Origin Story
话说东晋王朝偏安一隅，南昌守将庾翼雄心勃勃，欲率军北伐，收复中原失地。他的部下范汪却认为时机未成熟，建议先练兵，积蓄粮草。范汪上书晋成帝，说道：‘如今长江以北，战火纷飞，各路军队都想抢占有利地势，争夺资源，如同干涸的汉水河道，各路大军只能鱼贯而行，互相推挤，艰难前进。’范汪认为，贸然北伐，只会损兵折将，得不偿失，只有做好充分准备，才能在时机成熟时，一举成功。他提出的建议，最终被采纳，东晋才避免了一场不必要的战争，为日后北伐奠定了基础。
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the imperial court was nestled in the south. Yu Yi, the governor of Nanchang, harbored ambitions of leading a northern expedition to reclaim lost territories in the north. His subordinate, Fan Wang, however, believed the time wasn't ripe and suggested first training troops and accumulating supplies. Fan Wang wrote to Emperor Cheng of Jin, stating: ‘In the north, various armies are scrambling for advantageous positions and resources, similar to fish swimming in a narrow stream. Military campaigns would be difficult and cause many casualties.’ Fan Wang believed a hasty campaign would result in unnecessary losses and that only after thorough preparation would success be guaranteed. His advice was ultimately heeded, preventing an unnecessary war and laying the groundwork for future campaigns.
