Historical Information
Jin Xuan was a minor warlord affiliated with the imperial court. He was born in Jingzhao, Si Province and was a descendant of Han official Jin Midi. After taking some appointments in the Han imperial court, such as becoming "Gentleman of the Yellow Gate", "Consultant" and "General of the Household", he served as Administrator of Wuling Commandery until the year 209 when Liu Bei initiated an attack on Jing Province. As a result, Jin Xuan was forced to defend his territory and lost to Liu Bei's forces. He eventually surrendered Wuling to Liu Bei, but was killed nonetheless.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In chapter 53 of the novel, Jin Xuan is set on defending Wuling from the forces of Zhang Fei sent by Liu Bei. He almost executes his officer Gong Zhi for suggesting surrender as their only option. Upon greeting their invaders outside the city walls, he is greatly frightened by Zhang Fei's roar to the point of fleeing back inside. He is shot in the face by Gong Zhi who censures his lord for not yielding when he had the chance. With his head presented to Zhang Fei, the position of governor was now given to Gong Zhi by Liu Bei.
