After the death of Sun Quan, the Emperor of Wu, this legendary figure took over the foundation laid by his father and brother in the fifth year of Jian'an, ruled Jiangdong for fifty years, and finally ushered in his own end.
However, Ding Feng was the only one left among the Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangbiao. The successor, Sun Liang, was Sun Quan's youngest son, who was only ten years old at the time.

For Sima Shi, the actual ruler of Cao Wei, this was a godsend opportunity. If he could first destroy Eastern Wu and then take Shu Han, this tremendous achievement would be enough to support him in deposing Wei and proclaiming himself emperor. So he appointed his younger brother Sima Zhao as the commander-in-chief, marshal, and military supervisor, and divided his troops into three routes to attack Wu.

But before the war, the two brothers were in a dilemma. General Wang Chang, General Hu Zun, General Guanqiu Jian, General Guanqiu Jian all proposed completely different strategies to attack Wu.

"Ding Feng became a general because of his bravery when he was young. He served under the command of generals Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Pan Zhang and others. He also participated in many battles and made great achievements."

"Whenever he fought, Ding Feng was able to kill the generals and seize the flags, and he was later promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General."

"In the second year of Taiyuan, Emperor Sun Quan of Wu died, and his son Sun Liang succeeded him. Ding Feng was also promoted to General of the Champion and was granted the title of Marquis of Duting."

"In October of the same year, Wei's general Sima Shi planned to attack Wu in three directions."

"He appointed General Sima Zhao of the East as the commander-in-chief, and led General Hu Zun of the East, General Zhuge Dan of the East, and 70,000 others to attack Wu. General Zhuge Ke of Wu ordered his men to build a large embankment and two cities between two mountains to prevent the invasion of the Wei army."

"When Zhuge Ke arrived in Dongxing, all his generals believed that the Wei army would retreat, but Ding Feng alone proposed,"

"The Wei army mobilized its troops within the country and brought all the troops from Xuchang and Luoyang to come here in a large force. They must have set a clear goal,"

"We will not return without gaining anything. We should not expect the enemy to retreat without a fight. Only by being fully prepared can we defeat the enemy."

"After Zhuge Ke arrived on the shore, Ding Feng and the Wu generals Tang Zi, Lu Ju, Liu Zan and others marched westward along the mountain. During the march, Ding Feng pointed out that the troops were marching too slowly. If the enemy occupied the advantageous terrain, it would be difficult for us to fight them."

"Afterwards, Ding Feng left the marching route of the main force and led his 3,000 men forward alone."

"The north wind was blowing at the time, and Ding Feng's army arrived at the front line in two days by boat and successfully occupied Xutang."

"Not long after, a heavy snow fell. Ding Feng encountered the enemy's vanguard and found that the Wei army generals were drinking and talking. He told his men that it was time to make contributions and receive rewards."

"At the same time, the soldiers were ordered to take off their armor and helmets and take out short weapons to fight the enemy."

"When the Wei army saw Ding Feng's army, they burst into laughter and did not immediately mobilize their troops to fight the enemy."

"When the Wu soldiers climbed up the mountain, Ding Feng's army immediately beat drums and shouted, breaking through the front camp of the Wei army."

"At that time, Lü Ju, Tang Zi and others also arrived one after another. The Wei army was terrified and fled in all directions, scrambling to cross the pontoon bridge, which caused the pontoon bridge to be damaged and broken. The Wei soldiers jumped into the water themselves, trampling on each other to escape, and the Wei army was defeated."

"After the Battle of Dongxing, Ding Feng was promoted to General of Bandit Suppression and was granted the title of Marquis of Duxiang for his meritorious service."

"In the second year of Wufeng, Wei general Wen Qin surrendered to Wu after his defeat at the hands of Sima Shi. Ding Feng was appointed General Huwei and followed General Sun Jun to Shouchun to meet Wen Qin and rush to Wu."

"Not long after, the Wu army and the pursuing troops of the Wei State fought in the Gaoting area. During the battle, Ding Feng rode on his horse and charged into the enemy's formation with a spear, killing hundreds of people and seizing a large amount of military equipment."

"And he successfully rescued Wen Qin. After the battle, Ding Feng was named Marquis of Anfeng for his merits."

"In the second year of Taiping, Zhuge Dan, the general of Wei, rebelled because he was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Sima family, and was besieged by the Wei army in Shouchun."

"Soon after, they surrendered to Sun Wu and begged for reinforcements. After Sun Wu's young emperor Sun Liang and the powerful minister Sun Chen received Zhuge Dan's request,

Li Bai: Shangshu Fu Gu not only thought that the strategies of the three people were not good, but also directly pointed out that this southern expedition would inevitably fail.

But Sima Shi, who was eager to usurp the throne, could not wait any longer. After all, if he waited any longer, would Emperor Cao Fang of Wei tolerate such a powerful minister?
And the Dongwu side was indeed as Fu Gu said. When Zhuge Ke, who was promoted to Dongwu's Grand Tutor, learned that the three armies of Wei were on the march, he reacted quickly.

He quickly led his generals to resist, blocked the water of Chaohu Lake, and built Dongxing City. The Battle to Defend Dongxing was about to begin.

Although he was listed as one of the "Tiger Ministers of Jiang Biao", in fact, Ding Feng was far less successful than the others. He was not a direct descendant of Sun Quan.

He followed Gan Ning, Lu Xun, and Pan Zhang. Although he was the bravest among the whole army, he was not given important positions. He risked his life again and again.

Before Sun Quan's death, Ding Feng was only a lieutenant general. It was not until Sun Liang became emperor and rewarded his ministers that Ding Feng was promoted to champion general and was granted a title of nobility.

The iron hoof of Wei State came just because of the death of Emperor Wu, but the generals of Eastern Wu including Zhuge Ke did not care.
They thought that the Wei people were just showing off their military strength. After all, it was unjust to take advantage of the country's loss to start a war.

The morale of the Wei people will drop, while the Eastern Wu will fight with a desperate army, so the advantage is on my side!

Sima Zhao also believed that he had the upper hand, after all, he had 70,000 soldiers under his command.

Zhuge Ke, who came to rescue Dongxing, led only 40,000 troops, and there were two other armies led by Wang Chang and Guanqiu Jian. Sima Shi's idea was very clear, that is, to fight all three armies at once.
However, the generals of Cao Wei would never have thought that they would soon become background boards and stepping stones, using themselves to help Zhuge Ke and Ding Feng succeed.

The Wei army was coming in full force. In order to buy time, Zhuge Ke did not wait for the army to gather.

Instead, he ordered Ding Feng and others to lead the way. What he didn't expect was that Ding Feng was even more ruthless than him. In order to advance quickly, Ding Feng set sail and reached Dongxing in two days.
With only 3,000 men, he didn't even have time to rest, but directly attacked the Wei army vanguard on the dike with his naked clothes and knife in hand.

The victory at Dongxing did not bring about the revival of the Eastern Wu. When powerful enemies attacked, the officials of the Eastern Wu could still fight together.
But after repelling the covetous ones, they started fighting among themselves again. The first one to become arrogant was Zhuge Ke.
He believed that Wei had just been defeated and was unable to resist, and that he should quickly send troops to attack Wei. However, due to lack of support, Zhuge Ke was quickly defeated.

However, the headstrong Zhuge Ke took very dangerous actions: he dismissed officials, promoted his cronies, and changed the imperial guards. Zhuge Ke was eager to wash away the shame of defeat, but he forgot his immediate superior, Emperor Wu Sun Liang.
Sun Jun, who was originally on good terms with Zhuge Ke and was also his regent, could no longer stand this, and the two conspired to get rid of Zhuge Ke.

A similar scene but with a different ending also happened in Cao Wei. The brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao killed Emperor Cao Fang and Cao Mao of Wei successively. Both sides could only deal with their internal troubles first. In the "Two Palaces Dispute", perhaps because of their low status and low influence, neither Crown Prince Sun He nor King Lu Sun Ba tried to win over Ding Feng.

Ding Feng did not allow himself to be imprisoned. Now that he has risen to a high position thanks to his military achievements in the Dongxing victory, Ding Feng still did not participate in the struggle for power.
He was successively ordered to support Wen Qin, Zhuge Dan and others who rebelled against Wei in Shouchun. He had no grudge against the rule of Sun Jun and Sun Chen until Sun Xiu, the Emperor Jing of Wu, ascended the throne and approached him.

The regents left by Sun Quan, Zhuge Ke, Lu Ju, and Teng Yin, were all killed by their brothers, and Sun Chen even deposed and enthroned the emperor.

The political hall of the Eastern Wu was in chaos. Sun Xiu wanted to revive the court. After consulting Ding Feng, he successfully killed Sun Chen.

Because of his contribution in this matter, Ding Feng was promoted to the rank of general and conferred the titles of left and right protector generals, finally reaching the pinnacle of the military ranks of the Eastern Wu.

With the reluctant support of Ding Feng and others, the Eastern Wu defeated both Shu Han and Cao Wei.
But facing the more powerful Sima Jin, there was nothing they could do. Although Ding Feng used a strategy of sowing discord to drive away the Western Jin Dynasty's Grand Sima Shi Bao who was guarding Huainan,

However, he encountered the famous tyrant Sun Hao, and he was inevitably arrogant and conceited after his high position and power. After his death,
Sun Hao killed his son Ding Wen and exiled his family. The fate of this veteran general who served four emperors is truly regrettable.

"First, he sent Zhu Yi, Tang Zi and other generals to rescue Zhuge Dan, and then he sent Ding Feng and Li Fei to rescue him,"

"He ordered Ding Feng to be the vanguard and stationed in Lijiang. Later, because of his heroic efforts in the battle, he was promoted to the rank of Left General."

"In the second year of Taiping, the conflict between Sun Liang and Sun Chen became increasingly intense."

"Soon after, Sun Liang began to investigate the unjust killing of his sister Sun Luyu by Sun Jun, and punished Sun Luban's sons Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun for not doing their best to prevent the unjust killing."

"Ding Feng followed Sun Liang's orders and killed Zhu Xiong in Hulin, and then killed Zhu Sun in Jianye."

"This incident led to an intensification of the conflict between Sun Liang and Sun Chen. In September of the third year of Taiping, Sun Chen deposed Sun Liang, established Sun Xiu as emperor, and changed the era name to Yong'an."

"After Sun Xiu ascended the throne, the left general Zhang Bu conspired to murder Sun Chen. Zhang Bu recommended Ding Feng to Sun Xiu because Ding Feng could make decisions on important matters."

"So Sun Xiu summoned Ding Feng and proposed to kill Sun Chen because of his dictatorship. Ding Feng pointed out that Sun Chen had many followers,"

"Killing him at once might make it difficult to unify the people, but he could use the sacrifice as an excuse to kill Sun Chen with his personal soldiers. Sun Xiu adopted Ding Feng's plan."

"On December 8, the first year of the Yong'an reign, Sun Xiu invited Sun Chen to participate in the twelfth month sacrifice, but Sun Chen said he was ill and could not go."

"But because Sun Xiu had invited so many envoys, he had no choice but to go to the sacrifice. During the sacrifice, Sun Chen saw that the situation was not good and wanted to leave again."

"Ding Feng and Zhang Bumu instructed their guards to tie up Sun Chen. Sun Xiu listed all of Sun Chen's crimes and beheaded him."

"Sun Xiu, Ding Feng and others showed Sun Chen's head, pardoned the rest of his tribe, exterminated Sun Chen's three clans, and began to hunt down Sun Chen's brother Sun Kai who was trying to go north."

"Ding Feng was promoted to general for his meritorious service in killing Sun Chen, and was given the titles of left and right protector generals. The following year, Ding Feng was given the title of temporary governor and appointed governor of Xuzhou."

"In the sixth year of Yong'an, Wei attacked Shu. Ding Feng led his troops to Shouchun, pretending to save Shu. Soon, Shu was destroyed, and Ding Feng led his troops back."

"The following year, Sun Xiu died. Ding Feng and Prime Minister Puyang Xing followed the advice of Minister Wan Yu and jointly established Sun Quan's eldest grandson, Wucheng Marquis Sun Hao, as emperor. Ding Feng was also promoted to Right Grand Marshal and Left Military Advisor for his contribution to supporting the emperor."

"In the third year of Baoding, Sun Hao sent Ding Feng and Zhuge Liang to attack Hefei together. Ding Feng adopted a strategy of sowing discord and wrote a letter to Shi Bao, a general of the Western Jin Dynasty, to have him recalled from the front line. The following year, Ding Feng led his troops to Xutang and attacked Guyang of the Western Jin Dynasty."

"The people of Guyang evacuated Guyang in advance after hearing the news. Ding Feng gained nothing. Sun Hao was furious and killed Ding Feng's guide."

"In the first month of the second year of Jianheng, Ding Feng attacked Wokou, but was repelled by Qian Hong, the governor of Yangzhou in the Western Jin Dynasty."

"In the third year of Jianheng, Ding Feng passed away. He became arrogant because of his achievements during his lifetime, so some people began to slander him after his death."

"Afterwards, Sun Hao also began to hold Ding Feng responsible for the failure of his expedition to Guyang. Although Ding Feng was dead, Sun Hao exiled all of Ding Feng's family members to Linchuan County."

Su Shi: Ding Feng became famous at a young age and was proficient in the techniques of swords, spears, sticks and clubs. After he became an adult, he followed Eastern Wu generals such as Gan Ning, Lu Xun and Pan Zhang to fight on the battlefield. He performed outstandingly in many wars and was therefore promoted to a general by Wu lord Sun Quan.

In the second year of Taiyuan, Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Eastern Wu, passed away and his son Sun Liang ascended the throne as Emperor Shao of Wu. When the emperor of Cao Wei in the north heard the news, he thought it was a good opportunity to attack Eastern Wu, so he appointed Zhuge Dan and Hu Zun as generals to lead the Cao Wei army to attack Dongxing City under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Wu regime.

At that time, when the Wu Emperor Sun Liang saw the powerful army of Cao Wei approaching, he sent Taifu Zhuge Ke to lead the troops to resist. In order to please Taifu Zhuge Ke, some generals of Eastern Wu deliberately praised Taifu Zhuge Ke, saying that as long as Taifu Zhuge Ke led the troops forward, the Cao Wei army would be frightened and afraid to fight and flee.

The veteran general Ding Feng expressed a different view after hearing this. He said to the generals of the Eastern Wu: Cao Wei has gathered heavy troops in Xuchang, Luoyang and other places and marched here with a very clear purpose. How could it give up halfway? What we need to do now is to actively prepare for war, rather than expect Cao Wei to retreat without a fight.

Ding Feng's words were well-reasoned and convinced the Grand Tutor Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke immediately gave an order, ordering the Eastern Wu soldiers to board the ship and cross the river to meet the Cao Wei army.

After the Eastern Wu soldiers crossed the river, Ding Feng chose to split up with the Eastern Wu army and led his 5,000 soldiers to occupy Xutang first. Later, he took advantage of the time when Cao Wei's vanguard troops were setting up camp and launched a surprise attack. Cao Wei's vanguard troops were defeated and retreated, thus winning the first victory for Eastern Wu and gaining the initiative in the Battle of Dongxing. After this victory was reported to Jiankang, Wu's young emperor Sun Liang was overjoyed and immediately issued an edict to promote Ding Feng to the rank of General Destroying Bandits in recognition of his achievements in this battle.

In the second year of Taiping, an incident occurred in Eastern Wu. Emperor Sun Liang was deposed by the powerful minister Sun Chen. Later, Sun Chen supported the young Sun Xiu as emperor in order to control the government. The new emperor of Eastern Wu, Sun Xiu, was very disgusted with Sun Chen's hegemony, so he summoned the left general Zhang Bu to discuss countermeasures.

However, the Left General Zhang Bu believed that he and the new emperor Sun Xiu were too weak to subdue the powerful minister Sun Chen, so he suggested that Sun Xiu persuade the old general Ding Feng of the Eastern Wu to deal with the powerful minister Sun Chen together. So Sun Xiu summoned the old general Ding Feng of the Eastern Wu and told Ding Feng about his plan to kill the powerful minister Sun Chen.

When Ding Feng heard this, he expressed his indignation that he was willing to be used by the new emperor Sun Xiu to deal with Sun Chen, the powerful minister. So on January 259, 1 AD, Sun Xiu held a twelfth lunar month sacrifice in the palace, and Sun Chen was invited to participate. At the site of the sacrifice, Ding Feng had deployed heavy troops in advance. When the activity was halfway through, he and Zhang Bu suddenly attacked Sun Chen. Sun Chen tried to escape, but was caught by the heavy troops ambushed by Ding Feng in advance. (End of this chapter)
