陈纪 / Chen Ji (late Han)

Hanji 949 adds an earlier Dong Zhuo recruitment layer for Chen Ji. The source names him among respected figures drawn into office, appointing him wuguan zhonglangjiang alongside 荀爽 and 韩融.

This page keeps the figure on the existing late-Han Chen Ji route unless a later source requires a split. In Hanji 949, his value is not the later Jiujiang appointment but the scholar prestige 董卓 tries to attach to coercive rule, making him part of 胁迫征士合法性.

陈纪 / Chen Ji (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 983 as the person 袁术 appoints to 九江郡 after previously promising that office to 孙策. The source names Chen Ji to make Yuan Shu’s first broken promise concrete.

Chen Ji’s page should stay distinct from other people named Chen Ji in the wiki. In this source he is not analyzed independently; his role is the appointment beneficiary whose selection shows how Yuan Shu’s short-term control over offices damages long-term trust with Sun Ce.

Hanji 1026 adds a later surrender-settlement layer. Chen Ji and his son 陈群 are in 吕布’s army when 曹操 takes 下邳, and the episode says Cao treats them with courtesy. Their role is not battlefield command but elite-family incorporation after Lü Bu’s collapse.
