Pan Feng (潘凤) (? - [[189]] AD) was a [[Chinese]] military officer who served under the command of [[Han Fu]], governor of [[Jizhou (region)|Jizhou]] (present day southern [[Hebei]]), during the [[Three Kingdoms]] period. After the tyrant [[Dong Zhuo]] seized control of the [[Han Dynasty|Han]] Imperial Court through manipulation of the young [[Emperor Xian]], regional warlords throughout the land rose to oppose his control. Partaking in this coalition were many powerful nobles and officers, including [[Yuan Shu]], [[Zhang Miao]], [[Cao Cao]] and Han Fu under the command of the "General of Chariots and Cavalry", [[Yuan Shao]]. Pan Feng was one of many officers who accompanied Han Fu and the coalition forces as they marched on [[Luoyang]] in 189 AD, serving as Fu's shield against Dong Zhou's approaching armies. Feng was respected by his peers and held in high esteem by his lord, due to his skillful prowess in battle.

As the coalition forces neared [[Si Shui Gate]], the first major obstacle opposing the coalition's objective, scouts reported the approach of Dong Zhou's [[vanguard]] forces, under the command of one of Dong Zhuo's most skilled and talented generals, [[Hua Xiong]]. The coalition leaders initially sneered at this threat, sending several officers of rank to challenge Hua Xiong to a [[Duel|death duel]]. Bao Xin's younger brother, [[Bao Zhong]], was ordered by the former to fight Hua Xiong to the death, but was instead quickly slain by Xiong. Yuan Shu's officer, [[Yu She]], was next to volunteer to dispatch the enemy commander, also meeting his death within moments. As the coalition leaders pondered their next course of action, Han Fu stepped forward, stating: "I have a brave warrior amongst my army. Pan Feng is his name, and he could slay this Hua Xiong." Then, without hesitation, Pan Feng rode out to challenge Hua Xiong. However, despite his efforts, Feng was no match for the mighty Hua Xiong, also falling to the enemy commander during their duel. Hua Xiong, after decimating the coalition's spearhead assualt and killing and forcing many more officers into retreat, was finally slain in a duel with the "Man of the Magnificent Beard", [[Guan Yu]].
Further information regarding the historical events of the Three Kingdoms era can be read in [[Chen Shou]]'s official historical texts known as the ''[[Sanguo Zhi]]''. A much more popular semi-fictional title known as the ''[[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]]'' by [[Luo Guanzhong]] is available for purchase at bookstores and via the Internet. This book contains many battles, events and actual historical individuals of the era, although many key facts have been altered by the author to add dramatic effect to the storyline.
