【Idiom Story】:

This idiom comes from the Book of Jin. Fu Jian's Record", Jian and Fu Rong went to the city and looked at the king's division, and saw that the troops were neat and the soldiers were elite; Looking north at the grass and trees on Bagong Mountain, they are all humanoid.

In 383 AD, the former Qin emperor Fu Jian, who basically unified the north, led 900,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south. The Eastern Jin Dynasty appointed Xie Shi as the general and Xie Xuan as the vanguard, leading 80,000 elite soldiers to meet the battle.

After Fu Rong, the vanguard of the Qin army, captured Shouyang (present-day Shou County, Anhui), Fu Zhi personally led 8,000 cavalry to the city. He listened to Fu Rong's judgment and believed that the Jin army was vulnerable, and as long as his follow-up army arrived, he would definitely win a complete victory. So, he sent a man named Zhu Xu to persuade Xie Shi to surrender.

Zhu Xu, a former official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, reported on the deployment of the Qin army after meeting Xie Shi and suggested that the Jin army attack Luojian (present-day Dongluohe, Huainan, Anhui) before the arrival of the Former Qin follow-up army. Xie Shi followed his advice and sent troops to attack the Qin camp, which resulted in a great victory. The Jin soldiers took advantage of the victory and marched to Shouyang.

Fu Jian was shocked when he learned that Luojian was defeated and that the Jin soldiers were coming to Shouyang, and immediately climbed to the head 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 cloudy, and from a distance, the sky over the river was gray. Look carefully, there are many masts, warships are dense, Jin soldiers are holding swords and halberds, and the lineup is very neat. He couldn't help but secretly praise the Jin soldiers for their orderly deployment and well-trained.

Then, Fu Jian looked north again. There is the Bagong Mountain, which has eight rolling peaks and peaks, and the terrain is very dangerous. The base camp of the Jin soldiers was stationed at the foot of Bagong Mountain. With a gust of northwest wind whistling by, the grass and trees on the mountain shook like countless soldiers in motion. 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, how can they be said to be weak soldiers? ?

Soon, Fu Jian took Xie Xuan's plan and ordered the army to retreat slightly, so that the Jin soldiers could cross the decisive battle of the river. As a result, the Qin soldiers trampled on each other when they retreated, and they were defeated and returned.

This battle is the famous battle of Weishui in history, and it is a famous example in history of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak.
