Zu Ti and Liu Kun were both historical figures in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period of China, and there is an unknown story between them. It is said that at that time, the Xianbei tribe in the north invaded the south, and Zu Ti led the army to resist, but for some reason did not go to save Liu Kun. So why didn't Zu Ti save Liu Kun? This question is still controversial today.

One view is that Zu Ti believed that Liu Kun was not a true loyalist. At that time, Liu Kun was an official of the Eastern Jin court, and he had once suggested some strategies to Zu Ti, but Zu Ti did not adopt them. Later, when Zu Ti led the army to fight against the northern invasion, Liu Kun secretly colluded with the Xianbei tribe and attempted to seize the power of the Eastern Jin. Therefore, Zu Ti believed that Liu Kun was an untrusted person and there was no need to save him.

Another view is that Zu Ti did not deliberately fail to rescue Liu Kun. At that time, Zu Ti led the army to fight against the northern invasion, facing great difficulties and pressure. His troops were exhausted and food and grass were insufficient. At this time, if he went to rescue Liu Kun, it would divide his troops and resources, making the overall situation more unfavorable. Therefore, Zu Ti decided to abandon the rescue of Liu Kun and focus on resisting the invasion of the Xianbei tribe.

Neither view can fully explain why Zu Ti did not save Liu Kun. However, this story tells us a truth: in war, everyone has their own interests and considerations. Sometimes, in order to achieve the overall interests and victory, we need to make some difficult decisions, even giving up some personal interests and emotions. This requires us to have a high sense of responsibility and strategic vision to achieve the ultimate victory in complex situations.
