While Sun Ce 孙策 was still alive, the officers of Wu Kingdom gathered around an old Daoist priest one day. Sun Ce was very averse to superstition and became...

Who are they:
The top 2 military generals under Yuan Shao 袁绍, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were good friends and were said to be equal in combat skills.

Wikipedia link: Lu Bu Wiki
Who is he:
Quite possibly the best fighter in all of China in that era, Lu Bu was a formidable general that struck fear in his opponents.

"Miracle Physician 神医 (shén yī)"
Wikipedia link: Hua Tuo Wiki
Who is he:
His name has become synonymous with "Miracle Doctor" as he cured many strange sicknesses. Studies by historians said his medical techniques were hundreds of years ahead of his time.
