Unrest spreads through the Central Plains..

"Master Cai, what are your reports?"

Two men stand in a poorly lit room, deep within a temple. A few torches cast shadows on the floor.

"Well, Great Teacher. We are spread out along the Han borders. Your followers are prepared to rise at any time."

"Wonderful.....now we only must wait for the Han to play its hand...."

(Mean while Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were searching for volienteers for an army)

Liu Bei: "We have many numbers, I can not believe so many have come to help eradicate these rebels."

Guan Yu: "Do you think 5000 will be enough?"

Liu Bei: "Yes I do, and with the help of you and Zhang Fei we shall surely succeed."

Guan Yu: "Yes I have trained hard for this."

(Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei head towards Gongsun Zan)

"My Teacher, our followers are now within the Han capital. Their seed should spread quickly among the people there."

"Good, very good. The Han's reaction will be the only story now. Tell our brothers to be careful. Things could get very dangerous."

"Yes, my Teacher. Also, Bao and Liang are prepared towards the south."

"Good, very good."

(Liu Bei reaches Gongsun Zan)

Liu Bei: "Gongsun!"

Gongsun Zan: "Liu Bei what are you doing here?"

Liu Bei: "I have come to destroy the rebels, Zhang Jue and his brothers."

Gongsun Zan: "Hahahahaha with what?"

Liu Bei: "With 5000 voulenteers!"

Gongsun Zan: "You brought 5000 voulenteers....verywell you must join my support unit.

Liu Bei: "Great!, these two men are my brothers Fei and Yu."

Gongsun Zan: "(Looks at them in shock) They are giants!!"

Liu Bei: "Yes they excel as fighters and are great to have around."

Gongsun Zan: "Well I have Zhao Yun! Zhao Yun...(He Call him fourth) Zhao Yun this is Liu Bei a fellow student with me."

Zhao Yun: "Hello Liu Bei I am Zhao Yun od Changsha."

Liu Bei: "Hello Yun."
(Liu Bei noticed something about Zhao Yun that he could not explain)

"Brother, me must get ready to erdicate the rebels," declared Zhou Yu.

"Do not worry I am already preapered. Taishi Ci, ready the men we leave for the capital tomorrow!"

As both men hurried from the room Sun Ce smiled to himself, everything was going according to plan.....

"My lord! Our brothers have been discovered in the capital! They are to be executed!"

".......Then it is time! Inform the followers! Give them the signal to rise!"

"It will be done, my lord!"

One man scurries off, while the other moves toward a small desk and leans on it with his hands.

"It has begun......a shining new day arises.......the people will no longer be ruled by one man.......they will live to rule themselves! Haha! Now is the time!"

He grabs a short staff off of the desk.

"It is the time! My brothers, we shall have victory!"

He raises the staff above his head. His bearded face shines in the light with almost a angelic light. He grabs a sword and sheath and ties it around his waist, and sets off out of the cave.

Word reaches Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei that the turbans are cuasing havoc

Gongsan Zan
"Let us move now, we can not wait any longer"

Liu Bei
"What are your palns?"

Gongsan Zan
"We shall attack their eastern border, I shall lead the Cavalry unit while you lead your followers to cut of the enemies retreat."

Liu Bei
"Would'nt it be wise to spread up my force with Fei and Yu as the leading general?"

Gongsan Zan
"yes, you cut of their retreat and Zhang Fei can be in my reserve. Guan Yu can lead a suprise attack on the right flank."

Liu Bei
"but are you sure they will head this way so quikly?"

Gongsan Zan
"Yes because this land is quite weak and easy to conquer, if they take it they will gain many followers and a vital position."

They move out awaiting the enemies arrival.
