V. Story introduction
At the twilight of the Eastern-Han Dynasty of ancient China, under the reign
of the frail and incompetent emperor HAN-LING, the country was in disarray
when the government was run by a group of corrupted eunuchs-theso-called
"Ten Attendants". Hardship and famine finally threw the country into turmoil.
The rebellion quickly spread over the country. The rebels were known as
"Yellow Scarfs" because they covered their heads with yellow scarfs. To get
the full support of the generals in the military regions, Emperor HAN-LING
entrusted them with more military power to put down the uprising. The
Yellow Scarfs were finally crushed but at the expense of the central
government which saw its autority threatened by the generals turned warlords.
One of these warlords, DONG ZHUO, on the pretext of dislodging the Ten
Attendants, marched into the capital city LUOYANG and then usurped the
throne. Although DONG ZHUO was quickly defeated by other allied generals, the
turmoil was far from over. As the weakened Eastern-Han Dynasty no longer
had authority over the whole country, every warlord was watching for the
opportunity to take over the leadership. After ten years of suffering from
numerous battles between warlords, the people in northern China finally had
some respite when CAO CAO, a Machiavellian strategist, eliminated all his
opponents in the North.
Not content with his sucesses in the North, CAO CAO wanted to reign over
the whole China by eliminating the rest of the warlords in the South. His
first target was LIU BEI who, being a royal prince of the Eastern-Han Dynasty,
has a legitimate claim to the throne. Though small in force, LIU BEI was well
enternched in the country of JING, and he knew how to preserve himself by
allying with a neighboruing warlord SUN QUAN. Together they engineered a
serious below to the ambition of CAO CAO when they defeated his great army in
the Campaign of CHIBI. Having suffered a great loss, CAO CAO had no
alternative buttoretreat to the north. Taking advantages of his military
success, LIU BEI went further to occupy the region of SICHUAN so as to
consolidate his position in the country of JING. With the help of his five
intrepid generals-GUAN YU, ZHANG FEI, ZHAO YUN, MA CAO and HUANG ZHONG, he
managed to build up an army strong enough to wrestle alone with CAO CAO. With
the aim of restoring the Eastern-Han Dynasty, he now sets off to the North to
confront CAO CAO. But CAO CAO is by no means a chicken. He also has many
experienced generals like DIAN WEI, XU XU and XIAHOU CHUN holding out in
various fortresses. Will LIU BEI over come all these obstacles on his way to
the North? Will he finally defeat CAO CAO to restore the Eastern-Han Dynasty?
