Life of the characters

Avoid chaos in Jingzhou

Du's great grandfather, Duane and Dugan, were very famous in the previous generation. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Du raided Jingzhou to avoid chaos. Liu Biao received him according to the etiquette of the guests. Fanqin, a native of Tongjun County, showed his talent to Liu Biao many times. Du Chong told him: "the reason why I come here with you is to bend down like a dragon in the deep lake and wait for the opportunity to fly like a Phoenix. Can we say that Liuzhou animal husbandry association is a master to bring things out of order, and exhort the elderly to attach themselves to him? You are not my friend if you constantly show your talents. I'm going to break up with you! " Fanqin said passionately, "please let me accept your instruction." Du then went south to Changsha.

The battle of West Hubei

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Cao welcomed emperor Xiandi of Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, as the capital of Xuchang. Du ran back to his hometown, and Cao Cao appointed him magistrate of xi'e county. Xie county is close to the southern border, where banditry is rampant. At that time, the county officials gathered the people to guard the city and were unable to engage in agricultural production. The fields are barren, the people are poor, and the warehouses are empty. Du Chong knew that he should be kind to the people, so he sent the old and weak people to work in the fields in his hometown, leaving strong men to defend the county. The officials and the people were very happy. In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), mu Liubiao of Jingzhou sent 10000 soldiers to attack xi'e, so Du Chong called together more than 50 officials and people who were responsible for guarding the city to make an oath with them. Among them, some relatives who wanted to rescue themselves were sent out of the city at their will, and they all kowtowed to show their desperate service. Du then personally took the bow and stone, leading them to fight together. The officials and the people were so moved that they were willing to give their lives for him. Several hundred of Liu Biao's soldiers were killed, and more than 30 of Du's subordinates were killed, and the remaining 18 were injured, so the bandits were able to enter the city. Du Hai led the wounded officials and people out of the city. Almost all of them died, but none of them rebelled. Du Cong then gathered the fleeing people and moved to Mobi to camp. The officials and people all admired him and followed him as if he had come back to his own home.

Pacify Hanzhong

Later, Zhong Yao, the commander of Sili school, indicated that he was appointed to the military. Later, he was recommended by Xun Yu and was appointed as the Prime Minister of the army. In the 18th year of Jian'an (213), Cao Cao granted the title of Duke Wei and established the state of Wei. Du Xing, Wang can and he Qia were appointed as the vassal general. Wang can's memory is strong and he has a wide range of knowledge, so Cao Cao went out to visit. Wang can accompanied him many times, but he was not as respected as he Qia and Du Xi. Du was summoned by Cao Cao alone until midnight. Wang cansheng was impatient and aggressive. He stood up from his seat and said, "what did Cao Gong say to Du Chong?" He Qia replied with a smile, "do you know everything in the world? You can serve Mr. Cao in the daytime. Do you want to have both of them because you are depressed? " In the 20th year of Jian'an (215), Du Xi changed to lead the prime minister Chang Shi and accompanied Cao Cao in the expedition against Zhang Lu, who was in charge of Hanzhong. The next year, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng and appointed Du Hai as the Duwei of his son-in-law. During this period, more than 80000 people from Hanzhong area were successfully persuaded to move to Luoyang and Yecheng areas. In the 24th year of Jian'an (219), general Xia Houyuan died in Dingjun mountain. The soldiers were very frightened. Du Xing discussed with Guo Huai and Zhang Ying how to stabilize the morale of the army, so he decided to replace Xia Houyuan with Zhang Ying to stabilize the morale of the army. When Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, he chose to stay in Changan. The person in charge of this matter was not suitable. Cao Cao ordered, "if you don't want to take a thousand li horse, why do you rush to look for it elsewhere?" So he appointed Du Chong as the chief of Liufu and stationed in Guanzhong.

Cao Qiao advised Cao

At that time, General Xu you of Guanzhong had an army and refused to belong to Cao Cao. He also had contemptuous words about Cao Cao. Cao Cao was so angry that he planned to attack him first. Many of the ministers admonished him: "we can appease Xu you and fight against the strong enemy together." Cao Cao put his knife across his knee, his face gloomy and unwilling to listen. When Du came in to persuade him, Cao Cao stopped him and said, "I've made up my mind. Please don't say any more." Du said: "if your Highness's idea is right, I will help him finish it. If your Highness's idea is wrong, even if it is decided, I should change it. Your highness stopped me and asked me not to say any more. Why don't you wait for your highness to finish his words? " Cao Cao said: "Xu you despises me, how can you put it aside?" Du said, "what kind of person does your highness think Xu you is?" Cao Cao said: "an ordinary person." Du said: "only the sage can understand the sage, only the sage can understand the sage. How can ordinary people understand unusual people? Now the jackal is in power, but he attacks the fox first. People will say that his highness is avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, attacking is not brave, and retreating is not benevolent. I've heard that the powerful bow and crossbow won't work on the little mouse, and the big clock won't be knocked out of the sound by the thin grass stem. Now, how can a little Xu you be worth your Highness's trouble for his God's power? " Cao Cao said, "good." So he comforted Xu you graciously, and Xu you immediately surrendered to Cao Cao.

promote to a higher office and rank

In the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of Wei king and granted Du xijue the Marquis of Guannei. In the same year, Cao Pi became emperor of the Han Dynasty, and appointed Du Chong as the commander of the army, the grain censor, and the Marquis of Wuping Pavilion. Later, he successively served as governor of military grain law enforcement and minister in the dynasty. In the first year of Taihe (227), Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei and Ming, succeeded to the throne and became the Marquis of Pingyang. The following year, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, launched a northern expedition. General Cao Zhen led the resistance and moved du to attack him as the commander of the general's army. In 231, Cao Zhen passed away and was replaced by Sima Yi. Du Xi also served as his military adviser. Later, Du said he was ill and returned to the imperial court, where he was appointed Taizhong doctor. After his death, he was awarded the posthumous title of marquis Ding.

Character evaluation

Cao Cao: how can the emperor be more powerful if he does not take advantage of Qi? Chen Shou: he Qia, Qing He, Gan Li, Chang Lin, Su ye, Chun Gu, Yang Jun, Wen Cui, Zhi Tong, Zhao Yangang, Yi Du, Pei Qianping, Heng Zhengan. They are all beautiful people in my life. Liu Xianxin: all these people have been living in China and abroad, and he, Du, Zhao and Pei all came from Jingzhou to Cao.

Anecdotes and allusions

Xia Hou Shang was very close to Cao Pi. Du Pai thought that Xia Hou Shang was not a good friend and was not worthy of special treatment, so he told Cao Cao his words. Cao Pi was not happy at first, but later recalled that Du Xi's view was right. It's like this when he tries to persuade you without offending you.
