During the Three Kingdoms Period in Chinese History, Liu Bei, a very influential warlord flew to Jiang Xia’s army. [I didn't know they had airplanes in this period] His military rival, another powerful warlord called Cao Cao kept chasing him and his troop. In the chaos, Liu Bei lost contact with his wives and son. His brother Zhao Yun, a very brave, fearless and loyal general, risked his life to look for Liu Bei’s lost family in Cao Cao’s chasing army only by himself. He broke through the enemy’s surroundings and rescued Liu Bei’s wives, respecively Mi Lan, Jian Yong and Gan. Ms Mi Lan entrusted her son called A Dou to Zhao Yun, and then dropped into a well, committing suicide. Zhao Yun kept the little baby in his arms and grabbed Cao Cao’s sword, making all efforts to fight a way out. Later, Liu Bei’s another brother called Zhang Fei came as support. At Change Ban Slope, Zhang Fei shouted like thunder, astonishing Cao Cao’s army back.
