叔孙无忌 / Shusun Wuji (late Han)

Overview

叔孙无忌 / Shusun Wuji is a Taishan-area bandit leader whose current wiki role now has two bounded layers. Hanji 851 uses his raids into Xu and Yan territory as the disorder pretext by which 单超 frames 第五种. Hanji 854 then makes him the local violence trigger whose killing of Hou Zhang brings a central response under 宗资 and 皇甫规.

Current Profile

Hanji 851 presents Shusun Wuji as opportunistic local disorder spilling into Xu and Yan. The offices there are too weak to suppress him, and Shan Chao converts the disorder into a vague accusation against Fifth Zhong after Fifth Zhong’s report against Shan Chao’s family network. In this layer, Shusun Wuji matters less as an independent insurgent than as the pretext that lets protected power punish an inspector.

Hanji 854 gives the more direct suppression layer. Shusun Wuji attacks Taishan, kills commandery duwei Hou Zhang, and is defeated after the court sends Zong Zi. The episode’s larger interest is state response quality: first suppression, then Huangfu Gui as a fitting pacification appointment.

Key Characteristics

• Taishan-area bandit leader whose disorder spills into Xu and Yan in Hanji 851.
• Pretext figure used by Shan Chao to frame Fifth Zhong after an anti-corruption report.
• Violence trigger whose later attack kills a commandery military official.
• Source-bounded antagonist whose importance lies in testing state and court response.

Evidence

• Xu and Yan disorder: Hanji 851 says Shusun Wuji raids Xu and Yan and local offices cannot suppress him.
• Retaliation pretext: Hanji 851 says Shan Chao uses Shusun Wuji’s disorder to accuse Fifth Zhong.
• Taishan attack: Hanji 854 names Shusun Wuji as the bandit leader who attacks Taishan.
• Killing of Hou Zhang: Hanji 854 says the attack kills commandery duwei Hou Zhang.
• Defeat by Zong Zi: Hanji 854 sends Zong Zi and records the defeat of Shusun Wuji’s force.

Qualifications

The current evidence does not describe Shusun Wuji’s background, aims, support base, or death. Hanji 851 and Hanji 854 may be sequential notices within the same unrest field, but this page does not infer a full campaign chronology beyond the source summaries. The transcript’s 淑孙吴继-like ASR form is normalized to 叔孙无忌 from the received Tongjian wording.

What Changed

• Hanji 851 adds Shusun Wuji as the disorder pretext in Shan Chao’s retaliation against Fifth Zhong.
• Hanji 854 remains the direct Taishan attack, Hou Zhang death, Zong Zi suppression, and Huangfu Gui appointment layer.
