The General of the Hussars was the military general position set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, ranking second only to the Great General in the military rank, and the well-known Huo Qi disease was the first Hussar General in the ancient history of our country. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han system continued, and by the Three Kingdoms period, it declined to the third place in the military rank. According to incomplete statistics, during the entire Three Kingdoms period, a total of eight people before and after Jiangdong received the title.
The first Hussar general: Sun Quan, who was not only the Emperor of Eastern Wu, but also the first person in Jiangdong to receive the position. However, it is interesting that Sun Quan's position was appointed by Cao Cao. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD), Guan Yu's "flooded Seventh Army" caused Cao Cao heavy losses, not only losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but also becoming a prisoner. At this time, Sun Quan took the initiative to reconcile with Cao Cao and was willing to relieve him of the siege of Fancheng. Therefore, Cao Cao agreed without thinking.
From June to December of the same year, Sun Quan dispatched troops to occupy Guan Yu's Jingzhou region, not only recovering the lost territory, but also consolidating Cao Wei's interests in Jingzhou. After the war, in recognition of Sun Quan's exploits in the Battle of Jingzhou, Cao Cao appointed him as a general on horseback under the guise of Emperor Xian of Han, granted a false festival, and led jingzhou pastor.
The second Hussar general: Bu Qi, who was a famous general during the Sun Quan period, because his main achievements were mostly in the territory of Eastern Wu and the border of Shu Wu, so compared with the famous generals of the early Eastern Wu, Bu Qi was not too conspicuous. Bu Qi started from a civilian position and gradually became a general of Eastern Wu. In the first year of the Huanglong Dynasty (229 AD), Sun Quan was proclaimed empress, and in recognition of bu qi's merits, he was promoted to the rank of general of the Hussars, the pastor of Jizhou, and later served as the eastern Wu chancellor for more than a year.
The third Hussar general: Zhu Zhao. Zhu Zhu's status in Eastern Wu is very special, he is Sun Quan's dragon-riding son-in-law, and at the same time a tragic figure. With his own talent and hard work, Zhu Zhi climbed all the way up his career, from the Five Senses Lang to the Dynasty Horse, and then gradually jumped to become the Eastern Wu Minister, during which he experienced many tribulations, and was a very inspirational image among the generals of Eastern Wu. However, the final outcome of Zhu Zhao's end was very bleak, and he was actually killed by the powerful minister Sun Hong. However, Zhu Zhu also served as a hussar general for several years before his death. In the ninth year of Chi Wu (246 AD), Sun Quan, in recognition of Zhu Zhao's contributions to Eastern Wu, promoted him to the rank of General of the Hussars.
The fourth Hussar general: Lü Zhao, who was a famous general in the middle and late Wu kingdom after the famous Eastern Wu general Lü Fan. Needless to say, as the saying goes, the tiger father has no dog, Lü Zhu almost inherited all the advantages of his father, brave and strategic, loyal and courageous, Sun Quan was very important to him when he was alive. Lü Zhi began to build merit from quelling the local rebellion, and then climbed all the way with his achievements, from deputy lieutenant to right general. In the second year of Jianxing (253 AD), after Sun Jun usurped the throne, in order to stabilize Lü Zhao, he was promoted to the rank of general of the Hussars.
The fifth Hussar general: Zhu Ji, who was a famous general Zhu Ran, from the time of Sun Quan, he devoted himself to changing back to the Shi surname, and did not achieve his wish until Sun Liang ascended the throne. In his lifetime, Zhu Ji was very much in the style of his father, and during the period of commanding the army, he was brave and good at war, and climbed his career path by virtue of his military achievements, and was promoted from Jianzhongdu to one of the three shang generals of Eastern Wu. However, before that, Zhu Ji also served as a hussar general for several years. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms? According to the biography of Zhu Ji, in the second year of Taiping (257 AD), Zhu Ji was promoted to the rank of general of the Hun Horse.
The sixth Hussar general: Sun Kai, who was the son of Sun Shao, the general of Eastern Wu Zhenbei. In the first year of The Celestial Seal (276 AD), Sun Kai was promoted by Sun Hao to the rank of General of the Hussars. However, Sun Kai soon surrendered to the Western Jin Dynasty for fear of persecution by Sun Hao.
The seventh Hussar general: Zhu Xuan, who was the grandson of the former Hussar general Zhu Zhao of Eastern Wu and the great-grandson of Sun Quan. There are very few records of Zhu Xuan in the historical records, and his deeds are unknown. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms? According to the biography of Zhu, Zhu Xuan was the son of Zhu Xiong, the son of Zhu Zhao, and during Sun Hao's reign, he was an official to the general of the Hussars.
The eighth Hussar general: Sun Xiu, who was the grandson of Sun Quan's fourth brother Sun Kuang. According to the Sun clan genealogy, Sun Xiu is also very close to Sun Quan, and is Sun Quan's nephew. As a member of the clan, Sun Xiu often commanded troops outside, and Sun Hao was quite jealous of him during his reign, always trying to get rid of them quickly. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms? According to the biography of the Emperor, in the second year of Jianheng (270 AD), Sun Xiu, fearing persecution by Sun Hao, surrendered his family to the Western Jin Dynasty. After Sun Xiu arrived in the Western Jin Dynasty, he was warmly received by Sima Yan, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and named him a general of the Hussars.
