徐凤 / Xu Feng (bandit, late Han)

Overview

徐凤 / Xu Feng is the Xu-Yang bandit leader in Hanji 826, disambiguated from the existing 徐奉 eunuch route. He is defeated in the 145 CE campaign, escapes, burns Dongcheng, and is killed by 下邳谢安.

Current Profile

Xu Feng appears in the unrest that leads Liang Na to seek commanders and appoint Teng Fu, Feng Gun, and Zhao Xu to suppress bandit groups. Teng Fu defeats the main rebel leaders, but Xu Feng escapes from the first round of fighting.

His later burning of Dongcheng makes him a local public danger rather than a merely defeated fugitive. Xie An’s ambush and beheading of Xu Feng closes this branch of the campaign and converts local action into court reward.

Key Characteristics

• Xu-Yang bandit leader in the 145 CE unrest field.
• Defeated but not immediately eliminated in Teng Fu’s campaign.
• Fugitive who burns Dongcheng after escaping.
• Killed by Xie An through locally mobilized ambush.

Evidence

• Campaign target: Hanji 826 places Xu Feng among the bandit leaders targeted in the Xu-Yang suppression campaign.
• Escape and arson: Hanji 826 says Xu Feng escapes and burns Dongcheng.
• Death: Hanji 826 says Xie An ambushes and kills Xu Feng.

Qualifications

The page is source-scoped and does not identify Xu Feng’s wider organization, followers, family, or final legal treatment beyond beheading. The semantic suffix keeps him separate from 徐奉, the later eunuch named in a different source cluster.

What Changed

• Created a disambiguated Xu Feng bandit page for the 145 CE unrest layer.
• Recorded the Dongcheng arson and Xie An ambush as the source-bounded reason for the page.

Relationships

• 下邳谢安 - local actor who kills Xu Feng.
• 滕抚 - commander whose campaign first defeats Xu Feng’s rebel field.
• 徐州 and 扬州 - provincial unrest frame for Xu Feng’s campaign context.
• 赏募动员式平乱 - reward-backed campaign environment that turns Xu Feng’s death into a public merit case.
