There is an ancient Chinese saying that "when you receive the grace of a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring", which is to teach people to be grateful and is a household name, but there are not many people who can really do it.

This Tian Chou is a person who fulfills the "grace of receiving dripping water from others and repaying it with a spring" all his life.

In history, Tian Chou is good at reading and fencing.

When Tian Chou was twenty-two years old, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu felt that the Son of Heaven was in danger, the court sowed, the princes were ambitious, their own family was the Han clan, and they should show their loyalty to the court, set an example for the world, and wanted to send envoys to offer, but Jizhou and Sili were in the midst of war, and it was not easy for the envoy to arrive in Chang'an safely.

So, Liu Yu prepared to invite Tian Chou's home in person, for a young scholar who was just in his early twenties and had no official position, how much honor was it for the state pastor to invite him to his home? This is equivalent to a figure who served as a provincial governor and commander of a provincial military district in later generations.

Tian Chou was naturally grateful to Dade, after receiving the order, he selected more than 20 people from the family guests, and the officials sent by Liu Yu took Xiguan, Saiwai, and Shuofang, and Zhoushuofang, detoured to Chang'an, and finally arrived in Chang'an, smelling that the tiger and wolf in the Han actually had such loyal ministers, the Son of Heaven was naturally happy, and he wanted to be the messenger of Tian Chouche Cavalry Captain, he thought that the Son of Heaven was not at peace, and he could not be favored by Hepei, and he did not accept it, which became famous, and the three princes of the imperial court, Situ, and Sikong all wanted to recruit him as a subordinate, and he refused all, because, he wanted to go back to repay Liu Yu.

After the Son of Heaven gave Liu Yu a commendation, Tian Chou led the people back, this trip took a total of three years, when he returned to Youzhou, Liu Yu had been killed by Gongsun Zhan, he could only run to the tomb and cry bitterly, and read the will of the Son of Heaven to the tombstone, for this reason, he offended Gongsun Zhan, was arrested, and almost lost his life.

Fortunately, someone pleaded for mercy, after that, Tian Chou returned to his hometown right Beiping Wuzhong County, Youzhou war continued, not only Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao attacked, but also sometimes there were foreign invasions, he led the clan and hundreds of people in the countryside to hide in the mountains to cultivate, and the reclamation of the people, it is strictly forbidden to fight each other, the killer and wounded to the crime, and the law of breaking the prison, the marriage ceremony, but also the appointment of the educated, education, soon, the people from other places came to take refuge in more than 5,000 people, several times I thought of the soldiers to avenge Liu Yu, and I was afraid that the people on the land would suffer from the difficulties of the alien race after leaving, so I had to press, It wasn't until Gongsun Zhan was killed by Yuan Shao that his great wish came true.

After the destruction of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang and his son ruled the north, heard of his reputation, and recruited him as an official several times, but Tian Chou never forgot Liu Yu, and felt that he had not returned it during his lifetime, because he had failed to complete his mission, and he was ashamed of his official position.

After that, Yuan Shang was defeated by Cao Cao, and Yuan Xi fled to Wuhuan, Cao Cao went north, did not know the path, because it was the north attack on the foreign Wuhuan, Tian Chou went out of the mountain to lead the way and offered a plan, helped Cao Jun to defeat Wuhuan, beheaded its leader in the white wolf pile, Yuan Shang brothers had nowhere to stay, had to flee to Liaodong, was beheaded by Gongsun Kang, the son of Gongsun Du, and the head was sent to Cao Cao.

Got the head of Yuan Shang, Cao Cao buried it, and ordered "the three armies dare to cry and behead", no one dared to go to the sacrifice, only Tian Chou remembered that Yuan's father and son had conquered themselves several times, although they did not become their subordinates, but they had the grace of appreciation for themselves, and Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Zhan, which was also gracious, so he ignored the ban and went to Yuan Shang's tomb to hang and cry, and wait for this matter to be reported, fortunately, Cao Cao cherished other talents, and was magnanimous and did not pursue the guilt.

After pacifying the north, Cao Cao wanted to reward him, to the Marquis of Jueting, five hundred households, Tian Chou and remembered that this credit was to kill Yuan Shang, who was kind to him, and he did not accept it, Cao Cao loved talent, and forcibly moved his family from Youbeiping to Yecheng, and rewarded the title four times before and after, and also sent Xiahou Dun, who was good friends with him, to persuade him personally.

What is surprising is that in order not to be knighted, Tian Chou actually drew his sword and killed himself, swearing to death, so that Cao Cao was helpless after all, and finally had to withdraw the title and only give an official position of a councilor, but Tian Chou did not serve long before he died of illness, and he was only forty-six years old when he died.

From today's point of view, Tian Chou can be said to be a very paranoid person, more than half of his life has been spent in the idea of repaying gratitude, there are not many merits, and the ability that can be seen is to govern the people, but Yuan Shao's father and son, Cao Cao admired him very much.

Such a character, the evaluation of him in history is different, some people think that Tian Chou forgets the big righteousness for small righteousness, especially crying Yuan Shang is a hypocrisy, some people think he is a hermit, and some people praise his push-and-give style.

No matter what others do, Cao Cao's praise is Tian Chou is elegant and well-prepared, loyal and martial, and caressing, cautious in things, measuring time and reason, advancing and retreating.

Of course, all this has to happen in the future, and it has to wait for his mother to die of illness and his filial piety to end, and everything has just begun, but now he was poached by Deng Ji halfway and changed his fate.

Of course, Deng Ji didn't know about these things that were supposed to happen to Tian Chou, the experience of inviting celebrities to be thieves before was really unbearable, for Tian Chou who took refuge in him so easily, he only felt a little incredible, this wouldn't be a fake celebrity with limited ability?

There are not many people in the world, but there are only a few people who are famous and really capable, it is not easy to meet one, for a character who is recruited at will with only one name, it is normal to doubt his ability, of course, for Deng Ji, this is actually his own inferiority complex, and he is doubting Tian Chou's ability on the surface, but he is actually doubting himself.

As far as the two celebrities he got his hands on before, Tian Feng and Tai Shici are definitely one of the few strongmen in the world, but it is not easy to convince the family, Tian Feng has been better recently, and he can feel that his hatred and hostility towards these thieves are fading, but it is still difficult for him to come out and contribute to Deng Ji's plan; Tai Shi Ci made a five-year contract, although he is trying his best now, but he is repaying his kindness, and the object of repayment is not Deng Ji but Li Ping of Liaodong.

No matter how big the fame is, what's the use of not being your own?

Therefore, although Deng Ji is suspicious in his heart, as long as Li Dangzhi can cure his mother, this Tian Chou is the most likely celebrity to work for him at present, this is a practical character, of course, he doesn't know that the second brother Deng Zhong brought him another big gift, a warrior named Dian Wei is now in the valley.

There was hope for his mother's illness, Tian Chou was naturally happy, and after selling his house, he remembered that the caravan in the forest came, anyway, as long as the doctor in front of him did not brag, his family was already the life of the thief, so he did not need to be polite to the thief.

Tian Chou didn't know which way the thief he wanted to join or what to call it, so he could only say to Deng Ji: "Little general, this old man Su's caravan is in danger because of me, if it is robbed, I can't feel at ease, this ......"

If you want people to be willing to sell their lives, you naturally have to buy people's hearts, and Deng Ji understands Tian Chou's words, he smiled and said: "So that Mr. Tian can learn that my surname is Deng Mingji, and my command is also a part of Montenegro, this caravan!" ”

After a deep groan, Deng Ji turned his head and shouted: "Han Ziyi go and ask, what is the cargo of the caravan!" ”

Deng Ji did a big thing in the name of Lei Gong, Tian Chou had also heard of it, and he didn't expect that this thief was younger than himself, so young, it was a little surprising, but the courage of this group of people and horses when he watched the battle in the forest before also left a deep impression on him.

After a while, Han Qi reported that the caravan was all silk and cloth, but it was used in the valley, so Deng Ji said: "In this case, let it be transported to the Shehou country, I will pay for it, and the merchant will pursue profits, and he will not let him suffer a loss!" ”

This approach was very happy, Tian Chou had nothing to say, and the businessman surnamed Su heard it and hurriedly came out of the forest to thank him.

After learning that this businessman was actually from Nanyang, Deng Ji couldn't help but smile at him: "Speaking of which, you and I are from the same county!" ”

This climbed out of the villager, and talked a few more words, only to know that it was actually a neighboring county, this businessman's name is Su Xiu, Deng Ji asked him some townships, and finally said: "Su Laozhang rest assured, you and I have this fate, even if Mr. Wu Tian is here, he will not swallow your goods, and in the future, just go to the country of Shehou to run business, and no one will embarrass you!" ”

If you can sell stolen goods for thieves and sell goods, the profit will not be less than going to the border, but this requires courage and opportunity, hearing Deng Ji's words, Su Xiu really pondered.

Li Dangzhi rescued nearly 100 wounded soldiers, and the twenty carriages he brought out were packed, and when Han Qi and the others searched for the wounded soldiers along the battle line again, they had been outside the dense forest for a while, and Deng Ji ordered the team to prepare to leave.

Fearing that the caravan's goods would go to the bandits and cause trouble among the people of other tribes, he asked Han Qi and Tai Shici to lead the team first, and Deng Ji led the car to Zhang Yan to resign.

Zhang Yanbu has fought a lot with the officers and soldiers, this time to attack the county, bring catapults, ladders and other utensils are not a lot, but Lu Nu is the Zhongshan State Administration, the city wall is higher, the defense is much stronger than other counties, the county has nearly 10,000 soldiers, plus the big households in the city to help the war, it is not so easy to break.

At this time, the two military marquis who had left the Sugu Department had just arrived, and Zhang Yan was angry when he heard the report, and after Deng Ji arrived, he had to explain the situation to him.

Deng Ji was suddenly taken aback, if he lost the nest of the Hou Kingdom, the family wealth that he had worked hard for two years would be all lost, and he became anxious, and he was even more busy resigning.

Zheng Gu's behavior offended his own majesty, and Zhang Yan could not tolerate him, so he had to let Wang Dang lead thousands of light horsemen to return with Deng Ji.

Julu officers and soldiers rode heavily armored all the way to the north, straight into Zhuo County, the cavalry captain who led the troops sent people into Zhuo County for help, not a few days, led the officers and soldiers of Zhuo County to save Lu Nu, Zhang Yan saw that there was no chance, led the crowd to retreat.
