About This Novel
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and the Eastern Han Dynasty regime was in danger. As a feudal scholar-bureaucrat with a strong ambition for fame, Jia Xu believed that the time had come to help others in danger and make contributions, so he joined the army and served as a captain of the army under Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and general Niu Fu. In the first year of Chuping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 190), Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Jian and other warlords fought for power and territory, so they launched troops one after another in the name of attacking Dong Zhuo. They jointly recommended Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, as the leader of the alliance, and surrounded Luoyang from the north, east and west. Dong Zhuo was threatened, so he took Emperor Xian of Han hostage and moved the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an. Soon, the crusade armies of the temporary alliance did not advance towards Chang'an, but instead attacked each other for their own interests.
