Background

edit

Zhuge Jun, due to the early death of his father Zhuge Gui,[1] was raised alongside his brother Zhuge Liang[2] under the care of their uncle Zhuge Xuan.[3] When Zhuge Xuan was appointed as the Administrator of Yuzhang by Yuan Shu,[4] he took Zhuge Jun and his brothers with him to Yuzhang. However, later, when the Han court appointed Zhu Hao to replace Zhuge Xuan,[5] the latter left for Jingzhou to join his old friend Liu Biao.[6] Zhuge Jun and Zhuge Liang followed him to Jingzhou.[7] Eventually, while Zhuge Liang served in Shu Han, Zhuge Jun also attained the rank of colonel.[8]
