陆康 / Lu Kang (late Han)

陆康 / Lu Kang (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 983 as the 庐江郡 administrator who refuses 袁术’s demand for thirty thousand hu of grain. The source explains his refusal through several layers: Lu Kang is tied to the Wu commandery Lu clan, remains a Han official, faces a huge extraction demand, and judges Yuan Shu’s conduct and reputation as illegitimate.

Lu Kang is also the trigger for 孙策’s second broken-promise grievance. Yuan Shu sends Sun Ce to attack Lujiang and promises the commandery if Sun Ce succeeds. After Sun Ce captures it, Yuan Shu appoints 刘勋 instead, turning Lu Kang’s resistance and Sun Ce’s victory into a major case of 承诺信用与人才流失.
