Wei

Wei (魏), also known as "Cao Wei", is one of the three influential kingdoms in the Dynasty Warriors, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Dynasty Tactics series. In Dynasty Warriors, the country is symbolized by the color blue and a Chinese phoenix.

The Kingdom of Wei was created by Cao Cao. He was given the title Duke of Wei in 213 AD. His power continued to grow until, in 216 AD, Cao Cao was crowned King of Wei. In 220 AD Cao Cao passed away and left his holding to his son Cao Pi, who, in turn, diposed of the young Han Emperor and created the Wei Dynasty. Over the years the Sima family slowly gained more and more control of the Wei Dynasty. Eventually, Sima Yan, the grandson of Sima Yi, took over and created the Jin Dynasty in 265 AD.

Five Generals of Wei
The Five Generals of Wei (五将軍) are five generals 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. The Record of Three Kingdoms also recognizes these five generals.
