Tian Yu vs Yue Yi

Tian Yu led Wei forces against the Xianbei tribes raiding the northern frontier. He employed a strategy of building forts and using cavalry to intercept raiders, stabilizing the border region.

Tian Yu defended Yanmen Commandery against a Xianbei invasion. He used a feigned retreat to lure the enemy into an ambush, killing their leader and scattering the tribe. This victory secured the northern frontier for years.

Tian Yu was appointed Governor of You Province, overseeing Wei's northern territories. He implemented policies to integrate non-Chinese tribes into the Wei state, reducing border conflicts through diplomacy and trade.

Tian Yu supported Sima Yi's coup against Cao Shuang. He led troops to secure key positions in the capital, ensuring the success of the coup. This event marked the rise of the Sima family's control over Wei.

Yue Yi formed a coalition of five states

Yue Yi led the coalition forces to a series of victories, capturing over 70 cities of Qi, including the capital Linzi. Qi was reduced to only two remaining cities, Ju and Jimo, and was on the verge of total annihilation.

King Zhao of Yan appointed Yue Yi as general to lead a campaign against the state of Qi. Yue Yi had previously served in Wei and Zhao, but his talents were recognized by King Zhao, who trusted him with the command of the Yan army.

After King Zhao of Yan died, his successor King Hui distrusted Yue Yi due to slander from Qi spies. Yue Yi fled to the state of Zhao to avoid execution. His departure allowed Qi to recover under Tian Dan and recapture its lost cities.
