王朗 / Wang Lang (late Han)
王朗 / Wang Lang (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 1004 and Hanji 1005 as the 会稽郡 governor whom 孙策 defeats before taking the commandery for himself. Hanji 1004 gives the campaign detail: Wang Lang rejects 虞翻’s advice to avoid Sun Ce’s edge, holds Guling, and is then outflanked after 孙静 proposes a rear attack.
His defeated office still matters because Sun Ce later retains Yu Fan, Wang Lang’s merit officer. That retention lets the episode sequence show Sun Ce’s capacity to absorb local personnel before turning to the different problem Yu Fan identifies in Hanji 1005: the new ruler’s personal-security habits do not match his expanded status.
