Gao Shun
Gao Shun ( Chinese 高 順 / 高 顺 , Pinyin Gāo Shùn ; * in the 2nd century ; † 198 ) was a general of the warlord Lü Bu at the time of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China. Because of his ability to take enemy camps very quickly, he was also known as the Panzerknacker ( 陷 陣營 ).
In AD 198, Gao Shun was ordered to take Xiaopei City with Cao Xing . Warlord Cao Cao sent General Xiahou Dun to assist the city. At first Gao Shun was defeated in a direct duel with Xiahou Dun, but was able to flee. Cao Xing shot Xiahou Dun an arrow in his left eye when he started the pursuit. In the end, Gao Shun managed to win the battle and drive away the enemy general.
In the same year, the allied troops Liu Beis and Cao Caos attacked Xiapi , where Lü Bu resided. After Liu Bei and Cao Cao won and the city fell, Gao Shun was caught. He did not resist and was beheaded.
