Three Thirds of the World: 108 Generals of Shu Han

In the autumn of the 24th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei ascended the throne as King of Hanzhong. A meteorite fell from the sky in Chengdu, which cracked the ancient black iron scroll and wrote "Tiangang and Earth evil, assist Han Zhongxing". Kongming watched the stars at night and sighed: "This is a sign that Marquis Wu will mend the sky and the five tigers will prolong their lives." Then, headed by the Five Tiger Generals, they gathered together one hundred and eight generals from Shu, which coincided with the number of stars in Liangshan. Guan Yu held the green dragon and Yan Yue to lead the Thirty-Sixth Heavenly Gang, Zhang Fei led Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry to suppress the Seventy-Two Disha, Zhao Yun defeated Cao Wei's Bagua Formation with seven advances and seven exits, Ma Chao Xiliang's cavalry defeated Yongliang, Huang Zhong penetrated the Yangliang in a hundred steps and shot Xia Houyuan at Dingjun Mountain. Jiang Wei was taught the "Liannu Heavenly Book" by Jiutian Xuannu, and improved Zhuge Liannu into the "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Formation", which can fire a thousand arrows. Wei Yan presented Ziwu Valley's strange plan, and Wang Ping led his unworthy flying army to climb the cliff and attack Chang'an. Fa Zheng set up an ambush on all sides to trap Sima Yi in Weinan, and Pang Tong took advantage of the east wind to burn Xudu's granaries. In three years, the Shu army defeated Longyou, Guanzhong and Luoyang. Zhuge Liang's six outings from Qishan were changed to "Seven Star Links", and star altars were erected to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for each city. In the final decisive battle in Yecheng, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao combined their spears to kill Cao Pi under the Tongque Tower. Liu Chan surrendered holding the jade seal in person. At this point, the Shu Han Dynasty established the empire, and all 108 generals were granted the title of marquis and worshiped as the prime minister. A golden body was built in the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, where they will enjoy incense forever. Later generations commented: "If it weren't for the help of Tiangang, how could Yanhan recover?"
