In the first year of Xiping, the powerful eunuch Wang Fu falsely accused Liu Kui, the Prince of Bohai and younger brother of Emperor Huan, of plotting a rebellion. Liu Kui took his own life in prison, and over a hundred members of his household died there unjustly. The Kingdom of Bohai was abolished, but his young son, Liu Qing, escaped the same fate due to illness.
In the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.
With ten thousand shi of grain as his foundation, Liu Qing recruited local volunteers, raised an army, and traveled from province to province. He pacified the Xianbei, wiped out the Xiongnu, and guarded the northern frontier.
As the Central Plains descended into chaos, Liu Qing led his iron cavalry south...
Liu Bei: Liu Qing is peerlessly brave and righteous. He should be a role model for us all!
Cao Cao: Without Liu Qing, who knows how many people would have proclaimed themselves kings or emperors!
Sun Ce: Liu Qing's courage surpasses mine. Zhongmou must not make an enemy of him!
Liu Qing: I've spent my whole life fighting. Can't I enjoy myself for once?
