吴子兰 / Wu Zilan (late Han)

Overview

吴子兰 / Wu Zilan enters the wiki through Hanji 1040 as a conspirator in the anti-曹操 circle associated with 董承.

Current Profile

The page records a source-scoped execution-list role. Wu Zilan matters here because the plot’s exposure shows the danger of remaining inside Cao Cao’s court after the 衣带诏 conspiracy, especially once 刘备 has already escaped into renewed regional force.

Key Characteristics

• Anti-Cao conspirator linked to the Dong Cheng plot.
• Executed after the plot leaks in early 200.
• Appears beside Wang Fu and Zhong Ji in the plot aftermath.
• Recorded with source-scoped name uncertainty because the transcript gives “吴子澜.”

Evidence

• Conspirator role: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》1040丨乱世英雄，曹操为何独独看好刘备？ names the figure rendered as “吴子澜” in the anti-Cao circle.
• Execution aftermath: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》1040丨乱世英雄，曹操为何独独看好刘备？ places him among those punished after Cao Cao uncovers the conspiracy.
• Contrast with Liu Bei: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》1040丨乱世英雄，曹操为何独独看好刘备？ ends by noting that Liu Bei was also involved but is now outside Cao Cao’s immediate reach.

Qualifications

The source’s name form is preserved as an ASR/transcript caution. Later source notes may require renaming or splitting this page if the wiki receives stronger evidence.
