In the Three Kingdoms Shu Han forces, there was such a father and son, the father for Liu Bei town to guard all the important passes in the north of Yizhou, including Ye Meng, Baishui, Jiange, Jiangyou, Fucheng and other defensive areas, the son for Liu Chan town to guard the southern frontier, the official to Jianning Taishou, command the southern central counties. They are Huo Jun and Huo Yi father and son, so who are Huo Jun's father and son? What good deeds did they do to Shu Han?
Huo Jun was a native of Nanjun, Jingzhou, and his career was inherited from the family armed forces recruited by his brother Huo Du, and later after his brother's death, when Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, he ordered Huo Jun to command this family armed force. In this way, Huo Jun became a general under Liu Biao of Jingzhou. In 208, after Liu Biao's death, the political situation in Jingzhou was turbulent, and Huo Jun, after weighing, did not follow Liu Chun to surrender to Cao Cao, but led his troops to Liu Bei, where he was appointed as a general of Zhonglang. In the Battle of Chibi, Huo Jun's exploits were not recorded, and it was not until Later Liu Bei entered the river that Huo Jun's defense was highlighted.
In 212, after Liu Bei led an army to capture Yemeng in Xichuan (present-day southwest of Guangyuan, Sichuan), huo Jun left huo jun to lead the army to defend the city of Yemeng. During Huo Jun's defense of the city, he was at a critical moment when Liu Bei of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong were fighting each other. Zhang Lu heard that Liu Bei had left Huo Jun to guard the city of Yemeng, so he sent Yang Shuai to lure Huo Jun down, but Huo Jun went back with a sentence of "the head of a villain can be obtained, but the city is not obtainable". This side had just sent away Zhang Lu's emissaries, and there were Liu Zhang's men and horses. When Liu Zhang saw that Liu Bei had left Yemeng City, he sent Fu Ban and Xiang Cun to lead more than 10,000 people and horses from Langshui to besiege Ye Meng.
At that time, Yemeng City was Liu Bei's only base area, and He ban and Xiang Cun led the army to attack Andumeng, Huo Jun only led the generals in the city to hold the city, and the two sides were deadlocked for a year, and in the end, there were only a few hundred soldiers left in Yemeng City. Seeing that he was about to be unable to defend, Huo Jun took advantage of the fatigue of the other side, simply attacked Liu Zhang's army, and killed the head of the enemy general Xiang Cun in one battle, so that Liu Zhang's army lost the fighting spirit of the siege, so Huo Jun defended Ye Meng and saved Liu Bei's base.
Subsequently, Liu Bei gradually defeated Liu Zhang, pacified Sichuan and Shu, and when discussing the merits of rewarding, Liu Bei specially rewarded Huo Jun for his merits in defending the city, and promoted him to the rank of Zi Tong Tai Shou and General Pei. At that time, Zitong County covered all the important passes in the north of Yizhou, namely: Ye Meng, Baishui, Jiange, Jiangyou, Fucheng and other places, which were the most important defensive areas for Liu Bei to advance into Hanzhong, and Huo Jun and Zhang Fei jointly served as the heavy duty of garrisoning northern Hanzhong. Three years later (217), Huo Jun unfortunately died in office, and Liu Bei felt very sad when he learned of it.
Huo Ge was Huo Jun's son, and after Huo Jun's death, Liu Bei raised Huo Ge in the palace. In 221, Liu Bei declared himself emperor and appointed Huo Ge to the Crown Prince's Mansion as a prince and became a close associate of Liu Chan. Three years later, Liu Chan succeeded to the throne and appointed Huo Ge as a guru, and was responsible for uploading and issuing things at Liu Chan's side. Zhuge Liang also attached great importance to Huo Ge, and by 227 AD, When Zhuge Liang was preparing for the Northern Expedition, he specially transferred Huo Ge to the Ren Ji Office of the Xiang Xiang Mansion and arranged it with his adopted son Zhuge Qiao to travel around the military camps, eat and live with the soldiers, and exercise the ability and will of the two.
Hogo honed his military skills in the barracks and laid the foundation for his later military careers. After Zhuge Liang's death, Huo Ge successively served as a waiter at the Yellow Gate, a zhongshuzi, and a close attendant of the crown prince Liu Xuan, during which he sincerely advised the debauched prince Liu Xuan and successfully guided him on the right path.
Later, because of the instability of the southern frontier of the Shu State, Huo Ge had a background in the army, so he was sent to Yan Yu, the deputy governor of Yu Prefecture, to serve as a soldier and protector. Soon after, because of the ethnic turmoil in Yongchang County, Huo Ge was in danger and ordered to concurrently serve as Yongchang Taishou and lead the army to quell the rebellion, which was successful, so Gong Huoge was promoted to the general of the Yi Army of the Supervision Army, and also the Jianning Taishou, and after returning to the army, he began to take charge of the affairs of Nan County. By 263 AD, Hogo was appointed general of Annam, becoming an important general who held the vast frontier areas in the south for the Shu Han.
While Huo Ge was guarding the southern gate of the Shu Kingdom, a major incident occurred, that is, Deng Ai of the Wei State led an army to sneak into Chengdu. At the critical moment when Liu Chan was judging whether the battle was surrendered, Huo Ge took the initiative to ask Liu Chan to lead his army north to Qin Wang and garrison Chengdu. Unfortunately, Liu Chan rejected Hogo's proposal on the grounds of "preparing for the enemy", and finally surrendered the whole country. After hearing of Liu Chan's surrender, Huo Ge wore mourning clothes and wept bitterly for three days to express his unwilling feelings. Although Huo Ge knew that he was not strong enough to turn the tide and defeat the Wei army, he did not immediately surrender to Cao Wei, but only led the Taishou of the six counties under his command to surrender to Cao Wei when Liu Chan had already moved east to Luoyang and the overall situation of the Wei state had been decided. This move was respected by Sima Zhao, who specially ordered him to remain in charge of the six counties and make him the governor of Nanzhong. Later, Huo Ge sent his troops to rescue Lü Xing and help him pacify the three counties of Jiaolan, Nichinan, and Jiuzhen, and was promoted to the rank of Marquis for his merits, becoming the general of Shishou Nanzhong.
