Geshu Han (哥舒翰; died 757) was a Tang dynasty general who served during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong in the 8th century.[1]
By 755, when the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, Geshu Han was a veteran of many battles. He was called to replace the generals Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing at Tong Pass after they were executed on false charges by Chancellor Yang Guozhong as part of a plot to sabotage the Tang defence against An Lushan. Upon arrival, Geshu Han himself fell victim to the same schemes, as he was forced by Guozhong to leave the safety of the stronghold and invite battle with the rebels on vulnerable ground. His forces suffered a catastrophic defeat, and he was taken prisoner by Lushan. As a result, Tong Pass fell, and the capital Chang'an was exposed to Lushan's forces.[2]
