<> "What are the surprising things in the Battle of Yi?

The Battle of Yi, also known as the "Battle of Liangtang", was a famous battle in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and was the second major contest between the two most powerful vassal states at that time, Jin and Chu, in their struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains.

In most people's perceptions, war is an act of violence, either you die or I live, and there is no humanity at all. In fact, the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period brought out some ridiculous things that refreshed people's three views, such as the battle of Jin, Chu and Yi.

The Spring and Autumn Stage for more than 300 years was mainly the Central Plains hegemony between the Jin State and the Hungry Serving Chu State. In 597 B.C., the state besieged Zheng State, and the Jin State sent troops to the rescue, and the two sides fought for the land in Yi, which is the battle of Yi in history. The Battle of Yi was the second major contest between the two countries after the Battle of Chengpu, and the war ended in the victory of the Chu army, and the king of Chu Zhuang became one of the "Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons".

Although this war is quite significant, there is no detailed record of the number of troops on both sides in the historical records, and of course, these are not the main points. What surprised later generations in this battle was that the Jin people, who were the losers, were helped by the victors Chu three times and twice in the process of escaping, which refreshed people's perception of the war.

In the process of escaping, some of the chariots of the Jin people got stuck in the mud puddle and could not advance, so the chasing Chu people stopped and told the Jin people that they should pull out the crossbar in front of the car, and the Jin people were able to continue to escape. But they didn't run far, the horses of the Jin people circled, so the Chu people taught them to pull out the banner and throw away the crossbar on the head of the chariot, relying on the help of the Chu people, the Jin people finally escaped smoothly.

What is even more surprising is that the Jin people who escaped expressed their opinions on this matter, "mainly because the Chu people have rich experience in escaping". "Zuo Chuan" also has a detailed record of this incident, "The Jin people or the Yiguang team can't enter, and the Chu people can't get rid of it, and they don't enter, and the horses are returned, and they are worried about pulling out and balancing, and they are out." Gu said:

I might as well run for the number of great powers. ”

Why is this the case cautious in battlefield talks? It turned out that the war in the Spring and Autumn Period had rules of etiquette, just like a modern arena, when the vassal states were relatives with the same surname and family, and if there was a contradiction, they could "fight" within the rules, and there was no need to go to the point of life and death. By the late Spring and Autumn period, etiquette collapsed, and war no longer had a warm side.
