Han Qi 韓琪

In Chapter 92 of the Romance, when Zhuge Liang reaches Mianyang, Cao Rui, the ruler of Wei, sends the imperial son-in-law Xiahou Mao to gather the troops and horses of the various routes of Guanzhong to resist him. While Xiahou Mao is gathering troops at Chang'an, Han De, a great general of Xiliang, arrives leading 80,000 troops from the various routes of the Western Qiang, and Xiahou Mao rewards him generously and makes him vanguard. Han De had four sons, the eldest Han Ying, the second Han Yao, the third Han Qiong and the fourth Han Qi, all thoroughly versed in martial arts and surpassing others in archery and horsemanship. Romance, Ch. 92 §1 · 4–5

Leading his four sons and 80,000 Western Qiang troops, Han De reaches Mount Fengming and meets the Shu army. Han De rides out, with his four sons ranged on either side. When Zhao Yun singles out Han De for combat, the eldest son Han Ying meets him and is speared to death in fewer than three bouts; the second son Han Yao comes out swinging his blade but cannot hold him off, and the third son Han Qiong, leveling his crescent-bladed halberd, rushes forward to attack Zhao Yun from the other side. Romance, Ch. 92 §5–6

Zhao Yun is not in the least afraid, and his spearmanship does not falter. The fourth son Han Qi, seeing that his two elder brothers cannot overcome Zhao Yun, also spurs his horse and charges in swinging a pair of sun-and-moon blades, surrounding Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun fights the three generals alone in their midst, and soon after, when Han Qi is struck by the spear and falls from his horse, a subordinate general from the Han ranks hurries out and rescues him. Then Han Qiong is hit in the middle of the face by an arrow Zhao Yun shoots, falls from his horse and dies, and Han Yao is captured alive. Romance, Ch. 92 §7–8

Seeing that all four sons have fallen at Zhao Yun's hands, Han De, his courage shattered, is the first to flee back into his lines. The Romance celebrates this fight with a poem by a later writer that runs 'Alone he slew four generals and charged the enemy ranks,' and Deng Zhi congratulates Zhao Yun on having slain four generals by main force before the battle lines. Zhao Yun has Han Yao escorted away and sends a report of victory to Zhuge Liang. Later Han De, saying, 'How can I not take revenge on the enemy who killed my four sons?', charges at Zhao Yun, but in fewer than three bouts he is speared to death. In the Romance, Han Qi's name appears in only two passages, the one introducing the four sons and the one in which he is rescued. Romance, Ch. 92 §5 · 7–8 · 10–11 · 13
