朱灵 / Zhu Ling (late Han)

Overview

朱灵 / Zhu Ling enters the wiki through Hanji 1040 as the Cao-side officer sent with 刘备 to intercept 袁术.

Current Profile

The page currently records Zhu Ling only as part of Cao Cao’s risky dispatch decision. His importance in this source is not independent command characterization; it is that Liu Bei’s assignment was not a solitary flight but a Cao-authorized military mission that still gave him room to break away.

Key Characteristics

• Cao-side officer paired with Liu Bei in the Yuan Shu interception assignment.
• Connected to the warning from 程昱, 郭嘉, and 董昭 that Liu Bei should not be allowed to leave with troops.
• Functions as evidence that Liu Bei’s renewed autonomy emerged from an authorized operation.
• Appears through a transcript form rendered as “朱禄,” normalized here to Zhu Ling.

Evidence

• Dispatch role: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》1040丨乱世英雄，曹操为何独独看好刘备？ says Cao Cao sends Liu Bei with the officer rendered as “朱禄” against Yuan Shu.
• Release-risk context: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》1040丨乱世英雄，曹操为何独独看好刘备？ has advisers immediately object to the decision.
• Identity normalization: 《资治通鉴·汉纪》1040丨乱世英雄，曹操为何独独看好刘备？ flags name-recognition problems; this page keeps the Zhu Ling normalization source-scoped.

Qualifications

The source does not narrate Zhu Ling’s later career or personal judgment. It only establishes his role in this dispatch sequence.

What Changed

• Created the page for Hanji 1040’s Cao-side dispatch actor.

Relationships

• 曹操 - commander who sends Zhu Ling in the Yuan Shu interception mission.
• 刘备 - co-dispatched actor who uses the mission to regain autonomy.

• 放虎归山式宾客释放风险 - strategic consequence linked to the mission.
