袁谭 / Yuan Tan

袁谭 / Yuan Tan enters the wiki through Hanji 1007 as the 袁绍-side actor who attacks 孔融 in 北海郡. The source says he first holds little more than the Pingyuan area, then builds reputation by fighting Tian Kai, the Qingzhou appointee aligned with 公孙瓒, and by taking Beihai from Kong Rong.

The episode uses Yuan Tan as a short sequel to the Kong Rong case. His early battlefield success creates visible momentum, but the host says he soon becomes proud, keeps poor company, listens to petty people, and lets indulgence damage the reputation he had just gained. In this source, Yuan Tan is therefore not developed as a full biographical actor; he is a warning that early wins can decay if self-management and adviser quality fail.
