At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was young, his relatives were autocratic, and eunuchs interfered in politics. After the death of Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne, and the power fell into the hands of the Ten Standing Attendants. They betrayed the officials and harmed the people, expropriated and extorted violently, and the officials forced the people to rebel, and finally in the first month of the seventh year of Emperor Guanghe of the Eastern Han Dynasty (184 AD), the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept through the Central Plains broke out. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered the landlord Haoqiang to lead the troops to suppress it, and the states recruited troops to garrison.

Recruitment notices were posted at the gate of Zhuoxian County. Among the onlookers, there is a red-faced man, his name is Guan Yu, a native of Xie County, Hedong, because he killed Haoqiang in his hometown, he went to Zhuo County and made a living selling mung beans. There was also one person in the crowd who read the list and sighed. When a black-faced man saw this, he said to the sighing man: "The big husband doesn't contribute to the country, but sighs here, what is the big husband?" The sighing young man's name is Liu Bei, who was originally a relative of the Han family, lost his father at a young age, lived in Zhuo County with his mother, and made a living by weaving mats and selling people. The black-faced man is named Zhang Fei, who runs a local butcher shop and specializes in making friends with the world's heroes. He used to put the pork that he could not sell in a well and cover it with a grinding plate, and whoever could remove the grinding plate could take the meat from the well at will.

Someone came to Zhang Fei's butcher shop to buy meat, but the guy couldn't get the meat, Guan Yu came over and removed the grinding plate, and took all the pork from the well and distributed it to everyone. Zhang Fei learned that he wanted to be separated from Guan Yu, and when the two were inseparable, he was pulled away by Liu Bei on the side.

In Zhang Fei's house, Liu Guan and Zhang drank and talked, they were like-minded, so they worshiped as brothers in the peach forest, vowing: "Work together to save the needy; Report to the state, under An Lishu; I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. ”

Then the three brothers came to the blacksmith shop and each shot their weapons: Liu Bei made a double-strand sword, Guan Yu made a Qinglong Yanyue knife, and Zhang Fei made a Zhangba snake spear.

The Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed, and Liu Bei made a lot of military achievements, but he only became the county lieutenant of Anxi County, Zhongshan Prefecture.

Soon, the Ten Standing Servants ordered the local Taishou to send superintendents to visit and take the opportunity to eliminate a group of local officials.

The county governor came to Anxi County to inspect, was arrogant and rude to Liu Bei, and asked for bribes. When Zhang Fei learned of this, he was furious, and tied up the superintendent and whipped him with wicker. Liu Bei rushed to hear the news, and when he saw the superintendent begging for mercy, he ordered Zhang Fei to stop. Guan Yu believes: "In the thorny bushes, it is not a place for the phoenix, it is better to abandon the official and return to the hometown." So the three brothers abandoned their official positions and left.

Episode 2: Ten Standing Servants in Troubled Politics

After the main force of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, the local separatist forces developed rapidly, and the struggle between relatives and eunuchs became increasingly acute.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was critically ill, and around the battle for the throne, the ten Zhongchang attendants led by Zhang Rang and the general He Jinjin, the uncle of the country, had a fierce struggle.

Emperor Ling had two sons, He Housheng was the prince of the prince, and Wang Meisheng was the prince of the association. Empress He was jealous, poisoned Wang Meiren, and the prince was raised in the palace of the Empress Dowager Dong. After the death of Emperor Ling, in order to establish Liu Xie as emperor, the Ten Standing Servants wanted to get rid of He Jin first. When He Jin learned the news, he discussed with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others to eliminate the eunuchs. He Hou was originally established as the queen by the power of eunuchs, so she was influenced by Zhang Rang and others to stop her. Cao Cao suggested: The throne should be corrected first, and then the thief should be begged. He Jin supported the crown prince in front of the Ling Emperor's coffin to defend the succession to the throne, and the Empress Dowager He came to the court to assist the government, and He Jin participated in the Shangshu affairs with the general to control the government. Empress Dowager Dong was instigated by Zhang Rang and others, and also went to Linchao to listen to the government, named the prince association as the king of Chen Liu, and crowned the uncle Dong Zhong as the hussar general, and reused the ten permanent servants, intending to be equal to Queen He.

He Jin sent the Empress Dowager Dong back to her hometown of Hejian under the pretext of sending someone to poison the Empress Dowager; and summoned foreign soldiers into Beijing, trying to punish the eunuchs. Unexpectedly, the ten permanent servants planned in advance, and falsely passed on the Empress Dowager He's decree and summoned He into the palace. He Jin did not listen to the dissuasion of Chen Lin and Cao Cao, entered the palace alone, and was killed by Zhang Rang in the Jiade Palace. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led their troops into the palace, killed all the eunuchs, and the palace was on fire, and in the chaos, Zhang Rang and Duan Jue abducted the young emperor Liu Wei and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, and escaped from the palace.

Cao Cao sent troops to pursue Zhang Rang and Duan Qi to find the young emperor. All ten of them died in the melee.

The young emperor and King Chen Liuwang hid in the grass and stayed up until dawn before they were discovered by Situ Wang Yun and other ministers of civil and military affairs. Just about to return to the dynasty, suddenly from afar came to Xiliang to stab Shi Dong Zhuo, he had already had ambitions, and took advantage of the chaos in Luoyang to lead troops into Beijing.

At this point, the eunuch power was completely wiped out, but an even greater war began.

Episode 3: Dong Zhuoba Jingshi

Dong Zhuo led 200,000 horses to be stationed near the capital, and no one took off his armor and the horse did not leave the saddle. Every day when they entered the city, the ironclad army opened the way, ran rampant in the streets, and brutalized the people.

In order to gain prestige, he planned to abolish the young emperor Liu Wei and set up a new monarch.

One day, Dong Zhuo hosted a banquet for hundreds of officials in Wenmingyuan and proposed the abolition of the establishment, which was opposed by Ding Yuan, the assassin of Jingzhou. Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Ding Yuan, but because he saw a majestic general behind Ding Yuan, he didn't dare to make a move, this general was Ding Yuan's righteous son Lu Bu.

In order to get rid of Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo's advisor Li Su came to Lu Bu's camp with a red rabbit horse and a lot of money to persuade Lu Bu to join Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu, who was brave and unscrupulous, forgot his righteousness for profit, killed his father-in-law Ding Yuan that night and became Dong Zhuo's son.

Dong Zhuo discussed the abolition of the establishment again, but Yuan Shao was unwilling to submit and left angrily.

Dong Zhuo got Lu Bu, like a tiger with wings, and he was even more unscrupulous. Captain Wu Fu of the Yue Cavalry was armed with a sharp blade and tried to stab Dong Zhuo to death, but the assassination failed, and he was killed. Dong Zhuo forcibly abolished and poisoned the young emperor Liu Wei, forced the Empress Dowager He to death, and strangled the imperial concubine; Immediately, the nine-year-old Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, was appointed as the emperor (that is, the emperor) and proclaimed himself the prime minister.

Episode 4: Meng De presents a knife

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he abolished the emperor, brutalized the people, and was desolate and tyrannical, arousing the anger of the ministers. One day, Situ Wang Yun pretended to celebrate his birthday and invited several former ministers to his mansion to talk. When he talked about it: "It is difficult to protect the society", he couldn't help but hide his face and cry. Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiaoqi school, volunteered to assassinate Dong Zhuo. He borrowed the seven-star treasure knife from Wang Yun and came to Dong Zhuoxiang's mansion to wait for the opportunity to assassinate. Dong Zhuo was resting in the small pavilion in the garden, and he asked Cao Cao, "Why are you late?" Cao Cao said that because the horse was too thin. Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to choose a good horse for Cao Cao, and Lu Bu left the pavilion.

Dong Zhuo felt sleepy, lying down, when he turned over face in, Cao Cao hurriedly pulled out the treasure knife, just about to stab, but Dong Zhuo saw Cao Cao draw the knife from the bronze mirror, hurriedly turned around and asked Cao, at this time Lu Bu had already led the horse to the small pavilion, Cao Cao was in a hurry, immediately knelt down with the knife and said: "close to the Qibao knife a mouthful, offer grace." Dong Zhuo took the treasure knife and liked it very much, so he asked Cao Cao to go out of the pavilion to see the horse, and Cao Cao led the horse out of the prime minister's mansion, flew on the horse, and escaped from Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo noticed that something was wrong and knew that it was Cao Cao who assassinated, so he ordered all over the country to draw shadows and graphics to arrest Cao Cao. Cao Cao wanted to return to his hometown, passed through Zhongmu County, and was recognized by the county commander Chen Gong. Chen Gong learned that Cao Cao was going to call on the princes of the world to raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and was moved by his ambition, so he abandoned his official position and followed Cao Cao. One day, they stayed at the house of Cao Cao's old friend Lu Bohao, who went to a neighboring village to buy wine to entertain the two.

Cao Cao heard the sound of knives and human words when killing pigs in the Lu family's kitchen, and suspected that the Lu family wanted to harm him and killed Lu Bohao's family by mistake. In order to avoid leaving trouble, on the way, he killed Lu Bohao, who came back from buying wine. Chen Gong blamed Cao Cao for not "knowingly killing". Cao Cao sneered: "Rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me." ”

Chen Gong was unwilling to follow such an unkind and unrighteous person, and gave up his exercises.

After Cao Cao fled back to Chenliu, he scattered all his wealth, recruited troops, and prepared to contact Yuan Shao and others to discuss Dong Zhuo.

Eighteen roads marched into Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo sent the brave general Huaxiong to meet him. Yuan Shu was afraid that Sun Jian would take the lead, so he deliberately did not distribute grain and grass, resulting in Sun Jian's defeat. Huaxiong beheaded Bao Zhong, Zu Mao, Yu She, and Pan Feng several generals in succession, and the princes from all walks of life were shocked. Guan Yu volunteered to fight, but because of his low status, he was despised by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Cao Cao praised Guan Yu's courage and ordered a glass of hot wine to strengthen Guan Yu's courage. Guan Yu said: "Put down the wine, I'll come when I go." He went out of his tent and took his sword, and flew on his horse. I only heard the drums outside the tent vibrating and shouting, and the princes from all walks of life were in shock, Guan Yu had already carried Huaxiong's head back to the tent, and the glass of wine was still warm.
