In 263, white funeral banners fluttered above Chengdu as Liu Shan surrendered to Wei.
Only Liu Chen, his armor stained with blood, led eight hundred warriors ready to die as they fought their way out of the encirclement.
Amid the towering mountains of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, Liu Chen joined up with Jiang Wei's remaining troops. As Jiang Wei lay dying, he entrusted Liu Chen with everything he had learned in his life. Thus Liu Chen waged a guerrilla war across Qin, Shu, and Long for more than a decade.
In 280, Wu fell and the Jin dynasty unified the realm. Liu Chen concealed himself among the mountains and rivers of Bashu, biding his time and building his strength.
When the War of the Eight Princes tore Jin apart, the call for the Han army's ninety-ninth northern expedition finally rang out. Jingzhou was reclaimed, Chang'an restored, and Jiangdong submitted...
On the day Luoyang fell, Liu Chen pointed his sword at the ancestral temple of the Sima clan. “The Ji Han will never fall, and the Han dynasty will endure forever!”
The seedlings are quite a sight to behold.
