Profile
Sui Yuanjin was a Supervising Commander under Yuan Shao. In Chapter 30 of the Romance, Yuan Shao has his senior general Chunyu Qiong, leading the Supervising Commanders Sui Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lü Weihuang, Zhao Rui and others, guard Wuchao with 20,000 men and horses, and when Cao Cao raids Wuchao, Sui Yuanjin, returning from transporting grain, comes to the rescue together with Zhao Rui and is killed by Cao Cao's troops. Romance, Ch. 30 §20 · 40–41
He appears in only Chapter 30 of the 120 chapters of the Romance, and no chapter title bears his name. He does not appear in Chen Shou's main text and is recorded only in Pei Songzhi's notes. In Chen Shou's main text, the Annals of Emperor Wu record that in the 10th month of winter in the 5th year of Jian'an (200), Yuan Shao transported grain by cart and had Chunyu Qiong and four others escort it with more than ten thousand troops, and that Cao Cao attacked them, crushed Chunyu Qiong and the others, and beheaded them all.

In the Romance
In Chapter 30 of the Romance, when Han Meng returns having lost the grain carts, Shen Pei says that Wuchao, where the grain is stored, must be guarded by a large force. Yuan Shao sends Shen Pei back to Ye to supervise the grain and fodder, and has his senior general Chunyu Qiong, leading the Supervising Commanders Sui Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lü Weihuang, Zhao Rui and others, guard Wuchao with 20,000 men and horses. Chunyu Qiong, hot-tempered and fond of wine, spends all day drinking with the generals once he reaches Wuchao. Romance, Ch. 30 §20–21
Xu You, having left Yuan Shao, tells Cao Cao that Chunyu Qiong, who guards Wuchao, loves his wine and keeps no watch, and urges him to burn the grain and baggage there. Cao Cao sets out with 5,000 men and horses flying the banners of Yuan Shao's army, claiming at every place they pass to be Jiang Qi's troops, and as the fourth watch ends he reaches Wuchao, sets fires on all sides and storms in. Chunyu Qiong, lying drunk, asks what the uproar is, but before he has finished speaking he is caught with hooks and dragged down. Romance, Ch. 30 §32 · 35 · 39–40
Just then Sui Yuanjin and Zhao Rui, who are returning from transporting grain, see flames rising over the encampment and hurry to the rescue. When it is reported that the enemy is behind them and troops should be divided to hold them off, Cao Cao roars that they are to turn and fight only once the enemy reaches their backs, and when the two generals drive their troops up he reins in his horse and turns to fight. The two generals cannot withstand him and are both killed by Cao Cao's troops, and the grain and fodder are burned to the last. Romance, Ch. 30 §40–41
