晉高祖為明宗將，署為帳中小校。 When Jin Gaozu was still a general under Mingzong, he appointed Jihong a junior officer in his personal guard.

未幾，從晉高祖討蜀，蜀人守劍門，領部下兵逾越險阻，從他道出於劍門之左掩擊之，殺守兵殆盡。 Before long he joined Jin Gaozu's campaign against Shu. The Shu forces held Jianmen Pass. Hui led his men over treacherous ground by another route, struck from the left of the pass, and killed nearly all the defenders.

會晉祖班師，朝廷以暉為澶州刺史。 When the Jin founder withdrew his army, the court appointed Hui prefect of Chanzhou.
