屈匄 / Qu Gai

屈匄 / Qu Gai appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》51丨 楚怀王:秦小儿看舅舅如何灭了你! as the 楚国 commander captured after 楚怀王 attacks 秦国 from anger over 张仪’s promise reversal. The source says Qin captures him at 丹阳之战 along with many senior Chu nobles.

Qu Gai’s page is source-scoped. The episode does not develop him as an independent strategist; his significance is that his capture makes the cost of 因怒兴师 concrete at the command level, not only as abstract loss of face or territory.
