公孙旭 / Gongsun Xu (Late Han)

公孙旭 / Gongsun Xu (Late Han) is named in Hanji 1030 as 公孙瓒’s son. As 袁绍 advances on 易京, Gongsun Zan sends him to seek help from commanders of the 黑山军.

The episode uses this mission to show how narrow Gongsun Zan’s remaining options have become. He looks outside Yijing for relief while his own southern command network has already failed to rescue him, a reversal tied to his earlier refusal to rescue surrounded subordinates. The page is disambiguated from the existing Warring States 公孙须 / Gongsun Xu page, and it preserves this source’s spelling 公孙旭.
