple of chapters, Cao Cao’s got some loose-ends to take care of in the north. What are these loose-ends, you might ask? Their names are Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan, the sons (and nephew) of Yuan Shao. (more…)

Annnnd here it is. Come one, come all, and listen to Chapter 31 of the Sanguo Yanyi, I know it’s a bit late (I blame Daylight Standard Time. :p), but nonetheless, better late than never.

So the first quarter of the story was pretty much building up to the great Battle of Guan Du. Now that Guan Du is over (almost), the focus of the story begins to shift, rather, to the south, where two strong powers stand poised in control of the lands below the Yangtze River. Sun Quan, newly ascended to the office held by his Brother Sun Ce, and his father Sun Jian before that, controls the southeast with a strong and well-trained army. In Jingzhou, Liu Biao, a member of the Imperial Family, holds the office of Imperial Protector (Governor, pretty much). He also has an army of decent size, and capable officers such as Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Wen Ping, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, and Yi Ji, to name but a few. (more…)

This underwriting grant was brought to you by Stupendous Innovations, Inc. What do they do? What do they make? They make all sorts of products to help you get through your day.

Actually, they make a bunch of worthless crap. Just like just about every other manufacturer in the United States. Seriously…why do people BUY that shit? Probably because they’re taught from the cradle that money is good and that they should spend as much of it as possible. (more…)

Does radio make you want to ram your head into a brick wall until it’s nothing more than pulp, rather than listen to it? Well, it has that effect on me. When you get right down to it, that’s the reason why I started doing the Brookhaven Chronicles Podcast in the first place. To make fun of radio. Because, as we all know, radio sucks. (more…)
