河内郡 / Henei Commandery

河内郡 / Henei Commandery enters this wiki as a named page through Hanji 149 part 2, where 刘邦 captures 司马卬 and sets the newly occupied territory as Henei Commandery.

The region had already appeared in scattered source context as a strategically important Yellow River-adjacent area. In this episode its function is direct: once Liu Bang crosses from Linjin and takes Henei, he has broken another line that 项羽’s settlement had depended on to contain him.

The page remains source-scoped rather than a full geography. It now records Henei across a Chu-Han commandery conversion and several later route, personnel, and mobilization uses.

Hanji 150 part 2 adds a personnel layer to the same region. The episode places 刘邦’s camp at 修武, where 陈平 arrives after crossing the Yellow River and is introduced through 魏无知. Henei is therefore not only territory Liu Bang absorbs; it is also a receiving zone for mobile talent.

Hanji 932 adds an earlier late-Han personal-route use. 司马直 is identified as a Henei man, and his forced movement toward 巨鹿郡 reaches Mengjin before he writes a death memorial against 修宫钱转嫁盘剥.

Hanji 968 adds a late-Han use of Henei as the route corridor 曹操 needs to contact the 汉献帝 court after adopting 毛玠’s legitimacy strategy. 张杨 controls the passage and initially refuses, but 董昭 persuades him to allow the envoy through and recommend Cao Cao.

Hanji 945 backfills an earlier late-Han Henei pressure role. 何进 orders 丁原 into Henei as part of the anti-eunuch mobilization around 洛阳, making the commandery part of 外兵入京升级风险 before the later Dong Zhuo and emperor-route branches.
