陈恢 / Chen Hui (Nanyang)
陈恢 / Chen Hui enters the wiki through Qinji 136 as a retainer of the 南阳郡 governor at 宛县. The transcript writes the name as “陈辉”; this page uses 陈恢 as the canonical historical form and keeps the variant source-scoped.
When Wan is surrounded, the Nanyang governor prepares to kill himself. Chen Hui stops him and asks to negotiate with 刘邦, then frames the issue through Liu Bang’s own incentive: under 怀王之约, Liu Bang needs to reach 关中 quickly and cannot afford a costly siege or a strong enemy left in the rear.
Chen Hui’s proposal lets both sides claim a gain. Liu Bang accepts surrender, rewards the governor with a marquis title, gives Chen Hui a thousand-household fief, and continues west with a safer rear. The source treats this as the moment when Liu Bang begins to govern Qin people as future subjects rather than merely punish them as enemies.
