Wonderful war in spring and autumn

In the spring and autumn period, the ceremony collapsed and the music was bad. In fact, according to the later Warring States period, it was much simpler. Wars in the Warring States period were mostly for killing and destroying each other, while in the Spring and Autumn Period, they were for hegemony and some wonderful reasons. The battle of Chujin is an example. After the Chu army defeated the Jin army, it also taught the Jin army how to escape, which was a model of civilization in the war.

Background of "Battle of Thailand"

The Battle of Tai took place between the State of Jin and the State of Chu. Jin is a big country in the north and Chu is a big country in the south. The two great powers do not deal with it, but strive for hegemony. Jin and Chu are not bordered, and a small country sandwiched between two big countries is in dire straits. They are inevitably influenced by Jin Chu War and become their chips for hegemony.

Chu first besieged Zheng, but Zheng couldn't beat Chu. How to divine well? As a result, he cried in front of the ancestral temple. So the people of Zheng ran to the ancestral temple and cried, and the soldiers guarding the city also cried. Chu Zhuangwang saw that they were crying too much and left for the time being. The people of Zheng took the opportunity to repair the city wall and were attacked by the Chu army. They went in at once.

Zheng surrendered, asked to save Zheng, and got the consent. On the one hand, the state of Jin also wanted to compete for Zheng, so it also sent troops to save Zheng.

The process of "the battle of Thailand"

The "Battle of Tai" ended with the victory of Chu Army and the failure of Jin Army, and the reason for the failure of Jin Army was that their hearts were divided and their generals were at odds. The basic decision of whether to fight or not is contradictory. Jin Jun is divided into upper, middle and lower armed forces. Xun, the commander of the Han army, meant not to fight, because Zheng Guodu had surrendered, and it was the same reason to wait until Chu withdrew to fight Zheng, while the lieutenant of the Han army had to fight first, not only to fight, but also to disobey orders and lead the army across the Yellow River.

Xun Linfu had no choice but to cross the river with 8 Jin Army. In the face of the Jin army, the Chu army was afraid and had different voices. Chu Zhuangwang wanted to withdraw, Chu made Shuai want to withdraw, but Wu Shen, his favourite, thought he should fight the Jin army. Chu Zhuangwang accepted Wu Shen's suggestion and waited for the arrival of the Jin army.

Zheng sent messengers to the camp of the Jin army, saying that Zheng surrendered to Chu by force, in fact, it was good with the State of Jin, hoping that the State of Jin would help him defeat Chu. The important generals of 8 jin j once had contradictions and were divided into two factions. One side wants to fight, and the other side doesn't want to fight.

Wei Kun and Zhao Yong of Jin requested to be sent to Chu. The two men were dissatisfied with the state of Jin because their desires were not satisfied, hoping to provoke the Chu army to attack the Jin army, and they were indeed pursued by the Chu army. The state of Jin sent someone to meet the two men, and the result was considered by the Chu army to be an initiative. The Chu army immediately launched a counterattack, but because the Jin army was completely unprepared, it was almost wiped out.

The Chu army taught the Jin army to escape.

8 jin j can't fight this battle, only escape. So a more wonderful situation appeared in the history of war. There were too many troops in the state of Jin, and they ran at sixes and sevens. The Chu people taught the people in the state of Jin to tear down the crossbar in front of the chariot so as not to interfere with each other. The Golden Man had just escaped for a while when the horses began to hover again.

The Chu people also taught the Jin people to throw away the standard and the crossbar at the end of the axle. While doing this, the Jin people turned back and mocked the Chu people, saying that they were not defeated and fled many times like the Chu people and had no experience in this field.

The battle of Tai ended in the rout of the Jin army. According to the rules of war of later generations, the Chu army should pursue hard and destroy as many enemies as possible. But in the "Battle of Tai" in the Spring and Autumn Period, the winner taught the loser to escape. In addition, Pan Dang, the general of the Chu army, asked for casting with the bodies of Jin people, but he was also rejected on the grounds of "armistice". Generally speaking, the "Taichi War", as a war, aims at conquest and takes killing as a means, but it is still more civilized than the Warring States period.
