高干 / Gao Gan (late Han)

Hanji 956 introduces Gao Gan as 袁绍’s nephew in the persuasion mission sent to 韩馥. His value in the source is not independent policy advice; he marks Yuan Shao’s direct family stake in the effort to turn pressure on 冀州 into surrender.

Gao Gan travels in the same pressure-and-persuasion field as 辛评, 荀谌, and 郭图. Together they help make Han Fu experience yielding Jizhou as safer and more reputable than resisting, even though Han Fu’s own subordinates argue that the province still has troops and grain.
