秦丰 / Qin Feng (Eastern Han)

Overview

秦丰 / Qin Feng is synthesized as a Liqiu-based Eastern Han regional rival whose current evidence begins in Hanji 674 with county seizures and a self-styled Chu Li Wang title. Later source notes keep him in Liu Xiu’s multi-front eastern cleanup, as the defeated power whose collapse makes 田戎 consider surrender and whose final handling shows 刘秀 punishing Qin Feng while sparing Zhu Hu for accepting the surrender.

Current Profile

Hanji 674 supplies the current entry layer. Qin Feng is described as a Liqiu-based actor who takes several counties, styles himself Chu Li Wang, and commands a regional force before Liu Xiu has settled the eastern and southern field.

Hanji 689-1 and Hanji 691 keep Qin Feng inside the broader multi-front cleanup background. In those notes he is one among several surviving rivals rather than the main analytic target, but his presence matters because early Guangwu consolidation is not reducible to Chimei or Wei Xiao alone.

Hanji 690 makes Qin Feng important through Tian Rong. Tian Rong initially wants to submit after hearing Qin Feng has been defeated, but Xin Chen’s theft, defection, and letter contaminate the surrender channel. Tian Rong reverses course after divination, joins Qin Feng, and is defeated by Cen Peng.

Hanji 695 supplies the endpoint currently visible in the wiki. Liu Xiu’s eastern campaign handles Qin Feng’s surrender by killing Qin Feng while not punishing Zhu Hu for accepting the surrender and sending him to Luoyang. The page treats this as a boundary case: submission channels can be accepted while the rival claimant himself remains punishable.

Key Characteristics

• Liqiu-based regional rival whose title claim turns county seizures into a political challenge.
• One of the eastern and southern rivals that keep Guangwu consolidation multi-front after Chimei pressure.
• Defeated power whose collapse changes Tian Rong’s surrender calculation.
• Ally or rallying point for Tian Rong after trust and divination push Tian Rong away from submission.
• Surrender endpoint whose treatment separates accepting a channel from sparing the claimant.

Evidence

• Liqiu rise and title: Hanji 674 says Qin Feng takes counties around Liqiu and styles himself Chu Li Wang.
• Multi-front cleanup: Hanji 689-1 lists Qin Feng among the fronts Liu Xiu is still handling.
• Tian Rong’s surrender trigger: Hanji 690 says Tian Rong wants to submit after hearing Qin Feng has been defeated.
• Tian Rong’s reversal: Hanji 690 says Tian Rong later rebels, joins Qin Feng, loses to Cen Peng, and returns to Yiling.
• Later source-scoped presence: Hanji 691 keeps Qin Feng in the surrounding rival field.
• Surrender handling: Hanji 695 says Liu Xiu kills Qin Feng but does not punish Zhu Hu for accepting Qin Feng’s surrender and sending him to Luoyang.

Qualifications

This page is bounded to compact source-note evidence. Hanji 674 gives Qin Feng’s rise and title, but exact county names, Liqiu geography, and the internal structure of his regime remain source-scoped. Hanji 689-1 and Hanji 691 use him mainly as a multi-front reference. Hanji 690 shows his importance through Tian Rong’s decision environment, not through a direct Qin Feng biography. Hanji 695 gives the surrender endpoint but keeps Zhu Hu’s full role, Pang Meng, Dong Xian, Taocheng, and exact campaign sequence source-scoped.

What Changed

• Created a canonical Qin Feng page after Hanji 674 supplied his entry layer and later source notes supplied defeat and surrender consequences.
• Defined Qin Feng as a Liqiu regional claimant whose defeat affects Tian Rong and whose final handling clarifies Liu Xiu’s surrender boundary.

Relationships

• 光武帝刘秀 - consolidating ruler who ultimately kills Qin Feng after surrender handling.
• 田戎 - regional actor whose surrender reversal sends him back into Qin Feng’s side.
• 岑彭 - Han commander whose victory over Tian Rong follows Tian Rong’s renewed attachment to Qin Feng.
• 归降信任崩塌 - adjacent pattern because Qin Feng’s defeat creates Tian Rong’s surrender opening before Xin Chen contaminates the channel.
• 术数俘获式决策失控 - adjacent pattern because Tian Rong’s divination-driven reversal returns him to Qin Feng.
