卜阳 / Bu Yang (late Han)

Overview

卜阳 / Bu Yang enters the wiki through Hanji 863 as a 桂阳郡 bandit leader whose accumulated wealth and mountain refuge become the target of 度尚 / 杜尚’s 164 CE campaign.

Current Profile

Bu Yang is not developed as a full biography. The source presents him together with 潘鸿 as a persistent local threat: they plunder, hide in deep mountain terrain, and remain dangerous after Du Shang has already won earlier victories and captured large amounts of treasure.

His wiki significance is relational. Du Shang uses the soldiers’ lost spoils to make Bu Yang’s remaining wealth emotionally salient, then launches a dawn attack while the stronghold is unprepared. Bu Yang therefore helps ground 战利品损失动员 as a case where enemy wealth becomes both objective reward and psychological trigger.

Key Characteristics

• Guiyang bandit leader paired with 潘鸿 in the 164 CE campaign.
• Mountain-refuge opponent whose terrain initially makes pursuit difficult.
• Accumulated-wealth target whose remaining treasure is used to remobilize Du Shang’s troops.
• Defeated opponent in Du Shang’s dawn assault after the camp-fire shock.

Evidence

• Identity and place: Hanji 863 identifies Bu Yang as a Guiyang bandit leader.
• Mountain refuge: Hanji 863 says Bu Yang and Pan Hong plunder and then retreat deep into the mountains.
• Motivation target: Hanji 863 has Du Shang tell the soldiers that Bu Yang and the others still possess much more wealth after the captured spoils burn.
• Defeat: Hanji 863 reports that Du Shang’s dawn attack overwhelms the unprepared stronghold.
