Ying Shao is a non-playable Han faction in Total War: Three Kingdoms. It starts the campaign in southern China, located in Yulin commandery. The faction appears in 182 and 190. Gaining a rank as a duke, king or emperor will rename the faction to Yulin.

Ying Shao isn't a playable faction and doesn't have any unique units, buildings or features.
Starting Situation[]
Mandate of Heaven (182)[]
182 - Ying Shao (purple)
Ying Shao starts the Mandate of Heaven campaign in an entirely different position than his 190 campaign, namely in Lean commandery. He starts at peace but will get dragged into the Mandate War by Liu Hong. At some point, Huang Shao will rise up in Dong commandery, west of Lean, and may pose a threat to Ying Shao.
Characters
Rise of the Warlords (190)[]
190 - Ying Shao (olive), Shi Xie (red)
Ying Shao has full control over Yulin commandery, but starts the game at war with the much more powerful governor Shi Xie. Realistically, his only way to expand is to cross the Yu River into largely undefended Han territory and expand there, building up their strength away from Xie.
