The Three Kingdoms: The Prodigal Son of Shu Han, starting with a fiery blaze at Wolong Ridge.

Summary

During the Western Han period, Zhu Ya and Dan Er counties were established on Zhu Ya Zhou, but Dan Er County was abolished due to rebellion. Xu Shu's strategy for conquering Zhu Ya Zhou involved winning the locals' hearts, particularly through the Heavenly Master Sect led by Zhang Lu, who used herbal remedies to gain trust. As the locals embraced their teachings, Xu Shu opened education initiatives, teaching farming and solidifying Zhu Ya Zhou as a Han military stronghold. Liu Mang praised Xu Shu's efforts, noting that they would be crucial if they were to conquer Dong Wu. He prepared for potential challenges in Yi Zhou, bringing medical personnel and priests from the Heavenly Master Sect for ideological support. Concerns about Eastern Wu's response to the Han army's movements were raised, particularly regarding Sun Quan's trustworthiness. As Liu Mang prepared to set sail for Yi Zhou with his troops, he emphasized the need for stealth and caution. On the journey, the crew encountered merchant ships from Eastern Wu, and Gan Ning expressed interest in piracy, but Liu Mang insisted on maintaining a low profile. The journey was marked by lighthearted moments, including discussions among the crew and humorous exchanges about food and companionship.
