In fact, there are many people who are wise and courageous in the Three Kingdoms, but there are many people who are unknown, like Tian Yu, who are not famous.
Tian Domain, Zi Tai, Right Beiping people. He first sent a letter from Liu Yu to the central imperial court on the orders of Liu Yu. Because at that time, the group was already divided, and Tian Yu chose to go out of the West Pass, out of the border plug, over the North Mountain, straight to Shuofang. The journey was also long, and it was two years after Tian Yu reached Chang'an and returned to Youzhou.
When Tian Yu returned to Youzhou, Liu Yu had already been killed by Gongsun Zhan. After Tian Yu returned, he went to pay tribute to Liu Yu and read the emperor's reply to Liu Yu's tomb. When Gongsun Zhan heard about this, he was very angry and arrested Tian Yu. Gongsun Zan asked Tian Yu why he went to Liu Yu's tomb to cry instead of handing him the emperor's letter.
Tian Yu returned, the Han Dynasty declined, only Liu Yu was a loyal subject, and the emperor did not write your good words on the reply letter, so I will not send it to you. Moreover, you rebelled for private purposes, both to destroy the innocent king and to kill the righteous loyalists, and you think, with these two points, I will still come to you?
Therefore, Tian Yu was imprisoned by Gongsun Yu for crying for Liu Yu, until someone told Gongsun Zhan that Tian Yu was a righteous soldier and that Tian Yu was not allowed to be imprisoned. But from this incident, we can see Tian Yu's trustworthiness and boldness. After Tian Yu was released, the clan and the nearby people trusted him quite much, and voluntarily followed him into the deep mountains to live in tun tian, which increased from one hundred to more than 5,000 in a few years. After being elected as a leader by the people, Tian Yu made laws, established etiquette, and began to preach. Even the foreign karasuma and Xianbei sent tributes to obey and follow Tian Yu's teachings.
In the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's northern expedition to Karasuma, Cao Cao summoned Tian Domain as a guide, it was the rainy season, and Cao Cao's army was in a dilemma. At this time, Tian Yu pretended to retreat, but in fact sneaked into the Karasuma base camp by small road. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and adopted his strategy, and indeed broke the Karasuma. The most interesting thing about Tian Yu was that he didn't like to be an official. After Gongsun Zan arrested him, he hoped to recruit Tian Yu to follow him, but he was reluctant. Later, Yuan Shao requisitioned him many times, and he did not go. Later, when Cao Cao's Northern Expedition to Karasuma was successful, and when he rewarded Tian Yu for his meritorious deeds, Tian Yu refused to hold any official position on the grounds that he was actually a deserter of Liu Yu.
After Cao Cao returned from an expedition to Jingzhou, he once again remembered the merits of Tian Domain and wanted to reward Tian Domain with his original merits, but Tian Domain still refused. The official in charge of the law wanted to impeach Tian Domain, saying that he had violated the laws of the country in order to maintain his personal sub-section, and Tian Domain was opposed to death. Still not dead-hearted, Cao Cao sent Tian Yu's friend Xiahou Huan to persuade him, and Tian Yu repeatedly died to Mingzhi. In the end, Cao Cao could only respect Tian Domain's wishes and only worshiped Tian Domain as a Speaker.
In such a chaotic world as the Three Kingdoms, a person like Tian Yu who was a heavy promise and observant of the festival could be said to be a rare breed, and Tian Yu was a man of wisdom and courage, who was not succumbed to Gongsun Zhan's anger, nor was he greedy for fame and profit, and he had always lived a life of poverty and happiness. Chen Shou had a very high opinion of him, saying that Tian Yu was a disciplined person, enough to be a model for the world.
