Destiny of an Emperor II Shu Area Generals

8. Shu Generals

Shu is considered the area after defeating Zhang Lu and culminates in the defeat of Liu Bei's relative, Liu Zhang.

Deng Xian - 4000 soldiers

Str. 75 - Int. 135 - Agi. 100 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 160

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Da Re, Hong Shui, Yin Xian, Bei Shui, Fu Sha, Xian Jing

Analysis: You fight Deng Xian on two separate occasions; at Jianning castle and before that, at the water gate. The battle at the water gate is easy as he is the best tactician in the battle and that's obviously not saying much. The Jianning battle might test you a little, if only for there being four generals and Lei Tong being one of them.

Dong He - 4700 soldiers

Str. 85 - Int. 160 - Agi. 65 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 170

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

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

Analysis: Dong He is at Ba castle and really shouldn't be an issue for you. Also you fight him after getting Jiang Wan at Yinping. Yan Yan is the primary general in the Ba castle battle so take him out and you can probably all-out from there with Huo Jun and Dong He being feeble and not that dangerous tactically anyway. The other battle pits you against four generals, most notably Wu Yi, but Wu Yi is probably the worst recruitable general in this area so I wouldn't worry too much.

Fei Guan - 5600 soldiers

Str. 115 - Int. 95 - Agi. 70 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Da Re, Hong Shui, Yin Xian, Bei Shui, Fu Sha, Xian Jing

Analysis: He shows up at the Ba citadel battle with Liu Ba. After the shenanigans, you're either dealing with an easy battle or one that is a little harder due to the fire. Fei Guan himself does not provide much resistance. Ignore this mediocre general for the others and all-out him eventually.

Fei Shi - 5700 soldiers

Str. 70 - Int. 130 - Agi. 90 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 140

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

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

Analysis: Fei Shi is with Fei Guan at Ba citadel and likewise provides no threat to you advancing. As you notice, there are several poor generals (most commonly really bad tacticians) in Shu so enjoy it while it lasts.

Gao Pei - 6100 soldiers

Str. 135 - Int. 90 - Agi. 90 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: Gao Pei is not a tough general and you fight him twice. The first time is at Fu Shui with Yang Huai, but that really isn't too hard and he is the least dangerous of the lot. Later, you fight him at Jiang Wan's house and he is alone, so all-out him and get some water while you're waiting for him to die.

Huang Quan - 6400 soldiers

Str. 65 - Int. 165 - Agi. 105 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 180

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Da Re, Hong Shui, Yin Xian, Bei Shui, Fu Sha, Xian Jing

Analysis: Huang Quan opposes you with Liu Zhang at Cheng Du. He is an average tactician but again, nothing that should scare you as most of your good FIGHTERS have an equal or close amount of intelligence. Anyway, Huang Quan certainly isn't a priority but he may annoy you with Ji Mian. Oh, he also surprises you with Zhang Ren at Fu Shui, but is blown away and sent back to Cheng Du.

Huo Jun - 6700 soldiers

Str. 115 - Int. 105 - Agi. 18 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: Well, I don't remember reading too much about him in the novel but he must have did something wrong to get such poor stats. His 18 agility makes him worthless, just a meager general who will act as not much more than a rebel force. He is at Ba castle by the way, and just all-out him.

Jiang Wan - 9470 (low)

Str. 140 - Int. 195 - Agi. 18

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Rank - 23 / 34

Analysis: I don't know why he joins your party. He is pointless other than to march into Yinping castle and get the jump on them (notice how a guard by the name of Zheng Xu (I think, someone weird) lets you in and is no where to be heard from after that, as Li Yan comes out). After that just please get him out of your party with that ugly agility.

Lei Tong - 5400 soldiers (average soldiers when he joins)

Str. 205 - Int. 95 - Agi. 95 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

Weapon - Spear

Land: Pln

Rank - 22 / 34

Analysis: So he is a pretty tough general at Jianning, but nothing that you haven't handled before. His strength is good but his other two statistics aren't, so cripple him before he can even go and then the battle is essentially over with the weak supporting cast (recurring theme in the Shu area; one good general and 3 goombas). When he joins inside I wouldn't use him as he certainly isn't that "good". However try going through Shu with all the recruited generals, it is more of a challenge and vindicating for the traitors as well.

Li Yan - 5800 soldiers

Str. 190 - Int. 125 - Agi. 130 - A.P. 90 - A.C. 140

TP - 100

Weapon - Crossbow

Land: Pln

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

Analysis: Li Yan is at Yinping and is a decent general, but his high strength level is weakened by his unusually low attack power level. So don't be deceived by his strength count, but he should be the second or third guy you go after.

Ling Bao (LENG BAO) - 4700 soldiers

Str. 150 - Int. 115 - Agi. 125 - A.P. 140 - A.C. 130

TP - 120

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

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

Analysis: Leng Bao is the weakling leading the water gate barrage. His strength is okay but again, nothing you haven't seen before. You may even be able to all-out this battle from the start, but if not throw a tactic his way and he'll be toast.

Liu Ba - 5400 soldiers

Str. 145 - Int. 190 - Agi. 130 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 200

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Da Re, Yin Xian, Yi Wen, Ji Mian, Li Fan, Fu Sha

Analysis: Liu Ba is one of the main generals of the Shu area and you fight him several times, most notably at Ba citadel and Cheng Du. He is a solid tactician that can handle himself physically and speed-wise. Regard him as a threat, possibly the top general in the Cheng Du battle.

Liu Kui - 5600 soldiers

Str. 115 - Int. 100 - Agi. 110 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Analysis: Liu Kui has a unique avatar I just realized. I will make note of this in my archives and will factor this into the next avatar tournament. Now, in battle Liu Kui is not unique but rather is a very standard poor general in the Shu area. You fight him on a few occasions, most notably at Cheng Du, and he shouldn't be regarded as an issue in any of the fights.

Liu Xun - 5900 soldiers

Str. 140 - Int. 105 - Agi. 100 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 140

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Da Re, Hong Shui, Yin Xian, Bei Shui, Fu Sha, Xian Jing

Analysis: Liu Xun is another popular general in the Shu area and you will fight him often, and again climaxing at the Cheng Du battle. He is a solid general and little else, but sadly his overall stats make him one of the better non-recruitable generals in the area. And that really is sad.

Liu Zhang - 6500 soldiers

Str. 115 - Int. 160 - Agi. 80 - A.P. 160 - A.C. 160

TP - 160

Weapon - Sword

Land: Pln

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

Analysis: The worst "boss" general in the game. Sure, his A.P. and A.C. are high for the area, but 115 strength is just too pathetic. His intelligence can be a nuisance but again, we've gone over that 160 intelligence is about equal to Ma Dai and your other fighters. Add up the fact that the generals he has with him aren't anything to worry about (besides Liu Ba), and you have the easiest chapter-ending battle in the game.

Lu Kai - 4800 soldiers

Str. 25 - Int. 185 - Agi. 65 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 200

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

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

Analysis: Lu Kai appears a few times around the Jianning area, once at the supply area east of Jian Ning and later at Jian Ning castle. Obviously, he has nothing physically, but his intelligence is one of the highest in the area, making him an underrated general.

Wang Kang - 4900 soldiers

Str. 105 - Int. 95 - Agi. 95 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

Weapon - Sword

Land: Pln

Analysis: You fight Wang Kang in the same battles as Lu Kai, in both the Jianning castle battle and the provision-capturing battle before heading to Jianning. Wang Kang isn't really good at any one thing so I wouldn't consider him a priority especially with an able tactician (Lu Kai) and a playable character (Lei Tong) in his army.

Wang Lei - 5800 soldiers

Str. 45 - Int. 170 - Agi. 90 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 180

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

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

Analysis: Well, Wang Lei is at Cheng Du protecting his lord Liu Zhang, and he also jumps you at Fu Shui before that. He is a decent tactician and the best of the lot, which isn't necessarily saying much. They are all in the mid-100's so it's nothing you should worry about, just watch the Ji Mian and Yin Xian and you should be ok.

Wu Lan - 9518 soldiers (low/medium)

Str. 195 - Int. 105 - Agi. 110 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

Weapon - Spear

Land: Mtn

Rank - 21 / 34

Analysis: He joins after the Fu Shui battle, which isn't too hard. Consequently, he is the best general at that castle, so use tactics on him and he should go down easily. You probably have better generals in billetting, so you know what to do with him.

Wu Yi - 9878 (second-highest)

Str. 175 - Int. 140 - Agi. 75 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 120

Weapon - Spear

Land: Mtn

Da Re, Hong Shui, Tou Shi, Yin Xian, Yi Wen, Ji Mian

Rank - 24 / 34

Analysis: Wu Yi resides in Yinping and is the toughest out of them all so take him out first. He is nothing more than an annoyance with his tactics and again, you surely have much better generals in your billetting so when he joins there shouldn't be a reason to use him unless you are experimenting, or unless you covet his soldier count (although he doesn't get the second slot until MUCH later in the game.

Yan Yan - 9385 (very low)

Str. 200 - Int. 160 - Agi. 135

TP - 160 (level 50)

Weapon - Spear

Land: Mtn

Rank - 17 / 34

Analysis: Yan Yan is at Ba castle and he is a much better general than the previous three listed. Unfortunately he is still worse than Huang Zhong or Ma Dai and surely some other borderline generals, but he gives you a much better option if you're willing and/or somehow low on characters. Luckily, at Ba castle his surrounding generals provide nothing so focus solely on Yan ^ 2. By the way, Yan Yan and Huang Zhong have the two lowest (tied) soldier counts of the active generals at level 99. Is it because they're old, or something?

Yang Huai - 5200 soldiers

Str. 175 - Int. 105 - Agi. 115 - A.P. 140 - A.C. 130

TP - 100

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

Da Re, Hong Shui, Tou Shi, Yin Xian, Yi Wen, Ji Mian

Analysis: Yang Huai is the first Shu member to reveal their treachery towards Liu Bei. It is a strange sequence indeed and the motive still makes little sense to me but alas it is the NES so it is forgiven. Now Yang Huai is very much like Wu Lan but a tad weaker, so use higher level tactics on the two of them and victory and Fu Shui will be yours shortly.

Zhang Ren - 6200 soldiers

Str. 205 - Int. 155 - Agi. 150 - A.P. 155 - A.C. 160

TP - 160

Weapon - Sword

Land: Mtn

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

Analysis: Zhang Ren is surely the most honorable general of the Shu area, as he constantly hounds you and never gives in like the other good Shu generals. He is the one who surprises Pang Tong and kills him. Later, you fight him at Mian Zhu Guan, Longyou castle, and then in a solo battle. He is a solid general with intelligence and agility to match your good fighters, but his attack just isn't in their 230-250 range. In the solo battle he fights whoever you have in the first spot. If it is Zhang Lu, watch and snicker as the lord of Han Zhong destroys Zhang Ren. If you are not using Zhang Lu, put in Ma Chao or Zhao Yun or someone of that nature and you should win.

Zhang Su - 5300 soldiers

Str. 60 - Int. 165 - Agi. 80 - A.P. 150 - A.C. 140

TP - 180

Weapon - Sword

Land: N/A

Da Re, Yin Xian, Yi Wen, Ji Mian, Li Fan, Fu Sha

Analysis: Zhang Su is at Yinping with Dong He and Wu Yi. He is similar to Dong He in his tactical ability so you may want to take him out just because of that. Either way no one in this battle is too dangerous so all out once Wu Yi is dead, I'd say.
