In the final years of the Eastern Han, the warlords rise up against Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao is leading his army along the road when a fourteen-year-old refugee boy blocks his way and begs for food.
Cao Cao assumes the boy is just a starving madman. Then he sees him wield a spear weighing two hundred jin and knock the mighty Cao Hong flat in just three exchanges!
A hundred zhang away, the boy hurls his spear and pierces a flying goose!
Cao Cao exclaims with delight, “With Zi Qian at my side, I have found my Fan Kuai, just as Emperor Gaozu did. How could I fail to bring peace to the realm?”
From that day on, Cao Cao's camp has an unparalleled monster of a warrior, even fiercer than Lu Bu.
At the training grounds in Suanzao, the brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei first make their mark, hoping to build their reputations by stepping over the warlords.
Zhang Yu sits astride his horse, spear in hand. “Want to make a name for yourselves? Ask the spear in my hand whether it'll allow it!”
Zhang Fei roars again and again, only for his snake spear to be smashed in two by a single blow. Guan Yu's blade moves like a dragon, but one strike from Zhang Yu leaves his hand numb and shatters his grip!
All the assembled warlords fall silent, while Cao Cao laughs aloud from the generals' platform.
Looking at the tearful Liu Bei, Zhang Yu sneers, “With skills like that, you dare call yourselves heroes?”
That day, Zhang Yu's name shakes the realm. Lu Bu admits he is no match, and Dong Zhuo trembles in fear in Luoyang!
