The Northern Expedition led by Zu Ti in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty. Zu Ti, Ziya, was born in Qiuxian County, Fanyang (now Laishui County, Hebei Province). Born in the gentry, he used to be the main book of the Western Jin Dynasty. On the eve of the value confusion, he was very concerned about the deteriorating political situation with the ambition of serving the country. When I heard the cock crow in the middle of the night, I got up and went outdoors, drew my sword and danced, leaving a story of "smelling the cock and dancing". After the collapse of Luoyang in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, Zu Ti led hundreds of relatives and township parties to avoid chaos. "Take the horses and chariots they have ridden and carry their peers with old diseases. They bow their heads and walk, share medicine, food and clothing with the public, and have more rights. It is based on the younger generation and the younger generation. " At that time, Si Marui and northern and southern gentry were keen to establish a new court and redistribute power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but they had no intention of the Northern Expedition at all. Unwilling to be overthrown by the old country, Zu Ti volunteered to lead troops to the Northern Expedition with the heart of revival. Si Marui appointed him General Wei Fen and the secretariat of Yuzhou, but he didn't give a soldier, weapons and armor except 1000 salary and 3000 pieces of cloth. In the first year of lite (3 13), Zu Ti led hundreds of old troops to resolutely cross the river. "The oath of hitting the water in the middle stream:' Zu Ti can't clear the Central Plains, and those who help others are like great rivers! ""These words are heroic, and everyone feels sorry. " After crossing the river, he was stationed in Huaiyin, casting weapons, recruiting troops, forming 2000 armed men, and then sending troops to the north. The situation in the Northern Expedition was very grim. To the south of the Yellow River, there are many powerful armed forces, who stopped Zu Ti from advancing northward, and tried to defeat Zhang Pingping, who claimed to be the secretariat of Yuzhou, broke through their blockade and occupied Qiaocheng (now Bozhou, Anhui). Chen Chuan, the self-styled satrap of Liu Chen, went to Schleswig-Holt, Zu Ti attacked Chen Chuan, and Schleswig-Holt sent Shi Hu to lead fifty thousand troops to the south, set up an Indiana Jones to defeat Shi Hu, and then defeated Tao Bao, who stayed at Pippen Wharf, and captured Qiu Yong (now Qixian County, Henan Province).

Zu Ti is good at fighting and using contradictions to divide the enemy and turn him into a friend. At that time, the powerful armed forces Zhao Gu, Shangguan Si, Li Moment and Guo Mo attacked each other. He sent people to clarify their interests and mediate from them, so that they all obeyed their own commands. He "spared no effort to persuade him to supervise the cultivation of mulberry, self-denial, no livestock, and ploughing firewood" (all of the above are quoted from the biography of Jin Shu Zu Ti), so he is deeply loved by the people. After more than four years' efforts, the northern army led by Zu Ti recovered a large area of lost land south of the Yellow River, which made Schleswig afraid to send troops south. In the 4th year of Taixing (32 1), just as Zu Ti was preparing to March into Hebei, the Eastern Jin court appointed Dai Yuan as the commander-in-chief of the six northern countries, responsible for military command and controlling the road behind the army. At the same time, the internal struggle of the rulers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was fierce. These circumstances led to the passionate Zu Ti getting sick and dying in the army. The Zulu Northern Expedition, whether defeated or outspoken, focused on life and death, taking attack as the defense, and ensured the local security of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He enriched the national spirit with chastity, which is the highest model of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Expedition. He is completely different from those who later gained personal prestige and portal power through the Northern Expedition, and he is a hero we should admire.
