韩猛 / Han Meng (late Han)

Overview

韩猛 / Han Meng is a 袁绍 commander whose current wiki role is narrowly tied to the pre-乌巢 logistics struggle in the 官渡之战. He appears as the grain-convoy commander whom 荀攸 identifies as brave but careless enough for 曹操 to attack.

Current Profile

The bounded source presents Han Meng as a vulnerability inside Yuan Shao’s stronger material position. Yuan’s army has grain convoys moving toward Guandu, but Xun You judges Han Meng’s temperament as exploitable: he is courageous, yet prone to underestimating danger.

Cao Cao acts on that judgment by sending 徐晃 and 史涣 to intercept Han Meng’s convoy. The successful attack burns Yuan Shao’s baggage and shows Cao’s side shifting from passive endurance at Guandu toward strikes on Yuan logistics before Xu You exposes the larger Wuchao target.

Key Characteristics

• Yuan Shao-side convoy commander in the Guandu supply struggle.
• Brave but careless figure in Xun You’s tactical assessment.
• Target of Cao Cao’s pre-Wuchao logistics interception.
• Source-bounded minor commander whose importance comes from the convoy he escorts rather than a full biography.

Evidence

• Temperament assessment: Hanji 1048 says Xun You describes Han Meng as brave but light-minded toward danger.
• Convoy attack: Hanji 1048 says Cao Cao sends Xu Huang and Shi Huan to intercept and defeat Han Meng, burning Yuan Shao’s baggage.
• Logistics significance: Hanji 1048 places the convoy strike during Cao Cao’s own supply crisis before the Wuchao intelligence arrives.

Qualifications

The page should remain narrow unless later sources add offices, earlier service, or later outcomes. The current source uses Han Meng primarily to show how Cao Cao and Xun You begin attacking Yuan Shao’s supply movement before the decisive Wuchao raid.

What Changed

• Created a source-bounded page for Han Meng’s Guandu convoy role.
• Connected the Han Meng interception to the broader pre-Wuchao logistics pressure.

Relationships

• 袁绍 - commander whose supply convoy Han Meng escorts.
• 荀攸 - Cao-side strategist who identifies Han Meng as an exploitable convoy commander.
• 曹操 - opposing commander who orders the interception.
• 徐晃 and 史涣 - Cao-side officers who execute the convoy attack.
• 官渡之战 - campaign setting where Han Meng’s convoy becomes a pre-Wuchao logistics target.
• 粮草命门打击 - adjacent logistics-strike concept that Han Meng’s smaller convoy case foreshadows.
