龐淯字子異,酒泉表氏人也。初以涼州從事守破羌長,會武威太守張猛反,殺刺史邯鄲商,猛令曰:「敢有臨商喪,死不赦。」淯聞之,棄官,晝夜奔走,號哭喪所訖,詣猛門,衷匕首,欲因見以殺猛。猛知其義士,敕遣不殺,由是以忠烈聞。〈《魏略》曰:猛兵欲來縛淯,猛聞之,嘆曰:「猛以殺刺史為罪。此人以至忠為名,如又殺之,何以勸一州履義之士邪!」遂使行服。《典略》曰:張猛字叔威,本敦煌人也。猛父奐,桓帝時仕歷郡守、中郎將、太常,遂居華陰,終因葬焉。建安初,猛仕郡為功曹,是時河西四郡以去涼州治遠,隔以河寇,上書求別置州。詔以陳留人邯鄲商為雍州刺史,別典四郡。時武威太守缺,詔又以猛父昔在河西有威名,乃以猛補之。商、猛俱西。初,猛與商同歲,每相戲侮,及共之官,行道更相責望。暨到,商欲誅猛。猛覺之,遂勒兵攻商。商治舍與猛側近,商聞兵至,恐怖登屋,呼猛字曰:「叔威,汝欲殺我耶?然我死者有知,汝亦族矣。請和解,尚可乎?」猛因呼曰:「來。」商踰屋就猛,猛因責數之,語畢,以商屬督郵。督郵錄商,閉置傳舍。後商欲逃,事覺,遂殺之。是歲建安十四年也。至十五年,將軍韓遂自上討猛,猛發兵遣軍東拒。其吏民畏遂,乃反共攻猛。初奐為武威太守時,猛方在孕。母夢帶奐印綬,登樓而歌,旦以告奐。奐訊占夢者,曰:「夫人方生男,後當復臨此郡,其必死官乎!」及猛被攻,自知必死,曰:「使死者無知則已矣,若有知,豈使吾頭東過華陰曆先君之墓乎?」乃登樓自燒而死。〉太守徐揖請為主簿。後郡人黃昂反,圍城。淯棄妻子,夜逾城出圍,告急於張掖、敦煌二郡。初疑未肯發兵,淯欲伏劍,二郡感其義,遂為興兵。軍未至而郡城邑已陷,揖死。淯乃收斂揖喪,送還本郡,行服三年乃還。太祖聞之,辟為掾屬。文帝踐阼,拜駙馬都尉,遷西海太守,賜爵關內侯。後徵拜中散大夫,薨。子曾嗣。

Handan Shang was the Inspector of Liang Province, appointed by imperial edict to serve in the four commanderies west of the Yellow River. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms does not mention him.
Deeds
Handan Shang and Zhang Meng traveled together to take up their posts west of the Yellow River. Later, because of an old grudge between them, Zhang Meng raised troops against Shang. Shang climbed onto a roof to sue for peace, after which Zhang Meng handed him over to the post inspector and had him imprisoned. Shang was killed when his attempt to escape was exposed. This took place in the fourteenth year of Jian'an (as recorded in historical sources).
