In the history of the dynasty, there are many wars, a war will change the dynasty and change the emperor, a war will make the famous general fall, and a war can also make the unknown general famous from now on, in ancient times, a general issued a withdrawal order, but the messenger behind the ear heard it as "meritorious service", and the result was the destruction of a country.
This general was named Huan Wen, a descendant of huan rong, the great confucian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later became the horse master of Sima Shao, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen still had two brushes in the war, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty was already a mess of sand at this time, and no one was optimistic about Huan Wen, in 346, Cheng Han became emperor by the absurd and unscrupulous Li Shi, and the national strength slowly weakened.
Therefore, Huan Wen decided to attack Cheng Han and made a battle achievement, which was supported by Yuan Qiao, the Minister of Jiangxia, and suggested that Huan Wen lead 10,000 elite soldiers to attack Chengdu directly, giving several suggestions, but Huan Wen attacked Cheng Han, many people thought that this could not be successful, and in November of the same year, Huan Wen wrote to the imperial court to request shu.
Without waiting for the imperial court to reply, he began to march west with the general Zhou Fu and the auxiliary general Sima Wuji, and when the imperial court learned of it, all the officials said that he would be defeated and retreated, because Huan Wen's troops were small, and he still had to go to the dangerous Shu land, and only the courtier Liu Yi felt that Huan Wen could win.
In fact, Huan Wen's army and the Cheng Han army were half a pound and eight two, in March 347, Huan Wen won three battles and three victories, and arrived at the city of Chengdu, Li Shi panicked, immediately dispatched troops, sent all the troops to resist, the Cheng Han army was at the end of the road, for the sake of their own country, how to resist the death to resist.
Huan Wen gradually lost, the arrows of the Cheng Han army all shot under Huan Wen's horse, Huan Wen thought that this was impossible to attack, he wanted to retreat, so he issued a withdrawal order, planning to fight again in the future, did not expect to pass the order to the soldiers' ears, heard it became "attack", and the drum officer hit the forward drum.
At this time, Huan Wen's soldiers and horses were even more excited, thinking that victory was in sight, so that they were attacking the Cheng Han army with all their strength, Yuan Qiao saw the battle situation, felt that this was an opportunity, urged the soldiers to advance, and the result was defeat into victory, Li Shi saw that his army was defeated, fled overnight, and could only surrender, and Cheng Han was over.
Huan Wen stayed in Shudi for a month to recuperate, and returned to the dynasty, and also became a famous general, in 348, the imperial court originally wanted to make Huan Wen the Duke of Yuzhang County, but the imperial court was jealous of Huan Wen, and said that the merit was overtaken by the Lord, so Constant Temperature was named the General of Zhengxi, and Sima Yu, the King of Huijian, asked Yangzhou to assassinate Shi Yinhao to participate in politics and suppress Huan Wen.
Huan Wen's ambitions were not small, and he also knew that the imperial court intended to do it, but he did not feel that Yin Hao was an opponent, but he just recruited troops and bought horses, and the imperial court was at peace for several years, but after Huan Wen's soldiers and horses grew, Yin Hao's Northern Expedition failed to succeed, and he forced the imperial court to abolish Yin Hao in 354, monopolize the power of the dprk, and personally lead the northern expedition of the army.
