Riddle of Ages: Travelling Through History

[Optical]

Edit: never mind.

 

[Terrance888]

Nope.

Kingdoms there are three
And for two I have fought
One for brotherhood
One for surrendur

 

[Tee Kay]

Did you misspell surrender deliberately?

 

[JohannaK]

He must have. For the sake of rhymes.

 

[Optical]

El Cid?

 

[Terrance888]

In the land at the center
Of the great land of Han
There lies three kingdoms
Three brothers own one
A Strategists another
A tactician the third
But no one matches
My might

 

[JohannaK]

Well, I figured out China since long ago, but I'm afraid I don't knoe Chinese people from that time...

 

[Terrance888]

It's detailing a particular main character in a particular famous book about a particularly famous time in Chinese History.

 

[JohannaK]

Oh yes, I locate the time. But not any of the others

 

[strijder20]

Famous book?
I'm afraid I only know Sun Tzu.

 

[JohannaK]

Me too. But that has no characters, AFAIK.

 

[Terrance888]

Tvtropes has an entry on my awesomeness.

 

[Milarqui]

It is from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Is it Lu Bu?

 

[Terrance888]

Yes for the book.

Nope for the person.

 

[strijder20]

Liu Bei?

 

[Terrance888]

Getting closer.

 

[strijder20]

It's Guan Yu, I suppose.

 

[Terrance888]

WINNAH YEAh!

 

[strijder20]

Hurray!

A man in the past with ideas from the future.
In clouds his mind dwell.
Artist, scientist and engineer.

 

[JohannaK]

Leonardo Da Vinci?
