Borrow Five Hundred Years of Han from Heaven

In middle age, worn out from working every day just to make ends meet, he rereads Romance of the Three Kingdoms and laments the unfinished ambitions of Shu Han’s ruler and his ministers. So he takes up his pen and dreams of rewriting the ending of the Three Kingdoms. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian’an, after a great victory in Hanzhong, Liu Bei is made King of Hanzhong. Fa Zheng devises a strategy, Wei Yan proposes the surprise attack through the Ziwu Valley, and Huang Quan pacifies the south. Guan Yu launches his northern campaign against Xiangfan, floods the seven armies, and shakes all of China. Then comes the Eastern Wu betrayal, followed by Meng Da’s rebellion. One crisis after another unfolds. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang deploy their generals to stabilize the rear, then lead their forces in a sweeping campaign through Yong and Liang, reclaiming Luoyang and contending for the Central Plains. Liu Bei becomes emperor and divides his forces in two: Jiang Wei, Fa Zheng, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan march north to crush Wei, while Liu Bei personally leads Zhuge Liang and the armies of Guan and Zhang east to conquer Wu. May the Han dynasty be granted five hundred more years, and may the age-old dream of restoring the Han house come true!
