Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast

Liu Bei's team of old warhorses takes another hit, but two young stallions are waiting in the wings. This episode is brought to you by special guest Kaiser Kuo, host of the Sinica Podcast.

With Liu Bei bearing down on them, the Southlands try to tell him that they didn't really mean to kill Guan Yu; it was all a simple misunderstanding. We swear!

No, not him, too!! Another major character bites the dust.

You would think the end of a 400-year dynasty would have more action than this, but it's all just decrees, counter-decrees, speeches, humble brags, and an unusually strong gust of wind.

Cao Cao's third son finds out what passes for brotherly love in his family.

Cao Cao grapples with mortality and legacy.

We bid farewell to the Lord of the Beautiful Beard and talk about that time when Cao Cao stole the woman Guan Yu was going to steal from someone else.

Guan Yu's ghost finds inner peace ... and then starts killing and spooking people.

Defeated and leaking troops by the minute, Guan Yu makes a desperate dash for safety.

While Guan Yu is busy fighting Cao Cao's forces, Lü Meng and Dongwu try to catch him unawares.
