Han Xuan was a minor warlord and the Administrator (太守) of Changsha (長沙) commandery during the late Han Dynasty. He served under Liu Biao, governor of Jing Province, for three years. After Liu Biao's death, the northern part of Jing Province was divided between two of Liu Biao's sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong. The southern portion was divided between four Administrators, Zhao Fan, Jin Xuan, Liu Du and Han Xuan. Eventually, Changsha became an independent region under Han Xuan, and his land remained undisturbed by the other warlords for two years. Then in 210, Liu Bei invaded Jing Province, capturing all the lands from their leaders.
