旣臨二州十餘年，政惠著聞，其所禮辟扶風龐延、天水楊阜、安定胡遵、酒泉龐淯、燉煌張恭、周生烈等，終皆有名位。〈《魏略》曰：初，旣為郡小吏，功曹徐英嘗自鞭旣三十。英字伯濟，馮翊著姓，建安初為蒲阪令。英性剛爽，自見族氏勝旣，於鄉里名行在前，加以前辱旣，雖知旣貴顯，終不肯求於旣。旣雖得志，亦不顧計本原，猶欲與英和。嘗因醉欲親狎英，英故抗意不納。英由此遂不復進用。故時人善旣不挾舊怨，而壯英之不撓。〉黃初四年薨。詔曰：「昔荀桓子立勳翟土，晉侯賞以千室之邑；馮異輸力漢朝，光武封其二子。故涼州刺史張旣，能容民畜衆，使羣羌歸土，可謂國之良臣。不幸薨隕，朕甚愍之，其賜小子翁歸爵關內侯。」明帝即位，追謚曰肅侯。子緝嗣。

先是，河右擾亂，隔絕不通，敦煌太守馬艾卒官，府又無丞。功曹張恭素有學行，郡人推行長史事，恩信甚著，乃遣子就東詣太祖，請太守。時酒泉黃華、張掖張進各據其郡，欲與恭（艾）並勢。就至酒泉，為華所拘執，劫以白刃。就終不回，私與恭疏曰：「大人率厲敦煌，忠義顯然，豈以就在困危之中而替之哉？昔樂羊食子，李通覆家，經國之臣，寧懷妻孥邪？今大軍垂至，但當促兵以掎之耳；原不以下流之愛，使就有恨於黃壤也。」恭即遣從弟華攻酒泉沙頭、乾齊二縣。恭又連兵尋繼華後，以為首尾之援。別遣鐵騎二百，迎吏官屬，東緣酒泉北塞，徑出張掖北河，逢迎太守尹奉。於是張進須黃華之助；華欲救進，西顧恭兵，恐急擊其後，遂詣金城太守蘇則降。就竟平安。奉得之官。

Zhang Gong was a registrar in Dunhuang under Cao Wei. When the region west of the Yellow River was in turmoil, the commandery’s people chose him to serve as acting chief clerk. He does not appear in the Romance.
Deeds
When the region west of the Yellow River was in turmoil, the Dunhuang administrator Ma Ai died in office, and the administrative office had no assistant. Zhang Gong, serving as registrar, acted as chief clerk and earned considerable trust and respect. He also sent his son, Zhang Jiu, east to request an administrator. (Recorded in the historical sources)
After Zhang Jiu was seized by Huang Hua in Jiuquan, Zhang Gong sent his younger cousin Zhang Hua to attack the two counties of Shatou and Ganqi in Jiuquan, while he himself raised troops to support the operation. (Recorded in the historical sources)
He also dispatched two hundred armored cavalry to escort the officials. They traveled east along Jiuquan’s northern frontier and, via the northern river of Zhangye, escorted the administrator, Yin Feng. Wary of Zhang Gong’s forces, Huang Hua surrendered to Su Ze; Zhang Jiu remained safe, and Yin Feng was able to take up his post. (Recorded in the historical sources)
