At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rulers were not good, and people were very poor because they didn't have enough food. Zhang Jiao and his brothers raised a big army called the Yellow Turban Army because they wore the yellow cloth on their heads. The army became very big, and the emperor was afraid. He told his men to protect$^{①}$ the country.

Liu Yan, an important man in Youzhou, was worried$^{②}$ because he didn't have enough men to help him. He put up a notice to find more men. In Zhuoxian County, a poor man named Liu Bei saw the notice and felt sad. A strong man named Zhang Fei, who sold drinks and food, saw Liu Bei and said, "A good man should help his country, not be sad!" Liu Bei told Zhang Fei about his life, and Zhang Fei said he would use his money to help.

They went to a small place to talk, where they met Guan Yu, a tall and strong man who also wanted to help. The three became friends and decided to work together. They went to Zhang Fei's home, promised to be brothers, and said they would fight for$^{③}$ the country. Liu Bei was the oldest, Guan Yu was second, and Zhang Fei was the youngest.

They found over 500 men and joined Liu Yan's army. After many fights, Liu Bei became a small leader$^{④}$. But a bad man told something awful about Liu Bei, so he had to leave. Zhang Fei was very angry and hit$^{⑤}$ the bad man. Knowing they couldn't stay, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left to join Liu Hui in Daizhou to keep helping people and doing what was right.
