Romance of the Three Kingdoms Yu Jin

Yu Jin was a general who served Cao Cao from the very beginning of his military campaigns. In the Record of the Three Kingdoms, he is recognized as one of the Five Generals of Wei, earning distinction through numerous victories. Known for his majestic and resilient character, Yu Jin also gained a reputation as a strict disciplinarian, which often intimidated his allies.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yu Jin is portrayed as a capable but not exceptional general. He is an all-rounder with no particular specialization, though he performs slightly better with spears and cavalry units. Notably, he is one of the few Wei generals with experience in naval warfare, though he falls short compared to the naval expertise of Wu's commanders.

Yu Jin's loyalty is depicted as questionable, as reflected in his surrender at Fan Castle, making him prone to switching allegiances if captured. In scenarios set before his service under Cao Cao, he is portrayed as a subordinate of Liu Dai. Despite his shortcomings, Yu Jin remains a significant figure in the lore of the Three Kingdoms.
