Lu'an City is located in the western part of Anhui Province, and during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was divided into Jiujiang County and Lujiang County of Yangzhou Thorn History Department. According to incomplete statistics, there are nine celebrities from the three countries whose origin is Lu'an City. Among them, there is one person in Huoshan County, two people in Huoqiu County, and three people in Shucheng County.
The famous person of the Three Kingdoms in Huoshan County is named He Zhen. He Zhen (何桢), courtesy name Yuangan,was a scholar during the reign of Emperor Cao Pi of Wei, and during the reign of Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming, he served as the Governor of Yangzhou, and then served as the Taishou of Hongnong County, the Assassin of Youzhou, and the Ting Wei. After the establishment of the Western Jin Empire, He Zhen served as Shangshu and Guanglu Doctor. He Zhen was a literary scholar of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and wrote a collection of five volumes, the most famous of which was Xu Dufu.
The two celebrities of Huoqiu County are from the famous Ding family, named Ding Feng and Ding Feng. Ding Feng, zi Chengyuan, joined the Eastern Wu clique in his early years, and successively served under the famous Eastern Wu generals such as Gan Ning, Lu Xun, and Pan Zhang. Although Ding Feng performed well on the battlefield, he was promoted much faster than other generals. Until the death of Sun Quan, the first emperor of Eastern Wu, Ding Feng was only a partial general.
In the first year of The Eastern Wu Jianxing (252 AD), Sun Quan died of illness and was succeeded by his grandson Liang. Ding Feng was promoted to the rank of Champion General and Marquis of Fengduting. In November of the same year, Cao Wei dispatched an army of 150,000 to launch an attack on Eastern Wu, and the Dongxing area at the junction of the two countries became the focus of Cao's attack, and Sima Zhao's 70,000-strong army pounced on the Dongxing area. In order to crush Cao Wei's attack, Eastern Wu's taifu Zhuge Ke led a 40,000-strong army to Dongxing, and Ding Feng also led his troops to participate in the battle.
Soon after the departure of the Eastern Wu army, Ding was ordered to lead the generals Tang Zhi, Lü Zhao, and 5,000 soldiers and horses to the Xutang area. It was the end of the year, and it was freezing cold and snowy. The general of the Cao Army, believing that Ding Feng could not launch an attack in such harsh climatic conditions, relaxed his vigilance. Ding Feng seized on this fatal negligence of his opponent and led his troops to launch a surprise attack, crushing the Cao army in one fell swoop. This battle also changed the situation of the Battle of Dongxing. The Eastern Wu army took advantage of the victory to pursue and achieved a great victory. After the war, Ding Feng was promoted to the rank of General of annihilation and was given the title of Marquis of Fengdu Township. In the years that followed, Ding Feng repeatedly defeated Cao Jun and was promoted to general of the left. In the first year of Eastern Wu Yong'an (259 AD), Ding was ordered by Emperor Wu Jing's Sun Xiu to behead the powerful minister Sun Qi, stabilizing the domestic situation in Eastern Wu, and was made a major general and a protector of the left and right, becoming the commander of the Eastern Wu army. In the third year of Eastern Wu Jianheng (271 AD), Ding Feng died of illness.
Ding Feng was the younger brother of Ding Feng, and was also a general of the Eastern Wu army. In the sixth year of Eastern Wu Yong'an (263 AD), the Battle of Shu began, and the later lord Liu Chan sent people to Eastern Wu for help, and Ding Feng and the general Sun Yi were ordered to enter the Hanshui area. However, before Ding Feng could enter the Shu Han, he received the news of the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Ding Feng had to lead his troops back to Eastern Wu. A few years later, Ding Feng died of illness.
Like the celebrities of Huoqiu County, the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms of Shucheng County also come from the same family, they are the famous Zhou family in the Three Kingdoms period of the late Han Dynasty, named Zhou Yu, Zhou Xun and Zhou Yin. Zhou Yu, also spelled Gongjin, was born in a family family and was extremely famous in the Jianghuai area. Zhou Yu had close relations with Sun Ce as a teenager, and in the first year of Emperor Xingping's reign (194 AD), he assisted Sun Ce in unifying the six counties of Jiangdong, making important contributions to the development and growth of the Eastern Wu clique. In the fifth year of Emperor Jian'an (200 AD), Sun Quan, who was only nineteen years old, took charge of the Eastern Wu clique, and Zhou Yu immediately became the commander of the Eastern Wu army. In the thirteenth year of Emperor Jian'an (208 AD), the Battle of Chibi broke out. Zhou Yu commanded Ruoding and burned Chibi, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. Soon after, Zhou Yu led his troops to besiege Jiangling and eventually captured Nan Commandery, a strategic stronghold of Jingzhou.
For the rapid development of Liu Bei Group, Zhou Yu was scrupulous. He repeatedly proposed to Sun Quan to limit the development of Liu Bei's clique, but all of them were rejected by Sun Quan. In the fifteenth year of Emperor Jian'an (210 AD), Zhou Yu fell ill and died in Baqiu. Both Zhou Xun and Zhou Yin were sons of Zhou Yu. Zhou Xunguan became a knight and married Sun Quan's daughter Sun Luban, and died of illness in the first year of The Yellow Dragon of Eastern Wu (229 AD). Zhou Yin served as a lieutenant of Xingye and was stationed in the public security, after which he was deposed for crimes, exiled to Luling County, and died of illness in the second year of Eastern Wu Chiwu (239 AD).
