Gong Du was a bandit from Runan. Historical sources record that he supported Liu Bei, but the novel does not mention him.

Deeds

In the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei led troops to attack Runan, and Gong Du and others responded to him. Cao Cao sent Cai Yang to attack Gong Du, but Cai Yang fared poorly in battle and was defeated by Gong Du (according to historical records).
After Cao Cao campaigned south against Liu Bei, Liu Bei fled to Liu Biao, and Gong Du and the others soon dispersed (according to historical records).
