Description[]

As the Han Empire crumbles, Zheng Jiang only laughs as she sees an institution she hates go down in flames. They know nothing of hunger or fear, their power was given to them rather than earned. Zheng Jiang seizes her own glory through her merciless fury and unrelenting strength.

Zheng Jiang is a law unto herself, a fierce warrior who wants nothing more than to see the Han dynasty fall – no matter what the cost. As Zheng Jiang you must stay on the offensive – sitting back and relaxing is not something you can do as part of her campaign. Zheng Jiang is for players who want the challenge of striking out against the status quo, tearing through the realm on a tide of infamy that must not stop until you succeed.

TW3K Zheng Jiang-GUANXI

Overview[]

Zheng Jiang is a formidable fighter on the battlefield, thanks in large part to her weapon: the Red Sisters, a pair of axes that grants her fatigue immunity. This is an extremely rare trait that allows her to fight at maximum effectiveness, no matter how long the battle goes. Zheng Jiang also has access to the normally sentinel-exclusive Tenacity of Steel, which increases her effectiveness in battle the longer she fights. Finally, Zheng Jiang has the Poisoned Dagger ranged attack, which causes 10k damage over time. These combine to make Zheng Jiang a deceptively dangerous duelist: she can challenge (or be challenged by) someone, throw a dagger to start degrading their health, and then fight them, growing stronger while they are growing weaker. She even retains the powerful dueling skill Binding Fury.

As a champion, Zheng Jiang is somewhat less effective at fighting groups of enemies, though she fares much better than generic champions due to the aforementioned traits.

Zheng Jiang is an excellent prime minister or heir due to her powerful faction-wide bonuses if placed in these positions: she grants +15% damage for all troops when attacking, and she massively increases income from tributaries (vassals). This makes her an incredible pickup for factions that make or creates lots of vassals, such as Liu Hong, Liu Biao, or Yuan Shu. She retains these bonuses as a faction leader, but she also suffers from having a poor background, making her gain less money from family estates than other characters.

Zheng Jiang is a terrible administrator. By default she grants nothing positive, and she increases corruption of a commandery she administers by 10% due to her Greedy trait.

Biography[]

The character appears in the records of the three Kingdom (segment of Zhou Xuan the Diviner). Liu Zhen, a lord of that period who had ceased some yellow turban activity shortly before, dreamed of a snake with four legs scurrying into a hole in a wall. When consulted, Zhou Xuan reveals that he must quell the uprising of some female bandits. Later, the female bandits Zheng, and Jiang, make an appearance and they were put down and executed as per the advice of the diviner.

Record differ as to whether a single person or two people carried the name. CA decided the strongest case can be made for two individuals with Lu Zheng as her close friend and second in command.
