Notes: Xun Chen’s name is misrepresented in numerous sources, including: Pinyin Brewitt-Taylor chapter 7 as Xun Chang, chapters 22 and 26 as Xun Shen; Moss Roberts chapter 7 as Xun Chan, chapters 22 and 26 as Xun Shen; Zizhi Tongjian as Xun Shen. And in hoards of sites and games. You will see these mistakes wherever you see the 諶 character. |

| Xun Yu (Wenruo) | 荀彧 (文若) | |
| Hsün Yü (Wên-jo) | 荀彧 (文若) | |
| Cousin of Xun You, a very talented advisor under Cao Cao. Commited suicide. | ||
Notes: The reason we have Xun Yu and Xun “You” is because, though the sounds are the same (both Yu), they’re pronounced Yu4 and Yu1, the You idea, I suppose, comes in for foreign readers who cannot see the tones. |
||
| Zhang He (Junyi) | 張郃 (儁乂) | |
| Chang Ho (Chün-i) | 张郃 (儁乂) | |
| Originally under Yuan Shao, defected to Wei. Died battling Zhuge Liang. | ||
Notes: Apparently, Zhang He is misspelled ‘Zhang Yue’ in Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI. |
