The Story so far......We are going to have chapter progression in this game, so this is what has happened so far. The story has followed history up to the time of Dong Zhuo. This basically means we're open to, so everyone can get going!!
In the turmoil created by Dong Zhuo the land finally plunges into chaos. With Dong Zhuo removed by the coalition against him, Li Jue and Guo Si are left in control of his forces in the north west. However internal fighting and squabbling left themselves vulnerable. The one to take advantage of this was Ma Teng, who after a very short war took all the lands around Chang An, and following this momentum he obtains Han Zhong and Zhang Lu submits.
Cao Cao, now firmly in power in central China, does not want to break his non aggression pact with Ma Teng – preferring to see Li Jue and Guo Si beaten. Instead he moves north and goes to war with Yuao Shao. Shao at the time was just growing and had little power or influence to compare to the Hero of Chaos, and is taken like a storm, and the other regional lords in the north quickly surrender.
Sun Jian, having cemeted his power in the south using his superior navy to take over all of Wu. In a rash decision he charges north trying to stop Cao Cao before he becomes to powerful. Cao Cao who is still fighting in the north can offer little defense and Sun Jian takes Cao Cao new acquisitions of Xiao Pei and Qiao, with Xu Chang quickly in his sights.
Liu Bei meanwhile has fled south, fighting alongside Liu Biao he has taken southern Chu, providing a back bone for the forces he'd soon inherit. However Liu Biao dies from a assassination plot that was thought to be planned by the Sun family. With Liu Biao’s only son kills himself for fear of controlling most of Chu and some of Yi. Liu Bei mourns the late leader and his son with his people – and is soon announced as their leader. At this Liu Zhang rules to the west, but as a weak ruler his people cry out for new leadership, and after some convincing from his generals Liu Bei agrees to take up arms against Liu Zhang.
Ma Teng who is already at war with Liu Zhang learns of Liu Bei’s decision to attack, and quickly makes friends with him as they descend on Cheng Du from two sides. By this time however Cao Cao is becoming concerned with Liu Bei and sends Ba Zeng to ask Ma Teng to side with him. Ma Teng warms to Ba Zeng, but is Split between the two leaders, Ma Teng finally takes a step back and stays out of the conflict.
Cao Cao impressed with Ba Zeng managing to take Ma Teng out of the picture promotes him to an important part of his generals. At this time he sends Guo Jia to meet Sun Jian, and having fought him to a standstill word Sun Jian is forced to withdraw his army and word of an alliance is spreading around the two kingdoms. Cao Cao leaving the handling of Wu entirely in Guo Jia’s hands sets out against Liu Bei and After a month of siege he lays the defenses of Xiang Yang waste and takes his section of Chu from Bei.
Liu Bei busy finishing off Liu Zhang and without the support of Ma Teng, is forced to also abandon Jiang Xia, at this time however internal matters manage to distract Cao Cao and his court needs seeing to. Still eager for conquest Sun Jian takes the opportunity and steals Jiang Xia from Liu Bei.
