Zang Hong (?-195), whose courtesy name was Ziyuan, was from Sheyang, Guangling (now Huai'an, Jiangsu) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Another theory is: his name is Ziyuan, and he is from Sheyang, Guangling (now Baoying, Jiangsu). His birth year is unknown, and he died in the third year of Xingping (195 AD).

Zang Hong was originally a filial and honest person in the county. In the late years, Emperor Ling resigned and returned home, and was hired by Zhang Chao as Gongcao. Zang Hong once advised Zhang Chao to challenge Dong Zhuo, but later joined Yuan Shao as the governor of Qingzhou. Yuan Shao was afraid of Zang Hong's talents and sent him to be the prefect of Dongjun. Cao Cao attacked Zhang Chao time, but because Yuan Shao refused to save him, Zang Hong broke off his friendship with Yuan Shao and was later killed by Yuan Shao.

Zang Hong's father Zang Min was once the General of the Huns, the Prefect of Zhongshan, and the Prefect of Taiyuan. Zang Hong was once filial and honest, and was elected as county magistrate with Liu Yao and Wang Lang. Later, he resigned from office and returned home and was hired as Gongcao by Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling. During the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Zang Hong persuaded Zhang Chao to rebel against Dong and joined Zhang Chao's brother Zhang Miao to join Liu Dai, Kong Yichang, Qiao Mao and others in the Sour Jujube Alliance, and Zang Hong was sworn to attack Dong Zhuo.

After the Dong army was unable to get out of food, Zang Hong surrendered to Yuan Shao and was valued by Yuan Shao. He served as the governor of Qingzhou. He was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou for two years and was later transferred to the prefect of Dongjun. In 194, Zhang Chao and his brother Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled against Cao Cao to welcome Lu Bu. The next year, he was defeated by Cao Cao and surrounded Yongqiu. Zang Hong asked Yuan Shao to send troops to rescue him, but Yuan Shao refused to accept Yuan Shao's orders, so Zhang Chao was killed by Cao Cao. Zang Hong resented Yuan Shao and refused to surrender. Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Zang Hong's stationed in Dongwuyang. After a long time, he could not capture him. Chen Lin wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender, but was rejected by Zang Hong. The food in the city was exhausted and he was captured by Yuan Shao, but Zang Hong's subordinates would rather die than surrender. Zang Hong was captured alive by Yuan Shao, but he refused to surrender and was killed by Yuan Shao.

Chen Shou's Three Kingdoms commented: "Chen Deng and Zang Hong also had a strong moral integrity. He died in his descending year and failed his achievements. Hong was weak in his army and had a strong enemy. He was so proud of his determination!"

Zang Hong, a loyal and righteous man! Early figures of the Three Kingdoms, and his name was Chen Deng. Yuan Shao killed two martyrs every day and was him and Chen Rong. The true brothers of friendship and friendship were both slaughtered by each other, and they were also in love with each other~~~(Note: Zang Hong, Tian Chou, Chen Rong, and Zhang Chao were both civil and military, and had deep personal relationships, and were collectively called "Four Friends of the North"!)

Zhang Chao: "Hong Cai is very smart and has excellent knowledge and great loves him very much, and he is a strange man in the country." "Ziyuan, a righteous man in the world, will never betray his true nature."

Yuan Shao's seat: "How to kill two martyrs in one day!"

Xu Zhong: "Hong Dun the name of the world, saves the old king, his kindness is enough to touch people's feelings, and righteousness is enough to inspire the common people. However, Yuan also knows his relatives and friends, and he is in charge of the prefectures and counties. Although he is not a monarch and his subjects, he is actually the leader of the alliance. Since he has received his order, his righteousness will not be 2000. Yuan and Cao Fang were in harmony with the royal family. Lu Bu was rebellious and had no righteousness, and he was determined to rebel, but Miao, Chao was a sinner who was a royal law. Cao Gong fought against him, but Yuan did not save him, which was not unreasonable. Hong should not ask Yuan for troops, but he was not worthy of resentment. Those who are planning to Hong should not be able to do anything, so he could go to other countries to seek rescue. If his plan did not show his potential, Xu Geng would be able to observe the provocation and die in Chao. Why should he swear to guard the poor city without any flexibility, and die to destroy the people, and his fame will not be established. Good fortune is sad!"

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Zang Hong": "When Yongqiu was surrounded, Zang Hong was angry and strong! I thought that his actions were full of fame and his request to be promoted, which was truly worthy of pity. Is the heroic spirit different from the spirit of keeping righteousness? If he was planning a plan and deceitful and deceitful, he was the only one who was profitable. Moreover, the city was in danger, and Cao and Yuan Fangmu, Hong only pointed out the foreign enemy's Heng to relieve the meeting of the county. The army was angry and frightened, and the military was afraid of it. It can be said that he was crying for Qin, but he had never heard of it when he was in Jing." "Hong was in a partial state and had a strong ambition."
