Destiny of an Emperor II Jing Zhou Reunification Generals

6. Jing Zhou Reunification Generals

The Jing Zhou Reunification section is generally considered from when you get back doing the Wu Alliance things in Chaisang and ends once Lu Bu is destroyed after taking Jing Zhou from the four governors.

Bao Long - 2900 soldiers

Str. 125 - Int. 90 - Agi. 115 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 100

Weapon - Spear

Land: N/A

Analysis: A Gui Yang guard who doesn't really provide too much. His first battle with Chen Shu is pretty ridiculous, and the battle in the castle isn't much better.

Cao Ang - 2200 soldiers

Str. 175 - Int. 110 - Agi. 110 - A.P. 70 - A.C. 60

Weapon - Axe

Land: N/A

Yan Re, Luo Shi, Tong Xian, Yu Lin, Feng Jian, Li Jian

Analysis: Cao Ang is with Cao Ren at Nan Jun castle. He is a decent general and a good complement to his relative Cao Ren, but just the two of them should not be able to stop you. Take out the more dangerous Cao Ren first but beware as Cao Ang is not completely feeble.

Cao Hong - 2800 soldiers

Str. 150 - Int. 145 - Agi. 115 - A.P. 80 - A.C. 70

TP - 180

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Ye Huo, Chi Xin, Bai Ma, Heng Fang, Ce Jian, Yan Dun

Analysis: Cao Hong is at Yi Ling with Niu Jin, the first castle you reach. He is not too dangerous and probably should be second priority in favor of the stronger Niu Jin. Take the latter out and then all-out the versatile yet hopeless Cao Hong. If you didn't get the Tally Order, this battle will be hard as Cao and Niu will have VERY tough defense, unbeatable without spells. So use your best attack spells to wear them down if this is the case.

Cao Ren - 2600 soldiers

Str. 205 - Int. 155 - Agi. 100 - A.P. 70 - A.C. 60

TP - 180

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Yan Re, Shui Lei, Luo Shi, Tong Xian, Feng Jian, Li Jian

Analysis: Cao Ren is at Nan Jun with Cao Ang. Cao Ren is a formidable opponent as one look at his stats will show. Don't let this discourage you as you have many (probably all 5) able generals and the two of them simply should not be able to overwhelm you. Knowing this, concentrate on Cao Ren and once he is gone the rest should fall in place.

Chen Jiao - 4100 soldiers

Str. 50 - Int. 195 - Agi. 95 - A.P. 70 - A.C. 60

TP - 250

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Yan Re, Shui Lei, Tong Xian, Feng Jian, Li Jian, Xing Luan

Analysis: Chen Jiao is at Jing Zhou castle, the first battle you face as you head back from the alliance with Wu. He is alone and is an able tactician and nothing else, so all-out him and I doubt he'll do much to you. This is more important in the sense of you getting the Tally Order (see walkthrough) for the upcoming battle.

Chen Shu (Chen YING) - 3000 soldiers

Str. 150 - Int. 45 - Agi. 125 - A.P. 80 - A.C. 90

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: Initially, you fight him with Bao Long. Then, you fight him later in the castle with Bao Long again but Zhao Fan is with and Lu Bu is on your side. The first time you fight him when he is just with Bao Long, use spells as they are decent fighters but are inept at tactics. In the second battle, it won't matter what you do as Lu Bu will kill these three in three turns.

Guo Si - 3000 soldiers

Str. 135 - Int. 85 - Agi. 85 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 100

Weapon - Sword

Land: Pln

Analysis: Guo Si is one of the three random (and weak) generals that accompany Lu Bu in this chapter. You fight him at the battle at Han castle, where you win nearly automatically. Then in the final battle of the chapter, Lu Bu's death, you fight him the last time. He is tied for the best fighter outside of Lu Bu, so you may want to keep that in mind, although in all actuality he really is not an issue and should be saved for last along with Li Su.

Han Hao - 2900 soldiers

Str. 105 - Int. 95 - Agi. 60 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 100

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: Really, he has nothing worthwhile to tell you about, other than you fight a guy later in the game with the same name. Certainly he is the worst general although Han Xuan is riding his coattails for that distinction as well. Leave him alone and deal with the meat of the order, and once they're done then you can all out Han Hao.

Han Xuan - 3600 soldiers

Str. 85 - Int. 50 - Agi. 80 - A.P. 100 - A.C. 110

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: His goodness rivals that of Han Hao but his weapon and defense levels bail him out. However he is still nothing to worry about, as Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, even Yan Ling, are bigger priorities. Also of note is the fact that Huang Zhong does a ritual with Han Xuan's Youyuu bow in celebration of his passing, yet you can fight him in random battles. Scary.

Huang Zhong - 9385 (lowest)

Str. 220 - Int. 175 - Agi. 150

Weapon - Arrow

Land: Mtn

Rank - 11 / 34

Analysis: In the opposing battle, he can be tough. I would consider him the first priority over Wei Yan as he can use tactics and defeating Wei Yan is not too tricky as he can be had with tactics easily unlike Huang. Do be careful and you may want to beat them both up simultaneously and absorb your hits from the other three. Now, many a heated argument I have gotten into regarding Huang Zhong's performance in DoaE2. First of all, I dislike the bow. Second of all, I prefer Wei Yan (yes I know, Wei Yan is worse overall) as the strength bonus is noticeable. Also, you have Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang fighting so you can afford to have a more meat and potatoes guy like Wei Yan and not suffer for the lack of intelligence. But look, you can use him if you wish and you're probably not going to have too much of an issue with it if you do or if you don't.

Jin Xuan - 1800 soldiers

Str. 95 - Int. 105 - Agi. 55 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 100

TP - 80

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Yan Re, Shui Lei, Tong Xian, Feng Jian, Li Jian, Xing Luan

Analysis: Jin Xuan is the lone general at Wu Ling. He is worthless and only entertaining to view when being killed by the even more meager Gong Zhi. What a hoot! Get your laughs and move on folks.

Li Jue - 3100 soldiers

Str. 105 - Int. 100 - Agi. 70 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 100

TP - 100

Weapon - Sword

Land: Pln

Yan Re, Shui Lei, Luo Shi, Tong Xian, Feng Jian, Li Jian

Analysis: You fight this guy three times. The first time is at Han where he is easy, and the second time is at Gui Yang where Lu Bu initially turns on you. However it is just those two so worry not. But the last battle is the final Lu Bu battle and he can be a nuisance here. Take him out (along with Zhang Ji) to ensure these tacticians aren't messing with your fighters with Li Jian or healing Lu Bu with Tong Xian.

Li Su - 2800 soldiers

Str. 135 - Int. 60 - Agi. 100 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 100

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: Li Su is similar to Guo Si in his abilities but he is faster yet lacks in intelligence. Ignore him or throw a tactic his way to cripple him, he won't be an issue really. You fight him in the two main Lu Bu battles.

Liu Du - 3300 soldiers

Str. 130 - Int. 95 - Agi. 30 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 90

TP - 60

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Ye Huo, Tong Xian, Bai Ma, Heng Fang, Yu Lin, Yi Xin

Analysis: Liu Du is the leader of the Ling Ling brigade. Truly, they are not too tough and Xingdao should be taken care of before Liu Du. Then all out, Liu Du shouldn't harm you.

Liu Yan - 2300 soldiers

Str. 125 - Int 115 - Agi. 110 - A.P. 80 - A.C.

TP - 80

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Yan Re, Shui Lei, Luo Shi, Tong Xian, Feng Jian, Li Jian

Analysis: Liu Yan is with Xingdao at the gate and with Liu Du at Ling Ling. He provides tactical support, although not much of it. Consider the other two more dangerous and take them out accordingly in both battles. Also he appears at the Ling Ling gate a second time with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu - 3800 soldiers

Str. 255 - Int. 50 - Agi. 145 - A.P. 120 - A.C. 110

Weapon - Sword

Land: Pln

Analysis: The great Lu Bu. I think he was played up better in the first one. You had several tough battles with him (the Dong Zhuo campaign, the Yuan Shu/Shao campaigns) in the first DoaE yet you really only have 1 against him and he is supported by fools. The first fight at Han is of no issue as you are destined to win after the plot. The second battle is with two generals which automatically makes it a pushover. Finally, like I said before his supporting cast just does not add up and once you destroy him with tactics (preferably Li Jian!) the battle will nearly be over. Like a leaf in the wind indeed, Lu Bu.

Ma Liang - 9440 (low)

Str. 45 - Int. 235 - Agi. 90

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Rank - 18 / 34

Analysis: Well, you get him after you complete this section of the game. Now he can be a decent character, but I wouldn't use him for battle. Why not? Well, 45 strength is just too low. You have to draw the line somewhere and you can find generals with comparable intelligence with a much higher strength and agility level. Well, do what you wish and if you decide to use him as your tactician, he learns An Sha later.

Ma Su - 9863 (high)

Str. 170 - Int. 210 - Agi. 110

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Rank - 15 / 34

Analysis: Oh my, a solid overall general. Well, if you prefer an able tactician over a Wei Yan or Huang Zhong or even Zhang Fei, Ma Su can provide that with a balanced attack. Chances are though, your party is set on Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan. Ma Su probably shouldn't replace any of them and probably is a notch below Huang Zhong as well. Nice try, underrated definitely, just bad timing.

Niu Jin - 2600 soldiers

Str. 215 - Int. 80 - Agi. 105 - A.P. 80 - A.C. 70

Weapon - Spear

Land: Mtn

Analysis: His stats are very similar to those of his DoaE 1 days. His strength is decent and worth warranting him first priority over Cao Hong. Once he is slaughtered via tactics, you can all-out. Again if you missed the Tally Order this will be significantly more difficult and Niu Jin will rock you unless you attack him with the best tactics you have.

Wei Yan - 9396 (low)

Str. 240 - Int. 90 - Agi. 130

Weapon - Axe

Land: Mtn

Rank - 13 / 34

Analysis: Ah, Wei Yan. A personal favorite. Now, when you fight him beware as he can use tactics and his attack is devastating! He was tough in the first one but now with 240 strength instead of mid 220's, his hits are as rough as anyone not named Zhang Fei. Now his intelligence is down from the last one, so take advantage of this and harm him with Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang if possible. A couple of tough tactics and he'll be down for the count. Now as a member, he is very valuable. I always use him over Huang Zhong, despite the lower intelligence, despite the lower agility, despite the fact that he'll get Li Jian-ed like mad in the upcoming battles. Look, his attack is a lot better than Huang Zhong, more than the 20 point differential indicates. And at this juncture in the game, I'd rather have that extra attack. Again, be prepared to see him take tactics like Zhang Fei (well not that bad). But enjoy, his attack is brutal.

Xiahou Dun - 3600 soldiers

Str. 230 - Int. 155 - Agi. 115 - A.P. 80 - A.C. 70

TP - 200

Weapon - Spear

Land: Pln

Ye Huo, Tong Xian, Bai Ma, Heng Fan, Yu Lin, Yi Xin

Analysis: Xiahou is by himself at Xiang Yang, but can be very very tough if you don't have the Tally Order. You can still get by, but physical attacks will be nearly useless so you'll need to use Liu Mu or some other offensive tactic to displace him.

Xingdao Rong - 2600 soldiers

Str. 180 - Int. 35 - Agi. 115 - A.P. 80 - A.C. 80

Weapon - Axe

Land: Pln

Analysis: Well, Xingdao is a good fighter and one of the best you'll see around here. Now, his intelligence is also one of the lowest you'll see. You fight him three times as well, twice at the Ling Ling gate (with Lu Bu the second time) and once at Ling Ling castle. He is dangerous in each one but not when you use tactics.

Yan Ling - 2400 soldiers

Str. 175 - Int. 120 - Agi. 85 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 100

TP - 80

Weapon - Sword

Land: Sea

Yan Re, Luo Shi, Tong Xian, Yu Lin, Feng Jian, Li Jian

Analysis: Now Yan Ling is the key to this battle at Chang Sha. As you can see his attack is good and his other stats are well rounded as well. Certainly, he is more capable than the other two non-playable characters. Treat him as such and don't all-out until he's dead or near dead. Oh, and you'll see him again at the Ling Ling gate with Lu Bu, and deceptively tricky battle.

Yi Ji - 9470 (low)

Str. 40 - Int. 185 - Agi. 45

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Rank - 31 / 34

Analysis: Yi Ji is a nice guy. I like him a lot he helps you out. But in battle or as a tactician, he just is not good enough. Unless you are high never put him in battle, his attack is ridiculous and his tactical ability is as good as Guan Yu. Towards the end of the game I notice he is generally at the top of the billetting list. You only need him when you go to southern Jing Zhou, as he must be there to introduce you to the Ma brothers.

Zhang Ji - 3200 soldiers

Str. 65 - Int. 160 - Agi. 45 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 100

TP - 130

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Yan Re, Luo Shi, Tong Xian, Feng Jian, Jie Ce, Li Jian

Analysis: Another decent tactician with Lu Bu, along the same lines as Li Jue. However his tactical ability is marketably better so take him out after Lu Bu. However he still isn't that dangerous other than to possibly Li Jian a guy or two.

Zhao Fan - 3200 soldiers

Str. 130 - Int. 95 - Agi. 90 - A.P. 80 - A.C. 100

TP - 60

Weapon - Sword

Land: Pln

Ye Huo, Tong Xian, Bai Ma, Heng Fang, Yu Lin, Yi Xin

Analysis: What a quality general and guy. He tries to capture Zhuge Liang with trickery but all he gets is Lu Bu. Lu Bu then proceeds to ounce him and his two weak generals and that is the last you see of Zhao Fan.
