Soon, the war in the surrounding area of Hedong County began. The white cavalry army attacked Dongyuan, and the high-level army entered the city. The situation in all counties was relatively bad, Shangdang County, and the county magistrates were killed; Hongnong County, Taishou was imprisoned. In Hedong County, Wei Gu and others were ready to raise troops to respond to Gao Gan, but the generals were dispersed and could not be summoned in a hurry. Taishou Du Ji, knowing that the counties would support him, led dozens of his cronies to flee from the county seat and found a strong county town to refuse. The officials and people of all counties in the county gathered to Du Ji one after another to unite and respond. Within a few dozen days, Du Ji gathered more than 4,000 people and horses, and his strength was strong. Wei Gu and Fan Xian took their own soldiers, together with Gao Gan and Zhang Sheng's troops, to attack Duji, but they could not win, and they went to the counties to loot, but they did not gain anything. Soon, Cao Cao's troops arrived, Gao Gan and Zhang Sheng were defeated, and Wei Gu and Fan Xian were killed. At Du Yi's suggestion, Wei Gu and Fan Xian's henchmen were pardoned by Cao Cao and went home to pursue their old jobs. The situation in Hedong County can be regarded as calm.

Hedong County did not experience too serious wars, and settled down early, and the loss of population and property was not large. Du Ji began to exercise his power as a taishou and led the people to resume production.

Du Ji's way of doing politics combines the characteristics of Confucianism and Taoism, which is not only lenient and loving the people, but also quiet and inactive. As far as litigation is concerned, he adheres to Confucius's concept of "there must be no lawsuit", tries his best to reason for the people, does persuasion and mediation work, and takes the trouble to persuade the people involved in litigation to go home to reflect and seek solutions. If you can't be convinced, you can go back to the government and listen to Taishou's reasoning. In this way, the conscience of the people was aroused, and the fathers and elders blamed themselves: "There is such a good man who loves the people, why don't we listen to his teachings?" As a result, there were fewer and fewer disputes and lawsuits among the people, and the society became stable. Historical records are generally brief, and Du Ji's method of settling litigation should be mainly used in general civil litigation. In the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei, the laws and regulations were very severe, and there was naturally another set of drastic methods for vicious criminal cases such as murder, arson, rape, and robbery. Du Ji often went to his subordinate counties to inspect them, and when he found that there were filial sons, virgin women, and shun grandchildren, he ordered them to be exempted from forced labor and encouraged them to work hard and live well.

In terms of agricultural production, Du Yi urged the people to work hard to cultivate and weave, and raise more cattle and horses. Even the trivial things of raising chickens, pigs and dogs, Du Ji is very concerned about and has a charter. The economy of Hedong County soon improved, the people worked hard in farming, had enough food and clothing, and the government also accumulated a large amount of grain and grass.

Solving the problem of eating, Du Yi began to advocate education again. Because in troubled times, military affairs must be discussed, so he summoned young and middle-aged men to engage in military training during the winter farming. In addition, he opened a school and served as a professor to teach Confucian classics, forming a strong cultural atmosphere in the whole county, and the social atmosphere has changed greatly. There is a famous Confucian named Le Xiang in Hedong, who once assisted Du Yi in education. Later, Du Yi recommended Le Xiang to the imperial court as a doctor. Many years later, there were many Confucian scholars in Hedong County, and it is believed that this was the result of Du Ji's indoctrination.

When Han Sui and Ma Chao in Kanxi were in turmoil, the nearby counties of Hongnong and Fengyi all had acts of attachment, while Hedong County was adjacent to Han Sui and Ma Chao's territory, but the people had no dissent and still lived and worked in peace and contentment. Cao Cao's garrison in Puban held on to the enemy for many days, and all the military rations were supplied by a county in Hedong. By the time Cao Cao put down the rebellion and won the victory, there were still more than 200,000 Hu of grain left in Hedong County. Cao Cao was very excited and ordered Du Ji to be commended: "Hedong guards Du Ji too much, and Confucius calls 'Yu, I am inseparable'." 2,000 stone in the increase rank. ”

When Cao Cao conquered Zhanglu in Hanzhong, he sent 5,000 people from Hedong to transport grain, and the people exhorted themselves on the road: "People will inevitably die, but they can't let down our king!" "In the thousands of miles of grain transportation and the arduous battle, not a single one of the 5,000 people fled.

Later, Cao Cao commended: "In the past, Xiao He pacified Guanzhong, and Kou Sui pacified Hanoi, and you also have the same credit as them, and you will be awarded the position of Nayan." However, considering that Hedong County is my important place and the place where my reserves are filled, it is enough to occupy it to control the whole country, so I have to trouble you to go there to sit down. ”

At that time, Du Ji not only loved the people like a son and was good at government, but also did not shy away from the powerful and had noble morals. Liu Xun, the general of Pingyu, was Cao Cao's confidant, and no one in the imperial court was not afraid of him and did not follow him. Liu Xun knew that Hedong was rich and rich in jujubes, so he wrote to Du Ji to send him some dates, but Du Yi politely refused in his reply. Later, Liu Xun was executed for rebellion, and his home was also raided, Cao Cao saw Du Ji's reply to Liu Xun and sighed: "Du Yi can be described as a 'person who is not flattering to the stove'." (The allusion to "not flattering the stove" comes from the Analects, which refers to not being sycophant.) ）

In a world of war and sparse population, women have become an important resource. The state of Wei once issued an order requiring each county to recruit widows and assign them to areas with few women, and marry and have children. In order to show their achievements in front of the emperor, the princes of each county wanted to recruit as many local widows as possible. Some widows have remarried, and they have to break them up. For a time, the women left their homes and complained. Du Ji was in Hedong and had to obey the decrees of the imperial court, but he only recruited those real widows, so he gave very little every year. Later, Du Yi was promoted to the imperial court, Zhao Yan succeeded as the Taishou of Hedong, and the number of widows sent suddenly increased, and Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi asked Du Yi: "You used to send so little, I thought there were no widows in Hedong." Why are there more now? Du Ji replied with a stern face: "The widows I recruited before were all dead wives. Now Zhao Yan is soliciting living wives! When Cao Pi and the people around him heard this, their faces changed.

Du Ji was in Hedong County, a total of 16 years as a guard, and the history books evaluated his political achievements as "often the most in the world".

After Cao Cao was named the queen of Wei, he once appointed Du Ji as the secretary, but because of the important location of Hedong County, he still ordered Du Ji to return to serve as the Taishou of Hedong. After Cao Pi succeeded as the king of Wei, he gave Du Yi the title of Marquis of Guannei, and worshiped him as a scholar. After Cao Pi became emperor, Du Ji was named the Marquis of Fengle Pavilion, a hundred households, and served as the captain of the school, and later promoted to the servant of Shangshu. When Cao Pi set out on the expedition, Du Yi often stayed in Beijing and was regarded as Cao Wei's important minister. One year, Cao Pi ordered Du Qi to supervise the construction of the Imperial Tower. After the cause, Du Ji personally went to the Tao River to test the boat, unfortunately encountered a storm and drowned, at the age of 62. Cao Pi was very sad and wrote in the edict: "The water officials of the Xia Dynasty worked diligently and died in the water, and Houji diligently sowed a hundred grains and died in the mountains; The late Shang Shufu shot Du Ji and tried sailing in Mengjin, and even capsized and sank, which is the ultimate of loyalty, and I really regret him. "Praise Du Ji for his glorious death like the ancient ministers Ming and Ji. Posthumously presented as a servant, and described as Dai Hou.

Wang Cang said: "Three people were intercepted by us on the way back to Yingchuan from Jingzhou and are now under house arrest. ”

Wei Yan was curious: "Who?" ”

"There are Zhao Yan, Du Xian, and Fanqin, all of whom are famous people in Yingchuan!"

"Good, very good! I'm going to recruit them! ”

Zhao Yan was a weak champion in the year, and he was praised in the township. With Yang Zhai Xinbi, Xu Chen Qun, Dingling Du attacked and called the four famous men of Yingchuan. Zhao Yan saw that the warlords from all walks of life were fighting endlessly, and he couldn't find the object he could take refuge in for a while, so in order to avoid the war, his family moved to Jingzhou, where he got acquainted with Du Xun and his fellow villager Fanqin, who lived there. At that time, Liu Biao, who was in Jingzhou, heard the names of Zhao Yan, Du Xi, and Fanqin, deliberately enveloped them, and treated the three of them as VIPs, and invited them to join the office many times. Through observation, Zhao Yan believed that Liu Biao was short-sighted, and although he was prominent for a while, it would be difficult to achieve great things in the end, so he insisted on resigning, and at the same time persuaded Fanqin, who showed off his literary talent in front of Liu Biao, to stay away from Liu Biao, so as not to regret it for the rest of his life.

In 196 A.D. (the first year of Jian'an), Cao Cao welcomed the Han Dynasty to offer the emperor to Xuchang, and accepted Zaoyi's suggestion to implement the tuntian system, Zhao Yan said to Fanqin: "Cao Zhendong (Cao Cao was the general of Zhendong at that time) should be in the world, will be able to help China, I know where I went." So together with Du Xi, Fanqin and others, in 197 A.D. (the second year of Jian'an), they moved their family north together.

In this life, this year, the Wei army captured the three of them and their families together and placed them under house arrest in the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

Let's talk about Du Xi first, this person is not the same person as Du Ji.

Du Xun is a native of Dingling County, Yingchuan County, and like Du Ji, he is also from a famous family, and his great-grandfather Du An and grandfather Du Gen were very famous before.

Du Raid avoided chaos to Jingzhou, Liu Biao received him according to the etiquette of the guests, and Fanqin, a native of the same county, showed his genius to Liu Biao many times, Du Raid told him: "The reason why I came here with you is just to bend down in the deep lake like a dragon, waiting for the opportunity to spread its wings and fly like a phoenix." Could it be that Pastor Liu Zhou is a master who sets things right, and advises the elders to attach yourself to him? If you keep showing your talents, you won't be my friend. I'm going to break off my friendship with you! Fan Qin said with great emotion: "Please let me accept your teachings. Du Xun then went south to Changsha.

Historically, in the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Liu Xiejian of the Han Dynasty to build the capital Xuchang. Du Xun fled back to his hometown, and Cao Cao appointed him as the magistrate of Xi'e County. Xi'e County is close to the southern border, and banditry is rampant. At that time, the county officials gathered the common people to guard the city and could not engage in agricultural production. The fields are barren, the people are poor, and the warehouses are empty. Du Xi knew that he should be shown a favor to the people, so he sent the old and weak people to their hometowns to work in the fields, leaving strong men to defend the county seat, and the officials and the people were very happy.

In the sixth year of Jian'an (202), Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sent 10,000 foot cavalry to attack Western Hubei, and Du Xi then summoned all the officials and people who were responsible for defending the city, totaling more than 50 people, and made an oath with them. Among them, there were relatives who wanted to go to the rescue themselves, and they were sent out of the city at their will; They all kowtow to show their desperate effectiveness. Du Xun then personally took bows, arrows and stones, and led them to fight together. The officials and the people were very moved, and they were willing to give their lives for him. Hundreds of Liu Biao's troops were killed in battle, and more than 30 of Du Xi's subordinates were killed, and the remaining 18 were wounded, so that the thieves were able to attack the city. Du Xun led the wounded officials and civilians out of the city, and almost all of them were killed, but none of them rebelled. Du Xun then gathered the fleeing people and moved to Mopi to camp, and the officials and the people admired him and followed him as if they were returning to their own homes.

Later, Lieutenant Zhong Xiang of Sili asked him to join the military as a councilor. Later, he was recommended by Xun Yu and was appointed as the prime minister's military sacrifice wine.

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Cao Cao was crowned the Duke of Wei and established the Wei State. Wang Cang has a strong memory and has seen and heard extensively, so Cao Cao went out to visit and watch, and Wang Cang accompanied him in the same car many times, but he was not as respected as Heqia and Du Raid. Du Xi was once summoned by Cao Cao alone until midnight. Wang Cang was impatient and competitive, got up from his seat and said, "I don't know what Duke Cao said to Du Xian?" He Qia replied with a smile, "Can you know everything in the world?" You can serve Cao Gong during the day, and you are depressed about this, do you want to have both? ”

Xiahou Shang was intimate with Cao Pi and had a very close relationship. Du Xi thought that Xiahou was not a friend who was beneficial to people and did not deserve special treatment, so he told Cao Cao the message. Cao Pi was unhappy at first, but later remembered that Du Xian's opinion was right. He persuaded the king and did not offend, it was like this.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Du Xi changed the history of the prime minister, and accompanied Cao Cao to conquer Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. In the following year, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng and appointed Du Xi as the commander of the horse to supervise the military in Hanzhong, during which he successfully persuaded more than 80,000 people from Hanzhong to move to Luoyang and Yecheng.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Xiahou Yuan, the general of Zhengxi, died in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, and the soldiers were very frightened. When Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, he had to choose to stay in the governor's history and guard Chang'an. The person in charge of this matter was so inappropriate that Cao Cao ordered: "If you don't want to ride a thousand miles of horses, why hurry to seek elsewhere?" So Du Xi was appointed as the governor of the palace and stationed in Guanzhong.

In the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of Wei and gave Du the Marquis of Guannei. In the same year, Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and appointed Du Xi as the imperial history of supervising the army's grain and sealing the Marquis of Wuping Pavilion. Later, he successively served as the superintendent of military grain law enforcement and the secretary of the dynasty.

In the first year of Taihe (227), Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming succeeded to the throne and entered the Pingyang Township. In the following year, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, went on a northern expedition, and the general Cao Zhen led the troops to resist and moved Du to attack as the general's military division.

In the fifth year of Taihe (231), Cao Zhen died and was replaced by Sima Yi, and Du Xi was also transferred to his military advisor. Later, Du Xi said that he was sick and returned to the dynasty and was reappointed as a doctor in Taizhong. and later died, posthumously presented to Shaofu, and was nicknamed Dinghou.

Fanqin, the word Huber, Yingchuan people. With literary talent and wit, named after Ruying, long in the secretary, especially good for poetry, its and the prince's secretary throat conversion rate are Qiaoli, for the prime minister's main book, Jian'an died in 23 years. There are ten volumes, and the "Busy Huber Collection" is one volume at a time. Among them, "Acacia Tree Poem" should be the acacia in front of the Wenchang Hall of Ye Palace.
