苏仆延 / Supuyan (late Han)

Overview

苏仆延 / Supuyan is a 乌桓 leader first mentioned in Yuan Shao’s northern-rear settlement and later killed by 公孙康 after fleeing the White Wolf Mountain defeat with the Yuan brothers.

Current Profile

Hanji 1032 places Supuyan among the Wuhuan leaders favored by 袁绍 with chanyu seals after 公孙瓒’s fall. Hanji 1079 supplies the endpoint of that alignment: after 蹋顿 is killed and Wuhuan is defeated, Supuyan accompanies 袁尚 and 袁熙 to Liaodong. Gongsun Kang then treats the refugees as a danger to his own autonomy, kills all three, and sends their heads to 曹操.

Key Characteristics

• Wuhuan leader inside Yuan Shao’s post-Gongsun-Zan northern settlement.
• Recipient of Yuan-side chanyu recognition in the current evidence.
• Refugee after the White Wolf Mountain defeat and Tadun’s death.
• Companion of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi in the flight to Liaodong.
• Killed by Gongsun Kang when the host-refugee alignment becomes a security risk.

Evidence

• Yuan-side recognition: Hanji 1032 lists Supuyan among Wuhuan leaders favored with chanyu seals.
• Flight and death: Hanji 1079 says Supuyan flees with the Yuan brothers and is killed by Gongsun Kang.

Qualifications

The Hanji 1079 transcript renders the name inconsistently as forms such as “素铺丸/素铺炎.” This page uses 苏仆延 / Supuyan as the cautious canonical route already reflected in Hanji 1032’s normalized summary. His precise title, independent policy, and the mechanics of his death remain source-scoped.

What Changed

• Created a stable identity connecting Yuan Shao’s Wuhuan recognition policy to the Liaodong refugee killings.

Relationships

• 乌桓 - frontier group Supuyan leads within the current sources.
• 袁绍 - northern patron who favors Supuyan with chanyu recognition.
• 蹋顿 - fellow Wuhuan leader whose death precedes Supuyan’s flight.
• 袁尚 - Yuan refugee killed with Supuyan in Liaodong.
• 袁熙 - second Yuan refugee killed in the same episode.
• 公孙康 - Liaodong ruler who kills the three refugees.
