景驹 / Jing Ju
景驹 / Jing Ju enters the wiki through Qinji 129-4. The supplied transcript writes the name as 景居; this page uses the historical 景驹 form while preserving the source’s display wording where needed.
After 陈胜’s collapse, Ning Jun and 秦嘉 set up Jing Ju as a provisional Chu king and prepare to attack Qin forces near Dingtao. This makes him one of the post-Zhang Chu claimants trying to inherit the anti-Qin Chu banner.
Jing Ju’s source role is mostly connective. 公孙庆 is sent to 齐国 to seek coordination, but 田儋 rejects the move on status grounds and kills the envoy. 刘邦 and 张良 are also both initially moving toward Jing Ju before Zhang Liang changes course and joins Liu Bang.
Qinji 130-1 shows Jing Ju as a real but limited shelter for Liu Bang’s next step. He is stationed at Liu County, and Liu Bang plus Zhang Liang formally become his subordinates while Liu Bang wants help recovering 丰邑 / 丰县. The episode keeps Jing Ju as a claimant whose banner can attract forces, but not as the commander who solves Liu Bang’s immediate problem.
Qinji 130-2 closes Jing Ju’s claimant branch. 项梁 attacks his legitimacy by presenting 秦嘉 as a follower who betrayed 陈胜 by installing another king. After Qin Jia is defeated and killed, Jing Ju flees and later dies in Wei. The source therefore turns Jing Ju from a possible shelter into a failed Chu claimant absorbed or eliminated by Xiang Liang’s consolidation.
