Tian Yu was an ordinary soldier by Liu Bei's side, who was unknown when he followed Liu Bei, but after he surrendered to Cao Cao, he soared into the sky. So, what is going on here, is it Liu Bei who is blind, or Cao Cao's wise eyes that recognize pearls? Today, we will explore the historical truth through history.
Tian Yu (田豫), courtesy name Guorang, was a native of Yongnu, Yuyang (present-day northeast of Wuqing District, Tianjin). Liu Bei defected to his classmate Gongsun Zhan in his early years, and Tian Yu was still young at the time, so he himself was entrusted to Liu Bei. Although Tian Yu was young, his vision and insight were very unusual, and he was greatly valued by Liu Bei. After Tian Yu became Liu Bei's younger brother, because Liu Bei had not yet taken root, he had been working with Liu Bei to make a living.
It was not until Liu Bei was serving as the pastor of Yuzhou that Liu Bei established his own small company. At this time, Liu Bei was ambitious and prepared to raise funds for listing. However, Tian Yu, as his younger brother, wanted to leave Liu Bei, and Liu Bei looked confused and asked him what was wrong, why did he abandon himself? Tian Yu told Liu Bei: "I don't want to leave you, how can I get my old mother to be old and have to go back to my hometown to take care of her!" ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he knew that he could not keep Tian Yu, so he cried and said to him: "I only hate that I can't establish a great cause with Jun." Subsequently, Tian Yu returned to his hometown and continued to work in the company of his old owner, Gongsun Zhan. Soon after, Gongsun Zhan's company was poorly run and was annexed. After losing his job, Tian Yu jumped to the listed company of the big boss Cao Cao and became one of Cao Cao's many male secretaries.
Due to Tian Yu's outstanding ability, he was later released by Cao Cao and successively served as Yingyin, Langlingling, and Yiyang Taishou. Later, Cao Wei's northern frontier was unstable, because Tian Yu had mixed with Gongsun Zhan in northern Xinjiang and was familiar with the local situation, Cao Cao sent him to guard northern Xinjiang. As soon as the connoisseur kung fu struck, he knew whether there was one, and as soon as Tian Yu arrived in northern Xinjiang, he would conquer Wuhuan, cut bones, and break Kebineng, threatening northern Xinjiang, making the little turtle grandchildren in northern Xinjiang feel frightened and dare not invade the south again.
After fighting the small turtle grandchildren in northern Xinjiang, Tian Yu was transferred to the south to develop business. After the death of the company's old chairman Cao Cao, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu wanted to take the opportunity to annex the company of the old Cao family and take 100,000 younger brothers to Wei. Faced with Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army, Tian Yu showed his genius command ability, broke through Eastern Wu, killed Zhou He at Chengshan, defeated Sun Quan at Xincheng, and forced Sun Quan to flee home in a gray and slippery way.
After this battle, Tian Yu soared into the sky and became famous all over the world. Tian Yu was promoted to the rank of General of the Xiongnu Zhonglang (中郎) the Envoy of the Xiongnu, the general of Zhenwei (振威), and the commander of the Prefecture of Thorn Shi (刺史). Later, Tian Yu was promoted all the way, and the official was promoted to taizhong dafu and the marquis of Changle Ting. This Tian Yu not only had outstanding ability, but also lived a particularly long life, surviving the three emperors of the old Cao family until the age of 82 before dying.
Tian Yu was originally an ordinary soldier by Liu Bei's side, and the reason why he soared into the sky after he surrendered to Cao Cao was not that Cao Cao knew the pearls with his eyes and knew what he knew, but that Tian Yu himself was too strong, and he soared by strength. And when he was working for Liu Bei, because Liu Bei was still a dick at that time, he was not given the opportunity to shine. In short, gold always shines. Guys, do you think Tian Yu would have mixed better if he followed Liu Bei?
