Yuan Tan



Yuán Tán () (173 – 205) was the eldest son of the warlord Yuan Shao and served as a military commander under his father during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms era in ancient China. After Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan split with his youngest brother Yuan Shang (袁尚) over the successorship to their father's realm. Yuan Tan sought help from the powerful warlord Cao Cao and defeated Yuan Shang. However, the alliance eventually broke and Yuan Tan was defeated and executed by Cao Cao.
