Wu Lin was an official serving under Lelang; his activities are recorded in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, juan 30. He does not appear in the novel.
Deeds
Wu Lin believed that Lelang had originally governed the Korean states, and so assigned the eight states of Chenhan to Lelang. Because the interpreter conveying the officials’ message rendered it differently, Chen Zhi stirred up the anger of the Han people, who attacked the Giri camp in Daifang Commandery.
