The rest of his life must be dead, weeping to the west wind. Everyone has more or less plans for the future, and the same is true in ancient times, some people are on the battlefield, some people are intoxicated with farming, and some people are hidden in the mountains and forests. This article will talk about Tian Domain Chóu, zi Tai.
Tian Yu was a youzhou right Beiping wuxing man, and his epigraph is disputed, with "Zi Tai" recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and "Zi Chun" in the Later Han Shu Liu Yu Biography. When he was young, he not only liked to read, but also good at fencing, and in the first year of Chuping (190), Liu Yu, the mu of Youzhou, wanted to find someone to go to the imperial court, and everyone around him highly recommended Tian Yu, who was only 22 years old.
Liu Yu did enough etiquette when he met Tian Domain, and he was very satisfied with Tian Domain, and not only appointed Tian Domain as a servant but also prepared a carriage and horse. However, Tian Yu said that there were too many thieves on the road, or it was more convenient to go in his personal capacity, so Tian Yu set off with his own guests and the townspeople who admired him, in addition to these 20 people may also be counted as fresh silver.
"Therefore, he chose the right northern Pingtian domain, engaged in idle travel in the silver and Mongolian dangers, and entrusted Chang'an." - The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of Liu Yu
At that time, Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian, was thinking about moving east, and he was very happy to see Tian Yu, and being able to send an envoy during this turbulent period also showed that Liu Yu still had his heart set on the Han Dynasty. Subsequently, Tian Yu successively refused liu xie's appointment of knight lieutenants, as well as the simultaneous conquest of the Three Dukes' Palace, which also made people look up to him. Tian Yu had advised Liu Yu on Gongsun Zhan's question, but in fact, who among the clear-eyed people could not see Gongsun Zhan's ambitions? But the end was that Liu Yu killed Gongsun Zhan at the hands of Gongsun Zhan.
When Tian Yu returned from the mission, Liu Yu had already been killed, and for Tian Yu there was nothing to regain, so he read the imperial court reply documents in front of Liu Yu's tomb, wept and prayed, and then left. Gongsun Zan was very angry about this, he thought that Youzhou was now his own master, and Tian Yu should also come back to him to restore his life, so he questioned Tian Domain, who had been arrested, and Tian Domain also said very clearly, "The Han Room is in decline, only Liu Gong does not lose his loyalty, this document has no praise for you, it is not dedicated to the general." ”
The implication is not to write to you about any hilarity, and at the same time, for what Gongsun Zhan did, Tian Yu also said that Yan Zhao's soldiers would rather die than obey. Gongsun Zan wanted to imprison Tian Yu at first, but only released Tian Yu under the persuasion of others, originally killing Liu Yu had a great impact on Gongsun Yu's reputation, and then mistreating Tian Yu as a righteous soldier would only further increase the people's dissatisfaction with him, of course, Gongsun Zan has never been able to save his reputation.
After returning home, Tian Yu vowed to avenge Liu Yu, and entered Xu Wushan with the Tian clan and those willing to follow him, where they developed rapidly, and the population grew to more than 5,000 in a few years. Tian Yu and others here are not simply secluded, but try to fight against Gongsun Zhan, Tian Yu, as the leader who was elected, also formulated more than 20 laws, and even achieved the effect of "not picking up the road".

Tian Yu had a lot of prestige in the north, karasuma and Xianbei both sent people to give him gifts, and Yuan Shao also sent people to send the general seal, but Tian Yu did not accept it. Later, Yuan Shao's son Yuan Shang also tried to conquer the tian domain, but was also rejected. Judging from Yuan Shao's act of granting the general seal, Tian Yu's power at that time could not be underestimated.
In the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), when Cao Cao was preparing for the Northern Expedition to Karasuma, he also requisitioned Tian Domain, but unlike in the past, Tian Domain not only responded to the call this time, but also urged his subordinates to feel packed, and only replied to the disciples' incomprehensible Tian Domain, "You don't understand this." Tian Yu had always been dissatisfied with Karasuma's raid on the border, and he did not go to his post after being appointed as a Tyo tiáo Order, but instead went out with the army, and it was most appropriate for him to serve as a guide as an endless native.
After Cao Cao finished collecting karasuma, he was supposed to seal Tian Domain as the Marquis of Ting, but Tian Domain insisted on resigning the reward, and Cao Cao understood his intentions and did not force it. Tian Yu also wept for Yuan Shang with Cao Cao's military order that "those who dare to cry in the three armies" were weeping and mourning for Yuan Shang, and Wang Huan, who acted similarly to him, mourned for Yuan Tan, but Cao Cao did not care.
Tian Yu was reluctant to link his actions of revenge for his former lord to his interests, so he was reluctant to accept Cao Cao's reward, but he knowingly sent all the clans to Yecheng to show that he had no objection. After Tian Yu returned from the army to conquer Jingzhou, Cao Cao began to investigate Tian Domain's refusal to give a reward that year, and the refusal to give the reward could not be used to pretend to be free, which was actually against the laws of the imperial court.
"It is the aspiration of becoming one person, and the great system of the king's law is also"——"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Tian Domain"
Therefore, Cao Cao repeated the old matter, and he asked Tian Domain to accept the previous reward, but Tian Domain was willing to die in order to refuse the reward, so he repeated it 4 times, and Tian Domain never accepted it. Therefore, Tian Yu was impeached, not only was the reward gone, but also exempted from official punishment, Cao Cao still attached great importance to Tian Domain, so he allowed him to continue to disobey the order.

Cao Pi and Xun Yu both stood up and interceded for Tian Domain, and neither of them wanted Cao Cao to force Tian Domain, which would ruin the integrity that Tian Domain had insisted on for many years. Zhong Xuan's advice was a bit distorted, and he changed the deeds of Zigong and Zilu, ostensibly supporting Tian Domain, but in fact pointing out that Tian Domain should accept the reward like the sages.
In addition, Cao Cao had always been undeterred about the matter of sealing Tian Domain as Hou, and he sent Xiahou Huan to make friends with Tian Domain, preparing xiaozhi to be emotional and reasonable, and Tian Domain also understood Xiahou Huan's intentions, but he never let go. Xiahou Huan was still trying to persuade Tian Yu until he left, but Tian Yu cried that he really did not want to get a reward by betraying Lu Longsai, and once again expressed his willingness to die Mingzhi. At this point, Cao Cao finally stopped insisting, and Tian Yu was appointed as a yilang at the age of 46.

Note that Tian Yu is not unpublished, but has always refused to be rewarded.
