The Legend of the Three Kingdoms

In the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, natural and man-made disasters continued. The imperial court imposed excessive taxes and treated the people like cattle and horses. The people of Li were in dire straits. Finally, a massive Mahayana uprising broke out. The Liang State in the south took the opportunity to launch the Northern Expedition, but it was trapped in a cocoon by building weirs and missed the opportunity at the critical moment. The Northern Wei Dynasty took the opportunity to put down the Mahayana uprising. The Huaiyan weir built by the Liang people and their money finally collapsed. Not only was there no land gained, but it caused floods thousands of miles downstream. More than 100,000 households were killed in the floods, and countless fertile fields and houses were destroyed. Emperor Wu of Liang was forced to suspend his troops to support the people. The Liang State's strike gave the Wei State a chance to breathe, but the Wei State, which had been suffering from hardships, did not regain its vitality. Gao Zhao, Yu Zhong, and Yuan Cha took power one after another, and each coup was accompanied by bloodshed. After Empress Dowager Hu killed Yuan Cha, she spent extravagantly and committed adultery, causing harm to the country, causing mother and son to turn against each other. As a result, Emperor Xiaoming of Wei was poisoned, which triggered Er Zhurong to send troops to Beijing, leading to the Heyin Incident. Since then, all the heroes have joined together, and battles and killings have continued, and wars have broken out all over the Central Plains. Liang Guo mobilized troops to the north many times, but in vain. In the melee of heroes, three heroes emerged, namely Yu Wentai, Gao Huan, and Chen Tanxian, who made contributions in troubled times. In 534 AD, Emperor Xiaowu of Wei entered the Pass, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into two, forming the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty. When the two Wei Dynasties changed their surnames, the Southern Liang changed its owners, and the three kingdoms of Zhou, Qi and Chen were formally formed. The three kingdoms fought for decades, and eventually Zhou destroyed Qi, Sui replaced Zhou, and Sui destroyed Chen.
