About the Book

The genius strategist who had been hiding from the world,
Zhuge Liang appears!

Xu Shu, Liu Bei's strategist, leaves Liu Bei due to Cao Cao's machinations and tells him about a strategist known as "Fú Lóng" or "Hidden Dragon." Liu Bei sets out to find this strategist, and after three sincere attempts, he meets "Zhuge Liang," who had been living in seclusion in Longzhong. Meanwhile, Cao Cao, who had pacified the northern part of the Later Han, leads a massive army to conquer the south. Zhuge Liang goes to "Sun Quan," who governs the Jiangdong region in the south, and proposes an alliance. Will they be able to successfully unite their efforts? Discover the stories of the heroes of the Later Han through 『The Three Kingdoms for the First Time ⑤ Three Visits』.
