History vs. fiction

The specific manner in which Shi Hui returned to the state of Jin differs.

  • The Records of the Grand Historian, Chapter 'The Hereditary House of Jin', states that Jin sent Wei Shouyu to feign surrender to Qin, and Qin sent Shi Hui to Wei, whereupon 'they seized Hui and brought him back to Jin' (forcibly arresting him). However, in the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, Chapter 49, it is recorded that after Shi Hui and Shouyu crossed the river, Zhao Shuo led troops to welcome them, and 'escorted Shi Hui together with Shouyu into Jin', without mentioning any arrest.
