At the twilight of the Eastern-Han Dynasty of ancient China, under the reign of the frail and incompetent emperor HAN-LING, the country was in disarray when the government was run by a group of corrupted eunuchs-theso-called "Ten Attendants". Hardship and famine finally threw the country into turmoil. The rebellion quickly spread over the country. The rebels were known as "Yellow Scarfs" because they covered their heads with yellow scarfs. To get the full support of the generals in the military regions, Emperor HAN-LING entrusted them with more military power to put down the uprising. The Yellow Scarfs were finally crushed but at the expense of the central government which saw its autority threatened by the generals turned warlords. One of these warlords, DONG ZHUO, on the pretext of dislodging the Ten Attendants, marched into the capital city LUOYANG and then usurped the throne. Although DONG ZHUO was quickly defeated by other allied generals, the turmoil was far from over. As the weakened Eastern-Han Dynasty no longer had authority over the whole country, every warlord was watching for the opportunity to take over the leadership. After ten years of suffering from numerous battles between warlords, the people in northern China finally had some respite when CAO CAO, a Machiavellian strategist, eliminated all his opponents in the North.
