Peach blossoms bloom, and crimson talismans flutter.
The sexagenary cycle turns, and the heavens tremble.
Spring, the first year of Zhongping. In Zhuo County, the peach blossoms are on the verge of blooming, while undercurrents swirl through the Way of Great Peace like a boiling cauldron.
After transmigrating into the Han Dynasty as Liu Bei, a bewitching man, he knows that in just one month, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will sweep across eight provinces and shake the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty to its foundations.
It is also the starting point for him, a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, to rise from an unknown commoner in Zhuo Commandery and embark on the path of Emperor Zhaolie.
In this life, he will not wait.
He draws his bow in the street and fires three arrows, killing a minor Yellow Turban commander, seizing his armor and crossbow, and exposing his treasonous plot.
He also persuades Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to invest their fortunes in him, selling them on the idea that he is a rare commodity worth holding onto.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion erupts, he already commands over a thousand volunteers and makes a name for himself in the fighting.
By the time the warlords unite to campaign against Dong Zhuo, he is already wearing a silver seal with a blue ribbon and taking part in the anti-Dong coalition.
This time, as he walks the path of Emperor Zhaolie once more, will he settle for ruling a small corner of the realm?
The smoke of battle in the Peach Garden, the flames of Julu, the court at Luoyang, his bonds of honor in Xu Province, his base in Jingxiang, the perils of Yizhou, the standoff at Hanzhong, the regrets of Yiling, and the regency entrusted to him at Baidi...
The places and painful memories that once haunted him for half his life, leaving his ambitions unfulfilled, will all be carefully navigated and rewritten, step by step, in this life.
“The people can carry a boat, but they can also capsize it. This time, I want the people’s hearts, and I want the realm as well.”
“The flag of Shu Han should not fly only in a corner of Shu.”
“I want everyone beneath heaven to know what true Flame Han Zhaolie means!”
Why
Now that Liu Bei has such a great advantage in the north, the author still puts Liu Bei in Changsha as his starting point. I don't know what the author was thinking. What, does Liu Bei have to be from Shu Han? At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was too difficult to unify the country from south to north. In history, besides Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, who else did it?
The start was too big for Liu Bei. The further you go, the harder it becomes to write. The harder it is to write brilliantly.
Good books
This is a Three Kingdoms novel that has both strength and potential; it has received an investment of 👍.
I've noticed that many Three Kingdoms novels blur the lines between public and private interests. People use their own money to support the country's soldiers. Even the emperor, a true saint, has a small household. When the protagonist is ennobled, he has to have a title and property. In addition to his salary, you have to give your subordinates an extra share every year. Once they take your money, they become your people, understand?
Author, please hang in there. Once I have about a hundred chapters, I'll recommend it to several large groups with thousands of members.
They actually deleted my comment! This is outrageous; I've never encountered this before in all this time.
In my subjective opinion, it looks good, and I like it.
Please read on
I'm eagerly awaiting your reading during the new book release period. The pacing feels pretty fast, with key content every day. I urge everyone to read it daily.
I feel that writing more in vernacular Chinese and less in classical Chinese might be more conducive to reading. While classical Chinese is understandable, it doesn't feel as simple, direct, or immersive as vernacular Chinese.
Classical Chinese texts might be suitable for someone majoring in Chinese literature who is proficient in classical Chinese.
Why bother with the warlord rivalry? Just make Liu Bei the new Wang Mang, and everyone will support him to become emperor!
