Biography[]

Bao Xin was a typical career general of the time. He worked his way through the ranks of the imperial army under Emperor Ling, distinguishing himself during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Then, once Dong Zhuo took over the Han Dynasty as Emperor Xian's regent, Bao Xin joined the coalition against him. However, he did not actually lead from the front while in the coalition. Once the coalition fell apart, Bao Xin returned to his service as a commander of the Han Empire. Like many other officers loyal to the Han yet disloyal to Dong Zhuo, Xin simply refused to follow the regent's orders.

In 192, Bao Xin joined governer Liu Dai in rooting out a group of Yellow Turbans operating in his territory. However, Liu Dai rushed ahead and was killed in the ensuing fighting, leaving Bao Xin to pick up the pieces. Later that year, Xin was joined by Cao Cao, who was hunting down the same Yellow Turbans as the Han general. After some talks, Xin agreed to join Cao Cao's army, leaving behind the Han Empire. However, this alliance was short-lived, as Bao Xin died in combat with the same rebels that had killed Liu Dai earlier that year.
