The Three Kingdoms: The Prodigal Son of Shu Han, starting with a fiery blaze at Wolong Ridge.

Summary

At Zhou Yu's memorial, Liu Mang attends alongside Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. He consoles Zhou Yu’s widow, Xiao Qiao, offering future support for Zhou's son in Jingnan. Sun Quan feels threatened by Liu Mang's words, which imply the treatment of Zhou Yu’s family under his rule is lacking. During a tense exchange, Liu Mang criticizes Sun Quan's handling of loyal subjects and discusses Jiangling's strategic value, refusing to "borrow" the city, and instead suggesting the relocation of its population. Sun Quan proposes an alliance to seize Xiangyang, which Liu Mang agrees to, with a warning against future conflicts at He Fei. Liu Mang leaves gold and silver for Zhou Yu's widow and sister-in-law, expressing concern for their welfare post-Zhou’s death. Tai Shi Ci, a warrior, refuses invitations from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, choosing to stay with Wu Hou despite warnings from Liu Mang, who promises to look after Tai Shi Ci’s son. The chapter concludes with Tai Shi Ci entrusting his son to Liu Mang before heading to battle, uncertain of whether future encounters will see them as allies or enemies.
