I wonder

Do you think Ling Tong Was a bit harsh on Gan Ning. Whopper 19:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ling Tong's Anger

Not to be mean nor rude, but if anyone murders your parents or a person that you look up to then, I believe the tension or emotion that the person has towards the other will be so great that he/she will want to seek revenge against the murderer.

Moreover, Ling Tong did exactly or acted they way anyone would do if a murderer kills your father/mother who was a person for their county and fought for the ones they care about. (Even if the general is doing their duty for their leader.) --Zhang Liao 02:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gan Ning killed his father, so Ling Tong wanted to kill Gan Ning, But as the article says Gan Ning be all means saved his life in his duel. So from there on Ling Tong simply became friends/ rivals with Gan Ning, he tries various ways to out do him, and surpass him. In the game (DW5) Ling tong challenges Gan Ning to a board game in an attemp to beat him. - By some guy

This article needs to be cleaned up.

Look at this quote for instance:

"However, despite the man's awesome prowess"

It's also strange that the article doesn't make a distinction between novel and history information. There is also a problem with the timeline. The article also gives the impression that Gan Ning stopped being a boodthirsty murderer after "reading literature". Of course, it was very convenient for whoever wrote this article to leave out the incidence with Lu Meng and the kitchen boy.--195.229.242.54 02:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

gan nings death

Is not right that gan ning killed by Sha Moke a chiften under Liu Bei how afterwards tracked and killed by Zhou Tai?--CortezVII 01:06, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gan Ning actually died of illness, before the battle with shu, only in the novel, (as a show of respect to his character I'm asuming) does he go into battle and be killed by shamoke. Zhou tai DID kill shamoke, but not for Gan Ning.

Work or Element of Fiction?

This Three Kingdoms-related article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. Please help rewrite it to explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective. (October 2009)

I understand that this has some reference to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it's not fiction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.102.5.89 (talk) 01:25, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The current version is in accord with historical accuracy (unpon personally review), but cn should be added.----EkmanLi (talk) 19:35, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A few provisions about previous edition

I addressed at least 2 facts in the earlier edition:

Gan was a gov official when he was young
His followers were tricked to leave him

The first statement was given in Liu Yan's bio. Gan started a minor rebellion against Liu Zhang when the latter succeeded Liu Yan. The second comes from the Book of Wu. Look at this line: (祖都督苏飞数荐宁，祖不用，令人化诱其客，客稍亡。) The guests or personal militia belonged to Gan, not Huang, so the latter had no right to "reassign" them. Huang disliked Gan but wanted to absorb his forces.
