赵韪 / Zhao Wei (late Han)

赵韪 / Zhao Wei enters the wiki through Hanji 981 as one of the senior 益州 officials who support 刘璋 after 刘焉 dies. The episode names him among the provincial figures who prefer Liu Zhang’s mildness and petition for his appointment.

After Liu Zhang is recognized, Zhao Wei is appointed expeditionary general of the east and sent against 刘表, with the army stationed near Quren. In the source, this makes Zhao Wei part of the early operating layer of Liu Zhang’s regime rather than only a succession broker.
