There are many such examples in history.

During the Battle of Fu Jian and Feishui, only a small part of the hundreds of thousands of troops actually came into contact with the Jin army. After their defeat, the others did not have much loyalty to Fu Jian, so they naturally ran away.

To put it bluntly, Fu Jian never really integrated these armies - in fact, he never really integrated his country, he only achieved superficial unity.

In addition, there was the battle of the Tang Dynasty's nine military governors besieging Xiangzhou.

The Anshi rebels retreated steadily, suffering heavy casualties and low morale. As a result, the Tang Dynasty did not have a general commander, and the nine Jiedu fought independently. If one person lost, the other eight would run away, and they would not fight to the death at all. Because they did not have a general commander.

, I don’t know who will cut off the rear, who will block the attack, or who will make a detour. Anyway, just don’t trust the friendly forces, lest you become cannon fodder.

If Sima Yue wanted to succeed in the Northern Expedition, he could only temporarily gather a miscellaneous group of troops, because there were too few soldiers in Luoyang.

It's just a temporary gathering. The key is that they don't belong to each other. There are many mountains and they are very independent. You don't trust me and I don't trust you. They all want others to die, and I will reap the benefits. This is the most terrible thing.

If we take these people on the Northern Expedition, the error tolerance rate will be too low.

Normally, it would be no harm if the forwards suffered a defeat. They were originally there to explore the way and figure out the enemy's troop deployment. If they were defeated, they would reorganize and wait for the main force to come up before fighting hard.

But at this time, it may cause a large-scale chain reaction and lead to the failure of the Northern Expedition.

In a major retreat, no one can guarantee that they will survive.

A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. It is better not to participate in this kind of war in which "friendly armies" each have their own agenda.

If you have that time, it would be better to stay in Luoyang to train students and reorganize your troops.

He must not fight like Sima Yue. He must have a relatively pure army that can act like an arm and a finger.

In short, the student army is a direct lineage, and the others are miscellaneous. You have to know who you rely on.
