王肱 / Wang Gong (late Han)

王肱 / Wang Gong (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 957 as the 东郡 administrator who cannot withstand the attack by 于毒, 白绕, 眭固, and their large armed following.

The source uses Wang Gong mainly to explain the office opening for 曹操. Once Wang Gong cannot hold Dong Commandery, Cao Cao enters the field, defeats Bai Rao near 濮阳, and is then recommended by 袁绍 for Wang Gong’s commandery position.
