Two Jin Dynasty South and North Dynasties (40): March 19 began to write the Two Jin Dynasty South and North Dynasties, see this article, interested people turn the page to go!
Objectively speaking, the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime was basically supported by the family clan, such as the Langya Wang clan during the Sima Rui period of the Jin Yuan Emperor, there is the saying that "the king and the horse, share the world"; then there is the Yingchuan Yu clan, which is both a large clan and a foreign relative, such as the Yuliang brothers; and then there is the Dongshan Xie clan, and the famous Battle of Shuishui is the classic work of the Xie family, which we will talk about later.
In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan
Between the Yu Liang brothers and the Xie family, which big family is it? The answer is one person! Of course, it belongs to the Shi clan, but compared with the Wang family and the Yu clan, the reputation is far from the same! Who is he? Let's talk slowly, and first make up about the yu brothers.
In Article 38 of June 10, I said that Yu Liang died of depression in 340 due to the failure of the Northern Expedition. Subsequently, the military and political power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in the hands of Yu Liang's two brothers, with Yu Bing on the inside and Yu Wings on the outside.
The historical evaluation of these two brothers seems to be more positive than that of their brother Yu Liang. The evaluation of Yu Bing is as follows: Ji Jian (his word) Qingzhen, Yu (yu) is well-known. Dispose of tai over the contract, the right to abstain from profit.
In short, he is honest and loyal, of high moral character, calm in his dealings, and low-key and cautious. Yu Bing died in 344, the same year that Emperor Kang of Jin died.
Yu Bing
And for Yu Yi, this is the praise: Zhi Gong (his word) is generous and good at speaking!
Yu Yi was second only to Wang Xizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and at the same time, after the death of his brother Yu Liang, he also took over as the military governor of Liuzhou, and served as the assassin of Jingzhou and the town of Wuchang. It can be described as both literary and martial.
Yu Wing
He has always had great ambitions, and is a good friend with the male protagonist of this article, often discussing the major events of the world, hoping to support the society together. He also actively recommended this person to Emperor Ming of Jin, saying that he deserved the great responsibility.
Yu Yi died in 345, by this time the Eastern Jin Dynasty had entered the fifth emperor, the Jin Mu Emperor period, that is, the first year of Yonghe. This man was promoted to General of Anxi, Jingzhou Assassin History! He is Huan Wen!

Huan Wen's father, Huan Yi, came from a family, but when he came here, he had already fallen in the middle of the family, but the gene of the big family was still there, and in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when metaphysics was popular, Huan Yi gradually integrated into the upper echelons, squeezed into the circle of celebrities, and became one of the "Jiangzuo Bada".
Huan Yi was acquainted with Wen Yu before he went south. When Huan Wen was two years old, he was seen by Wen Yu and regarded as an English object, so Huan Yi named his son Wen, and the name Huan Wen came from this!
Later, due to his contribution to the pacification of Wang Dun's rebellion, Huan Yi was made a baron by Emperor Ming, and later served as the history of Xuancheng (equivalent to the mayor of Xuancheng).
During Su Jun's rebellion, Huan Yi was killed by Su Jun's subordinate Han Huang, and Jiang Bo, the county magistrate of Jing County at the time, also participated in the plot.
Huan Wen was 17 years old at the time and was determined to take revenge! The following year, Jiang Bo died, and his three sons, during the funeral, worried that Huan Wen would come to take revenge, also prepared a blade, but they were unexpectedly killed by Huan Wen, who pretended to come to mourn.
Huan Wen
The history books write that the people of the time praised him for this kind of behavior, which shows that the law at that time was too lax to punish the nobles, which is a clear proof!
After Huan Wen took over the jingzhou assassin history, he requested the following year to attack Cheng Han and capture Bashu! This strategy is extremely accurate. First, the Cheng Han dynasty at that time was led by the dimwitted king Li Shi, and there was a real opportunity to take advantage of it (see Chapter 37 of June 3); second, to take the Ba Shu and control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to ensure the safety of the lower reaches, otherwise, it would be easy to take Jiankang down the river from the upstream! The third reason is that Shudi is the country of Tianfu, if you get such a piece of fat, the economic strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty can also increase significantly, which can lay a solid foundation for the real Northern Expedition and the restoration of the Central Plains!
Therefore, in 346, at the age of 35, Huan Wen led the Yizhou Assassin Shi Zhoufu (the son of the famous general Zhou Guan, who had formed a family with Tao Kan), Sima Wuji, the King of Tan, and Yuan Qiao, the Chancellor of Jiangxia, to begin a journey to conquer Shu land.
Huan Wen set out from the Tsing Yi River (present-day Tsing Yi River, a tributary of the Min River) and went up the Min River against the current and into the territory of Chenghan.
In March 347, he captured Peng Mo (彭模, in present-day southeastern Pengshan, Sichuan) and listened to Yuan Qiao's advice, intending to "unite forces with a combined force to win the victory of the First World War". Therefore, he left heavy grain and grass and old and weak soldiers in Peng Mo, and sent Zhou Chu (Zhou Fu's son) and Sun Sheng to garrison. These two generals lived up to expectations, repelled the Chenghan army, and saved the supply of grain and grass for the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Huan Wen personally led the infantry, took the trail, and took Chengdu directly. Because Huan Wen's military strength at that time was estimated to be more than 30,000, compared with Chenghan's strength, there was a lot of difference, and this tactic should be said to be very in line with the actual situation.
He reached Chengdu for ten miles, fought three battles and three victories, and finally fought a decisive battle with Li Shi at Zuo Bridge (southwest of present-day Chengdu). In the end, Li Shi was defeated and surrendered. The Chenghan regime was completely overthrown!
Huan Wen's prestige has grown from then on, and he has embarked on the road of power. It is unfair to separate Huan Wen from his father in the Book of Jin, and to place him among Wang Dun and other traitors, and we will talk about his Northern Expedition and more stories later.
Huan Wen compared himself to Sima Yi, Liu Kun and the like, and some people compared him to Wang Dun, and he was very unhappy. During the Northern Expedition, he received a nu (㚢) woman, which means slave maid, and originally served Liu Kun. When this slave saw Huan Wen, she burst into tears. Huan Wen did not know why, so he asked why. The slave maid said that because Huan Wen looked very much like Liu Kun.
Huan Wen was very happy, sorting out the clothes, freshening up and grooming, and then asking the slave maid if it looked like it. After careful examination, the slave said: The face is very similar, but thin; the eyes are very similar, but small; the beard is very similar, but red; the shape is very similar, that is, short; the voice is very similar, that is, a bit of a woman.
Huan Wenqi slept in a mixture of breath, and he couldn't lift his spirits for several days!
Haha, Huan Wen Huan Wen, also very cute!
