赵序 / Zhao Xu (late Han)

Overview

赵序 / Zhao Xu is a 145 CE late-Han military official attached to the Xu-Yang anti-bandit campaign. His profile combines appointment to assist 冯绲 with later execution for cowardice and inflated kill reporting.

Current Profile

Zhao Xu appears when 梁妠 seeks commanders for unrest in Xu and Yang provinces. He is appointed zhonglang jiang to assist Feng Gun while 滕抚 is placed over the Jiujiang commandery branch.

His later end is negative. After Xianbei and southeast unrest continue, Zhao Xu is punished because the source says he behaved fearfully and falsely enlarged his reported victories. He therefore shows the punishment side of anti-bandit and frontier accountability.

Key Characteristics

• Campaign assistant assigned to support Feng Gun in Xu-Yang suppression.
• Military official operating beside Teng Fu’s reward-backed campaign structure.
• Negative accountability case for cowardice during continued disorder.
• False-reporting case where inflated enemy-kill claims become punishable.

Evidence

• Campaign appointment: Hanji 826 says Zhao Xu is made zhonglang jiang and sent to assist Feng Gun.
• Campaign context: Hanji 826 places Zhao Xu in the same Xu-Yang unrest field where Teng Fu uses rewards and local mobilization.
• Punishment: Hanji 826 says Zhao Xu is executed after fearfulness and false merit reporting.

Qualifications

The profile is source-scoped to Hanji 826. The note does not yet provide Zhao Xu’s earlier offices, family identity, exact legal process, or independent details on the campaign reports.

What Changed

• Created Zhao Xu’s page as a bounded 145 CE campaign and punishment case.
• Normalized the transcript form 赵旭 to the received Tongjian form 赵序.

Relationships

• 冯绲 - superior or adjacent commander whom Zhao Xu is sent to assist.
• 滕抚 - parallel campaign actor in the same Xu-Yang anti-bandit field.
• 赏募动员式平乱 - campaign model that surrounds Zhao Xu’s appointment and later accountability.
• 军费贪腐与战力空转 - contrasting integrity problem because Zhao Xu’s false reports show military information failure after the war-finance corruption layer.
