Please, the first chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms! I want it in vernacular!

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was corrupted, coupled with successive years of famine, the people's lives were very difficult. Seeing that the people resented the government, Zhang Jiao from Julu, together with his brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, recruited 500,000 people in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Jiangsu and other places to stage an uprising and attack the officers and soldiers together.

In a few days, people from all over the world, wearing yellow scarves on their heads, followed Zhang Jiao and the three brothers to kill the government with great momentum. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty received reports from various places and quickly ordered the officers and soldiers in various places to prepare. He also sent Zhonglang generals Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun to lead elite troops to attack Zhang Jiao's brother's Yellow Turban Army in separate directions.

Zhang Jiao led the army to attack the border of Youzhou. The governor of Youzhou quickly summoned Zou Jing, the captain of the school, for discussion. Zou Jing said that Youzhou's soldiers were too small to resist. It is recommended to write articles and go to various counties to recruit soldiers.

The article went to Zhuoxian and led to a hero. His surname was Liu Mingbei and his courtesy name was Xuande. Because his family was poor, he made a living by selling hemp shoes and weaving straw mats. That day he went to the city to read the papers.

After reading the list, Liu Bei sighed with emotion. Suddenly he heard a man behind him shout loudly: "If a man doesn't contribute to the country, why are you sighing?"

Liu Bei looked back and saw that this man was eight feet tall, with a leopard head, round eyes, and a beard like a steel wire. Standing upright, the sound is like a loud bell and the appearance is very majestic. The man told Liu Bei that his surname was Zhang Mingfei and his given name was Yide. He was engaged in the business of selling wine and butchering pigs and sheep. He is willing to use his family property as capital to do a great undertaking with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei had a good conversation, so they went to a hotel at the entrance of the village to drink and talk. At this time, a cart of big men came into the store to drink. Liu Bei took a closer look and found that this man was nine feet tall, with a long beard on his chest, a complexion like a red date, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and two silkworm eyebrows. He looked very majestic. Liu Bei stood up quickly, invited him to come and sit with him, and asked his name.

The man said: "My surname is Guan Mingyu, and my courtesy name is Yunchang. Because the bullies in the village bullied others, I killed the bullies in anger and fled to other places for five or six years." Liu Bei and Zhang Fei listened. They all admired him and told Guan Yu about his wishes. Guan Yu was also very happy after hearing this.

After drinking, they came to Zhang Fei's manor together and saw a peach orchard behind the manor. The peach blossoms in the garden were brilliant and the scenery was beautiful. The next day, the three people burned incense in the garden and worshiped, swearing to become brothers with different surnames. The three recognized their brothers according to their age. Liu Bei became the eldest brother, Guan Yu was the second, and Zhang Fei was the youngest and became the younger brother.

The three invited a blacksmith to make weapons. Liu Bei made a double sword, Guan Yu made an eighty-two-pound Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Zhang Fei made an eight-point steel spear, and each of them made a suit of armor. They gathered more than 500 strong men from the countryside and went to Zhuojun to apply for the army.

The three defeated the Yellow Turban general Cheng Yuanzhi in Zhuojun. Liu Bei heard that his former teacher Zhonglang General Lu Zhi was fighting Zhangjiao in Guangzong, so he led his troops to Guangzong to assist in the battle. Lu Zhi ordered the three brothers Liu Bei to go to Yingchuan to help the army fight. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led their troops to Yingchuan overnight.

Besides, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao had won several battles in Yingchuan. On this day, they were chasing the army and were suddenly blocked by a team with a red flag. The first general's surname was Cao Cao, and his given name was Mengde. Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were unable to defeat this team and led the army in defeat.

When Liu Bei saw the Yellow Turban Army retreating, he led his army back to Guangzong. On the way, I suddenly saw a group of military horses escorting a prison car. When he stepped forward, he saw that the prisoner in the car was actually Lu Zhi. He hurriedly dismounted and asked why. Only then did he realize that Zuo Feng was causing trouble in front of the emperor because Lu Zhi did not give him gold or silver. When Zhang Fei heard this, he was furious and drew his sword to kill the officers and soldiers escorting the prison car to rescue Lu Zhi. Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him and said that the court would have its own judgment.

The three of them went back to Zhuoxian together. As they were entering, they saw the Yellow Turban Army defeating the army led by Dong Zhuo. The three men rushed into the formation and rescued Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, when Dong Zhuo heard that the three of them had no official positions, he immediately left the three of them outside, dismounted and went into the tent. Zhang Fei suddenly became furious and drew his sword into the tent to kill Dong Zhuo, but Liu Bei persuaded him to stop him. The three men then led their troops and went to Zhu Jun overnight.

Zhu Jun was fighting the Yellow Turban Army at that time, so he ordered Liu Bei to be the vanguard to attack Zhang Bao. Liu Bei shot Zhang Bao's left arm with an arrow. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rode to help and defeated Zhang Bao. Zhu Jun then led the army to attack Wancheng.

At this time, Zhang Jiao's brothers were killed in battle, leaving only tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops stationed in the Wancheng area. With the help of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Sun Jian from Wujun, Zhu Jun captured Wancheng and defeated the Yellow Turban Army. Zhu Jun returned to the capital and was awarded the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry and Henan Yin.

Zhu Jun reported the merits of Sun Jian and Liu Bei.

Because there was no one in the court to intercede, Liu Bei was granted the title of County Lieutenant of Anxi County, Zhongshan Prefecture. Soon, the governor came to Anxi. Liu Bei was framed by Du You because he did not send money to him. Liu Bei went to the post office several times to ask for an audience, but he was stopped by the gatekeeper and turned away.

The news reached Zhang Fei’s ears. Zhang Fei was so angry that his eyes widened. He rushed into the post and grabbed the governor’s hair, pulled him to the county government office, tied him to a horse post, and used wicker sticks to force him. He was beaten, breaking more than a dozen wicker sticks in succession, and the governor screamed for mercy like a pig.

Liu Bei was insulted by the governor, so he took out the official seal of the county lieutenant, hung it around the governor's neck, and abandoned his post. The three brothers still left Anxi County with dozens of personal followers and went to Youzhou to join Liu Hui.
