刘虞 / Liu Yu (Late Han)

刘虞 / Liu Yu (Late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 998 as the Youzhou authority whom 公孙瓒 has already killed, along with his family. The episode uses Liu Yu mostly through aftermath: his death creates a revenge and legitimacy center that Gongsun Zan’s coercive rule cannot extinguish.

Liu Yu’s old staff and supporters, especially 鲜于辅, gather forces to avenge him. His son 刘和 becomes a banner around which 乌桓, 鲜卑, and 袁绍-aligned forces can coordinate against Gongsun Zan.
