Shu
The kingdom of Shu was led by a ruler name Liu Bei. He was a man of virtue, and his desire was to restore the former Han dynasty back to its glory. Of the three leaders, Liu Bei was the most compassionate and daring. Along with his two forsworn brothers Guan Yu and Zeng Fei, he attempted but failed to reunite China.
His story begins with the story of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when bandits tried to overrun the Han Dynasty. He and his brothers set out to protect the prince of Han. They succeeded in that battle but would ultimately fail to protect the prince. A dictator named Dong Zhuo would later manipulate his way to the top and forced the prince into abdication.
Liu Bei and his brothers set out to defeat Dong Zhuo, and they did so, but they failed to restore Han to its former glory. Rather, with the defeat of Dong Zhuo, China was ushered into the Three Kingdoms Era. Liu Bei, hopeless at the status quo, formed his own Kingdom to protect and restore Han. He would recruit talented warriors and generals to his side, but the most compelling of his forces was the strategist Kong Ming (to be cont.)
