Official positions in the Han and Wei dynasties have been changing for a long time, and the hussar general is not a hussar general!
During the Western Han Dynasty, the general officer position system was incomplete, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty improvised and respected Wei Qing as a general.
Hou Yong liked Huo Qubing and felt that the hussar general was inferior to the general, so he specially ordered the hussar general to be equal to the general. Later, the uncle and nephew won the battle of Mobei, and both increased their Sima to show their favor.
Before Da Sima became an official position in the Han Dynasty, it was actually just a title.
Chariot generals can be added, hussar generals can be added, and whatever the emperor likes can be added.
With the changes of the times, Da Sima became an official position and ranked above all officials.
"Historical Records": The order was given to the hussar general Zhilu and the general. Since then, the generals have retired, and the hussars have become increasingly expensive. Many of General Ju's old friends went to serve as hussars, and they often got officers and titles, but Ren An refused.
In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the generals in Liu Xiu's period were the least valuable, and those with more seniority were named + generals, such as Zhu You, the general of Jianyi, Gai Yan, the general of Huya, Geng Yan, the general of Jianwei, etc.
Later, when Liu Xiu elected the Grand Sima, everyone recommended Wu Han and Jing Dan.
Liu Xiu favored Wu Han. He used the old system of the Western Han Dynasty as an excuse and said that the hussar general and the great Sima were equal.
It can be seen that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hussar General was second only to Da Sima, but higher than the General. Even according to Liu Xiu's words, the hussar general is equal to the great commander.
With the death of the founding hero of the country, the Eastern Han Dynasty not only had no great Sima, but also no great cavalry generals, so the great generals were respected by the people.
"Book of the Later Han: Biography of Jingdan" states that when the emperor ascended the throne, he used prophecies and prophecies to pacify Di General Sun Xian to lead the army, which displeased the public. Those who could be promoted to the rank of Great Sima were recommended by the ministers to be Wu Han and Dan. The emperor said: "General Jing is the general of Beizhou. However, General Wu has the honor of establishing great strategies, and he also killed Miao Youzhou and Xie Shangshu, which is a great achievement. The old system of hussar generals is also the same as the chief minister." "So Wu Han was appointed as the Grand Sima, and Bai Dan was appointed as the General of the Hussars.
Let’s not talk about the early Eastern Han Dynasty, but let’s take the Tang Dynasty, which was a mature institution.
The generals of the hussars are from the first rank, and those who are parallel to them are the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, the prince and Taishi, the prince and Taifu, the prince and Taibao, the heir king, the county king and the prince. '
What is the position of the first-grade military attache?
Li Shimin's exclusive Tiance general.
He is a second-grade military attache and a general of the auxiliary country.
In the Song Dynasty, he was a first-grade military attache and also a hussar general.
The first rank is Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Prime Minister, Young Master, Young Master, Shaobao, Prince, Shangshu Ling, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Shizhong, Zhongshu Ling, etc.
Therefore, during the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, how could it be said that hussar generals were lower than generals?
Under the Liu Che system of the Western Han Dynasty, the hussar general and the general had the same honor.
Under the Liu Xiu system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the hussar general had the same respect as the great Sima, and was higher than the general.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Hussars General was second only to General Tiance, and was actually the head of the military attache.
In the Song Dynasty, the hussar general was the head of the military attache.
Ji Han belongs to a new dynasty. It is not appropriate to use Cao Wei to describe the official positions of Shu Han. Each dynasty has different official positions.
Not to mention that Cao Wei did not have a prime minister, the size of the towns was different from that of Shu Han, and the left general and the right general were also ranked high and low.
During the war, Han, Wei, and Wu were all grass-roots, immature dynasties, and their official systems were different. Different countries and different dynasties have different levels of official positions due to the monarch's preference. It is meaningless to compare the level of a single official position because they are constantly changing.
The typical example is the three levels of prefectures, counties and counties in the Han and Wei dynasties. By the middle and late Tang Dynasty, roads replaced states and prefectures replaced counties. Then it cannot be said that the status of Taoism in Tang Dynasty was higher than that of Zhou Dynasty in Han Dynasty!
