You will not face any trouble from your western base so go ahead and garrison those two heroes in the town center and allow that side of the map to boom your economy big time. Focus on villager production and getting your food/wood count up.
The general in the top-center of the map I would leave by the military buildings until you have cleared a path from the military buildings to your eastern base. I put a castle on the route from the mountain pass where the supplies were coming down to purple's base to prevent the supplies from reaching thus rendering purple all but useless. When that castle goes in it makes your micromanaging much easier. Ensure that you send enough villagers to get that castle up quickly in case your timing is off or you get attacked by purple.
Cyan will be the main concern you will have as it will attack you with elite elephants, bombard cannons, and a slew of archers. I simply kept my horse hero by my town center to help out until I had created a castle on the southern portion of my base and had light cav to protect it from the cannons.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (PC) - Achievement - Not a Greek Tragedy
Win without losing any of your four heroes in the fifth Le Loi mission "A Three-Pronged Attack".
This achievement is fairly simple - It just takes a little care. Your forces start divided. Your have a farming village at the top left of the map, a military base near the top middle and your main town around the bottom middle with a hero in each one and two in the farming village. All you have to do is complete the mission without any of your heroes dying.
The farming village rarely, if ever gets attacked and only by a small force if it is. You can build minor defences to repel any risk of losing your two heroes there.
Your hero in the military base, you can leave there for the time being whilst you complete the secondary objective of destroying the towers and bring him to your main base when you can.
Your hero in your main base you can leave there as well. Just keep them all out of harms way. You can likely still use them to complete the mission if you like, but hiding them reduces the risk of losing them if you're after the achievement.

Not overly hard, just don't use your heroes to attack. You have three bases which are separated. For your western base you can build some economy here and don't really have to worry about being attacked. Garrison your two heroes here in your town centre. The greens have a base nearby, however they are neutral so will ignore you if you ignore them.
For the central base, move your hero back to your barracks and keep him here. You'll want to build a varied army at this base consisting of champions, halberdiers, archers and probably a few elephants too. Near where the start battle took place just have them patrol this small area as the blues will send trade carts through every five or so minutes that if you can kill it helps. They will be defended but you should be able to keep an army big enough to kill them.
Your southeastern base is where you'll want to build your main army and a majority of your economy. Once you have an army and some defences (walling off the gap between the river to the southwest can stop the light blues attacking) attack the purple fortress to the east first - it is rarely well defended especially if you killed the trade carts. There is also a purple fort in the centre of the map; whilst not necessary to destroy it it does have a large amount of gold.
After attacking the western base, you can choose to move your army north to take out the blue base and join your armies up. If you do this once the path is clear take your hero from the middle base and move him to the southeastern one. Garrison him there to protect him.
Finally, take your army to the southern base and break through. Keep along the southern edge of the map until you reach the monument.
