The year is 190AD and peace has lasted for about a minute since the Yellow Turban rebellion and the defeat of the Ten Eunuchs. A new threat has quickly emerged in the form of the powerful warlord Dong Zhuo. During the eunuchs rebellion, Dong Zhuo managed to use the chaos to sieze the capital and the Imperial Court making him the most powerful man in China and the biggest threat to the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo not only had the biggest army in the land but his troops were veterans of the Liang uprising and the most feared and battled hardened force in the land but Dong Zhuo had another ace up his sleeve and that was Lu Bu. His name struck fear into the hearts of men, no one wanted to cross swords with the greatest warrior China has ever seen.
Despite the overwhelming odds in the favour of Dong Zhuo a few brave heroes rose up against the tyrant. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu formed a great coalition of regional warlords to oppose the great dictator. Yuan Shao was named leader of the coalition and soon more flocked to their cause, including Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan. The fate of china was soon to be decided.
