Dianwei
2. Dianwei (?) –197), a native of Chen Liu Jiwu (present-day Jiwucheng Village, Ningling County, Shangqiu City, Henan). A famous general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Dianwei is Chen Liuji. He is burly, courageous, ambitious, and has a heroic personality. At that time, his fellow villager Liu Shi and Li Yong of Suiyang were enemies, and Dianwei complained for Liu Shi. Li Yong was once the head of Fuchun, and the guard at home was very strict. Dianwei drove, carrying chicken wine, pretending to be an idle person who was waiting for others; when Li Yongfu opened the door in front of the mansion and Li Yong personally left the palace, Dianwei went forward with a dagger to intercept Li Yong and kill Li Yong's wife, and then slowly walked out, took out the knife on the car, and left on foot. Because Li Yong's residence is close to the city, the whole city was shocked after this incident. Although there are hundreds of people chasing from behind, no one dares to approach. Dianwei traveled for four or five miles, met Li Yong and accompanied the crowd, and soon after the two sides turned to battle, Dianwei escaped and left, and has since been appreciated by Haojie's men.
During the Chuping period (190-193), when Zhang Mi raised a volunteer army, he enlisted Wei as a soldier and was subordinate to Sima Zhao. The Yamen Banner in the army was so long and large that people could not lift it, and Dianwei actually held it up with one hand, and Sima Zhao was amazed at its strange power. Later, Dianwei was transferred to Xiahou Huan, and was beheaded several times and was worshipped as Sima (司馬).
In 194 (the first year of Xingping), Cao Cao befriended Lü Bu in Puyang. Lü Bubei placed his army in puyang forty or fifty miles west, and Cao Cao went to attack qitun at night, which was broken the next morning. The Cao army had not yet returned in time, and Lü Bu's rescue troops had arrived, and the two sides fought on three sides. At that time, Lü Bu personally fought, and from morning to sunset, the two sides fought dozens of battles, and they were very anxious to hold each other. Cao Cao temporarily recruited candidates to break through the enemy line, Dianwei first occupied the recruitment, and led the rest of the recruits to about dozens of people, all of whom were heavily armored with two pieces of armor, did not hold shields, and only held spears. At the same time, the situation in the west was urgent, Dianwei rushed to block the enemy, the thief army's bows and crossbows were fired randomly, arrows were like rain, Dianwei ignored it, and said to his entourage: "When the thief army comes within ten steps, he will tell me." Soon the retinue said, "Ten steps." Dianwei said, "Tell me again within five steps." Fearful, the entourage immediately said, "The army of thieves has arrived!" "Dianwei held more than ten small halberds in his hand, shouted loudly, and threw them at the enemy with their halberds, and none of the throwers fell down. After a long battle, Lü Bu's army retreated. At this time, it was just the twilight of the day, and Cao Cao was able to lead the army away.
Cao Cao worshiped Wei as a lieutenant and placed him on the left and right, leading hundreds of his own soldiers, often patrolling the army in large tents. The Dianwei people are both strong and martial, and the soldiers they lead are strictly selected pawns, and every time they fight, the Dianwei troops often ascend to the battlefield first. Dianwei was later moved to lieutenant. His character was loyal and respectful, and he often stood in the morning all day, and at night he slept around the tent, and rarely returned to the house to sleep privately. His people are very good at drinking and eating, and the amount of food is both human, and whenever there is food to give, they drink a lot of wine, and those who belong to each other on the left and right provide their own wine and food for Dianwei, and Cao Cao is strong and strong. Dianwei also likes to carry large double halberds and long knives, etc., and there is a proverb in the army: "There are pawns under the tent, and a pair of halberds is eighty pounds." ”
In 197 (the second year of Jian'an), Cao Cao marched to Jingzhou and came to Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu surrendered. Cao Cao was very pleased, so he invited Zhang Xiu and his generals to join him in the banquet. When Cao Cao was drinking, Dianwei stood behind him with a large axe, and the axe blade was more than a foot long, and in front of the people Cao Cao went to, Dianwei raised his axe to force his eyes. At the end of the banquet, Zhang Xiu and his generals did not dare to look up. More than ten days later, Zhang Xiu was quite humiliated because Cao Cao accepted his aunt, so he accepted Jia Xu's suggestion, suddenly rebelled, and surprised Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao was caught off guard by killing, and the battle was unfavorable, and he rode away lightly. Dianwei fought in front of the door, and the thieves could not get in. The thieves then dispersed and entered the camp through other gates. At that time, there were still more than ten people in the military academy under Dianwei, all of whom fought fiercely to the death, and all of them were ten in one. However, the thief army was both front and back, and Dianwei struck it left and right with a long halberd, and when it was struck, it broke more than ten spears of the thief soldiers. After Dianwei left and right, the casualties were slightly exhausted, and Dianwei itself was also wounded by dozens, and the two sides engaged in short battles, and the thieves fought forward. Dianwei then took the two men with his bare hands and killed them, and the rest of the thieves did not dare to come closer. Dianwei clashed with the thieves and killed several more people, but the wounds were repeated, and Dianwei died of anger and scolding. The thief army dared to move forward, took the head of the pawn, and looked at each other, and the overthrowing army looked at its skeleton. Cao Cao retreated to Wuyin, and when he heard that Dianwei was dead, he wept bitterly for it, recruited spies to retrieve his body, personally wept, sent him back to Xiangyi, and worshipped his son Dianman as Langzhong. Every time the car passes by, it is often imprisoned in the temple. Cao Cao remembered Dianwei, worshiped Dianman as Sima and was introduced as a close attendant. After Cao Pi took the throne, he made Dianman a lieutenant and gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei.
