The moral of this is: after sending troops, soldiers bring back the bodies of the dead from the battlefield from time to time, which shows that the situation is dangerous.
Judging from the divinatory symbols, Sanliu belongs to the yin and occupies the yang position, but Sanliu is above 92, and Sanliu is soft in the yang position and above the divinatory symbol position of the lower body. There is no yang in the upper body and yang in the lower body, which is also a kind of softness. This symbolizes that the generals who lead the troops are weak, heavy-handed, only sparse and upright, regardless of unfavorable subjective and objective conditions, greedy for perfection, aggressive, repeatedly defeated and suffered heavy losses. In the Battle of Feishui, a million troops in the former Qin Dynasty were defeated by 80,000 troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The result of "division or corpse" is worth pondering.
In 383 AD, Fu Jian, the former commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty, led a million troops south, and launched a life-and-death battle with 80,000 northern government soldiers in Xie 'an of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Fu Jian was ambitious since he was a child and made friends with heroes. After he acceded to the throne, he vigorously reorganized the ruling and opposition parties, and made great efforts to reuse the Prime Minister Wang Meng, which made the country's strength continuously enhanced. Several separatist regimes in the north were eliminated one after another, successfully unified the north, and captured the Shu area belonging to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, confronting the north and south of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Wang Meng, the late king, warned Fu Jian before he died: Although the Jin Dynasty was isolated in the south of the Yangtze River, it was orthodox and peaceful in China, and it was absolutely impossible to try to destroy the gold.
However, seven years after Wang Meng's death, Fu Jian decided that the time was ripe, regardless of the opposition of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the current situation of the former Qin Dynasty's years of struggle for people's livelihood and unstable rule, and resolutely recruited troops to the south. Holding a million heroes in his hand, he seems to think that waving his hand can pacify Jiankang. He didn't care about the natural hazards of the Yangtze River at all, saying, "Take my countless trips and whip the river to stop its flow. What risks can I rely on? "
Facing the million-strong army of the former Qin dynasty, the ruling and opposition parties were terrified, and many generals were afraid to go out for fear. Xie Xuan, the commander of the forward, couldn't sit still and went to visit his uncle Xie An.
Commander Xie An instructed his generals: on the one hand, he asked Hengchong to lead 654.38+ 10,000 Jingzhou troops to contain the former Qin army to alleviate the downstream pressure; On the other hand, he asked Xie Xuan to lead 80,000 northern government troops to a decisive battle with Fu Jian.
Speaking of these 80,000 northern government troops, the origin is extraordinary. Beifu soldiers were absorbed and reorganized from armed refugees at the behest of Xie An. Before joining the army, they lived a life of eating and drinking blood, so their fighting capacity was extremely strong, and most of them had blood feuds with nomadic people in the north. The establishment of the northern government soldiers has undoubtedly become a killer weapon for Xie An to deal with Fu Jian.
As a coach, Xie An showed his calmness and self-confidence in the face of danger, gave a powerful reassurance to the frightened ruling and opposition parties, inspired people around him to fight to the end, and secretly actively planned and prepared for the war of resistance.
The continuous retreat of the troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the front made Fu Jian more convinced that the enemy was so vulnerable. He proudly sent his troops to Chang 'an, leading 600,000 infantry and 270,000 cavalry. Together with the 250,000-step army led by striker Fu Rong and about1120,000 cavalry, it began a large-scale southward invasion.
If Fu Jian can slowly and steadily at this time, and go all out to cross the river after the army is assembled, maybe history will be rewritten. However, at this time, Fu Jian relied on his own army, thinking that the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.
Fu Jian was even happier when he heard that striker Fu Rong had discovered the strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He thinks that the main forces of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will retreat to the Yangtze River, so it is better to destroy the main forces led by Xie Xuan and Xie Shi in Jiangbei.
Under the influence of this reckless thought, Fu Jian led 8,000 hussars to travel around the clock, secretly rushed to Shouyang to mingle with Fu Jian, and sent Zhu Xu, the former governor of Xiangyang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to persuade others to surrender. However, Zhu Xu revealed to Xie Shi the fact that the main force of the former Qin army had not been assembled. So Xie Xuan immediately sent Liu Laozhi, the first leading soldier of the northern government, to lead the elite five thousand people of the northern government. Before the attack, the fifty thousand vanguard troops led by Qin Jun Liang Cheng were caught off guard. I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at night, but I only hear the shouts of the Eastern Jin Army. Commander Liang Cheng was immediately beheaded by Liu Laozhi, and the army was defeated.
During World War I, Fu Jian fainted. He and Fu Rong boarded the tower under the cover of darkness to see the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, only to see them neat and magnificent; Looking north, the vegetation on Bagong Mountain looks like a human figure. At this time, Fu Jian changed from underestimating the enemy to fearing the enemy, sighing, "This is also a strong enemy. How can you say that they are few? " The failure of the vanguard troops greatly dampened the morale of the former Qin army.
Seeing that the decisive battle was ripe, Xie Xuan led his troops westward and confronted the former Qin army. At this time, Fu Jian made another mistake. Ignoring the generals' advice, he blocked the enemy on the waterfront and insisted on taking a speculative and adventurous withdrawal strategy to lure the Eastern Jin army to cross the water halfway and launch a surprise attack.
Just as Qin Jun retreated, Zhu Xu shouted behind Qin Jun: "Qin Jun at the front line was defeated!" Fearing the enemy like a tiger, Qin Jun fell into a state of chaos. The Jin army then went all out and crossed the feishui, while Qin Jun was defeated all the way. People trampling on the dead and wounded are all over the mountains and rivers of Shan Ye. The officers and men who fled heard the jitters and thought they were chasing troops. Countless people froze to death and starved to death. Striker Fu Rong was killed by the rebels, and Fu Jian himself was seriously injured. However, the former Qin Dynasty fell, and Fu Jian himself was defeated and killed two years later.
There are many reasons for Fu Jian's fiasco at Feishui. Internal instability, disagreement, confusion, and floating people's hearts; If the front line is too long and the troops are scattered, the shed length will be short and there will be no coordination; Frustrated in the first battle, that is, losing confidence; In addition, not knowing the military situation, retreating at will and making a mess provided the enemy with an opportunity; I didn't notice the espionage activities of Zhu Xu and others, and let my opponent know my situation, thus putting myself in a passive position. But the main reason for the failure was that Fu Jian was arrogant, subjective and arbitrary, did not listen to dissuasion, went to war rashly, was greedy for credit, and made mistakes in command, so that he was timid and collapsed again. This is a historical lesson exchanged with blood.
Sun Tzu said, "Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival are indispensable." .
