Zhao Yun...while he's, to be honest, only average in skill, there is no doubt about his loyalty. He would've refused to serve Liu Shan otherwise. You made a good choice. I would advise someone like Lu Meng (my favorite character, and the reason I learned how to use spears when I saw how he's portrayed in DW) or even Zhang Liao, but your choice is pretty good.

People of Mikawa (the region that Tokugawa owns, IIRC) are famous for their spears. Since Hanzo is Mikawa-born, I guess it's only natural that he eventually learned how to use one. And speaking of Saber, if you're looking for one in the Sengoku Era...no, forget about Musashi. He absolutely qualifies yes, but if we're talking about a general, I'm talking about Makara Naotaka. If Musashi is an Arts-type, Makara is a definite Buster-type; his sword, Taroutachi, is more than 200cm long, and he uses it in the definitive battle between Azai-Asakura forces and the forces of Oda-Tokugawa at Anegawa. He lost, but that's beside the point; you tell me anyone else that can use a sword that huge in a regular battlefield.
