Guanqiu Jian vs Wen Qin

Guanqiu Jian was appointed Inspector of Yu Province, a key regional post. He was known for his administrative competence and military experience. This position gave him the resources to later challenge the Sima clan's growing power.

Guanqiu Jian led a Wei expedition against Goguryeo in Korea. He captured the capital and forced King Dongcheon to flee. This campaign extended Wei influence into the Korean peninsula and demonstrated his military capabilities.

Guanqiu Jian and Wen Qin rebelled against Sima Shi in Shouchun. They issued a manifesto condemning Sima's usurpation. Sima Shi led a campaign against them. Guanqiu Jian was killed in battle, and the rebellion was crushed, leading to his posthumous disgrace.

Wen Qin and Guanqiu Jian rebelled against Sima Shi in Shouchun. They opposed Sima's usurpation of power. Sima Shi personally led forces against them. The rebellion collapsed when Guanqiu Jian was killed and Wen Qin fled to Wu, leaving his family behind.

Wen Qin joined Zhuge Dan's rebellion against Sima Zhao, bringing his forces to Shouchun. He had previously rebelled against Sima Shi in 255 and fled to Wu. His participation added experienced troops to the rebellion but also created internal tensions.

During the siege of Shouchun, Zhuge Dan suspected Wen Qin of disloyalty and executed him. This act demoralized the defenders and weakened the rebellion. Wen Qin's sons then defected to Sima Zhao, contributing to the rebellion's collapse.
