陶丘洪 / Taoqiu Hong (late Han)

陶丘洪 / Taoqiu Hong (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 941 as a possible recruit into 王芬’s failed coup. After 曹操 refuses Wang Fen, the plot is brought to 华歆 and Taoqiu Hong.

Taoqiu Hong initially wants to participate, but Hua Xin persuades him not to join. His source role is therefore the counterexample to Wang Fen’s rush: he is close enough to danger to be tempted, but still removable from the plot by a better risk reading.
