Han Zong 韓綜

In the 2nd year of Huangwu (223) Han Dang was enfeoffed as Marquis of Shicheng, promoted to General of Illustrious Martial Might with the concurrent post of Administrator of Guanjun, and later the title of Area Commander (dudu) was added. Leading 10,000 Dare-to-Die and Jiefan troops, he attacked and defeated the bandits of Danyang, and just then died of illness. His son Han Zong inherited the marquisate and command of the troops.

That year, when Sun Quan went to attack Shiyang, Han Zong was in mourning, so Sun Quan had him guard Wuchang. The Biography of the Lord of Wu records Sun Quan's attack on Jiangxia and siege of Shiyang, after hearing of the death of Emperor Wen of Wei, under the 7th month of autumn in the 5th year of Huangwu (226). But Han Zong was dissolute and lawless. Sun Quan did not call him to account for his father's sake, but Han Zong was inwardly afraid, and he loaded his father's coffin and fled to Wei with his mother, his household, and several thousand men and women of his personal troops.

The Biography of the Lord of Wu, after the entry for the first month of spring in the 6th year of Huangwu (227), records in the intercalary month that 'Han Dang's son Han Zong surrendered to Wei with his following.' The account of Cao Xiu in the Records of Wei says that after Emperor Ming took the throne, Cao Xiu attacked the Wu general Shen De, who was stationed at Wan, and beheaded him, and the Wu generals Han Zong, Zhai Dan and others one after another came over to Cao Xiu with their followings and surrendered.

Wei made Han Zong a general and enfeoffed him as Marquis of Guangyang. Because Han Zong repeatedly raided the border and killed and harmed the people, Sun Quan always gnashed his teeth over him. Records, Wu 10 §19

After Sun Quan's death, in the 10th month of the 1st year of Jianxing (252), Zhuge Ke gathered his forces at Dongxing, rebuilt the great dike, and built two forts on either side, which he had Quan Duan and Liu Lüe hold. Wei had its great generals Hu Zun, Zhuge Dan and others lead 70,000 men to attack the two strongholds, and Zhuge Ke went to the rescue with 40,000 troops, sending Liu Zan, Lü Ju, Tang Zi and Ding Feng ahead as the vanguard. It was cold and snowing, and the Wei generals, gathered drinking, saw that the Wu soldiers were few and were climbing the dike bare-bodied with their armor taken off; they laughed loudly and did not put their troops in order.

When the Wu soldiers got up, they beat their drums, shouted and cut wildly, and the Wei army scattered and crowded onto the floating bridge; when the bridge collapsed, they fell into the water and trampled one another. Huan Jia, Administrator of Le'an, and others died together, and the dead numbered tens of thousands. The Biography of Zhuge Ke records that 'the former rebel general Han Zong had become Commander of the Front Army of Wei, and he too was beheaded.' The record of Han Dang says that in the battle of Dongxing Han Zong led the vanguard and died when the army was defeated, and Zhuge Ke cut off his head and sent it to be presented at Sun Quan's shrine.

The Biographies of the Three Successor Rulers record this battle as taking place on the day wuwu in the 12th month of the 1st year of Jianxing, saying that Wu routed the Wei army at Dongxing and killed the generals Han Zong, Huan Jia and others. That year was the 4th year of Jiaping of Wei, and since it was the 12th lunar month, it corresponds to early 253. Chen Shou's main text does not record Han Zong's courtesy name or the year of his birth. Records, Wu 3 §3–5
