Abstract

Sam Kok or later would be known as Romance of The Three Kingdoms was a famous novel created by Luo Guanzhong based on turmoil era in China. I wanted to focus on the character of Zhuge Liang ( Kong Ming), one of the famous strategist and military leader of Shu. This paper was directed to answer two basic questions about the problems. They were first, How Zhuge Liang`s political strategy is represented in Luo Guanzhong`s Sam Kok; second, How Zhuge Liang' s finding for support environment in creating political strategy is represented in Luo Guanzhong‟s Sam Kok. The theory used in this paper was taken from the book entitled Teori Kesusastraan by Wellek and Warren (2001). His theory about the literature was used to analyze the data source. I also applied the other theories that are considered relevant to the topic of discussion in this paper. There were some steps done in collecting data after mastering the theories. The method that I used in collecting the data was library research. When the data were collected and identified, the data were rewritten and they were classified according to their types. Finally, the data were analyzed descriptively using the theory of literature. Zhuge Liang`s political strategy was represented in his battle of Red Cliff and his 5 military campaigns to the north. He pesuaded Wu to clash against Wei so that he could led Shu taking West China. Zhuge Liang's forefathers were prominent servants of the state, but he was orphaned early in his youth. As a child, he was forced to flee his home (province of Shantung) during the slaughter of 400,000 civilians by Cao Cao, the powerful warlord of the Wei state. The origin of his knowledgebase in "science, statecraft, and art" is unknown to many. It has been said that much of his learning was through his own process of researching and self-teaching. Other stories have Zhuge Liang learning from Pang De Gong (a famous educator-thinker of that era). Zhuge Liang advises Liu Bei to ally with Wu and retake the west China from Liu Zhang. The West China is a hard to tranverse area so it makes that place easely defended places. By taking it. It gives Liu Bei enough land and man power to oppose the two other kingdoms and creating the three kingdoms formation. Zhuge Liang always use environment to his benefit. In battle of Chibi for example, When newly trained naval army of Cao Cao in total of one million strong is defeated by tens of thousands strong army of Wu and Shu. Zhuge Liang advise Pang Tong to spy Cao Cao and advise him to tie the ships with chains so that the armies can walk on the board easily and not getting sea-sick. Then Zhuge Liamg calls wind and use fire tactic to obliterate Cao Cao armies.
