[edit] The Beautilful Zhang He

Although the video game displays Zhang He's graceful attitude, I will still give him a shot. During the battle of Guan Du, Zhang He and his officer defect to Cao Cao's side due to Yuan Shao's lack of listening. With Zhang He now in the Wei army, he displays his talent against the Shu forces with his amazing fighting and his abilities that even Zhuge Liang saw as trouble for the northern campaign. The only thing that Zhang He will receive for credit is his relentless service for the Wei kingdom.--Zhang Liao 17:06, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I agree

Yes, but its kinda wierd,because I would like the game series if they actually took old photos, and made actually be better if wei yan could finish a sentence, or they couldnt shoot stuff...now thats classic Whopper 12:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments

  • Zhang He was recorded to be 64 years old at his death in 231. Accounting for the custom that at the time in China babies were considered 1 year old at the time of birth, that would make his year of birth 168, though it is commonly said to be 167.
  • His last name of Zhang and his birthplace in the Hejian region, combined with the fact that he entered the army as a teenager in a position of an officer, suggest he was educated: Since before his time of birth there was an allegedly famous "Zhang clan of Hejian" (geneology sources). There seems to be no source that specifically states that he was uneducated.

[edit] Typo?

Sima Yi then ordered Zhang He to give pursuit, despite Sima Yi's warnings of possible ambush

. . .? I think that this is supposed to be "despite Zhang He's warnings of possible ambush".
