Shi Le went from defecting to Gongshi Fan to fighting independently, from encircling and annihilating the main force of the Jin army in Ku County to capturing Liu Yao in the decisive battle in Luoyang. He was almost invincible. There are three outstanding characteristics of its military art: first, high mobility, often using light cavalry to attack long distances, such as the Battle of Ningping City; second, being good at encircling points for reinforcements and mobilizing the enemy; third, skillful use of psychological warfare, such as Wude's surrender of soldiers, although cruel, but it did have the effect of "trembling the fortresses in Hebei". But even more amazing was his political wisdom. The thunderous rage when faced with Wang Yan's persuasion was by no means a simple emotional catharsis, but a subtle political performance. He denounced Wang Yan as "the king's sin caused the world to be destroyed like this." In fact, he was drawing a clear line with the decadent nobles of the Western Jin Dynasty and declaring the legitimacy of his new regime. The famous conversation between him and Xu Guang after he became emperor is a flash of political wisdom through the ages: "If I meet Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, I will fight from the north. If I meet Emperor Guangwu, I will drive with him to the Central Plains. Who will die is still unknown." It not only expressed respect for the previous British masters, but also confidently affirmed his own status. At the same time, he also drew a clear line between Cao Cao and Sima Yi who "bullied orphans and widows" to gain the world.
