Kong Rong (onyomi: Kō Yū) is a politician, scholar, and minor warlord of the late Han period of Chinese history. As he was once the chancellor of Beihai Commandery, he is also known as Kong Beihai (孔北海). For being a political opponent of Cao Cao and humiliating him on multiple occasions, Kong Rong was eventually put to death on various charges.

Role in Games[]

Kong Rong is one of the pompous generals who flaunt around shallow words of heroism in Dynasty Warriors 6. He is seen in the beginning cinematic for Xiahou Dun's story. He acts as a cowardly master at the start of Taishi Ci's story in Special. Kong Rong appears as a fighting unit at Hu Lao Gate, Xu Chang, and in Taishi Ci's story version of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

In Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends, Kong Rong leads a group to Douchang to suppress former Yellow Turbans led by Guan Hai, only to be surrounded. He is is aided by Taishi Ci in the battle.

Within the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Kong Rong is a figure possessing moderate stats in Intelligence, Politics and Charisma that fall in the 60's to 70's range while possessing weak military stats which render Kong Rong an able domestic figure when employed. As a warlord, Kong Rong's retinue fluctuates between either including Taishi Ci, Liu Yao and several good domestic officers in his early governorship or having Wang Xiu as his lone officer roughly around the time when Liu Yao leads his own faction south. With a considerable lack of officers and potential new recruits, Kong Rong's poor aptitude for battle and being wedged between both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's armies, the choice to play as Kong Rong in later scenarios presents a significant challenge for expert players to overcome.
