Features: Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and others were not only the prominent figures of the Three Kingdoms era but also focal points for later generations of politicians, military strategists, and literary artists, leading to the creation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The book's tone of denigrating Cao Cao and praising Liu Bei is quite evident, and both mainstream academia and the general public in China have been fascinated by it. However, the author of this book, after reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms for over thirty years, has turned away from it, believing that the novel distorts historical truth. Using abundant historical facts, the book refutes the various claims about Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, chapter by chapter. Its critiques are unique and refreshing.
