Gongjin's Campaign Memorials

Duan Xun 段訓 was an imperial envoy who awarded honors to Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan.

Biography[]

In 192, after Dong Zhuo was killed, the new administration sent Duan Xun to increase Liu Yu's fief size as well as additional honors. He also conferred Gongsun Zan as General of the Front and enfeoffed him as Marquis of Yi. However, Gongsun Zan soon forced Duan Xun to use his authority to execute Liu Yu after accusing Liu Yu of harboring thoughts of usurpation. Gongsun Zan afterwards petitioned for Duan Xun to become Inspector of You province.[1]
