During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, marquises were mainly divided into four grades: county marquis, township marquis, Tinghou hou, and Guannei hou. Among them, as far as the Marquis of Ting is concerned, it is already the coveted title of many civilian and military generals. For example, in 200 AD, after Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, Cao Cao made emperor of Han and crowned him as the Marquis of Hanshouting. Since then, Guan Yu has often hung up on the Marquis of Hanshou Ting as his own glory. And as far as the author wants to talk about today, Yishou Tinghou also belongs to the grade of Tinghou. At that time, there were two "Marquis of Yishouting": one surrendered to Guan Yu, and the other was praised!
1. Prohibited
Yu Ban (?) –221), courtesy name Wenze, was a native of Juping County, Taishan County (present-day Xitaiping Village, Ciyao Town, AnningYang County, Shandong). In the first year of Zhongping (184), the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Yu Ban was recruited by Bao Xin, a fellow villager in Taishan County, to participate in the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army. In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), the Han Ling Emperor died, and Dong Zhuo usurped the power of the imperial court. Yu Ban followed Bao Xin back to Taishan County to recruit soldiers and prepare for a crusade against Dong Zhuo.
In the third year of Chuping (192), after the death of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, Bao Xin, Chen Gong, and others welcomed Cao Cao as Yanzhou Pastor. In the same year, Bao Xin died to save Cao Cao, and Yu Ban was subordinate to the Yanzhou army general Wang Lang. Wang Lang admired Yu Ban very much, so he recommended to Cao Cao that Yu Banzhi be appointed as a general. Cao Cao summoned Yu Ban and paid homage to Sima Jun. Since then, Yu Ban has officially become Cao Cao's subordinate, thus opening a new chapter in his life.
In the fourth year of Chuping (193), Cao Cao sent Yu Ban to Xuzhou to attack Guangwei. After conquering Guangwei, Yu Ban was worshipped as a trapped Chen Duwei. From the first year of Xingping (194) to the second year of Xingping (195), Yu Ban accompanied Cao Cao to Puyang to fight Lü Bu. In the second year of Jian'an (197), Yu Ban followed Cao Cao to Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu surrendered. Immediately after Zhang Xiu's rebellion, Cao Cao's camp was suddenly attacked by Zhang Xiu's army, and it was too late to cope, so they withdrew their respective troops, which was very chaotic. Only the prohibition of restraining subordinates, and fighting and retreating. Although some soldiers died in battle, Yu Ban was not allowed to scatter.
Considering yu's military exploits, Cao Cao was enthroned as the Marquis of Yishouting in 197 AD. Among the many military generals under Cao Cao, Yu Ban also obtained the Title of Tinghou relatively early. In the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an (200), when Cao Cao was fighting Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was in a strong position, and Yu Ban was willing to serve as a pioneer. Cao Cao praised Yu Ban, so he sent 2,000 infantrymen to guard Yanjin to resist Yuan Shao because of the forbidden command, and Cao Cao led the army back to Guandu.
In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206), Yu Ban was worshipped as a general of Huwei, which was a miscellaneous general. At that time, because there were more military generals who made military achievements, the miscellaneous generals received extensive canonization. Of course, Yu Ban's official position did not stop there. In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), Cao Cao was crowned King of Wei, and Yu Ban was later moved to the position of General of the Left.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Guan Yu besieged Lü Chang at Xiangyang and Cao Ren at Fancheng. Cao Cao sent Yu Ban and Pound to the rescue, and as a result, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and successfully captured Yu Ban and Pound. Unlike Pound, who preferred to die rather than surrender, Yu Ban gave up resistance, which led to Yu Ban's eventual insecurity. In 220, Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to attack Jingzhou and behead Guan Yu, while Yu Ban went into exile in Eastern Wu. In the second year of the Huang Dynasty (221), Yu was forbidden to return to the State of Wei and paid tribute to the general An Yuan. Soon after, Yu Ban was humiliated by Cao Pi and died in shame, with the title of Li.
2. Lü Qian
Lü Qian (born and died unknown), zi ke. A native of Renchengguo (present-day southeast of Jining, Shandong). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lü Qian, like Yu Ban, was from the land of Yanzhou. Moreover, Lü Qian's time following Cao Cao was also relatively close to Thatu's. In the third year of Emperor Chuping of Han (192), when Cao Cao was serving as the pastor of Yanzhou, he heard that Lü Qian had courage and strategy, so he appointed him to the post and asked him to lead his family DingZhen to guard Hulucheng.
Later, Cao Cao appointed Lü Qian as the Taishou of Taishan Commandery. Taishan County is surrounded by mountains and seas, and there are frequent wars, and most of the people are hiding or wandering around. Zhonglang appointed by Yuan Shao occupied Guo Zu, Gongsun Calf, and dozens of other people as Kou, and the people were deeply affected by it. In this context, Lü Qian led his family soldiers to Taishan County, he performed favors and demanded credit, Guo Zu and others came out to surrender, and the people hiding in the mountains returned to the township to settle down and engage in production. Lü Qian selected strong people to supplement the army, and Taishan County had elite soldiers from then on, ranking first among the states and counties.
On this basis, Lü Qian was elected maocai and appointed as a knight lieutenant, still in charge of Taishan County. Lü Qian has been in Taishan County for more than ten years and has many favors from Weide. Therefore, it is very obvious that Lü Qian has been praised by people because of his ability to govern the locality. For example, Cao Cao once commented: If a husband has his own ambitions, he will do his thing, and he will cover the place of the martyrs. Since the secretary of state was in the county, poultry raped and violently, and the people were safe, and they bowed to the stones and requisitioned the stones. Xi Kou was named after Ru and Ying, Geng Yi was built in Qing and Yan, and ancient and modern Yiye.
In the first year of the Huang Dynasty (220), after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded him as The Prince of Wei, and Jia Lüqian became the General of Qi, and was given the title of Marquis of Yishouting. In this regard, in the author's opinion, because Yu Ban surrendered to Guan Yu, Cao Pi held a grudge in his heart, so he gave the title of Marquis of Yishouting to Lü Qian. Of course, Lü Qian, with his merits in governing the locality, really deserves this honor.
Later, Lü Qian was promoted to the post of Assassin of Xuzhou and was given the title of WeiFu General. Lü Qian asked Wang Xiang, a native of Langya County, to serve as xuzhou's bezeranny, entrusting him with all the relevant matters of the people, and the world praised him for appointing sages. Moreover, Lü Qian also had the ability to lead an army to conquest, for example, he made a meritorious contribution to the beheading of prisoners in the campaign against the rebels in Licheng.
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and other historical records, in the first year of Taihe (227), the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, renamed Lü Qian the Marquis of Wannian Pavilion, and increased the number of food households by 200, along with the previous total of 600 households. After Lü Qian's death, his son Lü took the title of Marquis of Wannianting. Compared with Yu Ban, who died in shame, Lü Qian naturally achieved a good ending.
