Huan Wen was from the Huan clan of the Dragon Dynasty, and the Huan clan was not a high-ranking clan in the Western Jin Dynasty. After his father Huan Yi took his whole family south, he befriended famous scholars to join the ranks of Jiangzuo Bada, and later Huan Yi conspired with Emperor Ming to quell wang Dun's rebellion, and the family's status rose again. Huan Wen was the eldest son of Huan Yi, and when he was not yet one year old, he was appreciated by the famous scholar Wen Yue, so he was named "Wen".
Born as a general, handsome in appearance, and free in personality, Huan Wen before the age of fifteen was like other noble princes, young and crazy, and played between the markets. If it were not for a later change, Huan Wen would rely on his father's support, seek an official and a half-job, and live this life without worry.
In the third year of Xianhe, Huan Yi was martyred in the rebellion of Su Jun, and when Huan Yi died, he left behind five brothers who were not yet minors, orphans and widows, and suddenly lost his dependence on life, the eldest son Huan Wen was only fifteen years old, as the eldest son, he had the unshirkable responsibility to support the family. Once the mother fell ill, she needed to use sheep as medicine to treat the disease. However, because the family had no money to buy sheep at that time, Huan Wen used Huan Chong as collateral to exchange sheep with the sheep owner.
The young Huan Wen tasted bitterness and pain, and it may be during this period that he had a strong determination to get ahead in his heart, and this teenager practiced martial arts for three years, and single-handedly broke into the spiritual hall of Jiang Bo, the enemy who participated in the murder of his father, killed three sons in a row, and then went away.
At that time, it was not against the law to avenge and kill his father, but was a matter worthy of widespread praise, not to mention that Huan Wen killed a former chaotic thief. Huan Wen did not expect to become famous in a war, and this incident also became an opportunity for him to get ahead and become a generation of tyrants.
Huan Wen's deeds soon reached the ears of Emperor Jincheng, and later, Emperor Jincheng received him, and seeing that Huan Wen had a great appearance and extraordinary demeanor, he had learned from people, and he was greatly loved, so he promised him the Princess of Nankang Chang, and he added to Ma Du Wei and attacked his father as a man of Wanning County.
The early experience made Huan Wen's personality extremely self-respecting, and he was proud in his bones, he was not willing to be a donkey to eat soft rice, eager to be valued and recognized, made meritorious achievements, and broke out of the world.
In the second year of Yonghe, Huan Wen led troops to cut down Shu. Most of the ministers in the court thought that he would undoubtedly lose this time, but Huan Wen Shudi's initial division was victorious, and he fought all the way to Chengdu, destroyed Chenghan, pacified Shudi, and incorporated it into the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The success of pacifying Shu lands gave Huan Wen greater ambitions, but the three subsequent Northern Expeditions were all battles fought by Huan Wen to enhance his strength and prestige, and Huan Wen's political ambitions limited his Northern Expedition activities. In combat, he kept his weight steady, and often waited and watched in the good situation, and delayed the fighters. Huan Wen is indeed very familiar with the art of war, and he is also good at using soldiers, and the use of soldiers is valuable in being resourceful and good at making decisions, and the camera moves. Huan Wen repeatedly waited and watched in the good situation, although it was related to his ambition to establish his prestige and had no intention of really going north, but it also reflected that he was not good at catching fighters with his troops and lacked flexibility. Moreover, at that time, the ethnic relations in the north were chaotic, and the achievements of any Northern Expedition could not be consolidated.
Several times the Northern Expedition failed, Huan Wen no longer had the enthusiasm of his youth, and in desperation, in order to establish his power, in order to make his political position stable, he even listened to the suggestions of his subordinates to spread rumors, deposed the emperor and established a new one, and suppressed the group of subjects, all of which were only his desires were blocked and he rebelled after he was lost.
Throughout Huan Wen's life, he always sang the Northern Expedition to maintain political superiority, but he himself did not lead for a long time and did not act rashly. He deliberately eliminated his opponents, and he obtained the position of governor of the Chinese and foreign militaries and the secretary of the Shang Shu, but he did not believe that he could control the overall situation, so he did not dare to stay in the capital for a long time. He couldn't do what Cao Cao did: "I'd rather bear the people of the world, and the people of the world don't bear me." The vicious determination can only end his life with one sentence: "If a person cannot live for a hundred lifetimes, then he should leave a stink for ten thousand years" to end his life.
