韩忠 / Han Zhong (late Han)

Hanji 930 adds Han Zhong as the Yellow Turban leader who takes over after 朱儁 kills 赵弘. Han Zhong occupies the city and faces Zhu Jun’s feint toward the southwest corner before Zhu Jun’s elite troops climb the northeast corner and enter.

Han Zhong then asks to surrender. Zhu Jun first rejects the surrender, arguing that rebellion should not be rewarded, but later realizes that a totally closed encirclement leaves the rebels no exit except desperate resistance. Once Zhu Jun opens the siege, Han Zhong’s side begins looking for survival and loses cohesion; the battle ends with heavy casualties and 秦颉 cutting off Han Zhong’s head.
