The Late Han: Rising from the Frontier

Late Han Three Kingdoms + Liberation + Reform + Red Ideology

I've read a lot of Three Kingdoms stories, and their general themes are all pretty similar. I'm getting tired of them. Are there any that do something different? Something like: build a base and develop in the early stages, recruit famous generals and build a reputation; rise to prominence and fight for the realm in the middle; then unify China, reform the world, and establish democracy in the end.

Any Stories Where the Protagonist Transmigrates Into a Minor Warlord's Faction at the End of the Han Dynasty and Gradually Unifies the Land?
