The general of the Jin army who was defeated by Murong Chui was named Huan Wen, this was his third northern expedition, and it was also the last time, after this defeat, there would be no northern expedition.

When Murong Chui defeated Huan Wen's Northern Expedition army, he also shattered Huan Wen's road to heaven. After this defeat, even if Huan Wen still leaned towards the government and the opposition, there was no political air and soil to replace the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The ideal of life is still there, but the way to realize it was cut off by Murong Chuisheng. Qianyan, because of Huan Wen's defeat and survived; The Eastern Jin Dynasty survived because of Huan Wen's defeat.

There is no doubt that Huan Wen, who failed, is a big man!

In the face of the northern iron cavalry, the Northern Expedition of the Jin Empire was about to collapse, and it was repeatedly missed to miss great opportunities. The reconquest of lost land and the reorganization of rivers and mountains have become the unattainable dreams of the ruling class drunk and dreaming of death in the light breeze and drizzle, under the smoke and willow painting bridge. Lu You has a poem "After Liu Kun's death, there is no stranger, and he listens to the wild chicken full of tears" turned out to be a realistic sentence, singing and dancing on the temple, and the rivers and lakes are full of blood and tears!

The old country has been recited thousands of times for a long time, the father next door, the little sister next door, all of them are slaves under the hooves of the Hu people, and the souls of the dead under the knife.

This situation was not changed until the appearance of Huan Wen.

Huan Wen, born in 312 A.D., the character Yuanzi, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Qian Guo Longkang people, Shi clan (Qian Guo Huan clan).

Compared with the Langya Wang family, the Chen Jun Xie family and the Yingchuan Yu family, the Qian Guo Huan family is insignificant, but in that era of "no cold family in the upper grade, no scholar clan in the lower grade", this is the capital of Huan Wen's advancement, which should not be underestimated. Of course, not only that, his father Huan Yi participated in the pacification of the Wang Dun Rebellion, served as the Taishou of Xuancheng, and was also one of the "Jiangzuo Bada".

When Huan Wen falls to the ground, he is destined to be a national cadre in the future. There are many such people, but later achievements can be as rare as those who are warm!

That year, Huan Wen was less than one year old, and the famous scholar Wen Qiao (who used to be the old man of the moon to say matchmaking for himself and his cousin, and hugged the beauty) was surprised to see it, and said: "There are strange bones here, you can try to cry", so Huan Wen cried unnaturally under the operation of manpower (beating or pinching), which may be more painful, and the crying is slightly louder. Hearing his voice, Wen Qiao said again: "It's really a British thing!" ”。 So, from that day on, in order to thank Comrade Wen Qiao for his unsparing praise, Huan Wen became Huan Wen because of it! The meaning of strange bones and British things is obvious!

Later, when Huan Wen's power was so great that even the emperor could be deposed, he did not think of changing his name, which shows that he was still quite satisfied with his name and was quite proud of his origin.

Is Baume & Mercier's comment important?

That's of course.

After the talkers are full, when they are debating the "metaphysics" of the mysteries, they will also chew the root of their tongues, talk about who has the romance of "a pear flower pressing begonia", and occasionally talk about some "handsome" in the world, which is called "a character of algae". Huan Wen, who has been tasted by the famous scholar Wen Qiao, will most likely become the talk of everyone, and it is inevitable that he will be tasted again or even many times. Perhaps, when Huan Wen didn't know that his name was Huan Wen, Huan Wen was already famous in Jiangdong.

This is an event of great practical significance, because in the future, when the government selects officials, it will also rely on "evaluation" to divide the candidates, and those who have been "tasted" by celebrities and celebrities have priority!

Of course, the characters who have been "tasted algae" can be qualified to taste the next generation of "strange bones and heroic things" after a few years, and Huan Wen's father and Wen Qiao are good friends....... The horizon is determined by the circle, and those who taste algae have no cold door, and naturally have nothing to do with the cold door.

With a good family background, as well as Wen Qiao's comment of "strange bones and British things", Huan Wen, who was still in infancy, was already in the forefront of countless poor children in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The starting point of Huan Wen is not the end of the struggle of those poor children, but the dream that is out of reach for their whole life.

In fact, this is exactly the case, without experiencing the hardships of Shi Le's youth, nor the hardships of Liu Yuan and Murong family's entrepreneurship, the noble and wealthy Huan Wen's life when he was a teenager was an aristocratic son-like, fighting cocks and horses, wandering the wreckage, and playing life. had the experience of relying on friends to turn the tables after losing all his money in the casino, and in those days, Huan Wen was very rich and capricious.

For us, Huan Wen was born with a golden key, and the wealth is limitless! Even if you don't do anything for a lifetime, you can at least become a deputy county magistrate. But in the eyes of first-class families such as "Wang and Xie", what Huan Wen of "strange bones and heroic things" has is just a soup spoon, and when they eat meat, Huan Wen scoops up the soup at most. Moreover, because his father Huan Yi died in the "Su Jun Rebellion", Huan Wen almost lost the soup spoon that "scooped up the soup".

However, it was precisely because of the "revenge on his father" incident that Huan Wen replaced the soup spoon with a meat spoon. Although it is still a soup spoon, the difference is essential.

That year, Huan Wen was fifteen years old, all the good things were shattered because of his father's death, the family was in the middle of the road, and the burden of life was all on Huan Wen's shoulders, and he could no longer live a carefree life. Probably because of his age, Huan Wen's parents should be incompetent, and there is no record of his efforts for the revitalization of the family in the history books, he did not go to work to earn money, nor did he choose to start his own business, but only recorded his experience of changing his younger brother Huan Chong for sheep in order to treat his mother's illness.

The more difficult the life, the stronger the revenge and hatred, after learning that the death of his father Huan Yi was related to the county order Jiang Bo of Jing County, Huan Wen wept blood, aiming for revenge.

Jiang Bo died of illness, and three years after killing Huan Wen's father, Huan Wen finally ushered in the opportunity for revenge three years later. Pretending to be a hangman, he broke into the mourning hall alone, stabbed Jiang Bo's three sons, and then calmly left, leaving only the frightened mourners.

This is a premeditated and purposeful case of burglary with a knife, and it is a murder of three people at once, and the perpetrators have a clear goal and brutal means. It seems that it is an unforgivable crime no matter what, but at the time, it was worthy of being widely praised, and it was natural to avenge his father, not to mention that Jiang Bo was a rebellious minister and thief who had participated in the rebellion, which was not a pity.

Huan Wen, the son of the enemy, became famous again, courageous and knowledgeable, brave and strategic, with a background (scholars) and an orphan of a martyr. Worthy of sympathy, worthy of praise! The heart of filial piety is well known! In connection with the comments of "strange bones and British things" when he was young, a hard-working, positive, promising, and inspirational young man appeared in front of the world.

Maybe Huan Wen didn't expect that the matter of avenging his father finally reached the ears of Emperor Sima Yan of Jincheng, and he didn't expect that this would become an opportunity for him to get ahead and become a generation of heroes.

Sima Yan personally met with Huan Wen, and chatted with him, in addition to gossiping, the two sides recalled Huan Yi's heroic deeds of loyalty to the country, and Huan Wen also seized the opportunity to actively express his willingness to be loyal to the emperor and serve the emperor's urgent requirements. Sima Yan naturally liked him greatly, not only allowed him to inherit the title of his father Wanning County man, but also saw that he was dignified and noble, and he was a talented person, and he also married his sister Princess Nankang to him.

In this way, Huan Wen became the emperor's eldest brother, and because of his identity as the son-in-law of the Son of Heaven, he finally gained the political capital to get involved in the political arena of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

This is the most important turning point in Huan Wen's life, and gaining the trust of the royal family is the premise of all achievements!

The eldest princess of Nankang has a name, called Sima Xingnan, born to Emperor Ming of Jin and Queen Yu (Yu Wenjun), with a strong and bold personality, quite masculine! Emperor Jin Cheng felt that such a sister and the knife-wielding murderer Huan Wen were a pair, so he cheapened him.

Sima Xingnan has a story in history, which is recorded in "The New Language of the World: Xianyuan":

After Huan Wen destroyed Cheng Han, he married the sister of Li Shi, the queen of Cheng Han, as a concubine, and loved him very much. Princess Nankang was jealous, and took advantage of Huan Wen's absence to kill the Li family with a knife. But I saw Li combing his hair in front of the window, his hair hanging to the ground, and his appearance was beautiful. Xu tied his hair, held his hand and said to the princess: "The country is ruined, and the family is ruined, and there is no intention." If you can see the killing, you will still be alive. "The expression is leisurely and the tone is clear. Princess Nankang threw a knife forward and hugged Li and said: "Ah Zi, I have pity when I see you, not to mention the old slave" (even I will be moved when I see it, let alone the old guy).

This matter was passed down like this, and later became an idiom called: I see pity.

Due to the relationship between in-laws and the common ideal (Northern Expedition), Huan Wen and Yu Yi (the daughter-in-law's maternal uncle) became close, and the two agreed to pacify the world together.

At that time, Yu Yiguan went to Jingzhou to assassinate the history, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and was preparing for the Northern Expedition. Huan Wen and Yu Yi, who have just become the son-in-law of the Son of Heaven, are not at the same level, so they can only give others a beating and serve as the striker under Yu Yi.

Most like-minded people appreciate each other, and Huan Wen, who is new to politics, has naturally been recommended by Yu Yi: "Huan Wen is rarely eloquent, I hope Your Majesty will not meet him with ordinary people, and often son-in-law and animals, and it is advisable to entrust Uncle Fang and Uncle Zhao to the task of promoting difficulties." ”

After Yu Yi's death, it was Huan Wen who inherited Yu Yi's mantle and led the war against the Cheng Han and the Hu people in the north.

As an adult, Huan Wen is heroic and hearty, with a majestic style, a strange appearance, and seven stars on his face. History called Huan Wen "quite heroic and elegant, Yun Wenwu genius." Liu Yi (one of the eight gentlemen of the Wei and Jin dynasties, with a sense of knowledge) once praised him and said, "The warm eyes are like purple stone ridges, and they must be obscene, and Sun Zhongmou and King Xuan of Jin are also Yaye." does not live up to Yu Yi's recommendation, and it is indeed as Wen Qiao said: there are strange bones, and there are real heroes! Of course, Liu Yi also said: "Don't make a place where you live in a beautiful place, and your name should always be suppressed." Liu Yi not only saw that Huan Wen was talented, but also saw that Huan Wen was very ambitious.

Perhaps, it is really born from the heart! The thoughts and aspirations of the human heart, after accumulating over time, will grow on the face.

In July 345 AD, Yu Yi died, and in August, Huan Wen succeeded Yu Yi as the general of Anxi, the assassin of Jingzhou, and the governor of Jingsi, Yongyi, Liangning, and the military of the six states, and led the captain of the Southern Barbarians, and mastered the military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. From that day on, Huan Wen held the male soldiers, lived in the place of victory (Jingzhou), and began his road to heroism.

In fact, the person Yu Yi hoped to replace him before his death was not Huan Wen, but his own son, although Yu Yi admired and valued Huan Wen very much, but it did not mean that he was willing to give his family's rights and interests to his friends. Jingzhou is too important!

When the Eastern Jin Dynasty court was discussing Yu Yi's successor, he Chong (the ruling center) of Huan Wen recommended that He Chong (the ruling center) of Huan Wen have a wonderful exposition on Jingzhou's strategic position:

"Jing, Chu, the west gate of the country, with a million household registration. The north belt is strong Hu, the west is adjacent to Jinshu, the terrain is dangerous, and it is thousands of miles around. If you win people, the Central Plains can be determined, and if you lose people, the society can be worried, and Lu Kang's so-called "Wu will survive, and Wu will die if he dies". ”

At that time, Jingzhou had the best social and economic strength and superior geographical environment since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jingzhou was the center of war materials, the source of soldiers, the bridgehead of the Southern Expedition to the Han Dynasty, and the advance base of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Jingzhou, because it is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is the west gate of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which affects the safety of Jiankang at any time and threatens the safety of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Taking charge of Jingzhou laid a solid foundation for Huanwen's later Southern Expedition and Northern Expedition. And, since then, the rise and fall of the Huan clan has been closely linked to Jingzhou.

suddenly remembered a passage in "Longzhong Pair": "If the world changes, then a general will be ordered to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general will lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. If this is the case, then the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han family can be prosperous. ”

It's a pity that Jingzhou was lost later, so even if Zhuge Kongming has the talent to go through heaven and earth, he can only sit in a corner of Xishu, and go out of Qishan without success.

Huan Wen, a good young man with ideals and ambitions, will never indulge in eating "soft rice" in the gentle township, otherwise he will never have such a famous name in the history books! Hardships and dangers or comfort and pleasure will only stop the cowardly, but dreams will urge the strong to move forward without hesitation.

In 345, Qianyan was still a vassal state of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was not as powerful as it was later, still fighting in the land of Liaodong, seeking opportunities to develop and grow, and occasionally sending envoys to greet the Eastern Jin Dynasty as the suzerain. The powerful Hou Zhao has not yet perished, and Shi Hu is still alive, and before the storm comes, he and his sons are living a good life of cruelty to mankind, and the family is harmonious and happy.

That year, Huan Wen, who had just been in power, was surging and restless in his heart. Those who have ambitions also need to have the strength to achieve them, and now, he has them all. He did not intend to wait, and his desire to make a contribution set his sights on the country in the southwestern corner - the Cheng Han Empire.

The war to destroy Cheng Han was in full swing because of the arrival of Huan Wen.
