Role in Games[]

Bao Xin is a general in Dynasty Warriors 7, leading Cao Cao's army in Dynasty Warriors 8. He appears in the game's Ambition Mode and is present in the Final Conflict at Hulao Gate. Bao Xin and Yu Jin are besieged by the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Dynasty Warriors 9.

Bao Xin is a decent general in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, whose stats range mostly in the 70's. His intelligence stat is in the low 80's, making him a possible strategist choice in the early game. He is best suited with pike units and, due to his skill, often assists allied units when leading his own unit. Bao Xin appears in the early scenarios as a general of He Jin and Cao Cao, while the Rise of Heroes scenario has him serve under Liu Dai.

Bao Xin, a Taishan commander from Yan Province, served as Chief Commandant of the Cavalry during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He was appointed Chancellor of Jibei and transferred to Yan Province. In 192, Yan Province faced attack from Yellow Turban rebels, but Bao Xin advised against attacking. Liu Dai, governor of Yan, ignored Bao Xin's advice and led his forces to Dongjun. Cao Cao took control of Yan Province, and Bao Xin became Inspector. His son Bao Xun served as a minister.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms[]

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, Bao Xin, the Commandant of the Rear Army, joins the fight against the Ten Eunuchs in 189.

He later joins forces with Cao Cao to destroy the Yellow Turban rebels in Shouzhang. Bao Xin is ambushed and slain, but Cao Cao builds a wooden statue of him and holds his funeral with it.
