吴匡 / Wu Kuang (late Han)

吴匡 / Wu Kuang (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 946 as a subordinate of 何进 outside the palace when the eunuch faction kills He Jin. Along with 张璋, he tries to lead troops into the palace after the gates are closed.

The episode makes Wu Kuang one of the main escalation actors after the murder. He joins 袁术 in the gate attack and then turns soldier resentment against 何苗, claiming He Miao is responsible for He Jin’s death. With 董旻, he kills He Miao, extending anti-eunuch revenge into He-family violence.

Wu Kuang therefore belongs to 宫廷政变暴力级联: the first killing does not produce stable retaliation but transfers accusation, fear, and violence to adjacent actors.
