Xu Rong (general)

In this Chinese name, the family name is Xú (徐) .

1. Sanguozhi indicated that Xu Rong died soon after Dong Zhuo, who died in May 192. Thus, Xu Rong's death date should be c.June 192
2. Volume 59 of Zizhi Tongjian recorded that Xu Rong was from Xuantu. However, Gongsun Du's biography in Sanguozhi recorded that Xu Rong was from the same commandery as him. The confusion may have arisen from the account in Du's biography that he was originally from Xiangping County, but his father Gongsun Yan later moved to Xuantu.

4. (董卓在雒阳，袁绍等诸军皆畏其强，莫敢先进。曹操曰：“举义兵以诛暴乱，大众已合，诸君何疑！向使董卓倚王室，据旧京，东向以临天下，虽以无道行之，犹足为患。今焚烧宫室，劫迁天子，海内震动，不知所归，此天亡之时也，一战而天下定矣。”遂引兵西，将据成皋，张邈遣将卫兹分兵随之。进至荥阳汴水，遇卓将玄菟徐荣，与战，操兵败，...) Zizhi Tongjian vol.59

6. (傕等然之，各相谓曰：“京师不赦我，我当以死决之。若攻长安克，则得天下矣；不克，则钞三辅妇女财物，西归乡里，尚可延命。”众以为然，于是共结盟，率军数千，晨夜西行。王允闻之，乃遣卓故将胡轸﹑徐荣击之于新丰。荣战死，轸以众降.) Houhanshu, vol.72
