Zhang Jue, together with his siblings Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, has declared the beginning of the Yellow Turban rebellion, wreaking havoc on cities and villages across China. Liu Bei, a young man who can't stand seeing innocent people being harmed by the war, has sworn brotherhood with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and is now planning to build up an army to help the government quell the rebellion. The three men have requested assistance from wealthy individuals in town, and you have decided to aid them knowing their great potential and heroic personalities.
