邹氏 / Lady Zou (Wancheng)

邹氏 / Lady Zou (Wancheng) enters the wiki through Hanji 1012 as 张济’s widow and 张绣’s aunt by marriage. After Zhang Xiu surrenders to 曹操 at 宛城, Cao Cao takes Lady Zou into his household, making a new submission immediately feel like family humiliation.

Hanji 1013 narrates the same Wancheng figure through the transcript form “周氏.” This page treats that as a source-scoped naming variant and keeps the canonical page at the Zou form supplied by Hanji 1012. In both episodes, Lady Zou matters less as an independent biography than as the status and household trigger that makes Zhang Xiu read surrender as humiliation. When Cao Cao also rewards 胡车儿, the insult becomes a perceived security threat.
