At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, political corruption was chaotic, and there was a situation of peasant uprising and scuffle between local forces. In the melee, Cao Cao "clearly set rewards and punishments, set surprises one by one, and fought day and night", recruited wise men, and his power developed fastest, establishing a base area in Yanzhou.
/kloc-in the winter of 0/92, Cao Cao defeated the Gongsun Zan army from the north and Yuan Shujun from the south the following year. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/93, Cao Cao led an army to conquer Xuzhou Tao Qian, which had helped Gongsun Zan capture Cao Jun, and even captured ten cities, killing hundreds of thousands of men and women. 1April, 1994, Cao Cao made a second crusade against Tao Qian. At that time, Liu Bei was in Tao Jun and sent messengers to make peace with Cao Cao.
Just then, Cao Jun stayed behind, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong colluded with Lu Bu to rebel. Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou and occupied Puyang. Cao Wen heard of the civil strife, withdrew his troops to the north, defeated the rebels, killed many rebels and re-established his position. /kloc-August, 1994, Cao Cao led an army to attack Puyang, and Chen Bing was in the desert. Lyu3 bu4 sent troops to fight, Cao Jun, withdrawing troops three miles.
Cao conspired with others, took advantage of Lu Bu's victory, took advantage of Lu Bu's unprepared attack on Puyang Cisse at night, and was repeatedly besieged and cut off from the back road. Fortunately, Jin Lu and Dian Wei struggled to break through. Lyu3 bu4 conspired with Chen Gong (from the East County) to let Shi Tian, a giant family in Puyang City, take false surrender as the internal force and lead Cao Rucheng. Cao Cao succeeded in his plan and led his troops into the city. Before I got to the county government, I heard guns, drums and drums, and flames were blazing in all directions, shouting for murder.
Cao Cao knew the trick, went straight to the north gate, was stopped, and was blocked at the south gate. After turning to the north gate, Lu Bu jumped up and killed him. Ji pointed to cao kui and said, "Where is Cao Cao?" Cao pointed to the front and said, "They are all riding." Lu bu chased the horse. Cao Cao turned his horse's head and looked at the east gate. At that time, a fire broke out in the East Gate Tower. Fortunately, Dian Wei came to the rescue and rushed out of the east gate in the thick smoke. Cao Cao's left arm was burned.
When Cao Cao was defeated and returned to the camp, he countered that Cao Cao had been burned to death, and the whole army mourned and ambushed around the barracks to lead Lu Bu to battle. Sure enough, Lu Bu led an army to kill him, and he was surrounded by the Fujuntuan, which led to many losses. Lu Bu fought to the death and fled back to Puyang City. That autumn, locusts suddenly attacked and ate up all the food. The East County fought for 50 meters, and the people killed each other, so the two armies temporarily stopped fighting.
/kloc-in the spring of 0/95, Cao Cao rallied, regained the lost land in Yanzhou, laid the pottery first, and then Ke Juye killed Li Feng and Lan Xue of Lu Bu, and then attacked Puyang. When Lyu3 bu4 went out to fight, Cao Jun, Chu Xu, Dian Wei, Xiahou Jie, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian and Lejin all fought with Lyu3 bu4. If Lyu3 bu4 could not support it, he released his horse and returned to the city. Chengzhong Tian hated Lu Bu's violence, surrendered to Cao Cao and closed the door.
Lu bu was not allowed to return to the city, so he had to lead the down archers to the southeast and rush to Xuzhou to meet Liu Bei. At this time, Yanzhou, the east county, was completely owned by Cao You, and the court officially appointed Cao Cao as Yanzhou shepherd.

On the vast historical stage, a magnificent war scene was staged. Luo Guanzhong, the author, combines the thirty-six strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War between the lines, including both the plot and the strategy of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Second, the content brief introduction
The whole story started from the historical background of the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the early Western Jin Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor was groggy and incompetent, the eunuch was autocratic, the court was corrupt, and the people were in poverty, and then a large-scale peasant uprising, the Yellow Scarf Uprising, broke out. In troubled times, a generation of heroes emerged in the competition.
At that time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led their ministers into the palace in the name of "Ten Regular Servants Rebellion", and Emperor Liu Bian and Wang Liuxie fled in a hurry. In the process of various governors scrambling to find Liu Bian and Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo, a former garrison soldier in Liangzhou, immediately grasped the power of the DPRK, abolished the Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, and made Liu Chen Xie the Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo, who was cruel by nature, did the opposite, causing many people's anger.
In the name of imperial edict, Cao Cao summoned a group of heroes to jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo and forced him to carry Emperor Han Xian to Chang 'an. Dong Zhuo was later killed by his adopted son Lu Bu. Since then, Yuan Shao wanted to pass on the imperial seal in the hands of Sun Jian, the Changsha magistrate. Sun Jian was attacked by Liu Biao in Jingzhou on the way to escape, and made numerous enemies. Sun Jian was killed when he later attacked Jingzhou. At the same time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought at the Hebei border, and the battle of the boundary bridge broke out.
Cao Cao recruited talented people, and Liu Bei continued to expand his strength. At this time, the prototype of the Central Plains began to take shape. After Dong Zhuo's death, Cao Cao "held the emperor to make the princes", welcomed Emperor Xian of Han to build his capital in Xuchang, and used tactics to get rid of Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others. In the subsequent battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao with fewer victories and then unified the north, which laid a solid foundation for the establishment of Wei State.
In Jiangdong, Sun Jian's son, Sun Ce, finally dominated eighty-one states in six counties in Jiangdong after years of hard work. After Sun Ce's death, his brother Sun Quan succeeded to the throne. With the support of Zhou Yu and others, Sun Quan accumulated great strength for the establishment of the State of Wu. Liu Beize became close friends with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Taoyuan, and jointly set up the banner of aiding Han. Liu Bei was defeated by Liu Biao in Runan and defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Then Liu Bei visited the cottage and asked Zhuge Liang, who was resourceful and ambitious, to help. After Cao Cao unified the north, he began to go to South dispatch troops, aiming at Jingzhou and Jiangdu. At this point, Liu Biao died, and his eldest son Liu Qi kept Jiangxia. Liu Cong, the second son, took over Jingzhou and surrendered to Cao Cao, so Jingzhou fell into Cao Cao's hands. Facing Cao Cao's southern expedition, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to Jiangdong to form an alliance with Sun Quan.
Zhuge Liang argued with wisdom in Jiangdong, and eventually led Sun and Liu to join hands, and through a series of step-by-step and planned actions in Battle of Red Cliffs, he was defeated and wrote a glorious page in the history of ancient war in China. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei and Sun Quan turned to fight for Jingzhou. Sun Quan sent Lu Su to ask Liu Bei for Jingzhou, and Liu Bei refused many times at Zhuge Liang's suggestion.
Zhou Yu tried to trick Liu Bei into going to Dongwu to marry Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang, then detained Liu Bei and threatened Zhuge Liang to exchange Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu's strategy was repeatedly seen through by Zhuge Liang, which led him to "lose his wife and lose his soldiers." Zhou Yu eventually vomited blood in Zhuge Liang's sarcasm and died, leaving behind "You are born with Yu, why are you born with Liang!" A deep sigh.
After Zhou Yu's death, Wu Jun was busy fighting with Cao Jun, and Liu Bei defeated Liu Zhang under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, seized surprisingly, and took Hanzhong from Cao Cao, claiming to be the king of Hanzhong. At this point, the general trend of the world has reached, and the situation of the three countries has formed. Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Bashu, with the title of Shu Han; Cao Cao dominated the Central Plains, and later his son Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and changed his country name to Wei. Sun Quan is here in Jiangdong.
After reconciliation with Cao Wei, Sun Quan was named Hou of Nanchang. General Monroe of Wu Dong crossed the river in white and captured Jingzhou. Guan Yu, who was attacking Fancheng at this time, had to retreat to Maicheng and was captured in the process of breaking through. Guan Yu would rather die than surrender and was beheaded by Sun Quan. Zhang Fei was also killed by his subordinates Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, and Liu Bei was very sad.
Sun Quan then worshipped Lu Xun as the viceroy and defeated the Shu army. When Liu Bei led the defeated army to Bai Di City, he fell ill and asked Zhuge Liang for help before he died. At this time, Xelloss took the opportunity to unite with Na Man, Qiang, and Meng Da to attack Shu. Zhuge Liang sent Ma Chao and Zhao Yun to guard the pass, and Li Yan and Deng Zhi to persuade Meng Da and Wu Dong. Zhuge Liang personally led the army to capture seven levels and put down Meng Huo's rebellion.
After xelloss's death, his son Cao Rui acceded to the throne. Zhuge Liang left Qishan six times, determined to fulfill Liu Bei's last wish of restoring the Han Dynasty. In the meantime, Zhuge Liang recovered Jiang Wei and taught him what he had learned all his life. Zhuge Liang eventually died from overwork in Wuzhangyuan. Jiang Wei inherited Zhuge Liang's legacy and continued to fight Wei, but he was harmed by a confused traitor and fled to Langzhong. Wei took advantage of the civil strife in Shu and sent troops to attack, but the Lord of Shu surrendered without fighting and perished.
Jiang Wei was seriously injured under the siege of Si Mazhao and drew his sword to commit suicide. After Wu Dong's death, civil strife broke out in Sun Quan. Sun Liang, the ruler of the State of Wu, was deposed by Sun Lin, who monopolized all power, and Sun Xiu became the emperor. Sun Xiu joined hands with veteran Ding Feng to get rid of Sun Lin and regain power, but Soochow has also shown a trend towards river of no return. After Cao Rui's death, Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, and Sima Yi took over the relieving from Cao Shuang.
After Cao Fang was abolished, the Sima brothers made Cao Mao emperor, and Si Mazhao, the son of Sima Yi, monopolized the power. The son of Si Mazhao usurped the throne and changed his title to Jin, and Wei died. Wu was finally destroyed by the Western Jin Dynasty. "The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, divided for a long time", the Hundred Years' War finally came to an end here, and the Western Jin Dynasty opened another unified situation in the history of China.
