Fei Shui, Chen and Jin soldiers of the Qin army are not allowed to cross the river. Xie Xuan sent an envoy to see Yang Ping and Gong Rong, saying, "It is a long-term plan for you to stop fighting and push for water, not for a quick victory. If it is transferred to Shao Chen, it will help nomads from the river to decide the outcome. Wouldn't that be great? " All the generals of the state of Qin said, "I am outnumbered. I might as well stop here, so that I can get things done." Jane said, "But if you serenade him halfway, I'll kill him with an iron horse. This is beyond reproach! " Rong thought so too, so he ordered the soldiers to make it disappear. Chi then retreated, unstoppable.
Xie Xuan, Xie Yan, Huan Yi and so on. Lead the troops across the water to attack them.

The former Qin army was deployed under pressure, and the Eastern Jin army could not cross it. Xie Xuan sent an emissary to Gong Rong in Yangping, saying, "You are alone, but you are pressing water to adjust your troops. This is a strategy of long-term stalemate, not a method of quick combat. Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could move our troops back a little and let the Jin army cross the river to decide the outcome? " All the generals in the former Qin Dynasty said, "We are outnumbered, so we might as well contain them so that they can't go ashore. This will be foolproof. " Fu Jian said, "Just lead the troops back a little, let them cross the river halfway, and then we will send armored cavalry to attack and kill them. There is no reason to be invincible! " Fu Rong also thought it was ok, so he waved the flag and commanded the soldiers to retreat. Once the former Qin army retreated, it was out of control.
Xie Xuan, Xie Yan and Huan Yi led the troops across the river to attack them. Fu Rong rode a horse to patrol the army and tried to lead the retreating soldiers. As a result, his horse fell to the ground, Fu Rong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was killed by soldiers, and the army of the former Qin Dynasty collapsed. Xie Xuan, etc. All the way to Cyclobalanopsis. The army of the former Qin Dynasty was defeated, and the people who were trampled to death flooded Shan Ye and blocked the mountains and rivers. When the refugees heard the sound of the wind blowing and the chirping of cranes, they all thought that the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were coming. They didn't dare to stop day and night, panicked, slept on the streets and died of hunger and cold.
When the former Qin army retreated slightly, Zhu Xu shouted behind the army: "Qin Jun failed!" Hearing this, the soldiers ran away. Zhu Xu flew to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with Tianxi Zhang and Xu Yuanxi. Fu Jian, the former king of Qin, was captured in a car decorated with mica. Shouyang was also occupied, and so was Bao Guo, the former prefect of Huainan in Qin Dynasty.
