Zhuge Jun

Zhuge Jun and his brothers hailed from Langya (present-day Yinan County, Shandong Province). 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]
