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

Summary

Bu Du Gen attends Jiang Wei's summons, feeling uneasy about the purpose. Jiang Wei, dismissive of Bu Du Gen's courtesy, gives him a military formation diagram for the battle against the Xiongnu, emphasizing the protection of General Ma Chao's main camp. Bu Du Gen, secretly allied with Liu Bao, sees this as an opportunity to defeat Ma Chao. Meanwhile, Ma Chao's leadership has gained the respect of the Xianbei people, who prefer him over Radix Bupleuri. As the Xiongnu prepare to attack, Radix Bupleuri intentionally exposes a flaw in their formation, allowing Liu Bao's forces to infiltrate. However, this is a trap set by Jiang Wei and Ma Chao, leading to the Xiongnu's ambush and heavy losses. Liu Bao, realizing he has been deceived, vows revenge against Radix Bupleuri. After suffering a significant defeat, he orders a retreat and sends letters cursing Radix Bupleuri, which Jiang Wei forces him to read aloud, further humiliating him. Radix Bupleuri, feeling guilty, resolves to continue supporting the Han Dynasty despite the backlash.
