Crossing Hu Yuan, Wang Chang (chǎ

g), to Wang Hun.

…… ……

Wang Hun (223-297), the name Xuanchong. A native of Jinyang County, Taiyuan County (now Taiyuan, Shanxi). He was a famous minister in the early years of the Three Kingdoms from Cao Wei to the Western Jin Dynasty, the grandson of Wang Ze, the Taishou of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the son of Wang Chang of Cao Wei Sikong.

Wang Hun was a subordinate of the general Cao Shuang in his early years, and was dismissed from office after the coup d'état in Gao Pingling. Soon came back, successively served as the county commander of Huai County, joined the army, and served as a loose cavalry squire, and attacked the Marquis of Jingling County. After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, he was reappointed as General Yanglie. Later, he served as the general of Dongzhonglang, the general of the conquest, and the assassin of Yuzhou, and actively planned the strategy of defeating Wu.

In the fifth year of Xianning (279), he and Du Pre and others were edicted to attack Wu, and led the army to attack from the Hengjiang River, winning many battles. The following year, the state of Wu fell, and Wang Hun was promoted to the general of the expedition to the east, and he was promoted to the Duke of Jingling.

Later, he entered the court and shot for the left servant of Shangshu. In the first year of Taixi (290), he was promoted to Situ.

Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui ascended the throne and added the rank of servant. When Sima Wei, the king of Chu, killed Sima Liang, he intended to seek Wang Hun's support, but he sternly refused. After Sima Wei's death, Wang Hun was reinstated as Situ Jialu Shangshu.

…… ……

Wang Hun's wife, Zhong Yan, was a native of Yingchuan, the great-granddaughter of Wei Taifu Zhong Xuan (yáo), and her father, Zhong Hui, was Huangmenlang.

Zhong Yan usually reads a wide range of books, so he can write articles at a few years old. She is intelligent and elegant, good at singing, her etiquette is respected by the Chinese table, and she has written five volumes of anthologies.

Wang Hun's brother-in-law Hao is virtuous, Zhong Yan and Hao are concubines, and they have always been close to and respected each other. The Zhong family is not from a famous family, and considers himself a nobleman, but arrogant ** his younger brother-in-law; Hao's family is not inferior to the family, but tends to his sister-in-law, the two respect each other and love each other, so the people of the time praised "Mrs. Zhong's gift", "Mrs. Hao's law".

…… ……

One day, Wang Hun and his wife Zhong Yan were sitting together, and when they saw their son Wang Ji walking through the courtyard, Wang Hun happily said to his wife: "It is full of peace of mind to have a son like this." ”

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "If I could marry and join the army (Wang Hun's younger brother, Mrs. Hao's husband), the son I would have had would have been more than that." ”

Wang Hun smiled awkwardly and was speechless for a long time.

Jokes like this between husband and wife are enough to see what kind of relationship they have.

…… ……

Zhong Yan has a special set of interpersonal skills. The couple had a daughter, Wang, and when they reached the age when the woman was married, they wanted to find a good family for their daughter, so Wang Hun asked his second son Wang Ji to find a good partner for his sister.

Wang Ji married the daughter of Emperor Wen of the Jin Dynasty, Princess Sima of Changshan, and served as a waiter in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Wang Ji interviewed many people, but he always felt that he was not worthy of his sister, so he has not been able to achieve his mission.

There was a young man who was born in the children of a soldier, who was tall and handsome and had some talents, and after Wang Ji found out, he thought that this person might be a good object, so he reported to his mother Zhong Yan.

Zhong Yan said, "In that case, you can arrange for me to observe him and see if he is as worthy of your sister as you say." ”

So, Wang Ji arranged for a group of officials to chat with the young man, and let his mother Zhong Yan hide behind the curtain to observe. Afterwards, Zhong Yan asked Wang Ji, "There is a young man who looks like this and dresses like this, is it the person you said?" ”

As soon as Wang Ji heard that his mother's description was not correct at all, he nodded yes.

Zhong Yan said, "This person's talent and ability are indeed outstanding, but he comes from a low background and is slightly cold, and it will take many years to get ahead." And when I look at his face and figure, he has already shown a short-lived appearance. Therefore I cannot promise to marry your sister to him. ”

Wang Ji thanked the young man for his proposal. A few years later, the young man passed away for some reason, as Zhong Yan said.

Wang Hun's father, Wang Chang, died, and Wang Hun inherited his title of Marquis of Jingling.

Emperor Cao Huanchan of Wei Yuan gave the emperor the throne to Sima Yan, the Western Jin Dynasty was established, Wang Hun was appointed as the general of Yanglie, and moved to Xuzhou to assassinate the history. During his tenure in Xuzhou, he opened a warehouse to relieve the famine, and won the trust of the people. Later, Wang Hun was transferred to the post of general of Dongzhong Lang, supervising the military of Huaibei and guarding Xuchang.

After Wang Hun, he transferred to the general of the conquest, changed the supervision of the military of Yuzhou, and the false festival, and led the history of Yuzhou's assassination. Because Yuzhou borders on Eastern Wu, Wang Hun preached the prestige of the Western Jin Dynasty in the local area, causing many Eastern Wu people who were dissatisfied with Sun Hao's rule to come to the Western Jin Dynasty.

Later Eastern Wu generals Xue Ying and Lu Shu claimed to have led 100,000 troops and attacked Yiyang and Xinxi respectively. At that time, it was the day when the soldiers and horses in various states were resting, and there was a brigade of troops missing in various places, and Dongwu was not wary of the arrival of the Jin army. However, Wang Hun led his army to quietly cross the Huai River, attacked the Eastern Wu army by surprise, and broke it.

Wang Hun later moved General Andong to supervise the military of Yangzhou and guard Shouchun.

At this time, Soochow cultivated heavily in Anhui City, intending to save armaments for the attack. Wang Hun then sent the Yangzhou Assassin Shi Ying to supervise the Huainan army to attack the fields of Anhui, not only breaking the local garrison, but also burning a large amount of grain, rice seedlings and ships. Wang Hun marched troops from the eastern border, observing the terrain and cities of Eastern Wu, and preparing to plan an offensive strategy.

…… ……

Sima Yan decided to launch a war to destroy Wu, Wang Hun was ordered to lead his troops to attack from Hengjiang, and sent his subordinates to attack the cities of Eastern Wu, breaking them one by one.

At this time, Jingzhou in Eastern Wu had roughly fallen into the hands of the Jin army, and the armies from all walks of life attacked Jianye, so Sun Hao sent the prime minister Zhang Yi to supervise Danyang Taishou Shen Ying, the protector Sun Zhen and the deputy military division Zhuge Liang and others led 30,000 troops to resist the Jin army.

Zhang Yi led his troops to cross the river to Niuzhu, and besieged Zhang Qiao, the commander of Chengyang sent by Wang Hun, Wang Hun sent Anton Sima Sun Chou and Yangzhou Assassin Zhou Jun to attack, and broke the Wu army, Zhang Yi, Shen Ying and Sun Zhen and others killed more than 7,800 people, shocking Eastern Wu.

Later, Sun Hao sent envoys to send letters of surrender to the three main generals of the Jin army, Wang Hun and Wang Jun and the evil king of Lang, Sima Xuan (伷zhòu), but Wang Hun did not move, while Wang Jun went all the way along the Yangtze River to Jianye, and only crossed the river after being surrendered.

After the war, Sima Yan praised Wang Hun for his military exploits and made him the Duke of Jingling, increasing the number of households by 8,000. Wang Hun was later transferred to the general of Zhengdong and re-guarded Shouchun.

In the third year of Taikang (282), Wang Hun was summoned to enter the court, and he was appointed as the left servant of Shangshu, and he was a regular attendant.

In the first month of the first year of Taixi (290), Wang Hun was promoted to Situ. Soon after, Sima Yan died, and the crown prince Sima Zhen succeeded him.

Sima Cheng awarded Wang Hun as a servant, and the feudal country was awarded a non-commissioned officer, enjoying the same honor as Wang Xiang, the prince of Suiling County.

…… ……

In the first year of Yuankang (291), Empress Jia Nanfeng united with Sima Wei, the king of Chu, and exterminated Yang Jun, the assistant minister, and his henchmen. After eradicating the Yang clan's power, Sima Wei intended to kill Sima Liang, the new king of Runan, to seize power. His subordinate Gongsun Hong persuaded Sima Wei to find the support of his former minister Wang Hun in order to stabilize everyone's minds.

But Wang Hun returned to the mansion on the grounds of illness, and ordered more than 1,000 soldiers in the mansion to resist Sima Wei behind closed doors, but 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 troops into the palace and was awarded the title of Record Shangshu.

At the time of the court storm, his wife Zhong Yan warned Wang Hun to be cautious, and Wang Hun sighed, "The official body can't help himself!" ”

Wang Hun's predecessors had a very good reputation, but since he became Situ, his reputation has been declining.

still fell into the trap of Jia Nanfeng, a woman, but fortunately, she didn't fall deeply.

In the seventh year of Yuankang (297), Wang Hun died at the age of seventy-five, and his nickname was Yuan Gong, and later generations called him "Jingling Yuan Gong".
