田斑 / Tian Ban

田斑 / Tian Ban appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》29丨苏秦励志爽文：知识改变命运 inside 张丑’s argument to 楚威王. Zhang Chou warns that if 田婴 is expelled from 齐国, Tian Ban or a similar replacement may regain influence and strengthen Qi’s military response against Chu.

The page is source-scoped. Tian Ban’s role is not biographical here; he is the counterfactual replacement who makes keeping Tian Ying in office look better from Chu’s perspective.
