Three Heroes Fight Lü Bu

The empire is coming apart. A warlord called Dong Zhuo (Dǒng Zhuó) holds the capital, and holds the boy emperor with it — and the other lords of China have finally done the obvious thing and marched on him together.

One man stands in their way. Dong Zhuo's adopted son Lü Bu (Lǚ Bù) is said by everyone to be the finest fighter alive, and so far everyone has been right: challenger after challenger rides out to meet him, and does not ride back.

Somewhere at the back of that allied camp are three sworn brothers — Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei — with no rank, no title, and a few hundred men between them. The great lords have not troubled to learn their names. They are about to.
