Spy novels about the Three Kingdoms are not uncommon. At least in Ma Boyong's place, there is a movie "Wind in Longxi", which is a masterpiece here and worth seeing.

The book The Spy Shadow of the Three Kingdoms Dingjun Mountain is also a spy war novel with the background of the Three Kingdoms period, so it is natural to compare the two.

Of course, there is no first place in literature, so the results of comparison are naturally different. However, nature has advantages, that is, you can see the differences between the two books and their respective advantages.

Generally speaking, spy novels can be divided into two types. One is to know who the spy is, and the reader sees how the spy experiences danger, obtains information and completes the task. The thunderous 007 is such a character. The other is to catch spies. Readers don't know who the spy is, just like reading a mystery novel, they catch the spy through clues.

Wind in Longxi belongs to the latter, focusing the main conflict of the plot on the identity of the spy. Of course, The Wind in Longxi has other motives on the basis of catching spies. But anyway, it is a traditional spy novel. Although the story is very "Three Kingdoms", it is equally feasible to put the characters and the plot in another background.

On the other hand, the whole book tries to combine the actions of spies with catching spies. This can be done because the whole book has a conspiracy theory background. It is not uncommon to use conspiracy theories to explain history in contemporary novels. For example, the "* * * Economic Association" is a behind-the-scenes hand that has been worn out. When this conspiracy theory is combined with history, it has a different charm. This is what I call a breakthrough.

The book Dingjun Mountain in the Dark War is titled Dingjun Mountain, but the actual wrestling focuses on the Hanzhong War commanded by Cao Cao and the satirical rebellion of Wei in the twenty-four years of Jian 'an. Regarding the latter, the records in the history books are also very brief and can be inferred. It is generally believed that this matter is a rebellion of Jingzhou people under Cao Cao.

The combination of the two elements mentioned above is also realized because of the difference in physical space. On the front line in Hanzhong, we saw how spies completed their tasks; In Xudu, the main focus is on how to find spies. The two clues are carried out separately, but both involve a key question, who is behind the espionage. There are many conspiracies in the book. Strictly speaking, the author didn't give a complete answer, just threw us an acceptable answer. But it is conceivable that a deeper answer will undoubtedly appear in the next series of works. The framework of this conspiracy theory is enough to support the author's creative ambition and attract readers to continue reading.

As for what "ice cicada" is and how it works. In this book, it's just a glimpse. Whether this mysterious setting can be logically closed and whether it can fill the big hole depends on how to write it.
