Dian Wei was a burly man with extraordinary strength. He liked to do good deeds and was a hero. In his early years, he avenged others and killed someone without authorization before fleeing.

During the Chuping period, Dian Wei defected to Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, and later defected to Xiahou Dun. He fought in many battles and made great contributions, and was promoted to Sima.

In the first year of Xingping, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong conspired to welcome Lü Bu and launch a rebellion in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao led his army to attack and fought a fierce battle with Lu Bu in Puyang, where the two armies were at a stalemate.

Dian Wei led dozens of his soldiers to charge into the enemy camp and repel Lu Bu, allowing Cao Cao to retreat.

After the war, Dian Wei was promoted to captain, responsible for guarding Cao Cao's camp, and was soon promoted to Wumeng captain.

In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao marched south to Jingzhou and arrived at Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu surrendered.

Soon Zhang Xiu rebelled and led his troops to attack Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao was defeated in the first battle and fled on horseback.

Dian Wei led his troops in a desperate battle with Zhang Xiu, but was eventually outnumbered and was seriously injured and died in battle.

When Cao Cao heard that Dian Wei had died in battle, he was deeply saddened. He took back his body and buried it in Xiangyi, where he personally cried and offered sacrifices.

Dian Wei was praised as a brave general by later generations. Chen Shou said that he was majestic and powerful, loyal, cautious and steady.
Zhang Ao and Zhu Liang of the Tang Dynasty compared Dian Wei with famous generals such as Fan Kuai, Ji Bu, and Yang Hu;

Yuan Mei and Pan Mei of the Qing Dynasty believed that Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were generals of the same level. They were loyal, brave and heroic, but unfortunately they were not granted the title of nobility.

"Dian Wei is a man of great stature and strength. He likes to fight for the weak and has a chivalrous spirit."

"A family named Liu in Xiangyi County has a grudge against Li Yong in Suiyang County. Dian Wei wants to avenge the Liu family."

"However, Li Yong once served as the magistrate of Fuchun County, and the guards around him were very vigilant."

"In order to get close to Li Yong, Dian Wei used an ox cart to carry chickens and wine as gifts and disguised himself as someone going to meet Li Yong,"

"He entered the mansion and killed Li Yong and his wife with a dagger, then walked out slowly, took out the swords and halberds from the carriage and left."

"Li Yong lived near the market, and Dian Wei's killing shocked everyone in the market."

"The government sent people to arrest Dian Wei. Hundreds of people chased Dian Wei, but no one dared to approach him because of his bravery."

"Dian Wei ran four or five miles, met his companions who helped him, and fought hard with the government officials before he was able to escape."

"Because of this incident, Dian Wei's reputation became known to local heroes."

"In the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo seized power. Chenliu governor Zhang Miao, together with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo."

"Dian Wei went to Zhang Miao and served as a sergeant under him. He was under the command of Sima Zhao Chong. He once raised the Yamen flag with one hand. Zhao Chong was amazed by his talent and ability."

"Later, Dian Wei defected to Xiahou Dun, and he fought many battles and made great contributions, and was promoted to Sima."

"In the first year of Xingping, when Cao Cao was conquering Xuzhou, his general Zhang Miao and his adviser Chen Gong conspired to welcome Lü Bu and start a rebellion in Yanzhou, and all the counties in Yanzhou responded one after another."

"Cao Cao hurriedly led his army back from Xuzhou to attack Lu Bu."

"Lü Bu is stationed in another military camp about 40 to 50 miles west of Puyang."

"Cao Cao took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launched a night attack, defeating them at daybreak."

"But before they could retreat, Lu Bu arrived with reinforcements and attacked Cao Cao's army from three sides."

"Lü Bu personally took part in the battle, and the battle lasted from morning till the sun set. The two armies engaged in battle dozens of times, and the two sides were at a stalemate. The situation was extremely critical."

"Cao Cao recruited a death squad to charge into battle. Dian Wei took the lead and signed up, leading dozens of recruited warriors. All of them wore two layers of armor, discarded their shields, and charged with spears and halberds."

"At this time, the two wings of the army were attacked fiercely by the enemy, and Dian Wei led the death squad to resist."

"Dian Wei ignored the enemy's arrows and fought with more than ten halberds in hand, and all the enemy soldiers fell without a fight."

"Lü Bu was defeated and led his army to retreat. As it was getting dark, Cao Cao's army was able to retreat smoothly."

"Dian Wei fought bravely against Lu Bu and made great contributions, so Cao Cao promoted him to be a captain and let him stay by his side, leading several hundred soldiers," and often patrolling the military camp.

"Dian Wei is a man of great courage and bravery, and the men he leads are all carefully selected soldiers."

"Every time there was a battle, he was the first to lead his troops to charge and capture the enemy's position."

"Soon after, he was promoted to Wu Meng Xiao Wei because of his military achievements."

"Dian Wei was loyal by nature. He always stood beside Cao Cao and served him during the day, and slept near the big tent at night. He seldom returned to his own tent to rest."

Li Bai: In the long river of history, there was a brave general named Dian Wei. He was the most powerful general under Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period.

Although he never killed a famous general on the battlefield, half of the chapters in the Records of the Three Kingdoms are devoted to describing his bravery.

Even Guan Yu, who is known as the Martial Saint, is only recorded as riding a horse and stabbing Liang among thousands of people. So, how fierce is Dian Wei?

Dian Wei was born in Ningling County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province. He was tall and strong, with a generous personality. He liked to be a hero since his youth.

He had a friend named Liu, who had a feud with Li Yong from Suiyang.

Regardless of the other party's identity, Dian Wei decided to avenge his friend.

He drove a car, disguised as an ordinary citizen, and ambushed in front of Li Yong's mansion.

When Li Yong left the house, he rushed forward with a dagger, killed Li Yong and his wife, and then left on foot.

Although there were hundreds of people chasing him, no one dared to step forward to catch him.

This incident made Dian Wei famous and he was appreciated by heroes.

In 190 AD, Dong Zhuo was wreaking havoc in the government and the country, so Cao Cao raised an army and formed an anti-Dong coalition army.

With nowhere else to go, Dian Wei joined the army and served under Sima Zhao Chong.

During a military flag ceremony, Cao Cao saw Dian Wei raising a huge flag with one hand, which made him realize Dian Wei's strength.

Afterwards, Cao Cao appointed Dian Wei as a captain, responsible for protecting his safety.

In 194 AD, Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought a fierce battle.

In a night attack, Cao Cao's army defeated one of Lu Bu's forces.

But when Cao Cao was about to return, Lu Bu arrived with reinforcements.

The battle was fierce. In order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated, Cao Cao selected a death squad led by Dian Wei, who successfully delayed the enemy and allowed Cao Cao to escape.

After this battle, Dian Wei's status was greatly improved and he was appointed as a colonel.

In 197 AD, Cao Cao went south to attack Zhang Xiu. After Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao fell in love with Zhang Xiu's aunt and wanted to take Hu Che'er, a fierce general under Zhang Xiu, as his apprentice.

This made Zhang Xiu feel deeply insulted, and he rebelled ten days later.

Cao Cao was caught off guard and had to flee. Dian Wei fought at the gate and was unstoppable. In the end, he died of his wounds. Cao Cao wept bitterly for him and offered a large reward for his body.

Although Dian Wei never participated in any famous battles in his life, nor did he kill any famous generals on the battlefield, his bravery left a deep mark in history books.

His loyalty and bravery were unmatched. Whenever Cao Cao's carriage passed through Xiangyi, he would pay tribute to Dian Wei.

Later, Cao Pi ascended the throne and appointed Dian Wei's son Dian Man as a commander and granted him the title of Guannei Hou.

In 243 AD, Dian Wei was enshrined in Cao Cao's temple.

This heroic general interpreted loyalty and bravery with his life. His deeds will be recorded in history forever and inspire future generations.

"Dian Wei liked to drink wine and eat meat, and his appetite was twice that of an average person. Every time Cao Cao rewarded him with wine and food, he would drink and eat voraciously. He kept bringing him wine and food, and it took several people to bring him food in turns. Cao Cao admired his heroic spirit very much."

"Dian Wei likes to use heavy weapons such as double halberds and long swords. The length of the hand halberd he holds is nearly one foot long. It is rumored in the army that his pair of long halberds weighs 80 kilograms."

"In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao marched south to Jingzhou and led his army to Wancheng, where Zhang Xiu surrendered."

"Cao Cao was very happy and invited Zhang Xiu and his generals to a banquet."

"Cao Cao personally poured wine for Zhang Xiu and others. Dian Wei stood behind Cao Cao holding a large axe with a blade as long as one foot. Whenever Cao Cao came to pour wine for someone, Dian Wei would hold the axe and stare at that person."

"Throughout the entire banquet, Zhang Xiu and his generals did not dare to look up."

"Soon after Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao married the widow of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji, which Zhang Xiu secretly resented. When Cao Cao heard about it, he plotted to get rid of Zhang Xiu."

"Unexpectedly, the news leaked out, Zhang Xiu rebelled, and led his troops to attack Cao Cao's camp first."

"Cao was hasty in his fight, and the situation was unfavorable, so he had no choice but to flee on horseback with light equipment."

"Dian Wei led his troops to fight Zhang Xiu's army at the gate of the military camp. The rebels could not get in, so they dispersed and attacked from other gates."

"At that time, Dian Wei had more than ten men around him, all of whom fought desperately, each one of them fighting ten to one."

"However, the rebels gathered more and more, and Dian Wei attacked left and right with a long halberd. With one thrust of the halberd, more than a dozen enemy spears were broken."

"Finally, because they were outnumbered, all of their men were killed or wounded, and Dian Wei was also wounded dozens of times. He engaged the enemy in close combat. The enemy soldiers rushed forward to grab him, but Dian Wei held two of them with his arms and used them to hit the enemy. The remaining enemies did not dare to come forward."

"Dian Wei charged forward again and killed several people. At this time, his severe injuries flared up. Dian Wei's eyes widened, and he died cursing."

"The enemy then dared to step forward, cut off his head, showed it among the army, and then ran back to see his body."

"Cao Cao led the remaining troops to retreat to Wuyin County and stationed there. When he heard that Dian Wei had died bravely in battle, he wept bitterly and recruited spies to retrieve Dian Wei's body. After personally weeping and offering sacrifices, he sent people to Xiangyi County for burial."

"After Dian Wei died, Cao Cao appointed his son Dian Man as Zhonglang."

"Every time Cao Cao passed by Dian Wei's tomb, he would offer sacrifices to him with pigs and sheep."

"Cao Cao missed Dian Wei, and soon promoted Dian Man to Sima and kept him by his side."

"In the 25th year of Jian'an, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, ascended the throne and appointed Dian Man as a commander and granted him the title of Guannei Hou."

"In the fourth year of Zhengshi, the imperial court issued an edict that Dian Wei and other deceased officers from Cao Cao's time could be offered sacrifices in the temple of Cao Cao, the Emperor Wu of Wei."

Su Shi: After Dian Wei defected to Cao Cao, he was appointed as the vanguard. He showed bravery in the expedition against Lu Bu and was appointed as the captain, responsible for guarding Cao Cao.

In the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu betrayed Cao Cao. In order to protect Cao Cao's safety, Dian Wei led a dozen people to engage in a fierce battle with the rebels.

Although Dian Wei was eventually killed in battle due to being outnumbered, his heroic deeds are remembered in history.

Dian Wei's martial arts were very advanced, and was described by historian Pan Mei as "mighty and heroic, not inferior to Zhang Liao and Xu Chu."

Not only was he extremely brave in battle, he was also a man of steadfast loyalty and selfless devotion.

His image has not only left a deep impression in history, but there are also many stories about him in folk legends.

Dian Wei's loyalty and bravery were not only shown in his battles, but also in his deep affection for Cao Cao.

In the 15th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao won a great victory in the Battle of Wancheng. His general Lu Bu was defeated, and his subordinates Hu Che'er and Qin Yilu surrendered.

After Cao Cao got them, he entrusted them to the command of Dian Wei.

After Dian Wei took command of them, he ate, lived and worked with them, and often taught them how to become a loyal and brave soldier.

Under Dian Wei's teachings, these former surrendered generals became loyal and brave men, and Dian Wei's glorious image was also praised by people.

In short, Dian Wei was an outstanding general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His loyalty, bravery and selfless dedication will be remembered forever in history.

His brave image and spirit inspire future generations to fight for justice. Dian Wei's deeds are not only his personal glory and achievement, but also one of the models of heroism in Chinese history.

It is worth mentioning that there are many famous descendants of Dian Wei in history.

For example, his seventh-generation grandson was a famous general during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, General Longxiang, and the Duke of Chenliu.
The eighth-generation grandson was Dianwu, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and Duke of Xiangcheng; the ninth-generation grandson was Diancan, the famous poet, Shangshu Youcheng and the governor of Jiangzhou;
His great-grandson was the famous prime minister, minister of the imperial court, and Duke of Jiang, Dianyan, during the Tang Dynasty; his great-great-grandson was the famous poet, Langzhong of the Zuosi, and male Dianxuan of Xiangwu County during the Tang Dynasty.

The emergence of these later celebrities is inseparable from Dian Wei's heroic spirit.

Dian Wei was originally from Jiwu, Chenliu. He was extremely strong and powerful, and he always took chivalry as his mission.

His fellow villager Liu had a deep hatred with Li Yong from Suiyang, and Dian Wei was so angry that he acted like a hero.

Li Yong was once the mayor of Fuchun. He was very powerful in the local area and his security work was usually very good.

Dian Wei drove a carriage with chicken and wine on it, and pretended to be waiting for someone in front of Li Yong's mansion.

As soon as Li Yong went out, Dian Wei jumped out, took out the dagger in his arms and stabbed Li Yong to death. Then he rushed into Li's house and killed Li Yong's wife.

Then, Dian Wei walked out slowly, took out his sword and spear from the car, and prepared to leave on foot.

Li Yong's home was near the downtown area. People on the street were terrified. Hundreds of people surrounded and chased the murderer Dian Wei, but no one dared to approach.

Dian Wei walked calmly for four or five miles and was caught up by Li Yong's men. Dian Wei fought with them but still managed to escape.

From then on, Dian Wei's reputation spread throughout the world, and all the heroes admired him very much.

From this incident, we can see that Dian Wei is very different from ordinary people. He just acts rashly and is brave but not smart.

Dian Wei was born in troubled times, or maybe Li Yong really deserved to die, but he was not arrested and killed by the government for murder.

Later, Dian Wei joined Cao Cao's camp, and the hero finally had a place to show his talents.

Seeing that Dian Wei was loyal and cautious, Cao Cao made Dian Wei his close bodyguard.

Dian Wei fought bravely and was loyal to his master. Because of his military achievements, he was promoted from colonel to commander and was highly appreciated by Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao was conquering Jingzhou, he arrived at Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu surrendered and came out of the city to greet him.

Cao Cao was very pleased and invited Zhang Xiu and his generals to a banquet. (End of this chapter)
