Early official in the Western Jin Dynasty

In the second year of Yongxing (305), Wen Qiao was appointed as a capital official by the school captain of Sili. He was responsible for supervising 100 officials. He was 17 years old at that time. The impeachment of Yu Yu, a famous scholar, and his search for people's wealth won his praise and fame. Later, Wen Qiao was promoted to be a scholar and brilliant. He was also appointed as a sacrificial wine in the East Pavilion of situ Fu, and served as the magistrate of Lu County in Shangdang county. In the fourth year of Yongjia (310), Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, was promoted to General of Pingbei University. Wen Qiao was Liu Kun's nephew. He was treated by Liu Kun, so he was appointed to join the army in Pingbei. In the first year of Jianxing (313), Liu Kun paid homage to the general. Wen Qiao served as a general in the military office, engaged in Zhonglang, led the party's Taishou, added Jianwei general, supervised the military forward. At that time, the Huns and the Han Dynasty ravaged the Central Plains, and the royal families and families of the Jin Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River one after another to take refuge with Sima Rui, king of Langya. The regime of the Western Jin Dynasty is dead in name. Bingzhou is isolated in the north, with bandits swarming in the territory, surrounded by strong enemies such as shile and Liu Cong. Wen Qiao made many achievements in the war with shile, and Liu Kunyi was the adviser. In the third year of Jianxing (315), Liu Kun was promoted to Sikong, and Wen Qiao was the right Sima of Sikong's mansion. In the fourth year of Jianxing (316), the Han Dynasty was defeated by the Western Jin Dynasty, and then Bingzhou was conquered. Wen Qiao went to Youzhou with Liu Kun and attached himself to Duan pili, the governor of Youzhou.

South to Jiangdong

In the first year of Jianwu (317), Sima Rui established the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), but he was only called king of Jin, not emperor. Liu Kun then took Wen Qiao as the chief historian of Sikong mansion and asked him to go south to Jiangdong to persuade him to enter. In June of that year, Wen Qiao arrived in Jiankang. He made a generous speech in the court hall, praised Liu Kun's loyalty and righteousness, and said that Jiangdong inherited the rule of Jin Dynasty, which was highly appreciated by Sima Rui. At that time, famous scholars such as Wang Dao, Zhou Yi, Xie Kun, Yu Liang and Huan Yi all appreciated Wen Qiao and vied with him. Later, Wen Qiao repeatedly asked to return to Youzhou to reply to Liu Kun, but he was not allowed. In the first year of Taixing (318), Sima Rui was officially called emperor, and he was also called emperor yuan of Jin Dynasty in history, and Wen Qiao was appointed as a regular official. Wen Qiao refused to accept the official position on the ground of his mother's death, and once again asked to return to the north. The three secretaries and the eight seats all agreed that Wen Qiao could not abandon state affairs because of his private affairs. At that time, Liu Kun had been wrongly killed by Duan pili in the civil strife. Wen Qiao had to accept the appointment, stay in Jiangdong, and asked the court to praise Liu Kun, to comfort the hope of the sea. However, Jin Tingzheng relied heavily on Duan pidui to resist shile and did not pursue Liu Kun. Since then, Wen Qiao has served as a long history of Hushi and a common son among the princes. He did his utmost to admonish, and offered his "minister's admonition", which was highly valued by the prince's Department, Ma Shaoqi, and was cited as a close friend.

Pacify Wang Dun

In the first year of Yongchang (322), General Wang Dun attacked Jiankang in the name of killing Liu Kai and Diao Xie. Wen Qiao sympathized with Wang dunshang and once said to Zhou Fei: "it seems that there is a certain reason for the general to do this. Should it not be too much?" After entering Jiankang, Wang Dun wanted to dethrone the crown prince in the name of unfilial, in order to replace the Jin Dynasty. Wen Qiao came forward to protect Sima Shao and defeated Wang Dun's plot. In November of that year, emperor yuan of Jin Dynasty died of illness. Prince Sima Shao ascended the throne, known as the emperor of Jin and Ming Dynasties, with Wen Qiao as his servant. In the first year of Taining (323), Wen Qiao was appointed as zhongshuling. He took charge of the imperial edict Wenhan and participated in the secret scheme, which was highly trusted by the Ming emperor. At that time, Wang Dun had returned to Jiangzhou and remote controlled the government. He was extremely afraid of this, so he asked Wen Qiao to be the shogunate Zuo Sima. Wen Qiao, pretending to be diligent and respectful, gave advice to Wang Dun, and deliberately made friends with his confidant Qian Feng, gradually gaining Wang Dun's trust. In the second year of Taining (324), Yin in Danyang was vacant. Wen Qiao advised Wang Dun to go over the imperial court and personally choose a candidate for the post, and recommended Qian Feng. Qian Feng recommended Wen Qiao. Wang Dun took Wen Qiao as Danyang Yin. Wen Qiao was able to return to Jiankang and report Wang Dun's plan, reality and falsehood to the emperor of Jin and Ming Dynasties, asking the imperial court to be prepared. In the same month, Wang Dun was very angry when he learned that Wen Qiao had betrayed him, so he fought again in the name of killing Wen Qiao and other treacherous officials, and threatened to pull out Wen Qiao's tongue in person. The emperor of Jin and Ming made Wen Qiao a general of Zhonglei, a chieftain, and a military commander in the north of Dong'an to resist Wang dun. In July, Wang Dun's army arrived at the South Bank of the Qinhuai River. Wen Qiao thought that the military strength was insufficient and the reinforcements did not arrive. He ordered that the Zhuque bridge be burned to stop the enemy. The two armies confronted each other across the river. Wen Qiao personally led his troops across the river to make a surprise attack and defeated Wang Han (Wang Dun's elder brother), < / I > and ordered Liu ya to defeat Qian Feng. Soon, Wang Dun died of illness. After Wang Dun's rebellion was settled, the emperor of Jin and Ming issued an imperial edict to remove Wang Dun's party members and imprison his subordinates. Wen Qiao thinks that people forced to follow Wang Dun, such as Lu Wan, Liu Yin and Guo Pu, should be forgiven. Sima Shao adopts Wen Qiao's opinion. In October of the same year, Wen Qiao, the feudal Duke of Ningxian County, rewarded 5400 pieces of silk and became a former general.

Out of town Jiangzhou

In the third year of Taining (325), Emperor Jin and Ming died of illness. Prince Sima Yan ascended the throne, known as emperor Cheng of Jin Dynasty. As Danyang Yin, Wen Qiao, together with Sima Fu, Sima Wangdao, Bian Fu, Xi Jian, Yu Liang, and Lu Ye, the leader of the army, received the imperial edict. At that time, Emperor Cheng was young, and the Empress Dowager Yu's family was called the imperial court system. Yu Liang was in charge of political decision-making. In the first year of Xianhe (326), Wen Qiao was appointed governor of Jiangzhou, governor of Chijie, and general of Pingnan. At that time, General Tao Kan was stationed in Jingzhou, which was powerful in the West. Yu Liang was very afraid of Tao Kan, so he ordered Wen Qiao to stay in Jiangzhou as an aid to prevent Tao Kan. During his stay in Jiangzhou, Wen Qiao promoted talents and made benevolent policies. He also went to the imperial court and wanted to take charge of the military affairs with the position of governor. He proposed that the governor and the governor should rule Jiangzhou separately, but it was not approved by the imperial court.

Pacify Su Jun

The rebellion of Su Jun

In the second year of Xianhe (327), Yu Liang wanted to remove Su Jun's military power from Liyang. Despite Wen Qiao's many letters to dissuade him, he called Su Jun into the court as the chief minister of agriculture. Wen Qiao worried that Su Jun was plotting a rebellion, so he asked to lead the army to Wei Jiankang in case of unexpected changes, but Yu Liang refused. Soon, Su Jun set up a rebellion and attacked Jiankang. Wen Qiao came from Wuchang to seek Yang (now Jiujiang in Jiangxi Province), and ordered the governor Wang Qiqi, Xiyang prefect Deng Yue and Poyang prefect Ji Mu to lead the navy to rescue Jiankang. In February of the third year of Xianhe (328), Su Jun led the rebels to capture Jiankang and seized emperor Jin Cheng to control the government. Yu Liang fled from Jiankang and went to Xunyang to join Wen Qiao. At that time, in the name of the empress dowager, Yu Liang entered Wenqiao as a general of Hushi and the third division of Kaifu Yitong. However, Wen Qiao refused to accept the appointment on the ground that Su Jun was not peaceful. In 328, Su Junjun captured Jiankang and Yu Liang fled. Wen Qiao was devastated to learn. Soon after, Yu Liang came to join him, and announced the Empress Dowager's edict to appoint Wen Qiao as the general of Hushi and the third division of Kaifu Yitong. Wen Qiao thought that Su Jun was not peaceful, so he was not suitable to be granted the title and refused to accept it. In April, Wen Qiao and Yu Liang launched a war against Su Jun, pushing each other to be the leader of the alliance. Wen Qiao's younger brother Wen Chong suggests that Tao Kan be elected as a strong soldier. Wen Qiao sends governor Wang Ziqi to Jingzhou to persuade Tao Kan to go to the national calamity. Tao Kan is very hesitant. Under the persuasion of Mao Bao, Wen Qiao revised his book again, explained the advantages and disadvantages, and finally convinced Tao Kan to fight. Wen Qiao then spread an appeal to the world and announced Su Jun's crime. Xi Jian, who was stationed in Guangling, sent envoys to Wen Qiao, proposing the strategy of setting up a fortress, strengthening the wall and clearing the wild, and cutting off the food sources of Su Jun's army. Wen Qiao agreed with him. In May of the same year, Tao Kan led his department to Jiankang. There is a rumor that he wants to kill Yu Liang to thank the world. Yu Liang is very afraid, so he follows Wen Qiao's advice and takes the initiative to visit Tao Kan to thank him. The two men resolve their differences. At this time, the Soviet Union had 60000 troops, and the banners and banners were linked for more than 700 Li. The momentum was very strong, and the front of the troops was directed at the stone city. Su Jun saw that the Allied forces were powerful, and he was afraid. His opponent said, "I knew that Wen Qiao could win the hearts of the people." Since the confrontation between the two armies, the Allied forces have lost more and won less, while Wen Qiao's army has run out of food and had to borrow from Tao Kan. Tao Kan is very angry. He blames Wen Qiao for his lack of preparation and hasty military buildup, claiming to return to Jingzhou to wait for the opportunity. Wen Qiao first predicted that Su Jun would be defeated if he was arrogant, and then analyzed that the situation had been difficult to ride a tiger. If Tao Kan withdrew, he would be in danger of "being defeated". Tao Kan is speechless. In September of 328 (the third year of Xianhe), Wen Qiao built a walking temple and set up a large altar to commemorate the spirit of his ancestors
