文帝初，北狄彊盛，侵擾邊塞，乃使豫持節護烏丸校尉，牽招、解儁并護鮮卑。自高柳以東，濊貊以西，鮮卑數十部，比能、彌加、素利割地統御，各有分界；乃共誓要，皆不得以馬與中國市。豫以戎狄爲一，非中國之利，乃先搆離之，使自爲讎敵，互相攻伐。素利違盟，出馬千匹與官，爲比能所攻，求救於豫。豫恐遂相兼并，爲害滋深，宜救善討惡，示信衆狄。單將銳卒，深入虜庭，胡人衆多，鈔軍前後，斷截歸路。豫乃進軍，去虜十餘里結屯營，多聚牛馬糞然之，從他道引去。胡見煙火不絕，以爲尚在，去，行數十里乃知之。追豫到馬城，圍之十重，豫密嚴，使司馬建旌旗，鳴鼓吹，將步騎從南門出，胡人皆屬目往赴之。豫將精銳自北門出，鼓譟而起，兩頭俱發，出虜不意，虜衆散亂，皆棄弓馬步走，追討二十餘里，僵尸蔽地。又烏丸王骨進桀黠不恭，豫因出塞案行，單將麾下百餘騎入進部。進逆拜，遂使左右斬進，顯其罪惡以令衆。衆皆怖慴不敢動，便以進弟代進。自是胡人破膽，威震沙漠。山賊高艾，衆數千人，寇鈔，爲幽、冀害，豫誘使鮮卑素利部斬艾，傳首京都。封豫長樂亭侯。爲校尉九年，其御夷狄，恒摧抑兼并，乖散彊猾。凡逋亡姦宄，爲胡作計不利官者，豫皆構刺攪離，使凶邪之謀不遂，聚居之類不安。事業未究，而幽州刺史王雄支黨欲令雄領烏丸校尉，毀豫亂邊，爲國生事。遂轉豫爲汝南太守，加殄夷將軍。

Deeds
While patrolling beyond the frontier, Tian Yu led more than a hundred cavalrymen into Gujin’s territory. Gujin welcomed him with a bow, whereupon Tian Yu immediately ordered his attendants to execute him and announced his crimes to the assembled crowd (as recorded in the historical sources).
Gujin’s followers were all too afraid to move, so Tian Yu appointed Gujin’s younger brother to succeed him. Thereafter, the Hu people were awestruck, and Tian Yu’s reputation resounded across the desert (as recorded in the historical sources).
