Idioms and allusions

At the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, destroyed Shu state and seized the power of Wei state. After that, he prepared to send troops to attack Dongwu and realize his wish to unify China. He called together the ministers of culture and military to discuss the great plan of extermination. Most people think that the state of Wu still has some strength, so it's not easy to eliminate it at one stroke. It's better to have enough preparation. General Du Yu disagreed with the majority and wrote a memorial to Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. Du Yu thinks that we must take advantage of the weakness of the state of Wu to destroy it, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat it when it has strength. After reading Du Yu's Memorial, Sima Yan asked his most trusted minister Zhang Hua for advice. Zhang Hua agreed with Du Yu's analysis and advised Sima Yan to attack the state of Wu quickly to avoid future trouble. So Sima Yan made up his mind to appoint Du Yuzuo as the general of the south. In 279 ad, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, mobilized more than 200000 soldiers and horses to attack the state of Wu by six routes of water and land. All the way, the battle drums were singing, the battle flags were flying, and the soldiers were mighty and majestic. The next year, he captured Jiangling, killed a general of the state of Wu, and led the army to pursue the victory. Wu Jun, who lived in the south of Yuanjiang and Xiangjiang rivers, was scared to death when he heard the news. They opened the city gates one after another and surrendered. Sima Yan ordered Du Yu to go to the capital of Wu state from the path. At this time, some people are worried that the water potential of the Yangtze River will soar. It is better to wait until winter to attack. Du Yu firmly opposed the withdrawal of troops. He said: "now, taking advantage of the high morale and strong fighting spirit, he has won one victory after another. He is as strong as a bolt (like splitting bamboo with a sharp knife. After a few sections, the bamboo will crack). It will not take much effort to attack the state of Wu at one stroke." under the leadership of Du Yu, the army of Jin Dynasty rushed straight to Jianye, the capital of Wu, and soon occupied Jianye and destroyed the state of Wu. Emperor Wu of Jin unified the whole country.
