Yuan Shang

Yuan Shang is Yuan Shao's third son. Due to his good looks, he was favored by Yuan Shao. After his father's death, he fought with his eldest brother, Yuan Tan, for the succession. Later, he was defeated by Cao Cao and turned to his other brother Yuan Xi, governor of You Province, for help. However, the two were defeated there as well and fled to Gongsun Kang of Liao Dong. Gongsun Kang, however, killed the two and sent their heads to Cao Cao in order to keep him from invading Liao Dong.
