Han Fu (warlord)

Han Fu (pronunciation^ⓘ) (died 191), courtesy nameWenjie, was a Chinese military general, politician, and warlord who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty.^[1] He was the governor of Ji Province (present-day southern Hebei) when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in 184.

Han Fu served as a Master of Writing, then as Palace Assistant Imperial Clerk until 189, when Dong Zhuo named him the governor of Ji Province. During that year, Yuan Shao began plotting against Dong Zhuo, and Han Fu was unsure of whom to support. He sent some of his officers to keep Yuan Shao in check, but later in the year, he was persuaded by his Headquarters Officer Liu Zihui^[2] to ally with Yuan Shao.^[1]

In 191, when Yuan Shao's alliance broke apart, Han Fu attempted to control Yuan Shao by limiting his supplies. However, in response, Yuan Shao contacted Qu Yi, a rebellious officer under Han Fu, and urged Gongsun Zan to advance against Han Fu from the north while he brought his troops down the Yellow River. These military actions served their effect, and Han Fu was intimidated. His friend Guo Tu,^[3] Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan,^[4] and some of Han Fu's other officers convinced him that the only course of action was to yield the province to Yuan Shao, which Han Fu then did.^[1]

Under the rule of Yuan Shao, Han Fu's family was harassed, with one Zhu Han, seeking revenge on Han Fu for being mistreated by him in the past, came to Han Fu's home and broke his son's legs.^[5] Many of Han Fu's supporters left him or were killed by Yuan Shao after they tried to stop him from taking over the province, which led Han Fu to leave his home in Yingchuan for Zhang Miao, but he then believed that Zhang Miao was plotting against him, so he ended his own life.^[1]

En la novela histórica del siglo XIV, Romance de los Tres Reinos , Han Fu es uno de los señores de la guerra que se unen a la campaña contra Dong Zhuo. Tras la disolución de la coalición, regresa a la provincia de Ji. Yuan Shao comienza a considerar opciones para eliminar su dependencia del suministro de alimentos de Han Fu para mantener a sus tropas. Siguiendo el consejo de Pang Ji , Yuan Shao finge estar dispuesto a dividir el territorio de Han Fu con Gongsun Zan si ataca a Han Fu. Al ver la inminente invasión de Gongsun Zan, el atemorizado Han Fu entrega su territorio a Yuan Shao, a pesar de que varios funcionarios le ruegan que reconsidere. Después de que Yuan Shao toma el control de la provincia de Ji, se queda con el territorio y destituye a Han Fu. Decepcionado, Han Fu lo deja todo, incluyendo a su familia, y busca refugio con Zhang Miao en la comandancia de Chenliu. Sin embargo, al enterarse de que el mensajero de Yuan Shao se ha reunido con Zhang Miao, cree que Yuan Shao quiere que Zhang Miao lo mate, por lo que se suicida.
