On the day he received the order, Liu Gaozhi and his subordinates discussed and decided to take advantage of the enemy's unstable position to attack overnight. Just after the pre-war mobilization meeting, Wang He crossed and possessed Liu Gaozhi's body.

Wang He watched the long plot, knew the situation of the whole battle, and had the experience of crossing over to Liu Xiu last time, this time it can be regarded as one birth and two times ripe, and the nephew plays the lantern - according to the uncle (old).

So that night, with the assistance of Wang He's various card skills, 5000 Beifu troops were like bamboos, killing the former Qin army without leaving a piece of armor, Wang He adhered to the purpose of shooting people and horses first, capturing thieves and capturing kings first, and went to the place where the enemy army guarded the most, and after killing the enemy's main general Liang Cheng and deputy general Wang Yong, the enemy was no longer able to resist and fled one after another.

Although Xie Xuan accepted Zhu Xu's suggestion, he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, he originally just asked Liu Gaozhi, a cannon fodder, to take 5,000 people to explore the enemy's reality and verify whether what Zhu Xu said was true. Unexpectedly, Liu Gaoyi won the battle.

This victory, which won more with less, greatly boosted the confidence of the Eastern Jin generals, and at the same time weakened the morale of the Former Qin army. After the war, the Eastern Jin Dynasty army was divided into two armies by water, marched westward, and was stationed on the east side of the Dongqi River. Former Qin's troops retreated to Shou County and were stationed on the west side of the Dongqi River.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, Xie Xuan suddenly had an idea, and wrote a letter to send someone to propose that the army of the former Qin should retreat thirty miles, let the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty cross the Dongqi River first, and then the two sides would fight to the death.

"Jun hangs the army deeply, and puts Chen to force the water, this is a long-term plan, not for those who want to fight quickly. If there is a small number of formations, it will be good for the Jin soldiers to cross and decide the victory!"

Translated:

"There are so many of you who still have to fight a protracted war, do you want to be shameless?

This was originally a radical method of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, because although Liu Gaozhi had just won the battle before, it could not reverse the huge gap in numbers between the enemy and us.

However, they didn't expect Fu Jian and Fu Rong to agree, they actually thought that they could attack when crossing the river in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was in line with the tactics of "half-crossing and attacking" in the Art of War.

It can't be said that Fu Jian and Fu Rong's ideas are wrong, but the former Qin soldiers have two big problems, firstly, they are all composed of different races, mixed fish and dragons, and people's hearts are not aligned, and secondly, the Eastern Jin Dynasty's generals Zhu Xu, Xu Yuanxi and others shouted "The Qin army is defeated" and "Fu Jian and his sister-in-law are running away" and other disturbing words when the former Qin army retreated, which caused great panic.

Xie Xuan saw that the former Qin army was in chaos, and took the opportunity to wave his troops across the river to attack, and the Qin army was in chaos in the process of retreating, panicking, like a headless fly, under the pursuit of the Jin army, the rout was like a belly, and it was a thousand miles away.

The total number of troops invested by both sides in the battle of Weishui is claimed to be one million, but in fact it is less than 300,000, plus most of the former Qin soldiers have fled, and only more than 100,000 people are really engaged in the battle.

This war gave rise to four idioms in history.

At the beginning, the affinity faction wanted to prevent Fu Jian from sending troops, and the prince Zuowei and the minister Shi Yue said:

"According to the astrological view, it is not appropriate to go south this year. In addition, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was hindered by the Yangtze River, and its monarch was deeply popular. Therefore, do not act rashly and blindly advance lightly. It is better to stick to the national strength, repair the armament, and take advantage of the opportunity to attack. ”

Fu Jian disagreed, and said:

"The things of the stars cannot be trusted. As for the Yangtze River, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Wangfu and Sun Hao, the lord of Wu during the Three Kingdoms, both had the danger of the Yangtze River and were not exempt from death. I now have an army of nearly one million, many generals, and many people. Are you afraid of the dangers?"

So the idiom of "throwing the whip and cutting off the stream" was born, which is a metaphor for a large number of people and horses, and a strong army.

Next is the "Go Gambling Villa", which is from the Book of Jin, volume 79, "The Biography of Xie Anlie".

Fu Jian led an army of one million and stationed in Feishui, and the capital was shocked and panicked. So Xie An was appointed as the governor of the Metropolitan Government.

Xie An's nephew Xie Xuan entered the room and asked him about his strategy, Xie An looked calm and unflustered, and replied:

"I already have a plan in mind. ”

Then there was no sound. Xie Xuan didn't dare to say anything more, so he asked Zhang Xuan to ask for advice again. Xie An then ordered to go out to the mountain villa by car, gathered relatives and friends, and played Go with Zhang Xuan with the villa as a bet. Xie An's chess skills are usually not as good as Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan was afraid that day, so he played chess with him and met his opponent, but he couldn't win. Xie An then went out to play, and only came back at night, commanding and instructing the generals to take on their own responsibilities.

After Xie Xuan defeated Fu Jian on the front line, a war report sent by the post station arrived, Xie An was playing Go with the guests, and after reading the letter, he took it and put it on the bed, without any joy, and continued to play chess as he did just now. The guest asked him, and he replied slowly:

"The boys defeated the enemy. ”

When he was done, he returned to his room, and he was so happy that he didn't know that he had broken all the clogs when he crossed the threshold, and he pretended to be calm to such an extent. Later, the allusion of "Go Gambling Villa" was used to describe people who are calm and calm, and lift weights lightly.

Fu Jian was shocked to learn that Liang Cheng's troops were defeated by Liu Gaozhi and that the Jin troops were coming towards Shouyang, and immediately climbed to the top of Shouyang City with Fu Rong to personally observe the movements of the Jin army on the other side of the river. It was the middle of winter, and it was a cloudy day, and from a distance, the sky over the river was gray.

Fu Jian glanced at the city tower, and saw that the camp tents of the Jin army on the other side were neatly arranged, and the Jin soldiers armed with knives and guns patrolled back and forth, and the lineup was strict and mighty. Looking further away, on the opposite side of Bagong Mountain, I vaguely don't know how many Jin soldiers there are. In fact, there are no Jin soldiers on Bagong Mountain, but Fu Jian is dazzled and regards the grass and trees on Bagong Mountain as Jin soldiers. As a gust of northwest wind whistled by, the grass and trees on the mountain shook like countless soldiers moving.

Fu Jian's face suddenly turned like earth, and he turned back to Fu Rong in horror and said:

"The Jin soldiers are a strong enemy, which bastard said that they are weak soldiers?"

Fu Rong looked at his brother and hesitated before saying:

"Brother, it seems that you said ......"

So Fu Jian had "throwing the whip and breaking the flow", and he liked to mention "all the grass and trees are soldiers", congratulations to Mr. Fu! But it's not over, and a few days later he mentioned "The Wind and the Crane", this allusion comes from "Jin Shu Xie Xuan Biography":

…… Jin general Xie Xuan and others waded through the water with 8,000 elites, and the Qin soldiers were defeated. (Fu) the strong crowd rushed, self-defeating by throwing water into the dead is incalculable, and the fat water does not flow. The remnants abandoned their armor and fled. Hearing the rumors, they all thought that Wang Shuai had arrived, and they slept in the open air, starving and freezing, and the dead were seventeen or eighteen.

From the self-confidence when the whip is broken, to the panic like a lost dog when the grass and trees are all soldiers and the wind is roaring, it vividly illustrates an ancient saying:

didn't listen to the old man, and his relatives cried.

Although Fu Jian lost the battle, in terms of the efficiency of producing idioms, he won the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a score of 3 to 1, which can be regarded as a game back.

There have been five great migrations in the history of the Hakka people, and in the more accepted theory, the first time occurred in the Jin Dynasty.

A major feature of the Western Jin Dynasty is the internal migration of a large number of nomadic tribes, due to the considerable number of people who moved in, it is not much different from the Jin people in the Guanzhong area. After the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the vitality of the Western Jin Dynasty was greatly damaged, and the nomads who moved inward took the opportunity to raise troops, resulting in a situation of chaos in China, and a large number of people and clans began to cross south.

If the Eastern Jin Dynasty is defeated in the Battle of Weishui, and Fu Zong's large army continues to move south, it is very likely that these Han people who crossed south will be killed, or they will continue to cross south and run to Southeast Asia, if so, the history of the Hakka people will be rewritten.
