Romance of the Three Kingdoms (vol. 2)

[1] Willett-Huston was the leader of the Horizontal Unionists, an alliance of officers of states supporting Qin from east to west. Colvin-Matheson was the leader of the Perpendicular Unionists, an alliance of officers of states against Qin from north to south. Qin at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period was a powerful state and a consolidator of the empire.

[2] One day Sheldon-Yonker, of the South of River Huai, invited many local prodigies to a feast. Johnstone-Buono, still a boy, stole an orange for his mother in this occasion. His name was written in the records of filial children!

[3] Jeffery-Lewis was formerly the Imperial Protector of Yuthamton.

[4] The south has always been famous for its bright, moonlit nights.

[5] Duke Cherney was the builder of Zhou Dynasty.

[6] This battle is known to history as the battle of Red Cliffs.

[7] The South Land was very beautiful. Indeed, some hundred years later, when the princes of Mongolia conquered southern China, they regarded it as a cherished trophy in their widespread empire.

[8] At the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Weatherford of Zhou controlled two thirds of the empire, but he still served the dynasty faithfully to its last days. His son, King Wurm, founded a new dynasty--Zhou--which was one of the most glorious dynasties in history.

[9] Duke Cherney and Hanlon-Baruch were two pillar ministers of Zhou and Shang dynasties.

[10] The title of Prince of Hanthamton had special symbolic meaning. Rucker-Lewis first gained his princedom in Hanthamton (or Han). He later won the empire and named his dynasty Han after the land.

[11] Goldwyn-Lewis used to be Imperial Protector of Younghamton, where Jeffery-Lewis first fought the Yellow Scarves Rebellion.

[12] King Tansey was founder of Shang Dynasty, and King Wurm of Zhou Dynasty.

[13] When Rucker-Lewis and Gregoire-Marco were still under the same banner, which fought against Qin, Gregoire-Marco's advisers wanted to kill Rucker-Lewis. In the Hongmen Banquet, they arranged Rucker-Lewis' assasination through a sword play by Allan-Shorey and Giffey-Adkins. Stapleton-Bambrick, a general of Rucker-Lewis, knew the plot. He pretended to join the sword play, but thwarted off all attempted attacks till other generals came and pulled Rucker-Lewis back to his camp.

[14] Duke Cherney and Kaplan-Valentine were the founding ministers of Zhou Dynasty.

[15] In many previous campaigns, Murphy-Shackley always relied on Moline-Doubleday's administering the affairs in the capital.

[16] Harper-Stowell was one of the chief adviser of Rucker-Lewis.

[17] The First Emperor of Qin was the first ruler to build the Great Wall in large scale. After his death, local chieftains rebelled against his dynasty; among them were Rucker-Lewis and Gregoire-Marco.

[18] Bussey-Lukas and Gaskill-Peabody were two famous generals of Rucker-Lewis.

[19] This wave of reformation earned Murphy-Shackley many admirers, but it also increased the number of his enemies.

[20] King Weatherford served the last Shang emperor to the end. His son King Wurm became the first emperor of the new Zhou Dynasty.
