武涉 / Wu She
武涉 / Wu She enters the wiki through Hanji 165-1 as 项羽’s persuader after 龙且 dies at 潍水之战. Xiang Yu sends him to 临淄 because 韩信’s control of 齐国 has made Han Xin the actor who can decide the Chu-Han war.
Wu She’s argument has two layers. First, he tells Han Xin that 刘邦 is greedy, covenant-breaking, and likely to swallow other kings after defeating Chu. Second, he reframes Han Xin’s safety as dependent on Xiang Yu’s continued existence: if Chu disappears, Han Xin’s autonomous Qi power becomes Liu Bang’s next problem.
The source uses Wu She to introduce 三分天下式制衡. Han Xin can tilt west and make Liu Bang win, tilt east and keep Xiang Yu alive, or preserve Qi as a third pole. Wu She fails because Han Xin answers from gratitude and remembered treatment: Xiang Yu ignored him, while Liu Bang trusted and promoted him.
