周殷 / Zhou Yin

周殷 / Zhou Yin enters the wiki through Hanji 160 part 1 as one of the few Chu-side figures 陈平 describes as genuinely loyal and unbending around 项羽. The episode does not narrate an independent Zhou Yin action; his role is structural, marking the small trusted core that makes Xiang Yu’s camp still dangerous despite wider reward grievances.

For this source, Zhou Yin matters because he helps define the target surface of Chen Ping’s 反间流言楔入. If Xiang Yu can be made to distrust even figures like 范增, 钟离眜, 龙且, and Zhou Yin, Han can weaken Chu cohesion before the next open military move.

Hanji 160 part 2 adds that Zhou Yin belongs to the old Chu merit-command side of 项羽阵营派系裂缝. The page remains source-scoped because the episode still gives him no independent action; his value is as a marker of the non-kin military-adviser group whose cohesion Chen Ping wants to damage.
