For the Character, see Ze Rong

Unique Features[]
Ze Rong isn't a playable faction and therefore doesn't have any unique units, buildings or features.
Starting Situation[]
Rise of the Warlords (190)[]
190, Ze Rong - Pink
Ze Rong begins the game at peace but stands surrounded by Tao Qian to the north and Liu Yao to the south. Due to its small size, it might be easy pickings for those two. However, the weakened Han Empire borders the east, and various smaller and equally weak warlords surround Ze Rong both to the west. Expansion could be possible.
Characters
A World Betrayed (194)[]
194, Ze Rong - Pink
Ze Rong has lost the capital of Guangling commandery, but keeps control over the two other counties within the commandery. This has moved his faction east somewhat, now touching the sea. However, with the loss of the capital, the faction is much weaker than before. Expansion is unlikely as Wu Jing is a vassal of Yuan Shu, so attempting to retake the commandery would be suicide. The only possible route for expansion is to cross the Yangtze River, expanding into the territory of Xue Li or Xu Zhao.
