The Battle of Shuishui: The Most Volatile Gamble of the Eastern Jin Dynasty

As the saying goes, big gambles hurt the body, and small bets are pleasant. Friends and relatives, friends and relatives, called to the house to fight the landlord, touch the mahjong, but it is happy and harmonious. If the amount of gas is large, you can't hold on to it, and you throw thousands of dollars at once, and it is inevitable that you will hurt your wealth and hurt your feelings. Of course, if you look at ancient times, there are actually many celebrities who are good at gambling, such as Huan Wen, a great general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who was once in power, is one of them.

Huan Wen's face is worth a book, and the historical records describe him as such, "His posture is very great, his face has seven stars, his eyes are like purple stone edges, and he must be obscene." The so-called "face has seven stars", probably refers to the growth of seven huge black moles on the face, coupled with purple-black eyeballs and a dense beard. Such a rough to unspectral appearance, in today's popular Korean-style small white face aesthetic tide, it is definitely not red, but at that time, it was quite popular with the world, and it was recognized as a handsome man. However, Huan Wen left a name in history, not because of his appearance, but because he once said a rather domineering sentence: "Can't pass on to future generations, not enough to restore the stink of evil?" ”。 To put it bluntly, no matter what you do is good or bad, as long as you are famous, you will be OK.

Huan Wen's so-called ten thousand years of legacy, more or less in his later years, moved the idea of replacing the Eastern Jin Dynasty (it was not done later). However, such a generation of adulterous males, the early years of the beginning, but not all smooth. It turned out that Huan Wen's father, Huan Yi, was originally a "poor dick" who fell into the Xiang Mendi, and after a few minutes of learning, he finally squeezed his head and joined a group called "Bada" at that time. The atmosphere of the Jin Dynasty at that time was popular in Qing talk, and the so-called Qing Talk was to talk about the mountains, complain about current politics, and flaunt the Qing Gao. Of course, to be nice, it can be called a celebrity style. Some folk "brick families" are idle, and they will always rank the celebrities with high activity and make some idol groups, such as the famous "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" or something. However, the political climate of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was already very chaotic, and from time to time that person saw that the imperial court was not happy, and he came out to rebel. If so, even if you are a popular idol, you have to go to the battlefield to fight, and Comrade Huan Yi has bad luck and dies. At this time, the Huan family's hard-won family fortune reversed the limelight and fell straight down.

As I said just now, Comrade Huan Wen has a very great posture. Handsome people, of course, pretentious, the decline in the family road, must be raised again. But after all, the father was born from the "di si", and the uncle and uncle who were willing to pull the handle in the DPRK certainly did not. Therefore, Huan Wen thought of a means to turn over: gambling. Unfortunately, Huan Wen's gambling luck, or gambling skills, is really not good, and he lost his bottom pants after entering the casino for a round trip. Not only did he lose his bottoms, but he also owed a bunch of debt. Debt repayment, righteousness, the creditors finally came to the door with kitchen knives. Cornered, Huan Wen thought of a person. The influential figures in the gambling circles of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have finally made a shining appearance.

The man who appeared on the scene was named Yuan Tan. When Huan Wen found Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan was living in the family. In ancient times, people talked about filial piety, and the death of the elders in the family was forbidden to participate in all recreational activities. Fortunately, Huan Wen was born in the Jin Dynasty, which advocated deviance. Yuan Yun's front feet were still two lines of clear tears, and the back feet were also very handsome to take off the top hat, smeared a big back, draped in a black cape, patted Huan Wen's shoulders, and the corners of his mouth went up, Dude, go! The creditors also calculated which house Huan Wen would borrow money, but they did not expect to bring a cool black-clad man, everyone looked at each other and smiled, opened their palms, and said, Acting, what about money?

Only to see our comrade Yuan Tan, extremely dashing to spread out the gambling table, take out the chips, the corners of the mouth are still up, buddy, go twice. The creditors looked at Huan Wen, who was wearing large pants on the side, and smiled evilly, since the little brother was elegant, he would accompany him. The next casino feng shui naturally flowed to Huan Wen's side, and not long after, the huge gambling funds originally owed were liquidated, not to mention, and won millions of dollars. Looking at the opponent with the gray head and gray face on the other side, Yuan Tan lit a big cigarette, combed a hairstyle, and posed as the pote of zhou Runfa, the god of gambling, the corners of his mouth trembled, dao, do you know who Is Yuan Yandao (Yuan Yan)? ("Then the game was thrown in a hundred thousand and a million." The horse screamed, and the probing hat threw on the ground, saying: Did you even know Yuan Yan? "Book of Jin") At this time, the creditors finally realized that the original one in front of them, that is, a brother in the gambling world, Yuan Tan, moved out of the small bench and signed the souvenir.

However, in the ancient gambling world, it was not Yuan Tan who interpreted the elegance to the extreme, but someone else. The man's name was Xie An. Interestingly, he was also born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Unlike Huan Wen, Xie An, who was a famous person who had no worries about food and clothing, did not have the heart to become an official in the dprk at first. Why not be an official? Our rich second generation comrade ann, of course, is doing what the modern rich second generation should do, eating, drinking, and having fun. The Book of Jin records as follows: "Although An is indulgent in the hills and valleys, every time he travels to reward, he will follow the maid." This play, I have played forty years old. At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was already decayed and crumbling, and it was in urgent need of capable people to calm this panicked position. Cha Xie'an was famous, so he came to recruit every three or five places. Xie An looked back and pondered, is this country broken and the family is dead, under the nest, An has the egg? He also assumed the post of Grand Sima (大司馬).

Soon after taking office, Xie An allowed himself to completely stand firm in the long river of history. This is the famous Battle of Shuishui. The reason for the incident is that there has always been a strong kingdom in the north of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, known in history as Former Qin. Former Qin emperor Jian Jian was a very capable man. People who have the ability naturally have to do what they have the ability to do, and our jian jian has moved the mind of unifying the world. Former Qin's million-strong army was approaching, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was terrified, and Xie An was appointed as the governor of Dadu. Most of the governors are not fun, dispatched in the army, and all the planning is in the chest. However, our Xie An, who had been feelings for more than twenty years, did not seem to have the intention of diminishing, and actually called his relatives and friends together and organized a group to go to the villa built in the countryside and set up a gamble. The gambling method is to play Go, the bet is the villa, and the person who bets on it is not someone else, it is his military deputy, nephew Xie Xuan.

At this point, Xie Xuan was anxious, Dao, Uncle, millions of enemy troops have gathered on the riverside, and a big war is about to break out, do you still have this elegance? Xie An patted Xie Xuan, smiled, not in a hurry, after this game, I usually have not as good chess skills as you, but today I bet you will not win me in this game. Sure enough, Xie Xuan had the heart to gamble on the game, only the strength to fight, the chess pieces were passive, and every time he dropped a son, his eyebrows sighed for half a moment. If it was a gamble, it went down to sunset. Xie An glanced at the sweat on Xie Xuan's forehead, patted his nephew Yang Tan who was watching the battle next to him, and smiled, "The victory or defeat has been decided, you can finish it for me." Say it and float out the door.

Of course, this time Xie An went out, not to go sightseeing in the mountains, but to come to the army on horseback and calmly deploy troops and generals. After ordering the affairs of the army, Xie An did not stay in the army, returned to the horse village, and smiled to see Yang Tan clean up the mess at the gambling table. Not long after, the news of the defeat of the Former Qin soldiers came, and the officials of the Eastern Jin Dynasty clapped their hands and celebrated. Previously, some celebrities invited to observe in the countryside even compared the gambling game to the battle situation between the two armies and greatly embellished it. Such praise has even been passed down to future generations, and whenever the literati rioters talk about this matter and this battle, they all hold up their crowns and marvel. Xie An's status as an idol in history has since settled.
