My charming, short-lived ancestor: Wow! That is to say, the Battle of Guandu is really awesome.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: I agree! After all, it was Prime Minister Cao’s battle to become famous.

Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: Agreed! Moreover, there are counselors such as Xun Yu operating remotely.

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: Yes, but this game is really with fewer enemies and more, and Prime Minister Cao wins.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Agreed! That was Cao Cao, the hero of troubled times.

Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: But his opponent is also the fourth generation and third prince Yuan Benchu!

I can't sleep at night (Guan): This time it can be said that it is a fight between gods. It is simply a model battle.

Kick the lame man's good leg like crazy: It's the kind of thing that can be included in a textbook, right?
My charming and short-lived ancestor: there seems to be nothing wrong with him? After all, I actually saw it in a textbook

Su Yue looked at what these people said and said, "Okay, don't flatter our Boss Cao! Now let's take a look at the next battle - the Battle of Feishui!"

Preparation before the war
In the second year of Taiyuan (AD 377), the Eastern Jin Dynasty appointed Huan Chong's son Huan Si as the governor of Jiangzhou.

Wang Yun, the Minister of the Fifth Army, was also appointed to supervise the military affairs in the south of the Yangtze River and to serve as the governor of Xuzhou. He appointed Xie Xuan, Sima of the Western Expedition and Prime Minister of Nanjun, as the governor of Yanzhou and the prime minister of Guangling to supervise the military affairs north of the Yangtze River.

Later Xie An recommended his nephew Xie Xuan to guard the northern territory.

Xie An himself was in charge of the military affairs of Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and was in charge of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Huan Chong was the governor of Jingzhou and defended the Jingxiang area; Xie Xuan held Guangling and defended the Huainan area with Xie An.

In order to strengthen the central military strength, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin ordered Xie Xuan to recruit people from Huainan and Jiangbei, select good generals in Guangling, train elite soldiers, and select Liu Laozhi and others to establish the Beifu Army.

Battle of Huainan
In February of the third year of Taiyuan (AD 378), the former Qin King Fu Jian sent General Zhengnan, the governor to conquer various military forces, Shou Shangshu Ling, Changle Gong Fu Pi, Wuwei General Gou Chang and Shangshu Murong led infantry and cavalry to attack. In Xiangyang, let Yang Yang, the governor of Jingzhou, lead the troops from Fanzhou and Dengzhou as the vanguard. Shi Yue, the conscripting general from Shiping, led elite cavalry out of Luyang Pass. Murong Chui, Yin of Jingzhao, and Yao Chang, general Yangwu, led . The soldiers came out of Nanxiang. The leading general Gou Chi, the right general Mao Dang, and the powerful crossbow general Wang Xian led soldiers out of Wudang and joined forces to attack Xiangyang.

The army was divided into three groups to encircle Xiangyang, with a total of 17 troops invested.

In April, the army of the former Qin Dynasty arrived north of Mianshui River. Zhu Xu, the governor of Liangzhou, believed that the army of the former Qin Dynasty had no boats and was not prepared.

When Shi Yue led 5,000 cavalry across the Han River, Zhu Xu panicked and defended the central city.

Shi Yue captured his outer city and captured more than a hundred ships to pick up the remaining troops.

Changle Duke Fu Pi led the generals to attack the central city.

Murong Chui captured Nanyang, captured the prefect Zheng Yi, and met Fu Pi in Xiangyang.

After Xiangyang defender Zhu Xu defended the city for nearly a year, he was captured in February of the fourth year of Taiyuan (379).

Fu Jian sent Peng Chao to besiege Pengcheng, and the Qin-Jin Huainan War broke out.

Xie An was setting up defenses in Jiankang, and ordered Xie Xuan to lead 5 Beifu troops from Guangling. Xie Xuan won four out of four battles and completely annihilated the enemy.

Xie An was granted the title of Duke of Changxian County due to his meritorious service, and Xie Xuan was granted the title of Marquis of Dongxing County.

Feishui decisive battle
公元383年8月，苻融率25万先锋军队。苻坚率步兵60万、骑兵27万，共112万大军（实际上仅30万到达战场）前来。

The Eastern Jin Dynasty took Xie An's nephew Xie Xuan as the vanguard and led 7 "Beifu soldiers" with strong combat effectiveness after seven years of training to the west along the Huaihe River to meet the main force of the Qin army. In May of the eighth year of Taiyuan (AD 8), Huan Chong sent one hundred thousand troops from Jingzhou to attack Qin in order to contain the Qin army and reduce the pressure on the lower reaches.

On the second day of August, Fu Jian sent Yangping Gong Fu Rong to supervise the infantry and cavalry of Zhang Hao, Murong Chui and others, a total of 250,000 people, as the vanguard. He appointed Yao Chang, the governor of Yanzhou, as General Longxiang to supervise the military affairs of Yi and Liangzhou. .

On the eighth day of August, Fu Jian sent troops to Chang'an, personally leading 600,000 infantry and 270,000 cavalry, and began a large-scale invasion southward.

In September, Fu Jian arrived in Xiangcheng, and Liangzhou's army arrived in Xianyang. Pei Yuanlue, the prefect of Zitong, led a navy of 7 people down the river from Bashu to the east. The armies of Youzhou and Jizhou also arrived in Pengcheng, marching thousands of miles from east to west, by land and water.

Yangping Gong Fu Rong and others' troops of 300,000 people arrived at Yingkou in advance.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty faced a large army and issued an edict, appointing Shangshu servant Xie Shi as the general to conquer the captives and the governor of the expedition. and others, commanded 80,000 soldiers to resist the former Qin Dynasty.

He also asked Longxiang General Hu Bin to lead 5,000 naval troops to assist Shouyang. A total of three groups of soldiers and horses went north to meet the former Qin army.

In October, the former Qin Yang Ping Gong Fu Rong and others attacked Shouyang.

On the 18th, they captured Shouyang and captured Pinglu general Xu Yuanxi and others. Murong Chui captured Yun City.

Fu Rong marched to attack Xia Shi where Hu Bin retreated.

Former Qin Wei general Liang Cheng and others led 50,000 troops to station in Luojian and set up defenses along the Huaihe River to contain the troops to the east.

Fu Jian believed that he could win the battle quickly and sent Zhu Xu, who was already the Minister of the former Qin Dynasty, to persuade Xie Shi to surrender. However, Zhu Xu privately reminded Xie Shi that it was appropriate to strike first and defeat the vanguard troops of the former Qin Dynasty.

He said: "Although the Qin army has millions of people, it is still advancing. If the troops are concentrated, it will be difficult for the Jin army to resist.

The situation is different now. We should take advantage of the opportunity before the Qin army has arrived and launch an attack quickly. As long as we can defeat its forward troops and demoralize them, we can defeat Qin's million-strong army. "

Xie Shi initially believed that the Qin army was strong and planned to hold on without fighting until the enemy was tired before waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

After listening to Zhu Xu's words, he thought it made sense, so he changed his combat strategy and decided to switch from defense to offense and take the initiative.

Battle of Feishui
In November, Xie Xuan sent Guangling Prime Minister Liu Laozhi to lead 5,000 elite troops to Luojian, which kicked off the Feishui War.

Qin general Liang Cheng guarded the mountain stream and deployed troops to meet the attack.

Liu Laozhi won a great victory at Luojian, killing Liang Cheng, Liang Yun and Yiyang Governor Wang Yong. The Qin army lost more than ten generals and tens of thousands of troops.

Liu Laozhi sent troops to block the crossing of the Huaihe River, annihilated 15,000 former Qin troops, and captured Wang Xian, the governor of Yangzhou in the former Qin Dynasty, and others.

The Jin army marched westward and confronted the Qin army at Feishui.

In December someone suggested to Fu Jian that he should retreat and fight decisively. The Qin generals believed that it would be safer to block the enemy at the Feishui River, but Fu Jian believed that attacking halfway across the river would lead to a proactive duel.

When the Qin army moved back, the Jin army crossed the water to attack.

Zhu Xu, Zhang Tianxi and others shouted from behind the Qin army: "The Qin army on the front line has been defeated!" The Qin army was in chaos. Then the Jin army attacked with all its strength and defeated the Qin army.

Xie Xuan, Xie Yan and Huan Yi led a Jin army of 70,000, and defeated the former Qin army of 150,000 led by Fu Jian and Fu Rong, and killed Fu Rong in formation.
