After Gao Gan went south, he participated in the rebellion in the Hedong area, when the imperial court was ready to transfer the original Hedong Taishou Wangyi and appointed Du Ji as the new Hedong Taishou, which made many people in Hedong County dissatisfied, so they responded to Cao Cao after Gao Gan and annexed the state, and rebelled.

【Du Ji into the east of the river】

After Yuan Shang sent Gao Gan, Guo Yuan and others to crusade against Hedong, Cao Cao's group had a further understanding of the importance of Hedong County, so it decided to strengthen its rule over the region. Zhang Sheng burned, killed and looted between the mountains and the water, and contacted Liu Biao to the south, and Wei Gu and others also followed Zhang Sheng's example, I am worried that they will do too much harm. Hedong County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the surrounding neighboring counties are always changing, which is a strategic place today. Please recommend people like Xiao He and Kou Sui to guard Hedong for me. ”

Xun Yu said: "Du Ji can do it. So Cao Cao posthumously awarded Du Ji the post of Taishou of Hedong.

Now Wang Yi quit, he did a good job as the emperor of Hedong, one did not make a mess, two did not offend Cao Cao, and no one wanted to change it, so he united his subordinates Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others, first sent troops to block the Yellow River crossing, did not let Du Yi enter the post, and even asked Wei Gu and Fan Xian to negotiate with Zhong Xuan, express public opinion, and ask to stay behind.

As a result, Zhong Yi not only did not agree, but asked Wang Yi to hurry up and complete the handover procedures, Wang Yi was angry, and he didn't give Du Ji the seal with him, so he went to Xuchang to find the court to reason. Later, he was appointed by the imperial court as the great Si Nong, and then he gave up.

But Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others still did not accept Du Ji, and were prepared to make a rebellion, in order to make Du Ji take office smoothly, the imperial court at that time was even ready to let Xiahou Dun lead a large army to help Du Ji.

However, Du Ji said: "There are 30,000 households in Hedong County, and not everyone wants to make trouble. Now, if the soldiers press the border and force them to be in a hurry, and they can't find the leader if they want to do good deeds, they will definitely obey the defense because of fear. Once Weigu eliminates his worries, he will inevitably resist desperately. If we fail to win the crusade against him, the surrounding neighboring counties will respond to him, and the chaos in the world will not be quelled. If we can win, it will also destroy the people of a county, and besides, Wei Gu and the others have not blatantly resisted the imperial court, ostensibly in the name of asking for the past Taishou, and they will definitely not harm the new Taishou. I went alone, and I was taken by surprise, Wei Gu has a lot of schemes, but he lacks the ability to make decisions, and he will definitely pretend to accept my command, and I only need to stay in the county for a month, and I can manage to trap him with tricks, and there is enough time. ”

So Du Ji entered Hedong and prepared to take up his post.

[Playing with Wei and Fan]

Du Ji and Wei Gu are old acquaintances, and Fan Xian should have nothing to do with Du Ji, so Fan Xian wanted to kill Du Ji to deter his subordinates, so he wanted to observe Du Ji's movements first, so he killed more than 30 officials below the county master book in a row in front of the door. Wei Gu said: "Killing him will not harm him anything, it will give us a bad reputation in vain, and the power to control him is in our hands." Fan Xian also felt justified when he heard it, so he admitted Du Ji's identity as a taishou.

Seeing this, Du Yi said to Wei Gu and Fan Xian: "You two are the hope of Hedong, and I just rely on you to enjoy it." However, there are fixed rules between monarchs and ministers, success or failure are the same, and major events should be discussed together on an equal footing. Du Ji appointed Wei Gu as the governor, let him concurrently serve as the county governor, and act as Gong Cao. There are more than 3,000 generals, captains, and soldiers, all of whom are under the command of Fan Xian. Wei Gu and the others were very happy, although they obeyed Du Ji on the surface, but in their hearts they slowly didn't take him seriously and let down their guard.

When Wei Gu wanted to send troops on a large scale, Du Yi pretended to be very worried and persuaded Wei Gu: "If you want to achieve extraordinary things, you can't easily shake the morale of the army." Now, if you launch a large army, your subordinates will definitely riot, so it is better to slowly use the money to recruit soldiers. Wei Gu thought he was right, so he obeyed, used money to requisition, and only stopped dispatching after a few days. However, the generals of his subordinates recruited fewer soldiers than the predetermined number because of their greed for money.

Du Ji then went to meet Wei Gu again and analyzed for him: "Everyone cares about their families, and they can let the generals and Peng Shi go home to rest respectively, and it is not difficult to summon them back if there is an emergency." Wei Gu and the others were unwilling to lose the hearts of the people, and followed Du Ji's advice.

In this way, Du Ji led Wei Gu and the others in a circle step by step, and successfully dismissed their henchmen and minions. And Du Ji himself did a lot of persuasion work in private, and quietly united a group of people who supported him.

【Pingding Hedong】

After Gao Gan betrayed Cao Cao, Hedong County was also greatly affected, when Cao Cao personally crusaded against Huguan, Gao Gan failed to ask for help from the Southern Xiongnu, so he went south.

Gao Gan entered Hedong County, Huze, just as Zhang Baiqi attacked Hedong Dongyuan, Hongnong's anti-Cao force Zhang Yan also hijacked Cao Cao's Taishou, Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others also responded to Gao Gan, but because the general school had been dispersed, they could not be summoned in a hurry.

Du Ji took this opportunity to flee, and openly broke with Wei Gu and others, went to Zhang Pi to refuse, and obtained more than 4,000 soldiers in dozens of days as the Taishou of Hedong. Wei Gu and Fan Xian led themselves to reluctantly assemble but the troops, together with the armies of Gao Gan and Zhang Sheng, joined forces to attack Duji, but they could not win, and they ran to the counties to loot, and there was nothing to gain.

At this time, Zhang Jixi's expedition to Ma Teng and other Liangzhou soldiers, plus Zhong Xuan's soldiers, were all united. Zhong Xuan led the generals to fight with Gao Gan and others, Gao Gan was defeated again at the hands of Zhong Xuan, Gao Gan and Zhang Sheng were defeated, and Wei Gu, Fan Xian, and Zhang Yan were all killed.

Gao Gan was unable to advance and retreat at this time, so he could only go south to Jingzhou, preparing to take refuge in Liu Biao, but on the way he was killed by Wang Yan, the captain of Sili, and his head was sacrificed to Cao Cao. 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 was basically calmed down.

Du Yi is a quite strategic guy, after entering Hedong, he turned Wei Gu and Fan Xian around, and after pacifying the civil strife in Hedong, Du Ji's achievements as the Taishou of Hedong are not worthy of his predecessor Wang Yi. He combined the characteristics of Confucianism and Taoism, both generous and loving the people, but also quiet and inactive. First of all, we focused on agricultural production, urged the people, worked hard to cultivate and weave, and raised more cattle and horses. After promoting agriculture, Du Ji began to advocate education again, and even served as a professor himself, teaching Confucian classics, and many years later, many great Confucians appeared in Hedong County, which was inseparable from Du Ji's efforts.
