Five Generals of Wei

The Five Generals of Wei are five generals of Wei who had many military exploits and were known as heroes to their kingdom. They include:


 * Zhang Liao - recognized leader who is also skilled in politics
 * Yue Jin - headstrong and honorable warrior
 * Yu Jin - dominant and regal; after he surrendered to Guan Yu, his reputation was harshly criticized.
 * Zhang He - versatile and cunning
 * Xu Huang - skilled in strategy and fair

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, these generals were featured as Wei's version (and possible inspiration) of the Five Tiger Generals. While the rank itself is disputed, the five generals were singularly featured in the historical record, the Book of Wei. Based on this source, other candidates for the same title would also include Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren.
