Three Kingdoms Liang series of the whole Qun (Part 1)
Cooking wine on heroes, but also about the characters of the Three Kingdoms.
In the Eastern Wu camp of the Three Kingdoms period, there was a high-powered powerful big man, who was a military general, but was not among the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangbiao; he served as a governor, but was not among the four major governors of Eastern Wu; he was born in Wu County, nor was he among the four major families of Wu County. This person is called Quan Chun, who does not play much in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in the history of Zheng is a major figure in Eastern Wu. At the beginning of this issue, we will talk about this seemingly unknown but very important Eastern Wu power figure.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > one of the major events in Quan chun - military food to help the victims</h1>
Quan Chun (?) –249), courtesy name Zi Huang, was a native of Qiantang, Wu Commandery (present-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang). Quan Chun's father, Quan Rou, was a famous scholar at the end of the Han Dynasty, and was promoted to filial piety during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, and served as the right hand man of ShangshuLang. Dong Zhuo entered the capital to cause chaos in the imperial court, and Quan Rou immediately abandoned the official and returned to his hometown, and was then appointed as another driver by the yangzhou assassin Shi Zheng. Dong Zhuo's imperial court was unable to take Quan Rou and could not control Yangzhou, and in order to win people's hearts and minds, he worshiped Quan Rou as the eastern governor of Huiji.
In the first year of Jian'an (196), Sun Ce came to Jiangdong, Quan Rou raised troops and defected, and Sun Ce made Quan Rou the governor of Danyang.
In the fourteenth year of Jian'an (209), Sun Quan appointed Quan Rou as Changshi and soon after as The Taishou of Guiyang. Many of the Eastern Wu generals mentioned earlier were second and third old ministers, and Quan Chun was the opposite, he was the second generation of officials of the Jiangdong clique. The Battle of Chibi is over, and Quan Chun has not yet had a chance to play. It can be seen that although the specific birth year is not known, it must be very young.
Moreover, Quan Rou went to Guiyang to take up his post, and after the grain harvest was harvested, he asked his son Quan Chun to bring a few thousand pieces of rice to Wu County for trade, exchange some of the materials needed by the county, and Quan Chun led the orders away. As a result, Quan Chun went to Wu County, gave all the rice to the local scholars and doctors without taking any money, and returned to Guiyang by empty boat.
Quan Rou was dumbfounded at first glance, and then he was furious, what kind of wind did this stupid son smoke?
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Quan Chun contains: Rou Da Fu , Chun Dun Shou Said: "The foolishness of the city is not urgent, and the scholar Fang Fang has the trouble of overthrowing the county, so he is in a hurry, and he can't report it." "Softer is more surprising.
Quan Chun bowed to his father Quan Rou and explained, "I don't think I am in a hurry to do business, but the local scholar is already in danger of being upside down, and he can't eat any food, so I decided to give them grain relief without authorization, and it was suddenly too late to report to you." Quan Rou was very surprised to hear that his son had such a great courage.
This matter is seen from two angles. Grain is too important in the chaotic world, and being able to trade thousands of grain shows that Quanrou has managed Guiyang well, and this trip will certainly be profitable. It's not right to say you're not in a hurry. But this was done by his own son, and there was nothing he could do, he could only think of the benefits, Quan Chun had such courage at a young age, and he would become a great instrument in the future.
From another point of view, there is a saying called "the cub sells the grandfather field is not painful", and there is a Spring and Autumn allusion called Fan Li to save the son, it is said that Fan Li's second son is going to be killed for a crime, Fan Li wants the third son to bring money to make some relations, his wife has to go to the eldest son, and as a result, the eldest son goes but is reluctant to work hard to earn money, and the second son is still killed. Fan Li smiled bitterly, saying that the third son was spoiled from childhood and did not know how to make money hard, and he would not be reluctant to go, and the eldest son worked hard to make money with himself, so he was reluctant.
That is to say, Quan Chun was very young at that time and did not understand the preciousness of grain in the chaotic world, so when he saw the suffering crowd, he sent all the grain out with compassion, and it was impossible to replace it with Quan Rou. On the other hand, thanks to Quan Chun's lack of understanding of the preciousness of grain, he was able to relieve a large number of scholars. Note that the original text of the historical data is written by scholars and doctors, not ordinary people, and there is a big difference here. It shows that Quan Chun is not hot-headed and illogical, he has his considerations. Salvation Doctor, these people will be grateful for the kindness of Quan Clan, and will become Quan Chun's helpers in the future. Save the people... It's really kind.
At this time, shortly after the end of the Battle of Chibi, Jiangdong was in the period of external expansion, and it was reasonable to say that Wu County should not have a situation where groups of soldiers could not eat. The author believes that this is actually a phenomenon caused by the flight of northern scholars to Jiangdong, because the grain is not rich in the first place, and many foreign people come to defect, making the short-term grain shortage even more intense.
Quan Chun, the second generation of officials and the second generation of the rich, started from a very high point, and with the grain resources in his hands, he accumulated a good reputation in Wu County, and it should be noted that Quan Chun was a Wu County person, which laid a heavy foreshadowing for his later rise.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the second major event in Quanchun - to attack Jingzhou</h1>
At that time, there were many soldiers who fled to the south to avoid chaos, and after the reputation of Quan Chun's righteousness and wealth spread, there were constantly people who came to rely on them, and there were hundreds of people who voluntarily followed Quan Chun. Quan Chun is also not ambiguous, pouring out all his help to these people, and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Finally, Quan Quan's name came into Sun Quan's sight, and Sun Quan appointed him as a lieutenant of Fenwei and asked him to lead thousands of people to conquest Shanyue.
At this time, the energy accumulated by Quan Chun in his daily life came in handy, and he recruited another army, quickly recruiting more than 10,000 elite soldiers. This made Sun Quan very happy, so after fighting Shanyue, he let Quan Chun out of Tunniuzhu, an important ferry port of the Yangtze River, and was immediately promoted to general.
In the following years, Quan Chun did not have anything important to write about, first, he was too young, and second, Dongwu was full of talents, and Quan Chun had not yet been given the opportunity.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), guan yu's northern expedition was in full swing, and when the Battle of Xiangfan was in full swing, Quan Zhen shangshu suggested that Sun Quan attack Guan Yu and expounded his strategy. Quan Chun didn't know that in fact, Sun Quan had already secretly prepared for an attack on Jingzhou with Lü Meng and Lu Xun. It's just that Quan Chun is not high enough at this time, this major secret Sun Quan is worried about leaking, did not tell Quan Chun, just put Quan Chun's suggestion aside.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Quan Chun (全琮傳) says: In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei surrounded Guan Yu and Xiangyang, and Chen Yu could be consulted on the plan, and Quan Shi had already discussed with Lü Mengyin to attack it, fearing that the matter would leak, so Liu Bei did not answer.
When Guan Yu was captured and the jingzhou war situation was completely over, Sun Quan set up a banquet at the public security and specially said to Quan Chun: "You mentioned to me the plan to attack Jingzhou before, although I did not reply to you, but today's great victory also has your share of credit!" Therefore, he made Quan Chun the Marquis of Yanghuating.
From Quan Quan's fenghou, it can be seen that at least the strategy proposed by Quan Chun is quite feasible, and some of it should have been adopted by Sun Quan. Under the circumstances at that time, it was suggested that the person who attacked Guan Yu should be more than quan Qun, but Sun Quan was able to praise Quan Chun in front of the generals, which showed that there were some unique values in Quan Chun's suggestions that others did not expect.
From this passage, it seems that Quan Chun is a resourceful person, but it is interesting that Pang Tong does not think so. Yes, Feng Chi Pang Tong and Quan Chun are also good friends. When Zhou Yu died that year, Pang Tong, who was an aide to Zhou Yu, was sent to Wu County, and Pang Tong's name was also widely known in Wudi, and many celebrities had intersected with Pang Tong.
Pang Tong said goodbye to local friends when he was parting, and Lu Ji, Gu Shao, and Quan Chun, who were local leaders, all came out to feast, and Pang Tong evaluated the three of them separately, saying that Quan Chun "did not have much intelligence."
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Pang Tong" says: "Qing Hao Shi admired the name, similar to Ru Nan Fan Zi Zhao." Although the intelligence is not much, it is also good for a while. ”
Pang Tong said this very directly, saying that Quan Chun was happy to accumulate fame by scattering wealth, like Fan Zizhao of Runan. This Fan Zizhao historical material is not detailed, presumably a typical figure who scattered wealth for fame at that time. Pang Tong did not mean to accuse, after all, it was a fact that the relief of the poor soldiers was no matter what, and it was right to get a good reputation. As for the meaning of not having much intelligence, it is not that Quan Chun is a fool, but that he is not known for his wisdom, at least one level lower than Pang Tong's own words. The last sentence of Pang Tong is to say that Quan Chun is generally considered a talent, the intelligence is not top level and enough, and other aspects are still very good.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the third major event of Quan Chun - the Battle of Dongkou</h1>
Although Pang Tong felt that Quan Chun's intelligence was not much, it did not prevent Quan Chun from making many military achievements.
In the first year of Huang Wu's reign (222), Cao Pi launched a major campaign against Wu, and the Eastern Route Army was led by Cao Xiu to march into Dongkou. On the Eastern Wu side, Sun Quan took Lü Fan as his commander, and Xu Sheng, Quan Chun, and Sun Shao accompanied the army to meet the battle. Cao Xiu's military style was very aggressive and fierce, although the Eastern Wu naval army was more good at fighting, but Cao Xiu often sent small groups of troops to sneak around in light boats by virtue of his superiority in troops, and Quan Chun did not take off his armor all day to meet the battle at any time.
In the winter of November, a sudden strong wind blew on the river, blowing many ships of the Wu army to the north shore, and as many as thousands of people were killed or drowned. When the survivors gathered and withdrew to the south bank, Cao Xiu sent Zang Ba to lead 10,000 death squads and 500 fast boats across the river to attack Xuling, burn the Siege Vehicles and other heavy weights of the Wu army, and attack and kill thousands of people.
In the adversity of the Wu army, Quan Chun and Xu Sheng led troops to counterattack, and took advantage of Zang Ba's withdrawal to kill the Wei general Yin Li, and killed and captured hundreds of Wei troops, saving face for the Wu army.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Quan Chun reads: In the future, thousands of enemy people came out of the river, and Chun broke it, and struck its general Yin Lu.
Yin Lu here is the general Yin Li of the Taishan Army, and "Lu'er" is an alias of Yin Li. After Yin Li surrendered to Cao Cao that year, he was appointed as the Taishou of Dongguan County, and his status was not low, and he was a veteran general who had followed Zang Ba for many years. Xu Sheng is not mentioned in the Biography of Quan Chun, and the Biography of Wu Mentions "Quan Chun and Xu Sheng's Pursuit of the Wei General Yin Lu", but this matter is not mentioned in the Biography of Xu Sheng. Therefore, it is obvious to draw a conclusion that the pursuit and killing of Yin Li was mainly the work of Quan Chun, and Xu Sheng played a secondary role.
After the war, Quan Chun was promoted to the rank of general of Suinan for his merits and was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Qiantang.
In the fourth year of Huang Wu (225), Sun Quan appointed Quan Chun to concurrently serve as the Taishou of Jiujiang, a false festival. Jiujiang, as a county located in jiangbei, was the front line facing Cao Wei, which showed that Sun Quan recognized Quan's ability and began to entrust him with heavy responsibilities.
This issue mainly introduces the process of Quan Chun's gradual use by Sun Quan, as a person who once served as the governor of Eastern Wu, what deeds Quan Chun did later, and the details of Quan Chun's involvement in the succession to the throne, we will continue to talk in the next issue.
