The Tale of Lu Bu and Diao Chan

Prologue

The year is 192 AD; Lu Bu has been forced to flee the capital, Chang'an, after assassinating the traitor Dong Zhou. Lu Bu had not been forced to flee because of killing Zhou, but after the rebellion of Zhou's generals, who captured Emperor Xian and slew his lover's father Wang Yun. His lover was Diao Chan, a beautiful and talented dancer. She had been part of her father's successful plot to turn Lu Bu against his adoptive father, Dong Zhou, like he had killed his previous adoptive father, but Diao fell in love with Lu Bu. This is where our story begins, it is a story of betrayal, love and warring states during the end of the Later Han Dynasty and into the Three Kingdoms period and will carry on after the battle of Xia Pi, with the assumption that Bu was not killed there.
