Chen Li (Han dynasty)
Chen Li was a Western Han official who served as governor of Zangke commandery in the south-west. Around 27 BCE, when Xing, the king of Yelang, resisted Han authority, Chen Li executed him and crushed the resistance of his allies. The kingdom of Yelang was then abolished and its lands were ruled directly as part of the Han empire.
