Liu Biao and his team in history are dramatic activists! When the Kwantung coalition army supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, Jingzhou was surging, and Wang Rui, Zhang Zhi, Sun Jian and others joined the crusade against Dong Zhuo's army.

In the face of the chaotic Jingzhou, Liu Biao asked Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue frankly
