Biography
Supuyan served Wuhuan along with Tadun. Having been defeated by Yuan Shao, the Wuhuan served him loyally. With commands among the Wuhuan Supuyan and Tadan assisted the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan in their defense against Cao Cao with cavalry. Cao Cao marched deep into Wuhuan territory with Zhang Liao serving as his vanguard. In the Battle of Mount Bolang they were defeated and Tadun was beheaded. After their defeat Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and Supuyan fled to Gongsun Kang, who feigned an interest in helping them. After they arrived he had them beheaded to gain favor with Cao Cao.
