The story of Yan Huang and Chiyou War.

introduce

Legend has it that about 4,600 years ago, the Yellow Emperor joined the Yan Di tribe and fought a bitter and fierce war in Zhuolu (now Zhuolu County, Hebei Province) with Chiyou, the leader of the Jiuli nationality of Dongyi Group. It was a large-scale war in ancient times. The purpose of the "war" is for both sides to compete for the Central Plains suitable for grazing and shallow farming. It is also the earliest recorded "war" in the history of our country, which has had a great influence on the transformation of ancient Huaxia nationality from barbarism to civilization. Jiuli originally lived in the south, and then went north to the Central Plains. They clashed with the tribe headed by the Yellow Emperor, and the two sides fought in the land of Zhuolu. It is said that Chiyou people are good at using weapons, their bronze weapons are excellent and solid, and the people are brave and good at fighting. After entering North China, they first confronted the Yan Di tribe. The Chiyou people joined forces with the giant Kuafu tribe and Sanmiao, defeated the Yan Di people by force, and then occupied the "Nine Corners" where Yan Di people lived, namely "Kyushu".

In order to survive, the Yan Di people turned to the Huangdi people of the same clan for help. In order to safeguard the overall interests of Huaxia Group, Huangdi clan agreed to the request of Yan Di clan and pushed its power to the east. In this way, the Chiyou people who pushed northwest met in Zhuolu area. At that time, Chiyou people gathered 8 1 branch (72 families), which occupied some advantages in strength. Therefore, after the contact between the two sides, the Chiyou people took the initiative to attack the Huangdi people relying on the conditions of large number and excellent weapons. The Yellow Emperor clan is headed by totems such as bear, wolf, leopard, eagle, dragon and owl. To fight against Chiyou, let the "Ying Long high water level", that is, build an earth dam on the river to store water, in order to stop Chiyou's attack.

After the war broke out, it coincided with dense fog and stormy weather, which was very suitable for Chiyou people from the rainy environment in the east to launch military operations. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Huangdi clan, which was suitable for fighting in sunny days, was at a disadvantage. Nine wars were defeated (nine is an imaginary number, described as many times). However, before long, the rainy season passed and the weather cleared up, which provided an important opportunity for the Huangdi family to turn defeat into victory. With the support of the Xuan Nv clan, the Huangdi clan mastered the fighter plane and launched a counterattack against the Chiyou clan. Taking advantage of the special favorable weather-strong winds, dusty skies, blowing horns, beating gongs and drums, and taking advantage of the confusion and shock of the Chiyou nationality, the southern guide car was used to point out the direction, which led the masses to attack the Chiyou nationality, and finally defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, and captured and killed its leader in the wild of Jizhou (now Jizhou, Hebei Province). The battle of Zhuolu ended in the victory of the Huangdi nationality.

Myths and legends

Legend has it that one of the most famous wars in ancient times was the war between Yandi, Huangdi and Chiyou. That war was really dark and boring! Historians of later generations called this war "the battle of Zhuolu". Because of this war, the Yellow Emperor was established as the ancestor of the Chinese nation.

Chiyou was the minister of Emperor Yan. In order to dominate the world, he joined the Miao family and drove Emperor Yan from the south to Zhuolu. He also called himself Nandi. He is a very ambitious man. During the war, I saw Chiyou standing in the clouds, holding a long sword, and commanding the army to rush to Yan Di's camp like a wasp. While resisting, Yan Di took his soldiers and hurried out of the battlefield in the rain of arrows. When Yan Di's army met the Yellow Emperor, Yan Di reported the situation to the Yellow Emperor: Chiyou not only invaded our country, but also marched into Zhuolu and invaded our border. So the Yellow Emperor ordered the reorganization of the army, and the two armies fought against Chiyou's army again. Everyone thinks that as long as we work together in Qi Xin and Qi Xin, we will surely defeat Chiyou. Unexpectedly, Chiyou offered a black magic. In an instant, a thick fog rose between heaven and earth, and I couldn't see my fingers. Suddenly, the army chaos, China army losing! For a while, the battlefield was jittery, and the two armies rushed to kill each other, but in the end, the Chinese army finally couldn't bear the attack of the enemy Chiyou and retreated from the dense fog in a hurry. In order not to let the people in the world suffer, the Yellow Emperor sent people to negotiate with Chiyou many times, but Chiyou, who was brave and good at fighting, still went his own way and the two sides did not reach an understanding. So the Yellow Emperor decided to put all your eggs in one basket, and found Yan Di and Jiutian Xuan Nv to think about operational countermeasures all night.

When Chiyou was besieged in a critical situation, there was a man named Hou Feng in the Chinese army. She learned through divination that only with the help of the power of nature can Chiyou be defeated. Hou Feng invented the compass by using the principle that the magnet depends on the magnetic field of the north and south poles of the earth.

Because the pointer of the compass always points to a fixed direction between the north and the south, they used the compass to determine the direction in the fog and were able to escape from the battlefield and reach Nanshan, while Chiyou's troops pursued Nanshan and attacked China's army with water. Fortunately, at this critical moment? Arrived in time and saved the Chinese army, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. After the water attack, the China People's Army regrouped, and Xuan Nv taught the word Long Snake Array for nine days. When Chiyou attacked, the long snake array was connected end to end, and Chiyou's soldiers were surrounded. After the March, they also used the south guide car to identify the position, so everyone attacked in the direction indicated by the south guide car. At this time, China people's army fought a battle between the skin of Chiyou and the bones of Raytheon.

Know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle. In the end, Chiyou was defeated in Zhuolu battlefield, but the captured Chiyou refused to surrender, so the Yellow Emperor ordered him to be beheaded, and the blood-stained land of Chiyou became a maple forest, and the Yanhuang tribe finally United and unified the whole Central Plains.

Evaluation of the war

The general process of this "war" was revealed by myths and legends, so it is impossible to talk about more specific details. But myth is a projection of history after all, which reflects the fact itself in a tortuous way. In this sense, the battle of Zhuolu is the origin of the ancient war in China.

In the battle of Zhuolu, the Huangdi nationality won the final victory because the war guidance was better than the Chiyou nationality. Specifically, it has begun to pay attention to preparing for war from both political and military aspects, as evidenced by the saying that "Xuanyuan family was a soldier in Xiu De" in history. In the course of the war, the Huangdi clan is also good at netting allies, paying attention to choosing and preparing the battlefield, skillfully using the weather conditions that are beneficial to themselves and unfavorable to the enemy, and fighting back decisively and timely, thus defeating powerful opponents in one fell swoop and establishing their own control over the Central Plains. On the contrary, despite their powerful forces and superior weapons and equipment, Chiyou people blindly believe in force and expand abroad year after year, sowing the seeds of failure in advance. In operational guidance, the lack of adaptability to weather conditions and preparations for the large-scale counterattack of the Huangdi clan eventually led to defeat and lost the historic opportunity to control the Central Plains.

The battle of Zhuolu effectively laid the foundation for Huaxia Group to occupy the vast Central Plains, and played a catalytic role in further integrating various clans and tribes. Huangdi, the tribal leader who won the war, became the same clan of the Chinese nation and was gradually deified. It can be seen that the battle of Zhuolu is indeed a historic "war" for our Chinese nation to decide the basic appearance of the future.
