刘贾 / Liu Jia
刘贾 / Liu Jia enters the wiki through Hanji 155-2 as one of the Han-side figures 刘邦 sends to support 彭越. The source places this after Liu Bang repeatedly draws elite troops away from 韩信, limiting Han Xin’s ability to carry out the full plan of cutting 项羽’s grain route from the north.
Liu Jia’s role in this ingest is therefore a support node inside the later multi-front anti-Chu design. The episode does not develop his biography, so the page records only his function as part of the delegated grain-line pressure with 卢绾 and Peng Yue.
Hanji 162-3 gives that support a concrete payoff. Liu Bang sends Liu Jia and Lu Wan south of the Yellow River with infantry and cavalry to assist Peng Yue; the reinforced pressure helps Peng Yue take Suiyang, Waihuang, and other cities and forces 项羽 to leave 成皋 again.
Hanji 167 moves Liu Jia from Peng Yue support into the Huainan collapse that precedes 垓下之战. He crosses the Huai River, surrounds Shouchun, and sends people to induce 周殷 to surrender, turning a Chu-side trusted figure into part of the final pressure on Xiang Yu.
Hanji 169 keeps Liu Jia in cleanup operations after Xiang Yu’s death. He is paired with 卢绾 in the attack on 共尉 at Jiangling, where remaining Linjiang resistance has to be folded into 刘邦’s founding settlement.
Hanji 174 converts Liu Jia from military-support figure into same-surname king. Liu Bang assigns him 荆国, formed from the Huai River southeast counties of Han Xin’s former Chu kingdom. His page therefore now belongs to both the final anti-Chu operations and the Liu-family territorial settlement that follows Han Xin’s demotion.
