Biography
许远，杭州盐官人。
旧唐书卷一百八十七下 列传第一百三十七：
许远者，杭州盐官人也。世仕江右。曾祖高阳公敬宗，龙朔中宰相，自有传。远清干，初从军河西，为碛西支度判官。章仇兼琼镇剑南，又辟为从事。慕其门，欲以子妻之。远辞，兼琼怒，积他事中伤，贬为高要尉。后遇赦得还。
禄山之乱，不次拔将帅，或荐远素练戎事。玄宗召见，拜睢阳太守，累加侍御史、本州防御使。及贼将尹子奇攻围，远与张巡、姚摐婴城拒守经年，外救不至，兵粮俱尽而城陷。尹子奇执送洛阳，与哥舒翰、程千里，俱囚之客省。及安庆绪败，渡河北走，使严庄皆害之。
初，贺兰进明与房琯素不相叶。及琯为宰相，进明时为御史大夫。琯奏用进明为彭城太守、河南节度使、兼御史大夫，代嗣虢王巨；复用灵昌太守许叔冀为进明都知兵马、兼御史大夫，重其官以挫进明。虢王巨受代之时，尽将部曲而行，所留者拣退羸兵数千人、劣马数百匹，不堪扞贼。叔冀恃部下精锐，又名位等于进明，自谓匹敌，不受进明节制。故南霁云之乞师，进明不敢分兵，惧叔冀见袭。两相观望，坐视危亡，致河南郡邑为墟，由执政之乖经制也。
