Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, known as Pengcheng in ancient times, was subordinate to Xuzhou during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, ten celebrities served in the Eastern Wu Clique. Among them, there are five people in Xuzhou City, two people in Suining County, and three people in Pei County.
First place: Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao, Zibu, an early minister in the Eastern Wu clique, a native of Xuzhou. When the Sun clan rose, Most of Sun Jian's side were fierce generals who were brave and good at war, and it was not until Sun Ce started his business that he began to recruit a large number of ministers. Zhang Zhao was one of the first civilian ministers to be recruited during Sun Ce's founding. Zhang Zhao spent his life assisting the two lords of the Sun clan, one died young and the other established the country as emperor.
When Zhang Zhao assisted Sun Ce, Sun Ce commanded the army for a long time, and Zhang Zhao was responsible for all internal administrative affairs. Sun Ce is not only important to Zhang Zhao, but also more respectful, trusting and dependent, mainly to recruit and cultivate a group of well-educated people for the Dongwu Group through Zhang Zhao's huge influence. However, due to Sun Ce's untimely death, the honor that Zhang Zhao enjoyed also came to an abrupt end. Zhang Zhao's position during sun quan's reign was very awkward. Sun Quan initially had great respect for Zhang Zhao, but after stabilizing the situation, he began to gradually snub and weaken Zhang Zhao's authority because Zhang Zhao's ideas did not match his own thoughts.
In the later process of getting along between the two junchen, although Sun Quan had great respect for Zhang Zhao on the surface, he had actually completely pushed Zhang Zhao out of the decision-making level, during which the two also had a lot of conflicts because of the problems of advice and advocacy, so that it eventually evolved into a farce that was ridiculous. In general, Zhang Zhao was in a state of high power and light power during Sun Quan's reign. Zhang Zhao was relocated to the General of Fu Wu in the Eastern Wu clique, and in his later years he concentrated on his studies at home, and died of illness during the Jiahe years. Zhang Zhaoyimen can be said to be a meritorious family in the Eastern Wu Group, and his sons Zhang Cheng, Zhang Xiu, grandson Zhang Zhen and others are all important ministers of the Eastern Wu Group.
Second place: Zhang Fen. Zhang Fen was a former and mid-level general in the Eastern Wu clique, a native of Xuzhou.

Zhang Fen's thinking was quick and his mind was skillful, and the siege vehicle used by the Eastern Wu army at that time was designed and built by Zhang Fen. Zhang Fen's army was repeatedly built up after military merit, and he was moved to the governor of Banzhou, and the final outcome is unknown.

In the later period, Sheci also served as Fu Xiang of Sun Fen, the King of Qi, and during his tenure compiled works such as "Funeral Costume Diagram" and "Variation and Removal" that were handed down to later generations. However, the ending of shooting mercy is regrettable.

As a result, Sheci was killed by the enraged Sun Fen.
