Quan Xu (simplified: 全绪, traditional: 全緒, pinyin: Quán Xù) was a son of Quan Cong. At the Battle of Quebei (芍陂) in 241, Quan Cong commanded the Wu army against Wang Ling. When the Wu army was in difficulty, Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng fought hard and halted the Wei advance. Quan Xu and his brother Quan Duan (全端), also generals, then counterattacked and Wang Ling’s army withdrew. When merit was assessed, “holding the enemy” was ranked above “driving the enemy back,” so Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng were made full generals while Quan Xu and Quan Duan received only subordinate rank; Quan Cong and Quan Ji resented this. Few other details are recorded in the sources.
