Renchengguo (任城国), a fief of Liu Cang, the King of Dongping during the Eastern Han Dynasty, was changed from Cao Wei to Rencheng Commandery during the Three Kingdoms period, with jurisdiction over the area of present-day Jining City, Shandong Province, and the seat of government was Weishan County under the jurisdiction of present-day Jining City. In the Cao Wei Group, there were five famous ministers from Weishan County. Among them, three people died of illness, and one was the author of the Book of Wei.
First place: Lü Qian. Lü Qian (吕虔), also spelled Zi Ke, was an early famous general of the Cao Wei Group. In his early years, Lü Qian was known for his ability to combine culture and martial arts. In the third year of Chuping (192 AD), during Cao Cao's control of Yanzhou, he heard of Lü Qian's reputation and invited him to join. Lü Qian initially took charge of Cao Cao's troops stationed in Hulu County (湖陸县, in modern Yutai County, Jining, Shandong). Later, two of Cao Cao's subordinates, Du Song, a lieutenant under Cao Cao's account, colluded to rebel, and Cao Cao ordered Lü Qian to take over Du Song's post to quell the rebellion. After Lü Qian arrived at his post, he did not move, set up a banquet to entertain several rebel generals, and set up an ambush outside the banquet house, and after everyone was drunk, they were all killed, and afterwards he forgave the soldiers of several generals. Lü Qian's soldiers quelled the rebellion without bloodshed, thus gaining Cao Cao's trust and respect, and immediately promoting him to the position of Taishou of Taishan County.
At that time, the remnants of Yuan Shao's forces in Taishan County hid in the mountains and occupied the mountains as kings, wantonly harassing the villagers, and the local people were deeply affected and miserable. When Lü Qian took office, he only took cao cao's soldiers under his original command, and in order to restore stability to the local area as soon as possible, he organized the people to protect the town on the one hand, and went deep into the mountains to appease Yuan Shao's old troops. Due to Lü Qian's leniency in government and his keeping of his promises, these remnants of Yuan Shao's forces soon all surrendered, and Taishan County also returned to calm. Under Lü Qian's meticulous governance, the military affairs and administrative affairs of Taishan County ranked first among the states and counties.
After that, Lü Qian selected elite villagers from among the people to supplement them into the infantry and formed an elite army, the Taishan soldiers. This army was later transferred to the front line, participated in the Battle of Guanzhong and the Battle of Huainan, and was a well-known and victorious division in the Cao army. Unfortunately, Taishan's soldiers were eventually annihilated by Guan Yu during the Battle of Fancheng.
After that, Lü Qian led the county soldiers to follow Xiahou Yuan to the Jinan region to recruit the thief Xu He and others. In this battle, Lü Qian fully demonstrated his military talent, not only was he a pioneer and brave, but he was calm and self-assured and clear in commanding the battle, and he went through dozens of battles, killing and capturing thousands of thieves, making the Yellow Turban thieves in the area chaotic. Soon after, Cao Cao appointed lü qian's governor of qingzhou to conquer the remnants of the thieves in the Donglai region. After the war, Cao Cao recommended Lü Qian to be Maocai, promoted to knight lieutenant, and still ruled Taishan County. Lü Qian served in Taishan County for more than ten years, and was praised by local officials and people for his remarkable achievements in the local area.
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi still attached great importance to Lü Qian, and was successively promoted to the posts of General of Pei, General of Wei yu, and Assassin of Xuzhou. During his tenure in Xuzhou, Lü Qian appointed Xianneng and appointed Wang Xiang , a Langya man, as his in charge of the state's administrative affairs and civil affairs, while he himself commanded the overall situation in charge of military affairs in various places. Lü Qian's act of knowing people and being kind to others was praised by Emperor Wen of Wei and the ministers of the court. After Emperor Ming of Wei succeeded to the throne, Lü Qian was given the title of Marquis of Wannian Ting during the rebellion against the thieves of Licheng, and died of illness shortly after.
Second place: Lü Fan. Lü Tuan was the son of Lü Qian, a famous minister of Cao Wei. After Lü Qian's death, Lü Tuan inherited the title of Marquis of Wannianting and served in the Cao Wei clique. Due to the simplicity of the historical records, its main deeds are unknown.
Third place: Lu Gui. Lü Gui was the grandson of Lü Qian, a famous minister of Cao Wei, and the son of Lü Feng. After Lü Tuan's death, his son Lü Gui joined the Cao Wei clique by inheriting the title of Marquis of Wannianting, and other deeds are unknown.
Fourth place: Sun Cai. Sun Cai, Zi Gongda, a famous courtier of the Cao Wei Clique. As a teenager, Sun Cai was diligent and ambitious, and joined the Cao Wei Group as an adult, initially serving as Shangji Tuan, and later successively serving as Lang Zhong, Doctor, Situ Right Changshi, chen juntaishou and other positions. Sun Cai's main contribution to the Cao Wei Group was to compile books, and he wrote the Book of Wei, and eventually died of illness in office.
Fifth place: stack diving. Zhan Qian, ZiYan Huang, was an early courtier of the Cao Wei clique. Zhan Qian joined the Cao Wei clique in his early years, served as a county commander during the Cao Cao period, and was later moved to Yecheng because of his outstanding local political achievements. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, he angered Cao Pi several times for committing yan's advice, so there has been no great development in his career. After the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Zhan Qian still did not change his style of Geng Zhi, and had advice on Emperor Ming's number, and was later promoted to lieutenant of the State of Yan. Zhan Qian is also a minister with an extremely bad fate, who has just been promoted and died of illness at home before he took office.
