韩胤 / Han Yin (late Han)

韩胤 / Han Yin enters the wiki through Hanji 1016 as 袁术’s envoy to 吕布. He tells Lü Bu that Yuan Shu has claimed imperial status and proposes a marriage between Yuan Shu’s eldest son and Lü Bu’s daughter.

Han Yin’s mission initially works: Lü Bu agrees and sends his daughter with him toward Yuan Shu’s side. After 陈珪 persuades Lü Bu that the marriage would expose 徐州 and attach Lü Bu to an unjust camp, Lü Bu recalls his daughter, cancels the alliance, and sends Han Yin to 曹操’s court. The source says Han Yin is executed and displayed in the market, making him an envoy caught between marriage diplomacy, factional reversal, and anti-usurpation punishment.
