长沙国 / Changsha Kingdom
长沙国 / Changsha Kingdom enters the wiki through Hanji 169 part 2 as the southern kingdom 刘邦 grants to 吴芮 after the Han accession. The source says Wu Rui had previously been Hengshan king and had led 百越 forces in the anti-Qin struggle, so the grant converts southern coalition service into a place inside the new 西汉 order.
This page is intentionally distinct from 长沙, the modern city page already present in the wiki. The Hanji 169 part 2 use is a founding-era royal polity, not the later fieldwork or modern urban entity.
The kingdom is part of a paired southern settlement. Wu Rui’s Changsha kingship recognizes one Baiyue-linked military ally, while 无诸 / Wuzhu’s 闽越 kingship recognizes a Yue-descended southeastern ally who had supported Liu Bang against 项羽 after being left unrewarded by Xiang Yu.
Hanji 189 gives Changsha Kingdom a role in the final removal of 英布 / 黥布. 吴臣, identified as Changsha king in this source, sends envoys who tell the fleeing Ying Bu that they can escape together toward 南越; Ying Bu trusts the route and is killed.
Key Claims
- Hanji 189 adds Changsha Kingdom as a southern-vassal channel in Ying Bu’s final failed escape.
- Changsha Kingdom is introduced as a Han founding settlement grant, not as a generic geographic reference to the modern city.
- Wu Rui’s title links southern military assistance to Liu Bang’s post-accession title distribution.
- The grant expands 战场胜利到建国秩序 beyond the northern Chu-Han contributors into southern and Yue/Baiyue-linked actors.
