The Han Spear of Hedong

Everyone knows that Dong Zhuo commands the realm, but few know he has an illegitimate son, cast aside in Hedong.

Without the protection of the Xiliang cavalry or the backing of his father's connections, he starts at the bottom.

He travels the muddy banks of the Fen River, pacifies starving refugees and bandits, reclaims wasteland and stores grain, visits ferry crossings and fortified villages, gathers local swordsmen, builds strongholds, and trains troops.

When Dong Zhuo holds all the power in the realm yet finds himself cornered, he has no idea that his illegitimate son has been sharpening his claws in Hedong.
