I was forced into this. I didn’t truly mean to rebel. Huh? Why are you kneeling? You’re giving up your fine job as an official to join my rebellion? Gentlemen, go right ahead.

The Dawn of Lingao 临高启明

- 8 The Ambitious Hero of the Late Eastern Han 东汉末年枭雄志 The late Eastern Han dynasty in Romance of the Three Kingdoms was a tumultuous age of grand drama. There were valiant generals, brilliant strategists, cunning warlords, benevolent rulers, and alluring beauties. It was a world to dream of. But the late Eastern Han in Guo Peng’s eyes was cold. It was neither kind nor just, much less civilized. Danger lurked everywhere. He saw hunger, poverty, war, and plague. He saw bones strewn across the fields and not a cock crowing for a thousand miles. He saw 5Votes408.9kRecs519.5kFans
