Biography & Historical Record
Zhuge Fan (诸葛耸, Gia Cát Phàm) was a noble scion of the Eastern Wu state during the Three Kingdoms period. Hailing from Yangdu County, Langya Commandery (present-day Yinan County, Shandong Province), he belonged to the illustrious Langya Zhuge clan. He was the youngest son of the Wu Grand Tutor and regent Zhuge Ke (诸葛恪, Gia Cát Khác), grandson of Grand Marshal Zhuge Jin (诸葛瑾, Gia Cát Cẩn), and grandnephew of Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮, Gia Cát Lượng).
During the night of the 253 AD coup, when imperial kinsman Sun Jun (孙峻, Tôn Tuấn) assassinated Zhuge Ke at a royal banquet, troops surrounded the regent’s manor in Jianye. While his elder brother Zhuge Qi (诸葛奇, Gia Cát Kỳ) was captured and executed inside the compound, Zhuge Fan reacted swiftly, escorting his mother and close retainers through a rear exit into the night. Aiming to reach safety in the south, the group fled toward Nanling (present-day Anhui Province). However, weighed down by women and baggage, they were overtaken by Sun Jun’s elite cavalry and slain on the spot. The tragedy fulfilled Zhuge Jin (诸葛瑾, Gia Cát Cẩn)‘s famous prophecy concerning Zhuge Ke’s arrogance bringing total destruction upon his household.

Following the regent’s assassination by Sun Jun (孙峻, Tôn Tuấn), the ruthless pursuit and slaughter of Zhuge Ke’s remaining family at Nanling wiped out the primary line of Zhuge Jin in Eastern Wu.
