The Three Kingdoms - Yellow Turban Rebellion - Extra History - #1

This series is brought to you by Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, a brand new strategy game set during this time period.
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu--these were the men who would define the Three Kingdoms period. Even though the actual history of this period is often conflated with the events of the historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was still a lot of compelling drama and intrigue we can explore--let's delve in to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which really did happen!
