吴芮 / Wu Rui

吴芮 / Wu Rui enters the wiki through Qinji 129-4 as the Panyang magistrate with strong local reputation, called Lord Pan in the episode. His source role is to convert 英布 / 黥布 from a convict-bandit military leader into an allied anti-Qin commander with local-elite backing.

When Ying Bu arrives with several thousand followers, Wu Rui marries his daughter to him and orders him to attack Qin. The episode presents the marriage as a political and military alliance: Wu Rui supplies legitimacy and local connection; Ying Bu supplies armed men and battlefield mobility.

The source notes that both Wu Rui and Ying Bu survive the broader turmoil. This page records that as a signal that their alliance is not only dramatic but also politically durable within the episode’s compressed account.
