Rebellions in Southern Kuaiji, Poyang and Xindu 會稽南部、鄱陽、新都之亂

In the 5th month of the 2nd year of Taiping (257), when Wei's Senior General Who Conquers the East Zhuge Dan held the city of Shouchun, declared himself a subject of Wu and sent hostages, Wu in the 6th month gave Wen Qin, Tang Zi, Quan Duan and others 30,000 infantry and cavalry to rescue him, and in the 7th month Sun Chen led his forces to halt at Huoli and had Zhu Yi lift the siege. In the 8th month a revolt broke out in the southern part of Kuaiji Commandery and killed the Chief Commandant, and the people of Poyang and Xindu rose in disorder. The Commandant of Justice Ding Mi, the Colonel of Infantry Zheng Zhou and the general Zhongli Mu led troops against them. Records, Wu 3 §16–17

Zhongli Mu, after serving as Administrator of Nanhai, Chief Clerk to the Chancellor and Director of Justice, had become Prefect of the Palace Secretariat when the mountain people of the three commanderies of Jian'an, Poyang and Xindu rose in revolt, and he went out as Army Supervisor Envoy and pacified them. The rebel leaders Huang Luan, Chang Ju and others gave up their followers to fill the ranks of the army, and Zhongli Mu was enfeoffed as Marquis of Qin Village and appointed Colonel of Elite Cavalry. The southern part of Kuaiji Commandery became Jian'an Commandery in the 3rd year of Yong'an (260). Records, Wu 15 §79Records, Wu 3 §35

In his assessment of this volume Chen Shou said that the Shanyue were fond of rebellion, hard to pacify and easily stirred, so that Sun Quan had no leisure to defend against the outside and humbled his words toward Wei, and that Zhongli Mu and the others were all subjects who quelled disorders within the state and brought peace to its territory.
