Man Chong (pronunciationⓘ) (before 175[2] - April or May 242),[1][a] courtesy name Boning, was a Chinese military general and politician of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He previously served under the warlord Cao Cao during the late Eastern Han dynasty. He is best known for defending the city of Hefei from a series of invasions by Wei's rival state, Eastern Wu, between 230 and 235.[3]

  2. ^ According to the chronology of Man Chong's biography in Records of the Three Kingdoms, he was older than 17 when he was recruited by Cao Cao during Cao's tenure as Governor of Yan Province between 191 and 192. By calculation, his birth year must be before 175.
