According to Thanh Hoa Radio and Television , the famous general Nguyen Huu Dat was from Gia Mieu, Ha Long commune, Ha Trung district (Thanh Hoa). His father - Nguyen Trieu Van - was one of the first people to leave Thang Long to follow Lord Nguyen Hoang to Thuan Hoa. Nguyen Huu Dat became a great mandarin, assisting many generations of Lord Nguyen, helping to maintain "Dang Trong" and repel many "Southward advances" of the Le - Trinh army during the civil war between the North and South dynasties.

According to historical records, Nguyen Huu Dat was born in 1603. Since childhood, he was good at poetry, literature, and writing. His father trained him in both literature and martial arts, so he was loved and respected by Lord Sai - Nguyen Phuc Nguyen, and assigned to work as a civil servant under his command. He grew up during the tense period of the war between the North and the South.

The Government's electronic newspaper quoted the history of the Nguyen Dynasty and praised: "Nguyen Huu Dat was a wise man, talented in strategy, first as a civil servant he was used as a war supervisor, his reputation was already clear, when he became a general he repeatedly devised great plans, at that time he relied on his power, he compared himself to Khong Minh and Ba On".

Seeing that the Le - Trinh army was taking the initiative, he devised a plan to sow discord, spreading rumors that there were traitors plotting a rebellion in Thang Long. The rumors made Lord Trinh worried, forcing him to withdraw his troops to the North. Thanks to that, the Nguyen army maintained its strength without having to fight fiercely, and Nguyen Huu Dat was further appreciated by Lord Nguyen.

After many days of fighting at Nhat Le and Truong Sa ramparts commanded by Nguyen Huu Dat, the Le - Trinh army could not break the defense line so they retreated to the North, leaving General Nguyen Khac Liet to guard Bac Bo Chinh. Nguyen Huu Dat immediately devised a counter-espionage plan, spreading news to the North that some of his subjects were betraying him. Lord Trinh Trang became suspicious and arrested Nguyen Khac Liet and brought him back to Thang Long. When this area was almost empty of command, the Nguyen army quickly occupied it.

Later, when Lord Trinh requested its return, Nguyen Huu Dat analyzed that Bac Bo Chinh was an area of "rapid water, deep rivers, and difficult ferries", easy to take but difficult to keep, and originally belonged to the Northern Dynasty. Returning it would both demonstrate a gesture of loyalty and make the Trinh family respect and fear it. Lord Nguyen listened, creating political prestige.
