The Battle of Shuishui was originally a doomed theory, and although Xie Xuan had few soldiers, he was a soldier of the Northern Province, and this thing had never lost except for Murong Chui (or even the only one who had won Murong Chui, although he was immediately killed). It is a fact that the strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was poor, but the Northern Prefecture Army was not under the control of the Sima family. As a reminder, the allusion of "grass and trees are soldiers" occurred before the Battle of Shuishui, not after the war.
Former Qin was the opposite, the previous generation of Lü Polou and Zhang Oyster Deng Qiang were gone, Lü Guang took the Western Expedition army in the Western Regions (from the perspective of Zhuge Liang, Zhi Jian had time to wait for Lü Guang to return from the Western Regions, but no one knew how long it would take to fight at that time), many of the gods of war under him just wanted to rebel, so they had to fight the front line with the Relatives of the Qi, and as a result, zhu Xu and Zhang Tianxi were mixed in the team.
And all this situation, Xie Xuan did not know (at least from the Jin Shu point of view, Xie Xuan completely played in accordance with the frontal battlefield, except for Zhu Xu to give intelligence when he went to persuade him to surrender), and even finally tricked Former Qin into retreating and causing chaos was unexpected. Throughout the war, Xie Xuan's command was very stable, but he did not use a strange strategy, and it was completely flattened.
The problem of Former Qin has also been around for a long time, and it must not be simply attributed to the operation of retiring troops to cross the river, but after the Yu people absorbed other ethnic groups, the hidden dangers brought about by the low proportion of their own ethnic groups. Former Qin itself had a high degree of Sinicization, but after all, the time was short (didn't The Sinicization of Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei still indirectly lead to the Six Towns Uprising), and the Han people still regarded the Eastern Jin Dynasty as legitimate (the legitimacy of the south was not broken until Southern Chen), so Zhu Xu would make trouble in the army.
Former Qin swept through the east, much like the First Emperor sweeping the Six Kingdoms. The large and small ethnic groups in the territory are Xianbei, Qiang, and old forces such as Former Yan, each with different intentions, and the only real elite is the Yan clan troops. After the Battle of Shuishui, the light speed of light in various places was restored and divided, and I am afraid that there was also a problem of insufficient time for the integration of rule before the war, and the Battle of Shuishui only broke out in general. Former Yan's Murong Chui and Murong Chong also contributed to the demise of Former Qin, and it can be said that it was The emperor's undeserved mercy that killed him, and many of his subordinates were ambitious people, and Wang Meng had reminded him many times, and he did not care.
First of all, Murong Chui and Jian Jian were not one heart, and secondly, Murong Chui could not change the chaotic nature of the army, and there were more than 600,000 Han soldiers who were pulled over, it seemed that the internal traitor was Zhu Xu alone, in fact, in a sense, the Han soldiers were considered to be former Qin's internal traitors. Foreign soldiers also have two hearts, not to mention the Han. The root cause is the problem of insufficient degree of Sinicization and the impatience of military strategy. As the strong side should be calm, weak and impatient. But in fact, Jian Jian was impatient, and Xie An was calm and unhurried.
Xie An's talent is beyond doubt, but before Xie An came out of the mountain, the basic plate of the Xie family had already been laid down in Xie Shang, and the Western Character Banner and the History of Yuzhou Thorns, from Xie Shang to Xie Yi to Xie Wan, but Xie Wan's dishes were a little bit, and even a genuine general was not mixed, and finally overturned. The key to the Xie family becoming a foreign relative is Xie Zhenshi, who is Xie Shang's sister. The Xie family had already ranked among the first-class door valves before Xie An came out of the mountain, and the biggest credit was Xie Shang, followed by Xie Yi. Xie An's credit was to raise the Xie family one more level, alongside Wang.
Jian Jian firmly tied his fate to the fate of the former Qin state, the division and internal chaos of the former Qin state when it was just unified were more difficult to engage, Jian Jian wanted to weaken the forces in former Qin through a war mobilization, draw their resources to conquest abroad, rely on the victory of the war to subdue all kinds of unstable forces in Former Qin, by the way, plunder the resources of the enemy country, bring out their own meritorious names, the benefits of victory in the war are too tempting, and the royal conquest can strengthen these benefits, so it is better to do it all at the same time. In general, he is too greedy, and he must be a good person to be a unified emperor to prove that he has all the ability to govern, and he is a greedy and arrogant and not cautious adventurer. To sum up, the outcome of the Former Qin and Eastern Jin Dynasties is inevitable, and if it does not occur in Shuishui, it will change places, saying that it is barely appropriate to win more with less, and it is not appropriate to say that it is inappropriate to win strong with the weak.
