Note: Han Sui's 190 start is the host of a bizarre bug. Upon the start of the campaign, there will be an instant defection from Miao Wanwan. This is Han Sui's own wife, and she is present during all the other start dates. The game will treat the two as never being married, and Miao Wanwan won't even be considered family by all three of her own children. Because of this bug, she isn't listed in the 190 start but will still be referred to as Han Sui's wife on the rest of this wiki.
Biography[]
Han Sui was born into a bureaucratic family with minor influence in Luoyang. Subsequently, they could afford to grant the young Sui an education, and he entered the administration of the Han dynasty as a local commandery officer. The local administrator saw potential in Han Sui and sent him to Luoyang as his representative. Here, he befriended a young Cao Cao and later became a close confidant of He Jin. He urged He Jin to kill the Ten Attendants, though He Jin erred on the side of caution. Unsurprisingly, this didn't earn Han Sui any favours with the eunuchs, and he soon left Luoyang, returning to his native Jincheng out west.
In 184, rebels attacked Yuanya , where Han Sui resided at the time. The events around the rebellion are a little unclear. Han Sui either defected or was taken hostage but later managed to weasel his way into a leadership position alongside Bian Zhang, another defector/hostage. In any case, Han Sui emerged as one of the leaders of this new group unaffiliated with the larger Han empire, which was reeling under the pressure of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Seeking to take advantage of a weakened empire, Han Sui and Bian Zhang launched two attacks on Chang'an, though both failed. By 190, Han Sui was likely the last remaining leader of the failed rebellion. Around that time, the rebel coalition collapsed into separate entities, one of which would be ruled by Ma Teng, with which he would become vast friends, the two warlords becoming stalwart allies.
As the Han Empire began to collapse and Dong Zhuo took power, Han Sui recognized his reign as legitimate. Subsequently, Dong Zhuo appointed Han Sui as an official imperial general, allowing him to keep his territory. When Dong Zhuo was assassinated in 192, and his territory was taken over by Li Jue and Guo Si, he recognized their rule as legitimate alongside Ma Teng. However, Li Jue and Guo Si were vastly more cruel than even Dong Zhuo, and many secretly resented them.
By 194, an unlikely alliance formed between Ma Teng and Han Sui and the power-hungry governor of Yi province, Liu Yan. Together they rebelled against Li Jue and Guo Si and attempted to march on Chang'an. The resulting campaign was a military disaster, and the forces of the three rulers were soundly defeated. When it became clear the war was hopeless, Han Sui tried to negotiate a truce, but Li Jue killed his messengers. Most likely, his story would have ended there if Emperor Xian didn't escape right from under Li Jue and Guo Si's noses. The Emperor fled east towards Luoyang and later fell under the control of Cao Cao. Without the young emperor to use as their political pawn, Li Jue and Guo Si's legitimacy collapsed, and mass defections, infighting, and invasions from all sides led to their downfall.
In 197, Han Sui acknowledged Cao Cao as the legitimate regent of the Han Empire alongside Ma Teng. However, Cao Cao was worried that the pair would turn against him. He festered tensions between the friends and ultimately succeeded, as Han Sui and Ma Teng became bitter enemies. The fighting between the two was particularly brutal, as they would go out of their way to butcher each other's wives and children without any sort of restraint. The war eventually calmed down, though, primarily due to high losses on both sides. Finally, Ma Teng would abandon his territory to his son, Ma Chao, before joining Cao Cao's court at Xu in 208. It was only then that Han Sui eased tensions between his territory and Ma Chao's.
In 211, Cao Cao attacked a minor warlord called Zhang Lu in the northwest. However, whether through miscommunication or an excuse for opportunism, Han Sui and Ma Chao believed that the attack was directed at them. Believing allying with each other was the lesser evil than outright being invaded, the pair formed an unlikely alliance and rebelled against Wei. While the couple had initial success, internal instability would be their downfalls, as many officers defected to Cao Cao during the war. By 214, Han Sui's forces had all but collapsed in the wake of an offensive led by Xiahou Yuan. As the situation became desperate, Han Sui began recruiting countless "barbarians" from beyond China's northern and western borderlands. These forces held on, but anticlimactically, Han Sui died of old age only a few months later in 215. With their leader dead, most of his officers surrendered to Cao Cao, and the late Han Sui's territory was annexed into Wei.
Trivia[]
- Han Sui's starting retinue consists of Xiliang Cavalry. This is the unique unit of Dong Zhuo, making Han Sui one of very few characters to use another faction's unique unit.
