Tao Jun 陶濬

In the summer of the 3rd year of Tianji (279), Guo Ma, who had been Commander of the Private Troops (buqu du) under Xiu Yun, Administrator of Hepu, rebelled together with the private-troop officers He Dian, Wang Zu and others, and attacked and killed Yu Shou, Area Commander of Guang Province. Guo Ma styled himself Commander-in-Chief of the Military Affairs of Jiao and Guang Provinces and General Who Calms the South (annan jiangjun). Sun Hao made Teng Xun General Who Guards the South, concurrently Governor of Guang Province, and had him lead 10,000 men by the eastern route to attack Guo Ma, but Teng Xun ran into Wang Zu at Shixing and could not advance.

When Guo Ma killed Liu Lüe, Administrator of Nanhai, and drove out Xu Qi, Inspector of Guang Province, Sun Hao also sent Tao Jun, Area Commander of Xuling, with 7,000 men by the western route, and ordered Tao Huang, Governor of Jiao Province, to put his own forces and the troops of Hepu, Yulin and other commanderies in order and attack Guo Ma together with the eastern and western armies. Records, Wu 3 §76

That winter Jin sent the Grand General Who Guards the East Sima Zhou toward Tuzhong, the General Who Pacifies the East Wang Hun and the Inspector of Yang Province Zhou Jun toward Niuzhu, the General Who Establishes Might Wang Rong toward Wuchang, the General Who Pacifies the South Hu Fen toward Xiakou and the General Who Guards the South Du Yu toward Jiangling, had the General Who Soars Like a Dragon Wang Jun and the General Who Broadens Martial Might Tang Bin sail east down the Yangtze, and made the Grand Commandant Jia Chong Grand Commander. Tao Jun reached Wuchang, but on hearing that the northern armies had come out in force he halted and did not advance. Records, Wu 3 §78

In the spring of the 4th year of Tianji (280), wherever Wang Jun and Tang Bin went, resistance fell apart like earth crumbling and tiles shattering, and no one stood in their way; Du Yu beheaded Wu Yan, Area Commander of Jiangling, and Wang Hun beheaded the Chancellor Zhang Ti, the Administrator of Danyang Shen Ying and others. On the day bingyin of the 3rd month, several hundred of the close attendants within the palace knocked their heads on the ground and begged that Cen Hun be put to death, and Sun Hao, frightened and bewildered, complied. Records, Wu 3 §81–82

On the day wuchen, when Tao Jun returned from Wuchang, Sun Hao at once summoned him and asked for news of the naval forces. Tao Jun replied that the ships of Shu were all small, and that if he now had 20,000 soldiers fighting from large ships he could easily crush them. A force was therefore assembled and Tao Jun was given the tally and axe of authority, to set out the next day, but that night the men all fled. Records, Wu 3 §83

Meanwhile Wang Jun was about to arrive downstream, and Sima Zhou and Wang Hun had both drawn near the border. Adopting the plan of the Superintendent of the Imperial Household Xue Ying, the Prefect of the Palace Writers Hu Chong and others, Sun Hao sent envoys separately to Wang Jun, Sima Zhou and Wang Hun with letters of surrender, and on the day renshen Wang Jun, the first to arrive, accepted Sun Hao's surrender. Chen Shou's main text does not record what became of Tao Jun after this. Records, Wu 3 §83 · 85
