[Transmigration + Three Kingdoms + Political Scheming + Battles of Wits + Generals + Character Growth + The Art of War]
Year 191, Qishan, Liangzhou.
Transmigrator Chen Yu only wanted to survive the chaotic age, but after his superior framed him, he was forced to flee into the mountains with just over a hundred battered soldiers.
Fortunately, he wasn’t alone.
His fellow disciple Yang Yi, the direct heir of the Yang clan of Jixian, could bring down a city with the divine strength of his Cloud-Soaring Golden Dragon Saber.
His brother from a humble family, Li Xin, a descendant of Li Guang, had mastered the art of war by the time his Frostlight Sword was drawn.
The title “Three Heroes of Hanyang” had once been a chivalrous badge of honor for punishing evil and upholding justice. Now, it made them thorns in the side of the warlords, who were determined to pull them out by the roots.
Ma Teng’s three thousand iron cavalry surrounded the mountain. Han Sui’s spies infiltrated their ranks. The Qiang tribes eyed them with suspicion. And then there was Jia Xu, the poisonous strategist coolly contemplating the board in Didau. Everyone waited to see how these three young men who didn’t know their place would meet their end in Qishan.
In these barren mountains, Chen Yu kindled the first spark of a different kind.
Beneath the blood-red sky of Dong Zhuo’s tyranny and the warlords’ rise, he carved out a haven called Minggu against all odds.
But a chaotic age never allows outsiders to live in peace.
When the marriage procession joining Ma Teng and Han Sui passed through Qishan, when Jia Xu’s secret letter arrived bearing eight more words, when the Qiang tribes sent an alliance pact stained with blood
Chen Yu knew the real test had begun.
Should they live on their knees, blending into this world that devoured the weak?
Or die on their feet, carving a bloody path forward for the more than three hundred people who trusted them?
This is the “rebellious” manifesto that three young men wrote in the late Eastern Han, with blades and blood, grain and soil.
It is also transmigrator Chen Yu’s hardest slap in the face to this dark age:
If this realm has no justice, then I’ll build a new world in Qishan.
