刘濞 / Liu Bi (King of Wu)

刘濞 / Liu Bi enters the wiki through Hanji 189 as 刘邦’s nephew, the son of 刘喜. After 英布 / 黥布’s defeat, Liu Bang changes 荆国 into early Han Wu Kingdom and makes Liu Bi king of Wu over three commanderies and fifty-three counties.

The episode does not yet narrate Liu Bi’s later career. His immediate role is institutional: Liu Bang is still converting exposed southern and eastern territory into Liu-family royal assignments after removing dangerous or defeated vassal branches.
