Han Zhong 韓忠

Han Zhong was a Yellow Turban leader during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184. He opposed Zhu Jun and survived several of his attacks, but eventually got killed.

Life
After the death of Zhao Hong, Han Zhong re-occupied Wan and opposed Zhu Jun once more. Zhu Jun sent in attack from the southwest, supported by drums and battle cries. Han Zhong and all his men went to deal with the attack. What Han Zhong did not notice was that Zhu Jun led picked troops secretly to the northeast. They climbed Wan's walls and entered the city. Following this, Han Zhong retreated to hold the citadel, he was frightened and asked to surrender. Zhu Jun, however, declined the request saying that killing all Yellow Turbans would be a sufficient warning to everyone that they should avoid all evil conduct. After several battles, Zhu Jun hadn't made any progress, so he climbed a hill of earth to look over the scene and came up with the plan to break through Han Zhong's siege ring, which would force Han Zhong out of the citadel. Zhu Jun's forces opened the siege and Han Zhong and his forces indeed came out. Han Zhong was completely defeated and more then ten thousand of his men lost their heads.

Differences between Fact & Fiction

 * Historically, Han Zhong only faced Zhu Jun at Wan and not the combined force of Zhu Jun and Liu Bei.
