Three Kingdoms: The Lingling Governor Under Guan Yu from the Start

A thousand years ago, Liu Bang secretly moved supplies along the Jialing River, crossed the Qinling Mountains, and ultimately made Bashu the base from which he claimed the empire. A century later, Shu Han controlled Yizhou and Hanzhong just as Liu Bang had, yet it was trapped behind natural barriers. A landslide triggered by an earthquake completely blocked the Jialing River supply route, turning the campaign north across the Qinling Mountains into a grueling march of blood and tears. Six campaigns against Qishan cost a cumulative 680,000 Shu soldiers, who marched through ice and snow, only to take the lives of a mere 50,000 Cao Wei soldiers. It took thirteen Shu soldiers to bring down a single Wei soldier. With the old route cut off and powerful enemies blocking the way, which path should this regime rooted in Bashu take to advance north, break free from the shackles of history, and complete the unification that had once eluded it?
