Legends of Dynasty, THREE KINGDOMS Vol. 6

Liu Bei has chosen to challenge Cao Cao for the role of the most powerful man in China. But on the eve of battle, Liu Bei's ally, Yuan Shao, fails to support him, and Liu Bei must run for his life. This leaves Guan Yu alone to fend for himself against Cao Cao, who is keen to have a man of his courage and honor on his side. Can Cao Cao convince Guan Yu to change allegiance? Can Guan Yu serve two masters? What will happen when a decision is made?

Guan Yu's pledge isn't that different from pledges taken by others in the story; like Guan Yu, Cao Cao has pledged to restore China and bring peace to its people. But what separates the two is that Guan Yu made his pledge while also entering into blood brotherhood with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. This makes Guan Yu's pledge stronger and easier to uphold, because he's fighting not just for principle, but also for two other people. Guan Yu's infailable commitment of his two brothers gives him a sense of inner peace, and that inner peace gives him a resolute calm in the face of Cao Cao's repeated attempts to lure him away. Guan Yu fights not just for something, he fights for someone.
