Profile
Han Juzi was one of Yuan Shao's supervising commanders. In Chapter 30 of the Romance, Yuan Shao has his senior general Chunyu Qiong lead the supervising commanders Sui Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lü Weihuang, Zhao Rui and others with 20,000 men to guard Wuchao, and he is named as one of them. Romance, Ch. 30 §20
He does not appear in Chen Shou's main text and is recorded only in Pei Songzhi's commentary. The Annals of Emperor Wu in Chen Shou's main text record that in the 10th month of winter in the 5th year of Jian'an (200), Yuan Shao had five men, Chunyu Qiong among them, escort the grain wagons with more than 10,000 troops, and that Cao Cao personally led 5,000 infantry and cavalry there by night, crushed Chunyu Qiong and the others, and beheaded them all. Records, Wei 1 §58 · 68–70
He appears in only one of the Romance's 120 chapters, Chapter 30, whose title ends with 'Raiding Wuchao, Mengde Burns the Grain.' The Romance depicts Sui Yuanjin and Zhao Rui being killed and Chunyu Qiong being captured in the fighting at Wuchao, but does not say what became of Han Juzi. Romance, Ch. 30 §20 · 39–41
In the Romance
In Chapter 30 of the Romance, Yuan Shao is about to behead Han Meng, who has come back after losing the grain wagons to Xu Huang and Shi Huan, but refrains when the officials intercede. When Shen Pei says that Wuchao is where the grain is stored and must be guarded by a large force, Yuan Shao replies that his plans are already settled, sends Shen Pei back to Yedu to oversee the grain, and has his senior general Chunyu Qiong lead the supervising commanders Sui Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lü Weihuang, Zhao Rui and others with 20,000 men to guard Wuchao. Romance, Ch. 30 §18 · 20
Chunyu Qiong is hard-tempered and fond of wine, so that many of the soldiers fear him, and on reaching Wuchao he gathers with the other generals and drinks all day. Xu You, who has been cast off by Yuan Shao and gone over to Cao Cao, tells Cao Cao that Yuan Shao's grain and baggage are all stored at Wuchao and that Chunyu Qiong, being fond of wine, keeps no guard, and urges him to go there pretending that Yuan Shao's general Jiang Qi has come to guard the grain, and to burn it. Romance, Ch. 30 §21 · 24–25 · 32
Cao Cao leads 5,000 men under the banners of Yuan Shao's army, passing them off as Jiang Qi's troops, reaches Wuchao when the fourth watch has already ended, and has fires set on all sides. Chunyu Qiong, having just been drinking with the other generals, is lying drunk in his tent and is dragged down with hooks. Sui Yuanjin and Zhao Rui, returning from transporting grain, come to the rescue but are both killed by Cao Cao's troops; the grain and fodder are burned to the last, and Chunyu Qiong, with his ears, nose and fingers cut off, is tied onto a horse and sent back to Yuan Shao's camp. The Romance does not say what became of Han Juzi in this battle. Romance, Ch. 30 §35 · 39–41
