Three Kingdoms Volume 10

Bei Liu was homeless and nearly powerless when he took a risk and asked Liang ZhuGe to be his senior military strategist. But the gamble has more than paid off. Liang ZhuGe has already changed the balance of power between the three kingdoms, and he will soon prove that some battles can be won without weapons.

Three armies. Thousands of ships. Millions of soldiers. Decades of war come to a head when Bei Liu and Quan Sun form a tentative alliance to do battle against Cao Cao at Red Cliffs. The all-or-nothing outcome means that the victor will have the upper hand in the struggle for the throne. But it also means that a single miscalculation can have devastating consequences.

"Starting today, I will formally become the king of this Kingdom of Friedonia." Having returned from the Union of Eastern Nations and rested awhile, the ceremony that will turn Souma from a provisional king to the true king is rapidly approaching. Because Souma's marriage to his fiancées is to be held on the same day, the capital gets more lively than ever! Meanwhile, using his own marriage as an impetus, Souma encourages his retainers to get married, too. Those who are already engaged to be married, those who aren't ready to be husband and wife yet, those who haven't even recognized their own love—Souma shows concern for all his retainers' different circumstances... The revolutionary administrative fantasy series, volume ten!

Six years ago, Bei Liu was told of a plan that would allow him to one day win control of China and restore greatness to his beloved homeland. Now he is within reach of his goal, but he will discover that the closer he gets, the longer his list of adversaries, for nothing binds people together quite like a common enemy.

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

From the time Bei Liu swore to defend his nation, he has learned to rely on a handful of people to help him survive. But as his power grows, so do the number of people who surround him?some by choice and some by arrangement. Bei Liu is wary of new allies, but he will soon learn that sometimes people are a whole lot more valuable than they seem.

Bei Liu continues to grow stronger, yet he refuses to listen to his advisors when they urge him to set aside morality and do what needs to be done to save the nation. But the path to power does not follow a high road, and soon Bei Liu will confront betrayal that will tear more than one life apart.

Bei Liu has become one of the three most powerful men in China, which means he must learn how to defend himself on multiple fronts. Now, Bei Liu must dispatch his two sworn brothers to keep the territories he has fought long and hard to gain. If they succeed, their dream will be one step closer to realized. If they fail, it will all come crashing down.
