Yu Zan (SL+3) joins State of Wu!
Once upon a time...Soldiers of Wu lamented the loss of Zhang Cheng, who served with them for years, but then a boisterous, stout man laughed at their folly. Enraged, Yuan Hui drew his sword at the man, and thus asked, "Who are you to belittle the late General?!" And so replied the stranger, "I am Yu Zan, and I saw the defeat arriving before you've even left for the Han province!" And so Yu Zan, queried by Yuan Hui, lectured the soldiers on Thirty-Six Stratagems, and the importance of rice and supplies in warfare both small and grand, and Yuan Hui took Yu Zan to Lord of Wu, who, exalted at Yu Zan's knowledge of tactics and strategies, employed him as a general.
