Historical Information
Zhang Mancheng was a man from Nanyang in Jing Province. Presumably of lesser wealth, he joined the religious leader Zhang Jiao in the 170's. He was made a gang leader and put under the command of an unknown division leader in Nanyang. The Nanyang division was intended to cooperate with the divisions in Yingchuan, Runan and Luoyang, but after the betrayal of Tang Zhou and the subsequent execution of Ma Yuanyi, their power was lessened.

Nonetheless, Zhang Mancheng attacked Wancheng in Nanyang in April 184 with 10,000 men, after calling himself "Messenger of the Gods". After a short siege, Zhang Mancheng managed to kill the governor of Wancheng, Chu Gong, and conquered the city. In June, Qin Xie was made Administrator of Nanyang and attacked Zhang Mancheng at Wan. Zhang Mancheng was killed in battle and Zhao Hong became the new leader of his troops.
