Warlords of the Three Kingdoms: Gongsun Zan 公孙瓒


Gongsun Zan, the frontier protector of the north. When the Han royal power disintegrated and many warlords carved up northern China, Gongsun Zan remained guarding the frontiers against potential incursions by the steppe nomads against the realm. Despite being the lone guardians on the walls, without hope of supplies from the bickering realm, Gongsun Zan took the fight to the northern steppe nomads. He led a powerful vanguard of elite horsemen called the "White Horse Volunteers" and achieved several resounding battles against them. For this he was known as the "White Horse General." 


TOP LIEUTENANTS


Zhao Yun, a champion astride a white horse called "White Dragon." Young, handsome, and deeply loyal to his lord, Zhao Yun was a fine hero admired by many, even his enemies. Originally he served the frontier general Gongsun Zan as one of the "White Horse Volunteers." He eventually pledged his loyalty to Liu Bei. His actions at the Battle of Changban where he rode alone into a burning city to rescue to son of his lord was perhaps one of the most memorable climaxes within the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
