Five Wei Generals

Five Wei Generals

The Five Wei Generals were those considered by Luo Guanzhong, author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", to be the finest military generals in the service of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms era of China. They were Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yue Jin, Zhang He and Yu Jin. The creation of the Five Wei Generals title is fictitious as opposed to the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han which may have a factual background. The Five Wei Generals were more than likely created by Luo Guanzhong, to match the Five Tiger Generals in his classic novel. Eastern Wu, however, was the only kingdom of the three who lacked a top five general title, whether it be fact or fiction.
