Biography & Historical Record
Zhang Tong (张统, Trương Thống) was the grandson of the legendary frontier general Zhang Liao (张辽, Trương Liêu) and son of Zhang Hu (张虎, Trương Hổ). During the reign of Emperor Cao Fang (曹芳), after Zhang Hu’s death, Zhang Tong inherited the noble title Marquis of Jinyang (晋阳侯), perpetuating the Zhang family’s illustrious Wei service from the Hefei campaigns onward.
Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 67–68 (Hefei / Xiaoyao Ford arc): Zhang Liao (张辽, Trương Liêu)‘s fame dominates; Zhang Hu and Zhang Tong belong to the later hereditary line — the novel does not stage Zhang Tong’s succession but readers know the Hefei hero’s house continues under Wei.
