Gong Du fled after his forces scattered following Ou Xing's execution, and joined the Yellow Turbans in AD 193. He served under Guan Hai and He Yi when they rebelled in Xu and Yan Provinces, but fled to Liu Bei after both were killed. At Runan in AD 200, he defended Liu Bei as he retreated alongside fellow Yellow Turban commander Liu Pi. He led a grain shipment to Liu Bei, which he had stolen from Cao Cao's pursuing army. Both Liu Pi and Gong Du were slain in the battle, Gong Du hit by an arrow in the chest fired by Xiahou Yuan.
