雍齿 / Yong Chi
雍齿 / Yong Chi enters the wiki through Qinji 129-4 as the man 刘邦 leaves to hold 丰邑 / 丰县 during his early anti-Qin expansion. The episode says Yong Chi has followed Liu Bang but has never respected him as a superior.
When 周市’s Wei-side force sends people to recruit him, Yong Chi uses Liu Bang’s absence to hand Feng over. Liu Bang returns, attacks Feng, and fails to retake it, making Yong Chi’s defection an early example of Liu Bang’s vulnerability before his later state-founding network becomes secure.
The page keeps the episode’s explanation source-scoped. Yong Chi’s betrayal is not treated as random opportunism alone; the source connects it to status disdain, local military exposure, and the separate-state pull created by 反秦阵营诸侯化分裂.
Qinji 130-2 gives the immediate reversal. After 项梁 grants Liu Bang five thousand men and ten fifth-rank commanders, Liu Bang attacks 丰邑 / 丰县 again and finally succeeds. Yong Chi flees to Wei, turning the earlier betrayal into a temporary but serious setback rather than a permanent loss.
Hanji 174 part 2 returns to Yong Chi after Liu Bang has become emperor. The source transcript writes the name as “庸耻,” but the described old hatred and Shifang marquis reward point to the same figure. 张良 advises 刘邦 to enfeoff Yong Chi first precisely because Liu Bang hates him; once other generals see even Yong Chi rewarded for merit, their fear of being forgotten or punished can subside.
Hanji 188 shows the old Feng betrayal still alive in Liu Bang’s memory. When 沛县 elders ask him to exempt 丰邑 / 丰县 from taxes and corvee like Pei, Liu Bang hesitates because Feng once followed Yong Chi’s defection. The request succeeds only after ministers argue that Yong Chi has already been made Shifang marquis, so the prior 仇敌受封安众 now supports a broader hometown reconciliation.
