Cao Cao (c. 155 – 220), courtesy name Mengde, was a warlord and the penultimate Chancellor of the Eastern Han dynasty who rose to great power in the final years of the dynasty. As one of the central figures of the Three Kingdoms period, he laid the foundations for what was to become the state of Cao Wei and ultimately the Jin dynasty, and was posthumously honoured as "Emperor Wu of Wei". He is often portrayed as a cruel and merciless tyrant in subsequent literature; however, he has also been praised as a brilliant ruler and military genius who treated his subordinates like his family.

During the fall of the Eastern Han dynasty, Cao Cao was able to secure the most populated and prosperous cities of the central plains and northern China. Cao Cao had much success as the Han chancellor, but his handling of the Han Emperor Xian was heavily criticised and resulted in a continued and then escalated civil war. Opposition directly gathered around warlords Liu Bei and Sun Quan, whom Cao Cao was unable to quell.

Cao Cao was also skilled in poetry, calligraphy and martial arts and wrote many war journals.

项羽（公元前232年－前202年），名籍，字羽，秦朝末年西楚军事家、政治家。

楚国名将项燕之孙，七岁后随叔父项梁迁吴中，秦末民变期间在会稽郡（今江苏苏州）起兵反秦，被楚后怀王封为鲁公。前207年钜鹿之战中，项羽统率楚军五万大破秦军四十万，决定秦朝覆亡之势，秦朝最后一位君主子婴自降为“秦王”，不再称“皇帝”。项羽起兵三年，即率领山东六国诸侯灭秦，分封天下，政由羽出，自封“西楚霸王”，统治黄河及长江下游的梁楚九郡，年仅二十五岁。

前206年，汉王刘邦从汉中出兵进攻项羽，展开了历时四年的楚汉战争，期间项羽虽然屡屡大破刘邦，但项羽因分封矛盾引起各路诸侯纷纷反叛，且始终无法有固定的后方补给，粮草殆尽，又未能重用范增、韩信、陈平，最后反被刘邦所灭。前202年，项羽在垓下之战为刘邦指挥诸侯六十万联军所败，突围至乌江后，自刎而死。

项羽被誉为中国历史最为勇猛的将领，史学家称“羽之神勇，千古无二”，“霸王”一词，专指项羽。

Zhang Fei fought in various battles on Liu Bei's side, including the Red Cliffs campaign (208–209), takeover of Yi Province (212–214), and Hanzhong Campaign (217–218). He was assassinated by his subordinates in 221 after serving for only a few months in the state of Shu Han, which was founded by Liu Bei earlier that year.

Zhang Fei is one of the major characters in the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which dramatises and romanticises the events before and during the Three Kingdoms period.
