In the first year of Chuping.
Hua Xiong was slain beneath Hulao Pass, and Dong Zhuo's army teetered on the brink of collapse.
Chen Feng, a Tiger Guard Commandant marked for cannon fodder, kicked over the military table on the spot and defied his orders.
"Are lords and generals born to their stations?"
That very night, Chen Feng led his men in a surprise raid on Luoyang's imperial palace and took the emperor south.
Dong Zhuo flew into a rage. "A mere commandant dares kidnap my emperor?"
Cao Cao slammed the table. "Such a brilliant plan, and that scoundrel Chen Feng beat me to it!"
While the Eighteen Warlords were still bickering in front of Hulao Pass, Chen Feng had already taken the Han emperor south to Wancheng.
Using imperial edicts to recruit talented people from across the land,
he got ahead of everyone else and snapped up Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and other renowned unoccupied officials.
Using Wancheng as his base, he developed northern Jingzhou and plotted to conquer the realm.
With memories from more than a thousand years in the future, Chen Feng turned the tide in this chaotic age.
