The ever-changing风云 of the Three Kingdoms period produced many heroes, but also more than a few unfortunate individuals. Here, we have compiled a list for your consideration.

NO 10: Li Su

He helped Dong Zhuo persuade Lü Bu to surrender, and then helped Lü Bu kill Dong Zhuo. In the end, he was beheaded by Lü Bu as a public warning. Li Su lived his life in constant fear, doing everything he could to survive and climb the ranks for wealth and power. Although Li Su had some martial skills, evident from his victory over Niu Fu, his mind was too simple.

Li Su Unfortunate Index: 9.1

NO 9: Xiahou En

Relying on his uncle's power, Xiahou En was always arrogant. Unfortunately, he met Zhao Yun while bullying civilians. He became the second ghost under Zhao Yun's spear at Changban Slope, not even managing to block a single move. What’s worse, his prized Qinghong Sword fell into the hands of his enemy, becoming a signature weapon for killings.

Xiahou En Unfortunate Index: 9.2

NO 8: Zhang Song

Mention Zhang Song, and one can't help but admire his photographic memory. However, despite his talents, he failed to gain recognition from Cao Cao or Liu Bei. Ultimately betrayed, he was executed by Zhang Ren and Liu Zhang in Chengdu. Had Liu Bei and Pang Tong's plans been more meticulous, Zhang Song might have contributed significantly to Shu Han's strategists.

Zhang Song Unfortunate Index: 9.3

NO 7: Pang Tong

Fengchu, a renowned strategist on par with Kongming. Unfortunately, due to his appearance and temperament, neither Sun Quan, Cao Cao, nor Liu Bei initially appreciated him. His chain strategy seemed like Luo Guanzhong's way to highlight Zhuge Liang. Even after becoming deputy military advisor, he didn’t contribute much and often quarreled with Zhuge. Finally, he died foolishly at Luofeng Slope after swapping horses and directions with Liu Bei. His body couldn't even be fully retrieved. Poor Fengchu!

Pang Tong Unfortunate Index: 9.4

NO 6: Liu Cong

Liu Cong was innocent; being so young, he couldn't possibly be that corrupt. Unfortunately, he had such a mother and uncle. After Liu Biao's death, he was thrust onto the puppet throne and quickly surrendered to Cao Cao, eventually dying far from home. This child was killed by those closest to him, confused until the very end.

Liu Cong Unfortunate Index: 9.5

NO 5: Tian Feng

Tian Feng foresaw everything. One wonders how he ended up serving such a lord. Clearly, his ability to choose a good boss paled compared to Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Despite being absolutely correct, he still met an untimely death. Tian Feng, indeed unlucky.

Tian Feng Unfortunate Index: 9.6

NO 4: Lu Meng

In the early stages of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Meng was purely a brute. Eventually, his plan of crossing the river in white clothing somewhat changed readers' perceptions of him. But alas, he was scared to death by the apparition of General Guan Yu. Dying in mythological fashion, he hadn’t even fully enjoyed his role as commander, and his death was gruesome with blood flowing from all seven orifices. Truly, who else could he have fought instead of Guan Yu? Fatefully unlucky.

Lu Meng Unfortunate Index: 9.7

NO 3: Wang Lang

Wang Lang might have been considered quite the debater in Cao Wei. Yet, emboldened after a meal, he went to provoke on the battlefield without considering his opponent—Zhuge Liang, who had previously debated and bested a group of scholars in Jiangdong. As a result, he was literally argued to death. Truly an old man's misfortune, arriving at Yama's gates with grievances, surely to be beaten thoroughly.

Wang Lang Unfortunate Index: 9.8

NO 2: Yan Liang

Appearing first at Pan River, Yan Liang rescued Yuan Shao from danger amidst the triple attack by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. Later at Bai Ma, he was incredibly valiant, defeating Xu Huang in 20 moves and scaring off Xu Chu. Such a dominant figure was killed with a single strike. Not only did he die unjustly, but he also gained a reputation for slow reflexes (or being stupid?). Missing out on fame at Hu Lao Pass to visit family indirectly led to the events of warm wine斩Hua Xiong and the three heroes battling Lü Bu. The person he enabled ultimately took advantage of his momentary lapse. Yan Liang, Yan Liang, unlucky but with class.

Yan Liang Unfortunate Index: 9.9

NO 1: Jiang Gan

When it comes to Jiang Gan, I can't help but laugh. On his first trip to Jiangdong, he brought a forged letter that paralyzed Cao Cao's navy. The second time, he inadvertently brought explosives that burned Cao Cao's decades of accumulation to ashes. Jiang Gan was undoubtedly the fuse for the Battle of Red Cliffs; without him, Cao Cao wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating defeat. Jiang Gan was thoroughly toyed with by Zhou Yu. After the Battle of Red Cliffs, Jiang Gan disappeared, likely fleeing in the chaos or being eliminated by Cao Cao and his men. Think about it, who in Cao's camp wouldn't hate him to the bone?

Jiang Gan Unfortunate Index: 10
