[Information] Chen Shou dedicated the scroll, Sanguozhi Wei 17, to these men, and said, “Of all the generals of the period, these five generals can be considered the best of them all.” (時之良將,五子為先).

Note that this group excludes Cao and Xiahou clansmen, who were featured elsewhere in the Sanguozhi. [Group Detail]
