步骘 (zhì), the character Zishan. A native of Huaiyin, Xiapi State, Xuzhou (Huaiyin District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu).

Later generations commented: Buqi's character is elegant and deep, his mood is invisible, and he can bend his will and humiliate himself.

In the vernacular, that is: Bu Qi can bend and stretch, his mood is invisible, and he is a character.

His achievements in history are: the reconstruction of the city of Guangzhou, officially named "Panyu City". At that time, people called this place "Buqi City".

Buqi is a man who speaks with strength, and when he is weak, he can endure humiliation. Here's a little story to illustrate this:

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Bu Qi moved to Jiangdong to avoid chaos, to Jiangdong after living a difficult life, alone, lonely, and later with the same age of Guangling Wei Jing (Ziqi, later official to Wu Guoshangshu) became a good friend, they planted melons during the day to support themselves, and studied hard at night, studied hard at night, studied hard, and strived to improve. Buqi learned a wide range of knowledge and skills, and read all kinds of books.

At that time, Jiao Jiao (who had served as the commander of Zhengqiang, known as Jiao Zhengqiang) was a wealthy family in the county, and raised a group of doormen, who were indulgent and unreasonable, tyrannical, and misbehaving. Bu Qi and Wei Jing were making a living on Jiaojiao's territory, mixing bowls of rice, and the two were afraid of being bullied by Jiaojiao's doormen, so they went to see Jiaojiao with famous posts and melon and fruit gifts. After arriving at the mansion, Jiao Jiao was sleeping indoors, and the two could only wait outside.

After a while, Wei Jing got impatient and wanted to leave. Bu Qiu disagreed, and stopped: "The purpose of our coming is because we are afraid that other people's power will be strong, and we want to visit them. Now that he leaves without seeing anyone, he can only show that he is high, but he is disgusted and has a grudge with him, which is not good. ”

After a long time, Jiao Jiao woke up, and when he opened the window and saw them, he asked them to lay out a seat outside, and let them sit outside, and he sat in the house. Wei Jing felt ashamed again, but Buqi talked and laughed freely and leisurely. Jiao Jiao arranged for the two of them to eat, and the big table in front of him was full of delicacies, but he served the rice on a small plate for Bu Qi. Wei Jing, just a few vegetables.

Wei Jing felt very embarrassed, depressed, difficult to swallow, and couldn't eat; Bu Qi ate in a big gulp, ate the food cleanly, and then said goodbye to Wei Jing Jiaojiao and left.

Afterwards, Wei Jing questioned Bu Qi: "How can you stand this kind of insult?" But Bu Qi said, "We ourselves are lowly people, and it is proper for our master to treat us with low treatment, so what is there to be ashamed of?" ”

This story shows that Buqi knows that others respect and respect him, not to ask for it, let alone serve a stinky shelf that can work, but to rely on strength and ability to speak.

Later, Bu Qi was promoted by Sun Quan to Jiaozhou Assassin History. Cangwu guarded Wu Ju too much and did not obey Buqi's dispatch, and Buqi set up a bureau to kill Wu Ju, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. Moreover, Buqi also exterminated Yi Liao and Qian Bo one by one, showing his iron-fisted side. It can be seen that Buqi is not a "soft persimmon".

General Comments:

Buqi has a generous temperament, is very popular, loyal to the country, and has access to governance. Moody and angry, always very respectful both internally and externally. When Buqi taught his protégés, his hands were not loose, and his clothes and dwellings were as simple as those of ordinary Confucian students. But the luxurious clothes of his wife and concubine made him ridiculed by the people of the time. This is the same as Liu Yu.

In general, Bu Qi is a talent at the state and county level, and Gongsun Kang doesn't particularly need him. But because he was on the way, and he was a member of the same clan as a foot trainer, he couldn't be let go.

Xiapi City is the seat of Xuzhou County, and Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is here. In later generations, it was the place of Gupi Town, Suining County, Jiangsu Province.

Eight Views of Xiapi: (all in the territory of Gupi Town)

Yiwu exchanges Surabaya pass, and the peak is alone and towers in the sky.

The bridge is three into the mud, and the sheep temple hears the night bell.

The ground is full of rainbows, and the fishing boats shine in the evening.

The night moon of Lingtai is still there, but the scenery of Guanhu Lake is different.

Because Xiapi City is where Tao Qian is, Gongsun Kang doesn't want to meet him. Besides, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, so Gongsun Kang only sent personnel to survey the terrain, and he did not go to Xiapi City.

For Buqi's solicitation, Sun Qian and Guan Hai were sent. The plan is to salute first and then soldier.

Because Bu Qi is a poor boy now, Sun Qian went to see him with gifts. directly explained that he was recruited on behalf of Sun Kang, the shepherd of Qingzhou.

The ancients were inseparable from their homeland. If it weren't for Cao Cao's later massacre of Xuzhou, it is estimated that Zhuge Liang, Xu Sheng, Buqi and others would not have left Xuzhou. Qingzhou is next to Xuzhou, and it is more acceptable to say that Qingzhou Mu is more acceptable than to go to the cold and remote Liaodong.

Bu Qi agreed, because Gongsun Kang is now a national hero, his reputation is still very large, and his image is also very positive.

But Bu Qi was so angry that he couldn't tell whether he happily agreed or reluctantly.

Guan Hai is the backhand arranged by Gongsun Kang, if Bu Qi does not agree to go to Qingzhou, Guan Hai will kidnap him. Bu Qi is just a literati, and he definitely can't withstand Guan Hai's bravery. However, there is a difference between compulsory participation in the revolution and voluntary participation in the revolution, and Gongsun Kang still hopes that all talents can voluntarily rally around him.
