陈琳 / Chen Lin (Late Han)

陈琳 / Chen Lin (Late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 996 as the persuasion channel 袁绍 uses against 臧洪. After Zang Hong refuses Yuan Shao over the failed rescue of 张超, Yuan Shao asks Chen Lin to write a letter analyzing the costs of continued resistance.

The page is source-scoped. Hanji 996 does not develop Chen Lin’s wider literary or political career; it uses him as a writer whose letter makes the conflict explicit. Zang Hong’s reply acknowledges Yuan Shao’s earlier regard for him, but insists that current favor cannot erase the duty owed to an old superior and the destruction of Zhang Chao’s family by 曹操.
