Zhang Bao



Zhang Bao is the eldest son of Zhang Fei, a general who served the warlord Liu Bei. He is one of the major protagonists in the later parts of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Bio
Zhang Bao is an audience with Liu Bei, to whom he reports on the murder of his father. At that time he meets Guan Yu's son Guan Xing for the first time, arguing with him for the lead of the vanguard. Liu Bei creates peace between the two and lets them swear brotherhood like her fathers once did. From now on, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao are inseparable.

Zhang Bao is involved in numerous military campaigns, including Liu Bei's disastrous campaign against Wu (Battle of Yiling) and Zhuge Liang's Northern Expeditions against the Wei Dynasty. In the third campaign, Zhang Bao ambushes in pursuit of Generals Sun Li and Guo Huai and falls in battle. When Zhuge Liang heard it, he collapses and spits blood, which is said to have sped up his death.
