侯昶 / Hou Chang

侯昶 / Hou Chang enters the wiki through Hanji 182 part 2 as a commander on the rebel side of 陈豨之乱. The episode places him among the commanders whose movement forces Han suppression into several pursuit tracks.

After 刘邦 defeats the main rebel force and rebel leadership scatters, Hou Chang moves toward 曲逆 with the 王黄 branch. 灌婴 pursues, defeats him at Quni, and kills Hou Chang along with several senior commanders.

Hou Chang’s page is useful because it marks the moment when rebel dispersion stops being resilience and becomes vulnerability. Once Guan Ying closes this branch, Han forces recover Quni and nearby Zhao-region positions.
