In the vast Tianchen Continent, there once was a powerful dynasty - the Qianyuan Dynasty. After hundreds of years of rule, in the last years, the court was corrupt, the eunuchs were dictatorial, exorbitant taxes and heavy taxes were imposed, and the people were living in dire straits. Peasant uprisings broke out in various places, among which the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" was the most powerful. This uprising was like a spark that quickly started a prairie fire, making the already shaky Qianyuan Dynasty even more precarious.
In the process of suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, state pastors and county guards in various places took the opportunity to expand their power and support their own troops. The authority of the central government of the dynasty gradually lost, and the world fell into a chaotic situation of feudal princes. In order to compete for land, population and resources, various forces have been fighting for years, making the people miserable.
In the north, Yuan Shao of Jizhou was born into a famous family, a family of "Four Generations and Three Dukes". Relying on the prestige of his family and his own ability, he recruited talents and became huge. He occupied Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places. He had strong soldiers and horses, and intended to dominate the Central Plains.
Although Cao Cao of Yanzhou was born as a eunuch, he had great ambitions and was good at employing people. He used the slogan "Only talents to promote" and recruited a large number of civil servants and generals. He developed his power in the Yanzhou area, and through a series of campaigns, he gradually controlled large areas of the Central Plains. His strength should not be underestimated.
Jiangdong Sun Quan inherited the legacy of his father and brother Sun Jian and Sun Ce and occupied six counties and eighty-one prefectures in Jiangdong. The terrain in Jiangdong is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are many talented people. Corporal Sun Quan was good at employing people, which made the Jiangdong area relatively stable and became a force that cannot be ignored.
