张允 / Zhang Yun (Late Han)

Overview

张允 / Zhang Yun (Late Han) is a Jingzhou official whom Hanji 1092 places with 蔡瑁 in the succession coalition that blocks 刘琦 from the dying 刘表 and supports 刘琮.

Current Profile

The episode gives Zhang Yun a narrow but consequential role. He helps prevent a final Liu Biao-Liu Qi meeting that might change the succession, then participates in the elite environment surrounding Liu Cong’s accession and surrender. The page does not infer a fuller biography beyond that source-bounded role.

Key Characteristics

• Member of Liu Biao’s late Jingzhou court circle.
• Acts with Cai Mao to control access during the succession crisis.
• Supports the political transition from Liu Biao to Liu Cong.
• Appears within an elite coalition that prefers capitulation to military risk.

Evidence

• Access control: Hanji 1092 says Zhang Yun and Cai Mao prevent Liu Qi from visiting Liu Biao.
• Succession role: Hanji 1092 places Zhang Yun inside the coalition that installs Liu Cong.

Qualifications

The current evidence is limited to the succession-and-surrender narrative. It does not establish Zhang Yun’s complete offices, kinship network, independent policy position, later career, or the exact degree of personal agency relative to Cai Mao and other Jingzhou elites.

What Changed

• Created the page from Hanji 1092’s Liu Biao succession account.
