Xu Daofu said calmly: "This Teng Dunzhi belongs to an aristocratic family in the Jin Dynasty. His ancestor Teng Xiu was the governor of Guangzhou of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period and General Pingnan. He led the troops of Guangzhou to rescue the country when Wu was destroyed in the Western Jin Dynasty.
The capital of Wu was built in Kangxi, but the state of Wu was dead halfway through. So he cried bitterly and surrendered to the Western Jin Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, sighed for his loyalty and let him continue to serve as the governor of Guangzhou, the governor of Guangzhou, and the military affairs of Jiaozhou. From then on,
From then on, the Teng family also became an influential family in Lingnan and Jiaozhou."
"After the Yongjia Rebellion, the Teng family used its influence in the south, and many of their descendants held official positions in Guangzhou and Jiankang. During Xie Xuan's last northern expedition, Teng Tianzhi, the prefect of Liyang, accompanied the army and worked with Liu Yu. Later,
Because he had no political talent and no vigilance in troubled times, after he took office, he behaved like a son of aristocratic family traveling around the mountains and rivers. He was attacked by the barbarians from Zhai tribe and Liyang was attacked, and he also lost his life. He was investigated afterwards.
The failure of the Northern Expedition resulted in the loss of divisions and territory, and the Teng family also lost power and officials for a long time."
"And this Teng Dunzhi is Teng Tianzhi's nephew. Considering that Teng had been an official in Jiaozhou for a long time and was familiar with the local situation, he took advantage of the fact that Du Yuan died of old age and illness in office and was still in court at that time.
Meng Chang, who was in power in the country, released Du Huidu to attend the funeral for his father. In fact, he relieved Du's hostages. At the same time, he also sent Teng Dunzhi, a young man from an aristocratic family, to take over as the governor of Jiaozhou. In fact, he wanted to take control of Jiaozhou from him.
It was recaptured from the hands of the local Du family who had been in power for decades."
Lu Xun sneered and said: "They have a pretty good idea. Local snakes are not free. If my prediction is correct, Teng Dunzhi may not be able to take office on his own and control Jiaozhou."
Xu Daofu laughed: "That's not true. Before the Tengdu people arrived in Jiaozhou, when they were still at sea, Li Xun, a wealthy family in Jiaozhou and the governor of Jiuzhen County, rebelled. This Li Xun was a local
Li people's tribe is also the most powerful one in Jiuzhen County. His father and son dominated the local area with their bravery. When Du Yuan was the governor of Jiaozhou, the Li family was very kind to them, and Li Xun also once and
Du Yuan fought side by side and defeated the invading Lin Yi army, which was regarded as some fighting friendship, so he also recognized and accepted the Du family as the governor."
"But when Teng Dunzhi came, I heard that he promised the Ruan family, another large local tribe, to take over the post of Jiuzhen County Governor, just like Teng Dunzhi took over the Du family's Jiaozhou governor. This Ruan family is
Before Teng Dunzhi set out, he traveled thousands of miles to give Teng Dunzhi many bribes in order to obtain the position of county governor. Therefore, Li Xun and his son were dissatisfied. As soon as Teng Dunzhi arrived in Jiaozhou, he started a rebellion and expelled Teng Dunzhi.
He appointed Ruan Kang, the governor of Jiuzhen County, and established a separate regime."
"Teng Dunzhi caused such a big incident and lost the hearts of the people in Jiaozhou. The governor could not continue his job. He only took office for ten days, so he could only board the ship and leave in despair. And this task of counterinsurgency, together with the local people
The governor's seal fell into Du Huidu's hands."
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "So Du Huidu pardoned Li Xun and his son for their rebellion and allowed them to continue to be the governor of Jiuzhen County. Is that so?"
Xu Daofu shook his head and said: "No, no, Li Xun only obeyed the former governor Du Yuan, because they fought together, and Li Xun was Du Yuan's subordinate, so he was in awe of the old coach.
Li Xun looked down upon such a person, thinking that he had become a descendant of one of those corrupt and degenerate aristocratic families.
, so he not only wanted to be the governor of Jiuzhen County, but also wanted to further seize Longbian, the capital of Jiaozhou, and directly become the governor of Jiaozhou, and establish his own rule."
"When Du Huidu's persuasion failed, he sent troops to fight Li Xun. Du Huidu learned a lot of real skills in Jiankang. He was definitely not a fool. Even Li Xun and his son, who had experienced hundreds of battles, learned a lot from him.
The art of war and the tactics of the Beifu Army were also at a disadvantage. In less than three months, Li Xun and his son were completely defeated. Li Xun and his two sons were beheaded by the formation. Half of his troops died in the battle, and half surrendered or collapsed. Du Huidu was not exhausted either.
He punished the entire Li tribe, but pardoned the rest of the party, and appointed his younger brother Du Xuanzhi as the governor of Jiuzhen County."
Lu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "This Du Huidu doesn't look simple. As soon as he took office, he put down the rebellion and gave Jiuzhen County the surname Du. I heard that Li Xun was from Jiaozhou.
The famous warrior once killed the chief general of the Linyi Army with his own hands, and his military reputation spread all over the southern country. It is really hard to believe that such a fierce general could be killed with one blow."
Xu Daofu said in a deep voice: "The martial prowess of these southern barbarians is just that of an ordinary man in the conflict between tribes. It is not that they are excellent in military tactics. When I met Du Huidu, who had studied the Beifu Army's tactics in Jiankang for many years,
, naturally vulnerable, and what Du Huidu brought back to Jiaozhou was also a thousand brave men he recruited from Wudi. Most of these people had participated in previous wars and had rich military experience. There were also veterans of Beifu. With the strength of these people
With the combat power, coupled with the grain, grass and ordnance that the Du family has accumulated for many years in Jiaozhou, it is more than enough to deal with the thousands of tribal soldiers and horses like Li Xun and his son."
Lu Xun curled his lips and said, "In that case, we can definitely defeat Du Huidu like this and capture Jiaozhou?"
Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "No matter how powerful Du Huidu is, he is only a thousand veterans of Wu. The others are just local natives of Wanjiaozhou. The level of these people is much worse than Sha Qianmo. In front of us, they are
It’s nothing to worry about, and besides, second brother, didn’t you also make a good alliance with Lin Yi State back then?”
Lu Xun stroked his long beard with satisfaction and said: "Yes, Linyi has always been a hegemon in the south, and it hates the Han people in the Central Plains very much, so whenever there is an opportunity, it will invade Jiaozhou. Since the Later Han Dynasty, this kind of conflict has
It has been going on for hundreds of years. Du Yuan has defeated Lin Yi's army several times and killed the princes and generals of Lin Yi. Lin Yi has a deep hatred for the Du family in Jiaozhou. I originally wanted to fight against him before I started my army.
It was not convenient to send troops to attack the Du family in Jiaozhou, so I made a good alliance with Linyi and wanted them to send troops, but these people are very smart. Over the years, they have only collected money and not done anything. To this day, they have not yet attacked Jiaozhou."
Xu Daofu nodded: "Jiaozhou, under the Du family, has defeated Linyi's army many times for decades, and more than a dozen of its princes and generals have died, so the king of Linyi is a little afraid of Du Yuan, an old thief. However,
Now that Du Yuan is dead, although Du Huidu defeated Li Xun and his son, there is still civil strife in Jiaozhou. Maybe this is a good opportunity for Lin Yi to send troops." (End of Chapter)
