The various agrarian rebel generals who are …

The various agrarian rebel generals who are resisting Jin rule, whether ethnically Wu Hu or Han, often choose to come under Liu Yuan's Han banner as years pass.

Chief among these are the Han general Wang Mi and the Jie general Shi Le (both of whom had declared loyalty to Han Zhao in 307), who generally only nominally submit to Liu's orders while maintaining separate power structures but who also so appear to genuinely respect and fear Liu.

As for troops under his own control, Liu largely entrusts them to his son Liu Cong the Prince of Chu and his nephew Liu Yao the Prince of Shi'an.

The four generals, while unable to hold cities, are generally able to rove throughout northern and central China unimpeded by Jin forces, defeating most Jin generals who oppose them.
