Plot summary[]
From Anime News Network
China, 184 A.D. The Han dynasty was about to collapse. Corruption was rife and rebellions broke out throughout the kingdom. Liu Bei, an ordinary straw mat weaver of Hebei, found that he is a descendant of the former emperor. Aided by his two oath brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he sets out his journey to pacify the kingdom. This anime, a relatively faithful rendition of the Chinese classics, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms," retells the story from Yellow Turban Rebellion up to the aftermath of the Battle of Chi Bi.
