范先 / Fan Xian (late Han)

Overview

范先 / Fan Xian (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 1070 as the zhonglangjiang paired with 卫固 in the Hedong retention request. The source places him in the local elite-risk layer around 河东郡 and 高干’s renewed rebellion.

Current Profile

Hanji 1070 says Fan Xian and Wei Gu visit 钟繇 to ask that 王邑 remain Hedong administrator. Zhong Yao refuses. The host reads their request as a cover for hidden coordination with Gao Gan, so Fan Xian becomes part of the reason 曹操 and 荀彧 need a fitted replacement in 杜畿.
