Yuan Shang (died c. December 207[2]), courtesy name Xianfu, was a Chinese military general, politician, and warlord who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.
When Yuan Tan rushed back from his duty elsewhere, he could not revert the situation so instead he appointed himself General of Chariots and Cavalry (車騎將軍).
[5] Yuan Shang then left Shen Pei to defend Ye and personally led a force to Liyang to assist in the defences.
The war dragged on for about half a year until Yuan Shang's forces suffered a major defeat outside the city gates.
During Yuan Shang's stay in You Province, a mutiny broke out, and the two brothers were then forced to flee to Liaoxi, where the Wuhuan tribes resided.
