They actually combined his character with another from the novel.... and poorly at that. But i guess it was to…
Thanks for clarifying that. I haven't read the novel yet (I plan to once I'm done watching), so that actually makes sense as to why his character seems to change, and your assessment of why (side with his faction) does make sense here.
i feel soo bad for changyu she been kept in dark for soo long
I've been feeling this way for some time. Poor girl learning about her father the way she did was heartbreaking. At least she has a feeling something isn't quite right with the story she was given, and I hope she finally learns the truth. Basically, everyone who was important to her has lied to her. That has to hurt.
I am really disappointed with Li Huai An. He took out his failings on FCY. After the past skirmishes/battles, I can only assume that he has a leadership role due to his relationship (protege) with General He, rather than actual talent. That guy needs to learn to stay off the battlefield, as that is definitely not one of his strengths. To say what he did to FCY was uncalled for, and I hope he doesn't keep going down this man-baby road.
Not a hater, but the war plot is really messed up. Half the time, they don’t even explain anything.In that mountain…
1. Yes, when an army is left without its leader, the battle is essentially over (and they lost). So yes, the ML's army was the victor because once the opposing general was dead, the foot soldiers fled. This is a fairly standard military tactic.
2. Half the people had to remain at the dam to not alert the enemy as to their plans. This was explained by the Grand Tutor. They saved as many as they could, but they needed some to stay behind so the Sui army couldn't figure out what they were up to.
3. In the latest battle, they did split their forces into three fronts. General He stayed to protect the city itself; ML went to confront the main force in a surprise attack; and Li Huai An was in the rear to support the ML. They knew they had fewer numbers, so they had to use alternative battle tactics to gain the advantage, which they ultimately did.
Much of this is explained by different characters, but some is more obvious if you know anything about military tactics.
I understand your point, but I think there’s an important nuance. Sure, the Marquis has a name that inspires…
I have to agree with Rtconnect regarding Li Wenkan. FCY made the best decision for the soldiers by knocking Li Wenkan out and taking over. She showed actual leadership. With him being so wounded, he would more than likely have gotten more people killed, and they could have potentially lost the battle. As a leader, you need to know when to make a decision for the greater good. He is better at strategy than at actual fighting. If he were a true leader, he would have assessed his injuries and known it would be better not to blindly go on and use his soldiers, including FCY, in a better capacity. Instead, he just wanted to fight and die for "honor" without actually thinking things through.
I agree! I’m getting annoyed that her character comes across as uncouth and ignorant, just like her master called…
I'm not sure how all that is going to go down (also haven't read the book yet), so this is just my preliminary assessment. I don't think she knows he is a prince (not like they have name cards/relationship charts hanging around). I agree it is not a great choice, but she is also not working on the full info.
People she literally knows and is friends with the Strategist - if she had ANY idea and wasn't sure about it she…
It's not so much being dumb as not having enough information to make a better decision. She is in the dark about a lot of things, so she can only do so much with the info she has. I lay this predominantly at Xie Zheng's feet.
Yes, it is a little odd that it gets to him that way, but I was thinking -- if I were a real soldier that is exactly…
While I'm not a fan of his keeping his identity hidden this long, this is probably a big factor in why he is dragging his feet. He knows that once she knows, there will probably be some differences because he is not just some random guy. So I can give him a bit of slack for that. Poor dude doesn't have much love in his life.
