Chapter 15 of the Eastern Wu Chapter: The Zhang in the "Four Surnames of Wu" is not a member of the Zhang Zhao clan, so why did they not play much during the Three Kingdoms?
Many people believe that the Zhang clan in Wu's four surnames is Zhang Zhao or is more or less related to Zhang Zhao. In fact, Zhang Zhao is a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, although his family has many marriages and interactions with the Eastern Wu royal family, he can still be said to be an outsider, and after the later political bloodshed, Zhang Zhao's descendants were almost wiped out. It was not until the Eastern Jin Dynasty that Zhang Zhao's great-grandson "emerged".
In this article, we will talk about the Zhang clan in Wu County, and the representative figures are Zhang Wen and Zhang Yu and others.
Let's start with Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen's father was Zhang Yun, who was not the same Zhang Yun under Liu Biao, who was a famous soldier in Wu County, who had served Sun Quan but died of illness soon after.
Zhang Wen was very famous at a young age, and even Gu Yong said that Zhang Wen's talent is unmatched today, and after an exchange between Zhang Wen and Sun Quan Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao praised him. Zhang Wen once sent an envoy to Shu Han, and his diplomatic ability was admired by Shu Han ministers. However, there were also certain risks in sending a foreign mission abroad, and Sun Quan was very tired of Zhang Wen's admiration for The politics of shu Han, so he wanted to strike zhang Wen and put Zhang Wen under house arrest in Wu County, and eventually Zhang Wen died under house arrest.
Zhang Wen has three sisters, one of whom is married to Gu Cheng, mentioned before, and will not be repeated in this article.
Zhang Wen had two younger brothers, namely Zhang Qi and Zhang Bai, and due to Zhang Wen's involvement, Zhang Qi's fate after his dethronement was unknown, and Zhang Bai died in exile after being exiled. Earlier we mentioned that Zhang Bai married Lu Ji's daughter. As a result, the marriage of a generation of people with the Lu family and the Gu family also surfaced.
Let's talk about Zhang Yu again.
Zhang Yu was already very famous when he was young, and after successive promotions, he held the position of Dahongxu. In the first year of Baoding, Zhang Yu sent an envoy to the Jin Dynasty with the task of connecting the north and the south. After Zhang Yu came to Luoyang, he was harassed by Jia Chong, Pei Xiu and others, but he was also praised by Yang Hu and He Zhen, and Zhang Yu died on the way back to China.
At that point, the che general Jia Chong, Shang Shu Ling Pei Xiu, and Shi Zhongxun xun were proud of what they did not know and could not bend. Shang Shu servant shoots Yang Hu, Shang Shu He Zhen and knots the ribbon. - "Wu Lu"
Zhang Yu had a son named Zhang Han (張汉), the character Ji Ying. This "Zhang Laosi" was a famous literary scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty, and was compared to "Ruan Yuan". During the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, Zhang Han was given the title of Grand Sima Dong Cao (曹掾). During the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Zhang Han did not want to suffer turmoil in the Central Plains, so he returned to his hometown.
