Story:
In the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, declared himself emperor, and established the Xin Dynasty.
His brutal rule provoked large-scale peasant uprisings, such as those by the Green Woodsmen (Lülin) and Red Eyebrows (Chimei). Liu Xiu and his brother seized the opportunity to join the Green Woodsmen army.
They allied with Wang Chang, Cheng Dan, and Zhang Ang of the Xiajiang army. With the two armies merged, working together with one heart and enhanced morale, they annihilated Wang Mang's elite forces led by Zhen Fu and Liang Qiushi within days.
