Chapter seven Biography of Zudi(20)
In the fifth year of Yongjia (311), Luoyang fell. Zu Ti led hundreds of his relatives and villagers to the south and fled to Huaisi. He walked alone, gave up his chariots and horses to the old and sick, and distributed food, clothing and medicine to others. On the way to escape, Zu Ti met many obstacles from thieves. However, he was able to cope with them easily and was promoted as a "traveler" by his fellow travelers. After arriving at Sikou (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province), Zu Ti was appointed governor of Xuzhou by Sima Rui, king of Langya. Soon after, Zu Ti was recruited to serve as a military advisor and stationed at Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province) with his troops.
In the first year of Jianxing (313), Emperor Min of Jin ascended the throne and appointed Sima Rui as his subordinate, prime minister of the left and as his capital to supervise the military forces of Shaandong. He ordered his troops to go to Luoyang to serve as king. At that time, Sima Rui was exploring the south of the Yangtze River and had no intention of venturing north. Zu Ti advised, "The chaos of the Jin Dynasty was not caused by the emperor's lack of wisdom and the people's rebellion, but by the vassals' struggle for power and their mutual slaughter, which gave Yidi an opportunity to exploit. Now the people in the north are being ravaged and they all have the will to fight back. If your Majesty can order the army to go out, and let Zu Ti and others be in charge, the heroes of the northern region will be on guard and respond, and the subjugated people will be delighted. In this way, national humiliation can be avenged. "Although Sima Rui did not want to invade the North, he was not in a position to openly oppose it. Therefore, he appointed Zu Ti General of Fanwei and governor of Yuzhou. However, he only allocated 1,000 soldiers, salaries and 3,000 pieces of cloth and asked him to raise soldiers and make weapons by himself.
