Three Kingdoms: Refusing to Cede Jizhou

After a grueling life as an overworked laborer, Han Zhao's sole wish upon transmigrating is a future of effortless luxury—fine food, fine wine, and a life of utter indulgence. But his plans are shattered the moment he opens his eyes: his new father, the governor of Jizhou, is determined to hand over the province to a rival warlord without a fight. Han Zhao refuses to let anyone stand between him and his long-awaited good life. When his stubborn father insists on surrendering the provincial seal, Han Zhao declares the governor too ill to govern and seizes control of Jizhou's affairs himself. If Yuan Shao reaches for his territory, he will cut off his hand—then turn around and sack his stronghold. If Gongsun Zan tries a cheap opportunistic strike, Han Zhao will ensure his greatest historical defeat arrives years ahead of time. As his power grows, even the era's most celebrated figures take notice. Liu Bei laments that he rose from nothing and wandered half his life without ever provoking Han Zhao—so why is he poaching all his finest subordinates? Cao Cao sneers that Liu Bei should save his breath, because his own walls are already crumbling from the same relentless raids. Watch as Han Zhao, starting from his iron grip on Jizhou, hunts the great stag of the Han empire alongside—and squarely over—every hero under heaven.
