钟离眜 / Zhongli Mo
钟离眜 / Zhongli Mo enters the wiki through Hanji 160 part 1 as one of the few upright, loyal figures 陈平 says remain close to 项羽. The episode groups him with 范增, 龙且, and 周殷 as the trusted Chu core that Han must alienate rather than defeat only by open attack.
The source makes Zhongli Mo the first named target of Chen Ping’s 反间流言楔入. Chen Ping’s agents spread the claim that Zhongli Mo has long commanded for Xiang Yu and made great contributions without receiving a kingship, so he and other Chu generals want to join 刘邦, destroy the Xiang clan, divide the land, and become kings themselves. Xiang Yu does not immediately kill him in the episode, but the source says trust is damaged.
Hanji 160 part 2 broadens Zhongli Mo’s significance from first rumor target to member of the old Chu merit-command side of 项羽阵营派系裂缝. The episode groups him with Fan Zeng, 陈婴, 龙且, and 周殷 as people whose competence keeps Chu dangerous but whose non-kin status makes them vulnerable once Xiang Yu’s suspicion is activated.
