Life of the characters

Early experience

Wang Hun was a member of general Cao Shuang. In 249, Sima Yi launched the Gaoping mausoleum revolution and killed Cao Shuang. Wang Hun was deposed as a rule. Later, he came back and served as county magistrate of huaixian County, general Shen Antong (SIMA Zhao) in the military, Minister of Sanqi Huangmen, and official of Sanqi Changshi.

In the fourth year of Ganlu (259), Wang Hun's father Wang Chang died, and Wang Hun inherited his title of Marquis of jingling. During the reign of emperor Xianxi (264-265), he was appointed as the captain of Yueqi school.

Main town

In December of the first year of Taishi (February 266), Emperor Cao huanchan of Wei Yuan granted the throne to Sima Yan. The Western Jin Dynasty was established. Wang Hunjia, general Ren Yanglie, moved to Xuzhou as a governor. During his term as governor of Xuzhou, he opened warehouses to relieve famine, which won the trust of the people. Later, Wang Hun was appointed general of dongzhonglang to supervise the military affairs of Huaibei and guard Xuchang.

After that, Wang Hun turned to enlist generals and supervise various military affairs in Yuzhou. Because Yuzhou bordered on the eastern Wu Dynasty, Wang Hun publicized the prestige of the Western Jin government, which made many people dissatisfied with the rule of SUN Hao come to take refuge in the Western Jin Dynasty. Later, Wu generals Xue Ying and Lu Shu claimed to lead 100000 troops to attack Yiyang and Xinxi respectively. At that time, it was a day when the soldiers and horses of each state were resting, and the troops of each place were short of one brigade, so they were not wary of Jin army. However, Wang Hun led his troops across the Huaihe River and attacked the eastern Wu army by surprise. Wang Hun later moved to general Anton to supervise the military affairs in Yangzhou and guard Shouchun. At this time, the eastern Wu was farming heavily in Wancheng, intending to save arms for the attack. Wang Hun then sent Yangzhou governor Ying Chuo to supervise the troops of Huainan to attack the fields of Anhui city, which not only destroyed the local garrison, but also burned a lot of grain, rice seedlings and ships. Wang Hun, a private soldier from the eastern border, observed the terrain and cities of the eastern Wu Dynasty, and prepared to attack.

The unification of Ping and Wu

< sub > the battle of Jin against Wu

In November 279, Sima Yan decided to launch a war against Wu. Wang Hun was ordered to lead his troops from Hengjiang, and sent his subordinates to attack the cities of the eastern Wu Dynasty to destroy them. Seeing that the Jin army was invincible, General Zhu Ming, the Liwu General of the eastern Wu Dynasty, came to surrender. At this time, Jingzhou in the eastern Wu Dynasty had been largely in the hands of the Jin army, and all kinds of troops attacked Jianye. So SUN Hao sent the prime minister Zhang Ti, the governor of Danyang, Shen Ying, the protector Sun Zhen, and the Deputy military adviser Zhuge Liang to lead 30000 troops to resist the Jin army. Zhang Ti led the troops to cross the river to niuzhu, and besieged Zhang Qiao, the commander of Chengyang sent by Wang Hun. Wang Hun sent Anton Sima sunchou and Zhou Jun, the governor of Yangzhou, to attack and defeat the Wu army. Zhang Ti, Shen Ying and Sun Zhen were killed, and more than 7800 people shocked the east Wu.

Later, SUN Hao sent envoys to Wang Hun, Wang Jun and Sima Gu, the three main generals of the Jin army, respectively. However, Wang Hun did not take action, while Wang Jun went all the way along the Yangtze River to Jianye and crossed the river after he was demoted. Wang Jun was famous for his direct attack from Shu to Jianye at that time. However, Wang Hun thought that he should have the greatest credit for taking the lead in defeating SUN Hao's central army. It was only because he didn't take action at that time that Wang Jun got to Jianye faster than him. Therefore, Wang Hun was very unwilling and regretted that he didn't attack Jianye immediately after defeating Zhang ti. He played many times to expose Wang Jun's crime, saying that he was not disciplined, Asked to use the car to escort Wang Jun back to Luoyang, but Sima Yan refused, and Wang Hun's move was ridiculed. After the war, Sima Yan praised Wang Hun's military achievements, and let him become the Duke of jingling, adding eight thousand households. After that, Wang Hun turned to be the general of Zhengdong and guarded Shouchun again. At that time, Wang Hun didn't use punishment frequently, and he acted decisively. Moreover, he properly pacified the adherents of the eastern Wu Dynasty who were afraid of the Western Jin Dynasty, and made Jiangdong stable and the people attached to him.

To the third Duke

In the third year of Taikang (282), Wang Hun was called into the court, and served as the minister's left servant. At this time, Sima Yan followed the advice of Xun Xu and others and planned to send his younger brother Sima you, king of Qi, who had been an official in Luoyang, back to the feudal state. Wang Hun wrote to admonish him, but Sima Yan didn't listen.

In the first month of the first year of Taixi (290), Wang Hun was promoted as situ. Soon after, Sima Yan passed away and Prince Sima Zhong succeeded to the throne. Sima Zhong appointed Wang Hun as his servant, and he was granted the title of sergeant, enjoying the same honor as Wang Xiang, the Duke of Suiling county.

Refuse Wei behind closed doors

In the first year of Yuankang (291), empress Jia Nanfeng joined hands with King Sima Wei of Chu to kill Yang Jun and his party members. After uprooting Yang's power, Sima Wei intended to kill Sima Liang, the new king of Runan, to seize power. Gongsun Hong persuades Sima Wei to seek the support of Wang Hun, an old minister, in order to stabilize people's minds. However, Wang Hun returned to his residence on the ground of illness, and ordered more than 1000 soldiers to resist Sima Wei behind closed doors. Sima Wei did not dare to force him. In the same year, Jia Nanfeng killed Sima Wei and took charge of the government. Wang Hun led his troops into the palace and was granted the title of Lu Shang Shu.

Wang Hun had a good reputation as an official before, but since he became a situ, his reputation has gradually declined.

In the seventh year of Yuankang (297), Wang Hun died at the age of 75. His posthumous title was Yuangong, and later generations called him "Yuangong of Jingling". There are two sons, the eldest son of the king died early, the second son of the king Ji Si Jue, but Wang Ji also died before Wang Hun, so he took his eldest grandson Wang Zhuo Si Jue.

Character evaluation

Sima Yan: under the command of the governor, he forced moling and ordered the thief SUN Hao to save himself and defend himself. He was not allowed to divide his troops to the West. In order to achieve the success of the Western army, he destroyed the enemy and won Zhang Ti, which made Hao's path exhausted and begged for surrender. Therefore, moling was pacified and made great contributions. (quoted from Jin Shu)

Gongsun Hong: situ wanghunsu has a great reputation. He is believed by the three armies. Please ride with him, so that things can be relied on. (quoted from Jin Shu)

Fang Xuanling's book of Jin: first, sun's family was separated by mountains and rivers, relying on the evil atmosphere of cattle fighting, and had a water town to fight against the upper kingdom. The two kings belonged to the dangrong brigade, and were recruited by the law Trent. Hun not only offered jiehengjiang, but also Junyi conquered Jianye in the Qing Dynasty. Although there were many generals and generals in the battle of Wu at that time, how could it be the most important to determine Wu's merits. Xiang Shi Hongfan's father did not fight, and he admired the promotion of Yangxia. He went up to the temple and down to the soldiers. Is it not Mao Xun and Mao de who have a good beginning and a good ending! If this does not exist, what is that. They were proud of their achievements, or proud of their position, competing to build Nanji, and becoming Zibei brocade. Therefore, it is not necessary to abandon the official and ridicule the theory of Qing Dynasty! (the book of Jin) 2. Two Wang Zongrong, Huaihai Youtong. It is not only harmful to the good, but also valuable. Wu Zihao, Jie, has been a member of the imperial court. To show off one's desire for a bull's heart, to give up one's feelings for a horse. (Book of Jin)

Dugu Ji: in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the eight gentlemen, namely Jia Xu's strategy, Jia Kui's loyalty, Zhang Ji's political ability, Cheng Yu's wisdom, Gu Yong's density, Wang Hun's capacity, Liu Yao's judgment, and Yu Yi's ambition, should have no shame. The day of death, and posthumous title said Su, contemporary do not think derogatory. (quoted from Tang Hui Yao)
