The Wuhu Uprising was a critical moment for the Jin Dynasty. The empire had been ravaged by the disorders of the Eight Princes and left in a very vulnerable state at the commencement of the invasion. It seems that the execution of the corrupt Sima Yue at the hands of the Imperial guard after his plot to replace them with his own forces was laid bare triggered a change in Emperor Ming, and his successful Northern Campaign and highly active and aggressive preservation of the dynasty and its unification were primarily a result of this.
What if Sima Yue had gone on controlling Emperor Ming and the Jin state had ineffective leadership going into the crisis? Could the Xiongnu have destroyed Jin in an earlier version of what happened with the Khitan invasion and the dynasty, along with one of the greatest periods in Chinese history, been strangled in its cradle?
