The previous article talked about the fact that Jian Jian swept away the main regimes in the north, such as Former Yan, Former Liang, and Daiguo, unified the north, and formed a two-sided confrontation with the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south, which was bound to break out into war.
Pre-war preparations
In 378 AD, Jian Jian began his actions.
On the one hand, murong Chui (who surrendered to Former Yan in the previous article) led an army from the Wudang flank to bypass and cooperate with Xiangyang.
On the other hand, Peng Chao led an army to attack Pengcheng, and then sent troops to Huainan, so that it could form a trend of advancing east and west at the same time, and the three armies attacked together, which would surely destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Wang Meng
The strategy was perfect, but it didn't work.
Zhu Xu, a former Qin general who attacked Xiangyang, and others wanted to surround Xiangyang and let it run out of ammunition, so that at that time they could surrender without a fight, which was a good idea, but who knew that the two sides had no intention of surrendering until the end of the year.
Jian Jian sent these people to fight Xiangyang, not to let them engage in the system of persuasion, and naturally blamed the great general Gong Pi and restricted him to attack Xiangyang before the spring of next year.
The situation is changing too quickly
Sure enough, the Former Qin army launched a fierce offensive, and the Xiangyang defenders were defeated, and the city was destroyed in the first month of the following year. At this time, Pengcheng was also breached.
The Former Qin army was so strong that it captured Xuyi and Huaiyin in a row, and surrounded the Eastern Jin Dynasty assassin Shi Tianluo at the place of San'a.
However, the Jin army is not a vegetarian, you former Qin are about to hit my Guangling, so you began to counterattack, successfully beat the Former Qin army back to Xuyi, and then was driven to Huaiyin, in Huaiyin Jin army burned the Former Qin army retreat trail, forcing the Former Qin army to retreat to Huaibei.
Tung Rong
Defeat began infighting
Jian Jian was furious, and the good situation that had been hard to establish was beaten back, and according to records, Peng Chao was scared to death.
There were unpredictable storms in the sky, and the external attack on the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and contradictions arose inside.
The Beihai Gongzhong, who was stationed in Luoyang, rebelled while the army was attacking the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but was soon pacified by the general Lü Guang, who did not deal with it strictly because of his plot, but later appointed him as the general of Zhenbei (how benevolent).
Gong Luo was very credited with destroying daikoku, but Zhi Jian was very dissatisfied with this by giving him a small official position (border state pastor), so he contacted The two of them to rebel.
Zhi Jian's repeated forbearance seems to have become the capital of their indulgence, so they send troops to suppress it, and Zhi Luo is captured and Zhi Shige is killed (probably because Zhi Luo is the first time to rebel, and after giving him a chance, Zhi Shige participates in the rebellion for the second time).
Wang Feng's Images
Wang Meng's dying words did not listen
The Former Qin army engaged the Jin army, with a slight victory in the early stage, and then the plundered cities and pools were retaken.
Before wang meng died, he had already seen through the reason why Former Qin could not attack Jin for a long time, and persuaded Jian Jian to give up the idea of attacking Jin.
Jin is orthodox, the five hu chaos and sixteen countries, the power is seriously divided, the regime is overlapping, the Jin can still preserve the fundamentals, although the north has been unified, but those humble and Qiang are still surging undercurrents, they are not destroyed, after all, it is a disaster, and the Former Qin regime is unstable after all.
However, Jian Jian did not listen to Wang Meng's heartfelt words, did not let go of his plot against the Eastern Jin Dynasty, perhaps because he was doing his best to want to unify the world as a child.
Jian Jian
His brothers, sons, concubines, and monks all disagreed with Jian Jian's decision
In 382, the Jian Dynasty would discuss whether to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
At that time, Former Qin's army was more than 970,000, and Jian Jian wanted to personally lead an army to conquer the Eastern Jin Dynasty and ask the minister's opinion. A very small number of people agreed with this move, and most ministers such as Xie An and Huan Chong were opposed, believing that it was necessary to live in harmony with the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Then Jian Jian privately asked his brother Zhi Rong for advice, which was also against sending troops to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
It is believed that what Wang Meng said before his death is very reasonable, coupled with years of conquest, it will be even more tired of soldiers, and it is unfavorable to send troops at this time. After hearing this, Jian Jian was very angry, and Gong Rong cried many times and advised Jian Jian that he was resolute not to send troops.

Later, the famous monks of the time, Shi Dao'an, crown prince Gonghong, and The favored concubines of Zhi Jian repeatedly advised against sending troops, but they could not shake Jian Jian's determination to send troops.
Instead, people such as Murong Chui approved of Jian Jian's troops and were rewarded.
Maybe Gong Jian wanted to take advantage of the strong strength of the army at this time to attack the seemingly shaky Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop; maybe Gong Jian wanted to use this army to defeat the Eastern Jin Dynasty and then return the world to a peace, less war, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment; maybe It was Zhi Jian's ambition to complete the unification of the world established in his childhood; maybe people who had been wise for so long would always be unable to think about it for a while; maybe this was the shortcoming of Zhi Jian, the fatal shortcoming...
