Zhou Mu was an official name from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty in ancient China. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were thirteen prefectures in the world, and each state established a thorn history. In the first year of the Han Dynasty (8 BC), Emperor Suihe of Hancheng changed the history of assassination to Zhou Mu. Post-abandonment is impermanent. During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, that is, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he set up another prefecture and raised his status, ranking above the county and holding the power of a state. Among them, as far as the Jingzhou Mu mentioned in this article is concerned, Jingzhou can be described as a place where soldiers must fight in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, for example, after the Battle of Chibi, the counties of Jingzhou were divided between the three major forces of Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao. Therefore, the status of Jingzhou Mu in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty was naturally very important. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, since Liu Biao, there were eight Jingzhou pastors. So, the question is, in addition to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, who are the other seven people?
Jingzhou Mu: Liu Biao
In the first year of Chuping (190), Wang Rui of Jingzhou was killed by Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo sent Liu Biao to succeed him. After Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he entered Yicheng on a single horse and conspired with the people of Yanzhong Lu County, Such as Ku Liang, Ku Yue, and Cai Mao of Xiangyang. On this basis, Liu Biao controlled the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County. In the third year of Chuping (192), Dong Zhuo was killed, and the rest of Li Dai and Guo Feng entered Chang'an. In October, Liu Biao sent emissaries to pay tribute to the dynasty, and Li Dai sent the Yellow Gate Attendant Zhong Xuan to pay tribute to Liu Biao as the general of Zhennan and The Pastor of Jingzhou, and was made the Marquis of Wu. From 192 AD to his death in 208 AD, Liu Biao ran Jingzhou for more than 10 years, and although he failed to expand his territory, he held a state in the late Eastern Han Dynasty when the masses were chasing the Central Plains, which was also an important embodiment of his ability.
Jingzhou Mu: Liu Bei
In the "Story of Wei Wu", it is recorded that Jingzhou stabbed Shi Chun, with a high heart and a deep mind.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhi, and the Biography of the Ancestors records that "the Ancestor Qi was the Assassin of Jingzhou, and he marched south to the four counties. ...... Qi fell ill and died, and the group pushed the first lord to be Jingzhou Mu. ”
From this, it is very obvious that after the death of Liu Biao, the mu of Jingzhou, his sons Liu Chun and Liu Qi successively served as the assassins of Jingzhou instead of the post of Jingzhou Mu. In 209 AD, after Liu Qi's death, Liu Bei served as the pastor of Jingzhou. After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei led his people to conquer the four southern counties of Jingzhou, wuling taishou jinxuan, Changsha taishou Han xuan, Guiyang taishou Zhao Fan, and Lingling taishou Liu Du all surrendered. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Zhou Yu died of illness, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to borrow Jingzhou Jiangling (南郡) from Sun Quan, so he took possession of the five counties of Jingzhou.
Jingzhou Mu: Sun Quan
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Guan Yu, who was guarding Jingzhou, launched the Battle of Xiangfan. Taking advantage of the background of Guan Yu's main northern expedition, Lü Meng's soldiers attacked the three counties of Nan County, Lingling, and Wuling under Liu Bei's forces without bloodshed; soon after, the Eastern Wu generals Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran also captured Guan Yu. In the same year, Cao Cao appointed Sun Quan as the General of the Hussars, the False Festival and the Pastor of Jingzhou, and the Marquis of Nanchang. Sun Quan sent the lieutenant Liang Yu to pay tribute to the imperial court, and then sent Zhu Guang and others who had been captured back to the north to show goodwill. Therefore, for Sun Quan, after capturing Jingzhou, he also took the official position of Jingzhou Mu.
Jingzhou Mu: Lu Xun
After Eastern Wu secretly attacked Jingzhou and killed Guan Yu, Liu Bei was naturally very angry, so he led an army to attack Eastern Wu to avenge Guan Yu. In July of the first year of Zhang Wu's reign (221), three months after Liu Bei became emperor, in order to avenge Guan Yu, he attacked Sun Quan of Eastern Wu with his troops, and the momentum was strong. After Sun Quan failed to make peace, he decided to claim a vassal to Cao Wei on the one hand and avoid a two-front battle, and on the other hand, he appointed Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief to lead the army to fight. After Lu Xun and Liu Bei held each other for seven or eight months, they finally defeated the Shu Han army in the Area of Yiling. After the Battle of Yiling, Lu Xun was made an auxiliary general by Sun Quanjiabai and led Jingzhou Mu, that is, he was renamed marquis of Jiangling. Beginning with Lu Xun, the post of Jingzhou Mu during the Three Kingdoms period was mainly held by The Wenchen Wu of Eastern Wu.
Jingzhou Mu: Sun Qiang
Sun Qi was a powerful vassal in the history of Eastern Wu, and after taking power, he eliminated the great Sima Tengyin and the general Lü Zhao, who opposed him, and then promoted him to the rank of grand general and the Marquis of Yongning. After Sun Xiu ascended the throne, Sun Xiu gave Sun Xiu a favor to show his loyalty. Sun Xiu then decreed that Sun Qiu be made a general and a leader of Jingzhou. In December of the first year of Yong'an (January 259), Sun Qiang was hunted and killed by Sun Xiudingji at the age of twenty-eight.
Jingzhou Mu: Lu Kai
Lu Kai (198-269), courtesy name Jingfeng. A native of Wu County, Wu County (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu). During the Three Kingdoms period, he was a heavy minister of the late Wu Kingdom and the nephew of Lu Xun. Emperor Wujing succeeded Sun Xiu to the throne, and Bai Lu Kai was made the general of Zhengbei, False Festival, and Lingyu Prefecture. Sun Hao ascended the throne, moved to the post of Grand General of Zhenxi, the Governor of Baqiu, and then led jingzhou mu and became the Marquis of Jiaxing. For Lu Kai, he was also a famous minister in the history of Eastern Wu, and his final official was Zuo Cheng Xiang, which could be compared with Lu Xun's original position.
Jingzhou Mu: Lu Kang
Lu Kang (226–274), courtesy name Youjie, was a native of Wu County, Wu County (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu). During the Three Kingdoms period, he was a famous general of the State of Wu and the second son of Lu Xun, the chancellor of the State of Wu. In the first year of Wu Fenghuang (272), Lu Kang repelled the Attack of the Jin general Yang Hu at the Battle of Xiling and killed the rebel general Xiling Governor Buxuan. Later, he worshiped Sima Da and Jingzhou Mu and died in office at the age of 49. Thus, for the eight Jingzhou pastors in the history of the Three Kingdoms, three came from the Lu Xun family.
Jingzhou Mu: Tao Jun
Tao Jun was not only the last Jingzhou pastor of Eastern Wu, but also the last Jingzhou pastor of the Three Kingdoms period. Tao Jun was the younger brother of Eastern Wu Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Tao Huang. As a general of Eastern Wu, initially serving as the governor of Xuling and other official positions, Tao Jun was moved by the Eastern Wu emperor Sun Hao to be the general of Zhennan and the pastor of Jingzhou, and was defeated by the Jin army. In 280 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Eastern Wu, ending the Three Kingdoms era once and for all. As for the deeds and endings of Mu Taojun in Jingzhou, there is a lack of detailed records in the historical data.
