Destiny of an Emperor II Han Zhong Generals

7. Han Zhong Generals

The Han Zhong area is basically after you beat Lu Bu and until you beat Zhang Lu. After this, it is onward towards Shu!

Cheng Yi - 3900 soldiers

Str. 110 - Int. 90 - Agi. 85 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: You will find him at Nanzheng citadel. He, however, provides the weakest support for his side, so worry about him last.

Cheng Yin - 4500 soldiers

Str. 145 - Int. 100 - Agi. 100 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Analysis: He'll be at Yangping Citadel with three other generals. I would venture to say he is the worst general of the group so deal with him last. Those Cheng's, they are not too good.

Fa Zheng - 9470 (low)

Str. 110 - Int. 205 - Agi. 75

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Rank - 19 / 34

Analysis: Well, you get him before you go to the Shu/Han Zhong area. A decent general who specializes in tactics, he is not really worth your time unless you missed somebody or something. Don't get me wrong he's better than Yi Ji and the recently re-acquired Chen Deng, but that doesn't get him off the billetting.

Hou Cheng - 4200 soldiers

Str. 185 - Int. 120 - Agi. 115 - A.P. 78 - A.C. 120

TP - 120

Weapon - Arrow

Land: Pln

Da Re, Hong Shui, Yin Xian, Yi Wen, Bei Shui, Xian Jing

Analysis: Well, he is a decent general. but his attack is lower than the other two fighters they have. I'd say they are all about equally difficult so take out Zhang Lu first and then use tactics like Luo Shi on Hou Cheng to cripple him. He is unrelated to the Hou Cheng later in the game at Bei Yuan Citadel.

Li Zhan - 4000 soldiers

Str. 130 - Int. 110 - Agi. 90 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

TP - 120

Weapon - Arrow

Land: N/A

Da Re, Tou Shi, Yin Xian, Yi Wen, Ji Mian, Li Fan

Analysis: He is at Nan Zheng also, but again is not much other than another balanced general. Take out Yang Bai instead and deal with him later. You'll meet this man once more, with Jia Xu much later in the game.

Liao Hua - 9906 (highest)

Str. 170 - Int. 100 - Agi. 85 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 85

Weapon - Axe

Land: Mtn

Rank - 29 / 34

Analysis: Well, you have to fight him within the forest initially. He is by himself and is easy, and then he has the audacity to allow himself (you cant say no) to join your army. Well, he can't force you to put him in your party. You have a general like him. His name is Zhou Cang. Enough said. Oh, but he ends up tied for the highest in soldiers. What a feat, still wasn't used by me at all.

Ma Chao - 9863 (high)

Str. 240 - Int. 140 - Agi. 175

Weapon - Spear

Land: Pln

Rank - 9 / 34

Analysis: He is a tough fight when you fight him, but once you defeat him and his cousin you will be thankful that he joins you. Chances are, you will use him for the rest of the game. The strength is beastly, the agility is relatively high and the intelligence doesn't drag him down, along with high soldiers.

Ma Dai - 9878 (second-highest)

Str. 230 - Int. 170 - Agi. 135

Weapon - Spear

Land: Pln

Rank - 10 / 34

Analysis: Probably one of the more underrated generals. Or rather, a Shu general who probably shouldn't have stats as high as he does but you should take advantage of it. All you math majors can probably tell that he only trails Ma Chao in total points by 20, as the difference in agility is quite significant. However his tactical ability may make up for it and certainly his strength isn't that much lower than Chao's. That said when the time comes you may want to choose Chao over Dai as his soldier level is lower than Chao's, but you should be using Ma Dai well into the ending of the game and maybe will want to take him out for Jiang Wei. His soldiers aren't that high but at the end he catches up and ends with the second-highest.

Meng Da - 9468 (low)

Str. 180 - Int. 155 - Agi. 185

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Rank - 14 / 34

Analysis: A personal favorite, I generally use Meng Da for at least a while. He is useful throughout Han Zhong with his really high agility and overall versatility in other areas. I recommend using him as his agility is a great help although it is understandable if you go with a more proven general (such as Huang Zhong).

Pang De - 4100 soldiers

Str. 235 - Int. 110 - Agi. 125 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

TP - 100

Weapon - Spear

Land: Pln

Da Re, Hong Shui, Yin Xian, Yi Wen, Bei Shui, Xian Jin

Analysis: Pang De is a tough fighter, but not as intelligent as he was in the first DoaE. Also of note, you fight him twice and the second battle is one of the later Wei battles so he'll end up being an important general facing you. As for the battle here, at Nanzheng with Yang Bai, it is advised to take out Pang De first with either Li Jian or Luo Shi. In fact, Li Jian may be more useful for you as then Pang De's strength is equal to your best generals, so it's like having 6 of your members against their 4.

Pang Tong - soldiers vary (lower generally)

Str. 150 - Int. 245 - Agi. 125

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Rank - 8 / 34

Analysis: It is unfortunate you only have him for so long. Pang Tong is a beast that isn't slowed strength-wise unlike other tacticians. Always have him fight (I believe you are forced into a 5-person party when you get him anyway).

Yan Pu - 3800 soldiers

Str. 70 - Int. 155 - Agi. 95 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

TP - 160

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Da Re, Tou Shi, Yin Xian, Ji Mian, Li Fan, Xian Jing

Analysis: Yan Pu is the strategist of Zhang Lu's army but hardly one that should threaten you at this juncture in the game. Being their best tactician you will want to take him out after Zhang Lu, but he should not prove too difficult save for a Ji Mian or two.

Yang Ang - 3900 soldiers

Str. 155 - Int. 70 - Agi. 105 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Analysis: Yang Ang is at Yangping, right after getting the Ma's. He is a decent general and his cohorts have very similar statistics outside of the tactician Yang Ren. I'd throw a tactic his way to cripple him and focus on getting Yang Ren out of there.

Yang Bai - 4400 soldiers

Str. 150 - Int. 85 - Agi. 85 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: Yang Bai is at Nan Zheng, although he is not the most dangerous general here (that would be Pang De). He can take off a bit though so do Luo Shi or Li Jian him and that should neutralize him as you worry about more important generals.

Yang Ping - 4300 soldiers

Str. 165 - Int. 70 - Agi. 95 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Analysis: He is right on par with the other Yangping citadel generals, although he is probably the toughest warrior. That said Yang Ren can use tactics so you may want to kill him first, but Luo Shi Yang Ping to make sure he does little to no damage on your party.

Yang Ren - 3600 soldiers

Str. 140 - Int. 160 - Agi. 110 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

TP - 180

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Da Re, Yin Xian, Feng Jian, Yi Wen, Ji Mian, Fu Sha

Analysis: Well, he can use tactics. Not very well but still, that is more than can be said of his cohorts. So do take him out and he should not do much harm while you are doing so.

Zhang Heng - 4600 soldiers

Str. 180 - Int. 75 - Agi. 120 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

Weapon - Sword

Land: Pln

Analysis: A decent warrior at Han Zhong castle, he is nearly identical to his relative (brother maybe?) Zhang Wei. His agility boost is probably more dangerous than Zhang Wei's intelligence boost, so treat him as a more difficult opponent. Even then though, he should be priority number 3 (after Zhang Lu and Yan Pu).

Zhang Lu - 5100 soldiers

Str. 170 - Int. 190 - Agi. 175 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

TP - 220

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Da Re, Yin Xian, Yi Wen, Li Fan, Fu Sha, Xian Jing

Rank - 4 / 34

Analysis: Zhang Lu, the glitch DoaE2 never wanted. However, if you do manage to recruit him (at Xin Ye as the Zhang Song Shu hoopla is going on), you will be forever blessed. Whether or not your party is at a high level, Zhang Lu will have 5100 soldiers. That is enough to make his attacks more devastating than anyone, including Zhang Fei, at least for the immediate future. Even later in the game he is a valuable asset and should probably be in your party at the very end, or at least be one of the last characters you option out of your party. When you fight him at Han Zhong, he can be a difficult battle (especially if you didn't recruit him eearlier). However his balance can't match your generals, so take him out and keep his fighters at bay.

Zhang Wei - 4200 soldiers

Str. 180 - Int. 80 - Agi. 110 - A.P. 130 - A.C. 120

Weapon - Spear

Land: Mtn

Analysis: Zhang Wei is with Zhang Lu and is a decent fighter. As stated above, his stats are nearly identical to Zhang Heng, so use tactics on both of them to put them in a position to do nothing while you take out the more important members of Zhang Lu's army, such as himself and Yan Pu.
