The Biography of Schiller Part 2(14)

In the second year of Taixing (319), Chen Chuan, the master of Yuzhou Wu, failed to compete with Zu Ti. He surrendered to Shile, and Zu Ti led an army to attack Chen Chuan. Shi Le sent Shi Hu to rescue and defeated Zu Ti, forcing him to retreat to Huainan. The next year, however, Zu Ti launched a counterattack and defeated the general TaoBao, who was defending Chen Chuan's old city. He also invited the troops of Later Zhao to attack the local troops several times, which upset the local garrison towns of Later Zhao, and many of them joined Zu Ti.

Because of Zu Ti's pacifist ability, not only the people south of the Yellow River joined Zu Ti, but also the owners of Hubei, where Shile was based, reported to Zu Ti about the situation of Later Zhao. As a result, Shile did not dare to attack Yuzhou with military force. Therefore, he decided to make peace with Zu Ti and allowed trade between the two places. At that time, Zu Ti had Tong Jian kill Xin CAI's internal history Zhou Mi and surrender to Shi Le, but Shi Le killed Tong Jian and sent his head to Zu Ti. Zu Ti also refused to accept those who betrayed Later Zhao and surrendered. In this way, the border between the two countries was stable and the Yanzhou and Yuzhou people could rest. However, many of them had dual identities, belonging to both Eastern Jin and Later Zhao.
