Book of Liu-Song 49: Kuai En

A prime candidate for 16 Kingdoms Warriors.

蒯恩，字道恩，蘭陵承人也。高祖征孫恩，縣差為征民，充乙士，使伐馬芻。恩常負大束，兼倍餘人，每捨芻於地，歎曰：「大丈夫彎弓三石，柰何充馬士！」高祖聞之，即給器仗，恩大喜。自征妖賊，常為先登，多斬首級。既習戰陣，膽力過人，誠心忠謹，未嘗有過失，甚見愛信。於婁縣戰，箭中左目。

Kuai En, styled Dao'en, was a native of Cheng county in Lanling commandary.

When Liu Yu was campaigning against Sun En (~399), the local counties drafted people as servants and porters for the army and had them carry hay for the horses. Sun En often carried large bales of hay, more than twice as much as the other porters, and many times he would throw the hay to the ground and sigh, "A real man ought to be wielding a bow of three 石. Why do I have to haul this horse food?" When Liu Yu heard Kuai En say this, he handed him some weapons and gear, and Kuai En was delighted. He joined Liu Yu's army and helped him to campaign against Sun En's mystic rebels, and during the fighting he was often one of the first soldiers to break through and he took many heads. He became a veteran soldier, and both his strength and courage surpassed others; he was earnest, sincere, loyal, and cautious, and he never once committed a fault or error. Liu Yu deeply appreciated and trusted him.

During the battle at Lou county, Kuai En was struck by an arrow in the left eye.

從平京城，進定京邑，以寧遠將軍領幢。隨振武將軍道規西討，虜桓仙客，克偃月壘，遂平江陵。義熙二年，賊張堅據應城反，恩擊破之，封都鄉侯。從伐廣固，又有戰功。盧循逼京邑，恩戰於查浦，賊退走。與王仲德等追破循別將范宗民於南陵。循既走還廣州，恩又領千餘人隨劉藩追徐道覆於始興，斬之。遷龍驤將軍、蘭陵太守。

During Liu Yu's uprising against Huan Xuan (in 404), Kuai En accompanied Liu Yu to take Jingcheng (Jingkou), then advanced to take the capital. He was appointed as General Who Calms Distant Places, serving Liu Yu directly as part of his immediate soldiers. He followed the General Who Displays Valor, Liu Daogui, on his western campaign against Huan Xuan (in 404-405), where he captured Huan Xianke and took Yanyue Rampart; Jiangling was thus taken.

In the second year of Yixi (406), when the bandit Zhang Jian occupied Yingcheng and rebelled, Kuai En attacked and routed him. He was appointed as the Marquis of Douxiang.

Kuai En accompanied Liu Yu during his campaign against Southern Yan (in 409), where again he won deeds in battle.

When Lu Xun threatened the capital region (in 410), Kuai En fought in the battle at Chapu, and the rebels retreated. Kuai En, Wang Zhongde, and others pursued and routed Lu Xun's general Fan Zongmin at Nanling. When Lu Xun fled back to Guangzhou, Kuai En led more than a thousand troops to follow Liu Fan and pursue the rebel general Xu Daofu to Shixing, where they took Xu Daofu's head. Kuai En was appointed as Dragon-Soaring General and Administrator of Lanling.

高祖西征劉毅，恩與王鎮惡輕軍襲江陵，事在鎮惡傳。

When Liu Yu launched his western campaign against Liu Yi (in 412), Kuai En and Wang Zhen'e led light troops ahead to launch a surprise attack against Jiangling. This is mentioned in further detail in the Biography of Wang Zhen'e.

以本官為太尉長兼行參軍，領眾二千，隨益州刺史朱齡石伐蜀。至彭模，恩所領居前，大戰，自朝至日昃，勇氣益奮，賊破走。進平成都，擢為行參軍，改封北至縣五等男。

Kuai En was now appointed as combined acting Army Advisor to the Grand Commandant and assigned command of two thousand soldiers, and he followed the Inspector of Yizhou, Zhu Lingshi, on his campaign against the Shu region (in 412-413). When the Jin army reached Pengmo, Kuai En's troops were in the vanguard. They fought a great battle against the rebels there, fighting from morning until past noon, but their courage and zeal only increased as the fighting went on, and the rebels were routed and retreated. The Jin army advanced and took Chengdu. Kuai En was appointed as an acting Army Advisor, and his noble title was changed to Marquis of the fifth rank of Beizhi county.

高祖伐司馬休之及魯宗之，恩與建威將軍徐逵之前進。逵之敗沒，恩陳于堤下。宗之子軌乘勝擊恩，矢下如雨，呼聲震地，恩整厲將士，置陣堅嚴。軌屢衝之不動，知不可攻，乃退。高祖善其能將軍持重。江陵平定，復追魯軌於石城。軌棄城走，恩追至襄陽，宗之奔羌，恩與諸將追討，至魯陽關乃還。

When Liu Yu campaigned against Sima Xiuzhi and Lu Zongzhi (in 415), Kuai En and the General Who Establishes Might, Xu Kuizhi, led the vanguard forward. But Xu Kuizhi was defeated and killed, and Sun En's formation was pushed back beneath a dyke. Lu Zongzhi's son Lu Gui pressed the earlier victory to move forward to attack Kuai En; his arrows fell like rain, and the cries of his soldiers shook the ground. But Kuai En kept his generals and soldiers under steady discipline, and they held their formation in strict order. Lu Gui charged their lines several times, but could not break through. When he realized that he could not overcome Kuai En, he fell back. Liu Yu praised Kuai En for his ability to lead generals and hold his lines.

After Jiangling was pacified, Kuai En pursued Lu Gui to Shicheng. Lu Gui abandoned the city and fled, and Kuai En pursued him to Xiangyang. Lu Zongzhi fled to the Qiang (Later Qin), and Kuai En and other generals pursued him, marching as far as Luyang Pass before turning back.

恩自從征討，每有危急，輒率先諸將，常陷堅破陣，不避艱嶮。凡百餘戰，身被重創。高祖錄其前後功勞，封新寧縣男，食邑五百戶。高祖世子為征虜將軍，恩以大府佐領中兵參軍，隨府轉中兵參軍。高祖北伐，留恩侍衛世子，命朝士與之交。恩益自謙損，與人語常呼官位，而自稱為鄙人。撫待士卒，甚有紀綱，眾咸親附之。遷諮議參軍，轉輔國將軍、淮陵太守。世子開府，又為從事中郎，轉司馬，將軍、太守如故。

Whenever Kuai En went on campaigns, he always braved the dangers and perils himself and led his generals from the front. He was always breaking through fortifications and smashing enemy formations, nor did he avoid difficult or dangerous enemy defenses. He fought in more than a hundred battles, and his body suffered numerous wounds. Liu Yu took note of all his achievements and deeds, and he appointed Kuai En as Baron of Xinning county, with a fief of five hundred households.

When Liu Yu appointed his heir (Liu Yifu) as General Who Conquers The Caitiffs (in 416), he appointed Kuai En as acting Army Advisor of the Central Regiment for the Greater Staff, and he retained this position.

When Liu Yu launched his northern campaign against Later Qin, he left Kuai En behind to guard and protect Liu Yifu and ordered the court ministers to correspond with him. Kuai En was modest and self-defacing; he would usually refer to others by their office or title, but would refer to himself as "this humble fellow". He was attentive to and concerned for his officers and soldiers, and he greatly enforced the laws and regulations. Thus his soldiers were all attached to him and felt close to him.

Kuai En was appointed as a Consultant Army Advisor, then transferred to be General Who Upholds The State and Administrator of Huailing. When Liu Yifu operated a Separate Office, Kuai En was appointed as Attendant Officer of the Household Gentleman and a Major under Liu Yifu, while keeping his original positions as General and Administrator.

入關迎桂陽公義真。義真還至青泥，為佛佛虜所追，恩斷後，力戰連日。義真前軍奔散，恩軍人亦盡，為虜所執，死於虜中。子國才嗣。國才卒，子慧度嗣。慧度卒，無子，國除。

Kuai En was sent to welcome the return of the Duke of Guiyang, Liu Yizhen (in 418). When Liu Yizhen was on his way back to the capital, he was pursued by Helian Bobo, who caught up with him at Qingni. Kuai En commanded the rearguard, and he fought hard for several days. Liu Yizhen and the troops at the front of the army all scattered and fled, and Kuai En's soldiers were wiped out. He was captured by the barbarians, and he died as their prisoner.

Kuai En's son Kuai Guocai inherited his titles. When Kuai Guocai passed away, his son Kuai Huidu succeeded him. Kuai Huidu passed away without any sons, so the fief was abolished.

Huayang Guozhi: Nanzhong During Shu-Han

建安十九年，劉先主定蜀，遣安遠將軍、南郡鄧方，以朱提太守、庲降都督治南昌縣。輕財果毅，夷漢敬其威信。方「亡」〔卒〕，先主問代於治中從事建寧李恢，對曰：「「西」〔先〕零之役，趙充國有言：「莫若老臣。」」先主遂用恢為都督，治平夷縣。先主薨後，越嶲叟帥高定元殺郡將「軍」焦璜，舉郡稱王以叛。益州大姓雍闓亦殺太守正昂，更以蜀郡張裔為太守。闓假鬼教曰：「張「裔」府君，如瓠壺，外雖澤，「而」內實粗，殺「之」不可，縛與吳。」於是執送裔於吳。吳主孫權遙用闓為永昌太守；遣故劉璋子闡為益州刺史，處交、益州際。牂柯郡丞朱提朱褒領太守，恣睢，丞相諸葛亮以初遭大喪，未便加兵，遣越嶲太守巴西龔祿住安上縣，遙領郡；從事蜀郡常頎行部南入；以都護李嚴書曉喻闓。闓答曰：「愚聞天無二日，土無二王。今天下派分，正朔有三，遠人惶惑，不知所歸。」其傲慢如此。頎至牂柯，收郡主簿考訊姦。褒因「煞」〔殺〕頎為亂。益州夷復不從闓，闓使建寧孟獲說夷叟曰：「官欲得烏狗三百頭、膺前盡黑，蚊䴘無腦，毒蛇則有腦，而難致也。「斷」〔斲〕木構三丈者三千枚，汝能得不？」夷以為然，皆從闓。「斷」〔斲〕木堅剛，性委曲，高不至二丈，故獲以欺夷。

In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), after Liu Bei had conquered the Shu region, he sent the General Who Maintains Distant Places, Deng Fang of Nan commandary, to serve as Administrator of Zhuti and Commander of Laixiang, with his base at Nanchang county. Deng Fang thought little of wealth, and he was a stalwart and resolute fellow; the tribal peoples and the Han people respected his power and trusted him.

After Deng Fang passed away, Liu Bei asked the Attendant Officer of Internal Affairs, Li Hui of Jianning commandary, who would be best suited to replace him. Li Hui replied, "I can only reply as Zhao Chongguo did when asked who should lead the campaign at Xianling: 'there’s no better choice than me'." So Liu Bei appointed Li Hui as the new Commander, and Li Hui had his base at Pingyi county.

After Liu Bei passed away, a leader of the Sou people of Yuexi commandary, Gao Dingyuan, killed the general of that commandary, Jiao Huang, and raised the commandary in rebellion, calling himself King. A gentry leader from Yizhou commandary, Yong Kai, also killed the Administrator of that commandary, Zheng Ang, who was replaced as Administrator by Zhang Yi of Shu commandary. Claiming magical influence, Yong Kai declared, "Commissioner Zhang is like a gourd kettle; he might look fine on the outside, but within he is actually crude. It would not do to kill him; we should tie him up and send him to Wu." So he arrested Zhang Yi and sent him to Wu. Sun Quan secretly appointed Yong Kai as his Administrator of Yongchang. He also appointed Liu Zhang's son Liu Chan as Inspector of Yizhou and stationed him on the border with Jiaozhou and Yizhou. The Minister of Zangke commandary, Zhu Bao of Zhuti commandary, had been appointed as acting Administrator of Zangke, but he too did as he pleased.

The Prime Minister, Zhuge Liang, felt that since Liu Bei had only recently passed away, the state was in no position to launch a campaign to deal with these threats yet. So he sent the Administrator of Yuexi, Gong Lu of Baxi commandary, to Anshang county so that he could administer that region from afar. He also had the Administrative Officer, Chang Qi of Shu commandary, assume control of affairs in the south, and he had the Protector, Li Yan, write a letter of instructions to Yong Kai. But Yong Kai replied, "I had heard that 'the sky cannot have two suns, nor the earth two masters'. Yet now, the realm is ripped asunder, and three regal calendars are being kept. As such a distant person, I am nervous and confused, not knowing to whom I owe my allegiance." Such was Yong Kai's arrogance. And when Chang Qi arrived at Zangke and detained the Registrar to examine him about wicked behavior, Zhu Bao killed Chang Qi and openly rebelled.

When the tribal peoples of Yizhou commandary began to drift away from Yong Kai, he sent Meng Huo of Jiankang commandary to persuade the Sou and other tribal peoples. Meng Huo told them, "The government is demanding impossible things from you. They want three hundred crow-dogs whose heads and breasts are all black, and they want mosquitoes without essences. Vipers have essences, but it is difficult to acquire. They also demand three thousand branches of 斲 wood that is three zhang in length. Are you able to acquire such things for them?" The tribes believed Meng Huo, so they followed Yong Kai again. 斲 wood is naturally sturdy and firm, and it coils and bends, so it does not grow taller than two zhang; this was why Meng Huo mentioned such things to mislead the tribes.

建興三年春，亮南征。「自安上」由水路〔自安上〕入越嶲。別遣馬忠伐牂柯，李恢向益州。以犍為太守廣漢王士為益州太守。高定元自旄牛、定笮、卑水多為壘守。亮欲俟定元軍眾集合，并討之，軍卑水。定元部曲殺雍闓及士「庶」等，孟獲代闓為主。亮既斬定元，「而」馬忠破牂柯，〔而〕李恢敗於南中。夏五月，亮渡瀘，進征益州。生虜孟獲，置軍中，問曰：「我軍如何？」獲對曰：「恨不相知，公易勝耳。」亮以方務在北，而南中好叛亂，宜窮其詐。乃赦獲，使還合軍，更戰。凡七虜、七赦。獲等心服，夷、漢亦思反善。亮復問獲，獲對曰：「明公，天威也！邊民長不為惡矣。」秋，遂平四郡。改益州為建寧，以李恢為太守，加安漢將軍，領交州刺史，移治味縣。分建寧、越嶲置雲南郡，以呂凱為太守。又分建寧、牂柯置興古郡，以馬忠為牂柯太守。移南中勁卒、青羌萬餘家於蜀，為五部，所當無前，「軍」號〔為〕飛〔軍〕。分其羸弱配大姓焦、雍、婁、爨、孟、量、毛、李為部曲，置五部都尉，號五子。故南人言四姓五子也。以夷多剛很，不賓大姓富豪；乃勸令出金帛，聘策惡夷為家部曲，得多者奕世襲官。於是夷人貪貨物，以漸服屬於漢，成夷漢部曲。亮收其俊傑建寧爨習，朱提孟琰及獲為官屬，習官至領軍，琰，輔漢將軍，獲，御史中丞。出其金、銀、丹、漆，耕牛、戰馬，給軍國之用，都督常用重人。

In the third year of Jianxing (225), Zhuge Liang went on a southern campaign, taking a water route from Anshang into Yuexi commandary. He also sent Ma Zhong to campaign against Zangke commandary, and he sent Li Hui towards Yizhou commandary. He appointed the Administrator of Jianwei, Wang Shi of Guanghan commandary, as Administrator of Yizhou.

Gao Dingyuan had established many defensive ramparts at Maoniu, Dingze, and Beishui. Zhuge Liang wanted to wait for Gao Dingyuan to concentrate his forces so that he could attack all of them at once, so he camped at Beishui. Gao Dingyuan's forces killed Yong Kai, Wang Shi, and others. Meng Huo replaced Yong Kai as the leader of the rebellion. Zhuge Liang then beheaded Gao Dingyuan.

Meanwhile, although Ma Zhong took Zangke commandary, Li Hui was surrounded at Nanzhong.

In summer, the fifth month, Zhuge Liang crossed the Lu River, and he advanced to campaign against Yizhou commandary. He captured Meng Huo, then brought him into his camp and asked him, "What do you think of my army?"

Meng Huo replied, "I regret I had not known about it earlier, Sir, or else I would have defeated you easily."

Zhuge Liang considered that although his chief business would be in the north, the people of Nanzhong enjoyed rebelling and causing chaos, and he wanted to see through their tricks. So he pardoned Meng Huo and sent him back to his own army. The two sides then fought each other, and Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and released him seven times. This caused Meng Huo to earnestly submit, and the tribal peoples and Han people also reconsidered their rebellion. Zhuge Liang once again asked Meng Huo what his intentions were, and Meng Huo now replied, "Sir, you are the scourge of Heaven! We border people shall trouble you no more."

By autumn, the four southern commandaries had been pacified. Yizhou commandary was renamed to Jianning commandary, with Li Hui appointed as its Administrator; he was also appointed as General Who Maintains Han and acting Inspector of Jiaozhou, and he shifted his base to Wei county. Parts of Jianning and Yuexi commandaries were split off to form Yunnan commandary, with Lü Kai appointed as its Administrator. Parts of Jianning and Zangke commandaries were also split off to form Xinggu commandary. Ma Zhong was appointed as Administrator of Zangke.

More than ten thousand families of Green Qiang tribal people and other strong fellows from Nanzhong were moved into the Shu region and organized into five divisions; since no enemy could stand before them, they were called the Flying Army. Others of the defeated rebels were organized into the great clans of Nanzhong: Jiao, Yong, Lou, Cuan, Meng, Liang, Mao, and Li. These were organized under the command of the five Commandants, called the Five Lords. This was what the people of Nanzhong referred to when they talked about the Four Clans and the Five Lords. Since many of the tribal peoples were obstinate and not willing to enrich these great clans, the local Prefects were encouraged to distribute gold and silks and develop plans to persuade the stubborn people to organize themselves into the family divisions, with many of them securing conspicuous hereditary offices. This caused the tribal peoples to begin craving fine products, gradually bringing them under the control of Han, until they became Han subjects.

Zhuge Liang recruited several particular talented people: Cuan Xi of Jianning commandary, Meng Yan of Zhuti commandary, and Meng Huo became his subordinates. Cuan Xi rose in office as high as General Who Leads The Army; Meng Yan became General Who Maintains Han; Meng Huo became Middle Minister to the Imperial Secretary.

Gold, silver, cinnabar, and lacquer were taken from Nanzhong, plow oxen and war horses were used to provide for the needs of the army and the state, and the Commanders often used the local people.

李恢卒後，以蜀郡太守犍為張翼為都督。翼持法嚴，不得殊俗和。夷帥劉冑反，徵翼，以馬忠為代。忠未至，翼脩攻戰方略、資儲。群下懼。翼曰：「吾方臨戰場，豈可以絀退之故，廢公家之務乎？」忠至，承以滅冑。「蜀賜翼爵關內侯。」忠在南，柔遠能「爾」〔邇〕，甚垂惠愛，官至鎮南大將軍。卒後，南人為之立祠，水旱禱之。以蜀郡張表為代，加安南將軍。又以犍為楊「義」〔羲〕為參軍，副貳之。表後，以南郡閻宇為都督，南郡霍弋為參軍。弋甚善參毗之禮，遂代宇為監軍、安南將軍。撫和異俗，為之立法施教，輕重允當，夷晉安之。及晉世，因仍其任。時交趾不附，假弋節遙領交州刺史，得以便宜選用長吏。今官和解夷人及適罰之，皆依弋故事。弋卒，子在「龔」〔襲〕領其兵，和諸姓。

After Li Hui passed away, the Administrator of Shu commandary, Zhang Yi (Bogong), was appointed as Commander. Zhang Yi was severe in enforcing the laws, and he could not maintain peace in the region. The tribal leader Liu Zhou rebelled. Zhang Yi was ordered back to the capital, and Ma Zhong was appointed as his replacement. However, before Ma Zhong arrived to replace him, Zhang Yi developed military preparations and gathered together supplies. His subordinates were afraid for him because he was doing this. But Zhang Yi told them, "I am in the midst of a battlefield; how could I go off and leave things unprepared here? Wouldn't that be abandoning my duties to the state?" After Ma Zhong arrived, he vanquished Liu Zhou. Shu later appointed Zhang Yi as a Marquis Within The Passes.

During the time that Ma Zhong was in the south, he was kind to distant people and accommodating to nearby people, and he displayed great love and kindness. He rose in office as high as Grand General Who Guards The South. After Ma Zhong passed away, the people of the south raised a shrine to him, and they prayed to him whenever there was flooding or drought.

Zhang Biao of Shu commandary was appointed to succeed Ma Zhong, and he was also appointed as General Who Maintains The South. Yang Xi of Jianwei commandary was appointed as an Army Advisor to assist Zhang Biao.

After Zhang Biao, Yan Yu of Nan commandary was appointed as the new Commander, with Huo Yi of Nan commandary as his Army Advisor. This Huo Yi was an excellent assistant, and so he succeeded Yan Yu as General Who Directs The Army and General Who Maintains The South. He worked to resolve divergent customs, and he established laws for the people and educated them. Both light and heavy things became abundant, and the tribal peoples and the Jin (ethnic Han) people were secure. When Shu-Han was succeeded by the Jin dynasty, Huo Yi was kept on in the same role. At that time, since Jiaozhi had not submitted, Huo Yi was granted authority as acting Inspector of Jiaozhou to govern it from afar, and he was able to select and appoint his own chief officials. Even now (~350 AD), the local officials are tolerant with the tribal peoples and lenient in punishing them, following the example of Huo Yi. After Huo Yi passed away, his son Huo Zai took command of his soldiers and established peace with the leading local families.
