xue zong -lrb- died 243 -rrb- , courtesy name jingwen , was an official of the state of eastern wu during the three kingdoms period .
he was known for his quick wit .
on one occasion , when the shu han envoy zhang feng -lrb- 張奉 -rrb- made fun of the name of his colleague kan ze during a feast , he gained somewhat of a measure of revenge by making fun of shu han 's name .
he was also known for assisting lü dai in the pacification of jiaozhi -lrb- modern western guangdong , southwestern guangxi , and northern vietnam -rrb- .
in 233 , when sun quan considered an ill-advised campaign to liaodong peninsula against the recalcitrant gongsun yuan -lrb- who had submitted to him and then betrayed him and killed his envoys -rrb- , xue zong was one of the officials who spoke against the campaign , eventually getting sun quan to change his mind .
xue zong had two sons : xue ying and xue xu .
