Transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms: The Rise of a Giant Dragon

Zhao Bin, a modern man, transmigrates to the late Eastern Han dynasty into the body of a young aristocrat from a small county in southwestern Shandong. After drinking a bowl of talisman water from Zhang Ning, Zhang Jiao’s daughter, he becomes entangled with Zhang Mancheng on the eve of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Fortunately, he meets his fellow townsman, the great scholar Cheng Yu, who advises him to buy an official post so he can protect himself in the chaos to come. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out, he gathers talented officials and military leaders amid the turmoil. Starting out in Donglai Commandery, he takes in Zhang Ning, who has fled there for refuge, welcomes refugees, and advances technology. He opens trade with Xuzhou and competes with Liu Bei for the Mi family. When Dong Zhuo holds power, he uses clever schemes to protect Empress He and Liu Bian. Gongsun Kang of Liaodong launches repeated attacks. Zhao Bin builds a navy, conquers Liaodong, campaigns against Goguryeo, annexes Japan, and expands his realm. He brings in scholars and men of principle who have fled to Liaodong, and begins teaching. During the Battle of Guandu, he helps Cao Cao destroy Yuan Shao and divide up Hebei. After Cao Cao annexes Jingzhou, Zhao Bin protects Lady Cai and Liu Cong. When someone informs on him, Cao Cao joins forces with Jiangdong and invades under the pretext of suppressing the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Supporters of Liu Bian also seize the chance to advance their own ambitions. Beset by crises at home and abroad, Zhao Bin finally understands that power grows from the barrel of a gun: he must repel outside enemies and pacify the realm within. He annihilates the invading forces and unifies China. A great dragon rises in the East.
