- IV. Introduction to the game
-
- 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.
-
- Not content with his sucesses in the North, CAO CAO wanted to reign over
- the whole China by eliminating the rest of the warlords in the South. His
- first target was LIU BEI who, being a royal prince of the Eastern-Han Dynasty,
- has a legitimate claim to the throne. Though small in force, LIU BEI was well
- enternched in the country of JING, and he knew how to preserve himself by
- allying with a neighboruing warlord SUN QUAN. Together they engineered a
- serious below to the ambition of CAO CAO when they defeated his great army in
- the Campaign of CHIBI. Having suffered a great loss, CAO CAO had no
- alternative buttoretreat to the north. Taking advantages of his military
- success, LIU BEI went further to occupy the region of SICHUAN so as to
- consolidate his position in the country of JING. With the help of his five
- intrepid generals-GUAN YU, ZHANG FEI, ZHAO YUN, MA CAO and HUANG ZHONG, he
- managed to build up an army strong enough to wrestle alone with CAO CAO. With
- the aim of restoring the Eastern-Han Dynasty, he now sets off to the North to
- confront CAO CAO. But CAO CAO is by no means a chicken. He also has many
- experienced generals like DIAN WEI, XU XU and XIAHOU CHUN holding out in
- various fortresses. Will LIU BEI over come all these obstacles on his way to
- the North? Will he finally defeat CAO CAO to restore the Eastern-Han Dynasty?
