The Battle of Shuishui in Shou County took place in 383 AD

It was a life-and-death battle between Former Qin and the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Former Qin, which had an absolute advantage, lost to the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Former Qin also declined as a result

The various ethnic groups in the north broke away from the rule of Former Qin

The Eastern Jin Dynasty, on the other hand, was given a chance to breathe

As a result, the Han Chinese Central Plains culture that wandered to the south was able to continue and develop

Three Kingdoms period

Sun Wu and Cao Wei fought six battles in Hefei

Sun Wu was repeatedly defeated and defeated

Hefei has never been conquered

The reason is that Hefei was a place of life for Cao Wei

By capturing Hefei, Sun Quan could go straight into the Central Plains

Hefei can become its important supply station

However, although Cao Wei had Hefei, he was unable to go south

That's because the Yangtze River is another natural barrier

Cao Wei could only look at Jiang Xing and sigh

Anqing is also known as Yicheng

To the north of Anqing is the mighty Dabie Mountains

To the south is the southern anhui mountains
