Yong Kai (onyomi: Yō Gai) was the governor of Jian Ning. He led some southern tribes which included Meng Huo, and they revolted against Shu.
Role in Games[]
Yong Kai makes his debut in Dynasty Warriors 3, fighting the Shu (or Wu) forces at Nan Zhong.
In Dynasty Warriors 5, after beating back the state of Wu, Yong Kai and other Nanman officers lead a revolt in Meng Huo and Zhurong's story, where Yong Kai is subsequently slain for his insubordination. In other stories, he survives till the main battle against Shu. Strangely, this battle apparently happened before the formation of Shu according to the Free Mode menus. This is also the only game other than Dynasty Warriors 9 as the default Hero type, rather than the Nanman Officer type, making it more historically accurate.
Dynasty Warriors 9 has him erroneously appear as a roaming Shu officer on the map after they have seized Chengdu from Liu Zhang for the following few chapters. His story relevance places Yong Kai as a member of Cao Pi's coalition for his upcoming attack on Shu from five fronts. In Shu's story, he must be defeated to further estrange the Nanman and Wei forces. In Wei's story, Yong Kai will be busy fighting Lu Kai and Wang Kang and must be rescued. After his rescue, he will help the Wei forces negotiate with Meng Huo.
Quotes[]
- "Lu Kai, you should join Wei too! There's no future in Shu without Master Liu Bei!
- "But I am an honor-bound to repay my debt to Master Liu Bei. While I stand, I will allow no rebellion to go unpunished"
- "Honor is a fine thing. But I believe the definition of honor changes according to one's circumstances.
- ~~Yong Kai, Lu Kai and Zhang Chunhua; Dynasty Warriors 9
Historical Information[]
Yong Kai was the prefect of Jianning Commandery in Shu. He rebelled to gain independence from Shu. Contrary to most depictions in fiction, he was actually the main leader of the revolt, rather than Meng Huo, who inherited his position after Gao Ding had betrayed Yong Kai.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms[]
In the novel, Zhuge Liang recalls Zhao Yun from his northern post back to Chengdu after Yong Kai joins forces with Meng Huo. Once Zhao Yun arrives, Zhuge Liang begins preparing for his invasion of Nanzhong.
