Netflix has "King's War" (2012, 80 episodes) on the Chu-Han Contention, this series follows Sima Qian almost textually

My all time fav: Three Kingdoms (2010) with Jiang Hu English subs

I just noticed you posted on this subject before and recommended Three Kingdoms 2010 too :) I think the older series (?2008) may follow the novel more closely, but I much prefer the acting in the 2010 series.

走向共和 sounds right up my street, currently watching 少年包青天 (2000), next in the queue!
