滕撫字叔輔，北海劇人也。 Teng Fu, styled Shufu, hailed from Ju county in Beihai commandery.

朝廷博求將帥，三公舉撫有文武才，拜為九江都尉，與中郎將趙序助馮緄合州郡兵數萬人共討之。 The court cast about for commanders; the Three Excellencies nominated Teng Fu for his civil and military gifts. He received the post of commandant of Jiujiang and, with General of the Household Zhao Xu, assisted Feng Gun in combining tens of thousands of provincial troops against the rebels.

未及行，會撫等進擊，大破之，斬馬勉、范容、周生等千五百級，徐鳳遂將餘眾攻燒東城縣。 Before Li Gu could march, Teng Fu attacked and routed the enemy, taking fifteen hundred heads including Ma Mian, Fan Rong, and Zhou Sheng. Xu Feng escaped with the survivors and torched Dongcheng county.

拜撫中郎將，督揚徐二州事。 Teng Fu was promoted to general of the household with authority over Yangzhou and Xuzhou.

撫復進擊張嬰，斬獲千餘人。 He pressed on against Zhang Ying and killed or captured over a thousand men.

撫乘勝進擊，破之，斬孟等三千八百級，虜獲七百餘人，牛馬財物不可勝筭。 Teng Fu followed up his victory, shattered Hua Meng's force, and counted 3,800 enemy dead with 700 prisoners; livestock and booty were beyond reckoning.

以撫為左馮翊，除一子為郎。 The court named him governor of Left Fengyi and enrolled one son as a court gentleman.

撫所得賞賜，盡分於麾下。 He shared every bonus and gift with his troops.

及論功當封，太尉胡廣時錄尚書事，承旨奏黜撫，天下怨之。 When honors were due for his victories, Grand Commandant Hu Guang—then directing the Secretariat—carried out an order to strip Teng Fu of recognition, and public opinion turned bitterly against the court.

順帝末，以緄持節督揚州諸郡軍事，與中郎將滕撫擊破群賊，遷隴西太守。 Late in Emperor Shun's reign he carried the staff of authority over Yangzhou's forces and, with General Teng Fu, broke the rebel armies before moving on to grand administrator of Longxi.
