Zhuge Jing

257-284), courtesy name Zhongsi, was a Chinese military general and politician of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China.

After his father's death in April 258, Zhuge Jing continued to stay in Wu where he served as a general until the state's demise in May 280 which ended the Three Kingdoms.

Not much is known of Zhuge Jing's early life apart from his family being from Yangdu County (present-day Yishui, Shandong Province), Langya Commandery.

In 264, Sun Hao ascended the throne in Wu, and by February 266, the state of Shu Han was conquered and Wei was replaced by the Sima Jin Dynasty.

As Sun Hao moved to Wuchang, he left Zhuge Jing and another general, Ding Gu (丁固), to defend Jianye.

However, Jing beheaded the envoy, and together with Ding Gu, went out to battle Shi Dan at Niutun (牛屯; southeast of present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu).

[3] In December 268 or January 269,[4] Zhuge Jing and Wu's Grand Marshal Ding Feng marched from Que Slope (芍陂; south of present-day Shou County, Anhui) and attacked Jin at Hefei, which was defended by Shi Bao.

They besieged Wang Hun's subordinate, Zhang Qiao (張喬), at Yanghe (杨荷; north of present-day He County, Anhui), who surrendered due to being outnumbered.

As Jing had predicted, Zhang Qiao then rebelled, and the Jin forces decimated Wu at Banqiao (版橋; south of present-day He County, Anhui).

He and Shen Ying followed Zhang Ti to resist the invading Jin forces at Niuzhu (牛渚; in present day, Ma'anshan, Anhui).

When reports of a strong Jin army arriving reached the generals, the two rushed in a panic to inform Zhang Ti about the situation.
