吕泽 / Lu Ze

吕泽 / Lu Ze enters the wiki through Hanji 152 part 2 as 吕雉’s brother and a 刘邦-side military actor after the 彭城之战. The episode says Lu Ze is leading troops at 下邑 when Liu Bang reaches him after the rout.

The source role is a recovery point rather than a full biography. Liu Bang’s main coalition has just collapsed, his family has been captured, and many lords are shifting toward 项羽, but Lu Ze’s force gives Liu Bang a place to gather scattered soldiers and continue the campaign.

Hanji 153 keeps Lu Ze in the background as the Xiayi recovery context while shifting the focus to 张良’s 下邑画策. Lu Ze’s troops make the pause possible; the episode then asks how Liu Bang can turn that pause into renewed anti-Chu strategy.

Lu Ze therefore extends the Lu-family branch beyond marriage and later regency. In this source, the Lu family is simultaneously exposed through Lu Zhi’s capture and useful through Lu Ze’s field force.
