Mu Shun is a character in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Wikidata's simplified Chinese label is Mu Shun, and the English label is Mu Shun. The cited article says two men of this name appear in the book. This entry's description is Zhang Yang's commander, so the account below keeps the officer of chapter 5 and does not treat the eunuch of chapter 66 as the same person. The title stays Mu Shun. This entry records him as an officer, and the story is set in the Han.[1][2]
The commander in chapter 5
In chapter 5 he appears as a commander under Zhang Yang. When the eighteen lords campaigned against Dong Zhuo, he challenged Lü Bu and was speared dead from the saddle.[2]
A different man of the same name
Chapter 66 has another Mu Shun, a eunuch loyal to the Han. With Emperor Xian's support he carried a letter for Empress Fu and her father Fu Wan. Cao Cao intercepted it, and this Mu Shun was killed. The article gives him a separate section. That episode is not used for this entry.[2]
