When I was a child, I watched the movie "Chicken Feather Letter" and was deeply attracted by that little teenager. Haiwa, who was only more than ten years old, crossed the Japanese blockade area and sent an urgent message to the Eighth Route Army, along the way, he skillfully maneuvered with the Japanese army, fought wits and courage, and finally completed the task brilliantly.
Since ancient heroes came out of youth, China has always had no shortage of heroic teenagers, and the outer Yellow Children in the Chu-Han War were also.
In October of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (203 BC), the Chu-Han War had entered a scorching state, and the Chu and Han armies launched a tug-of-war on the xingyang and Chenggao fronts, often just the city of Han, and then occupied by Chu, just the land of Chu, and the fleeting moment was seized by Han. At this time, Xiang Yu was like an angry lion, as soon as he smelled a change, he raised his troops and left, rushing east and west, and there was no chapter.
Since Peng Yue destroyed his grain routes and occupied more than ten cities such as Waihuang, he once again jumped like a thunderbolt and personally led a large army to attack Waihuang, forcing Peng Yue to flee and the Waihuang soldiers and civilians to surrender. After Xiang Yu entered Waihuang, he vented his resentment toward Peng Yue and his anger at the people for cooperating with Peng Yue's resistance to the Chu army, and he had all the men over the age of fifteen in the city escorted to the east of the city, planning to bury them alive.
King Xiang's brutality had long been heard by the people of Waihuang, and his 200,000 Qin troops could be buried alive, not to mention these old and weak people in Waihuang City? Therefore, as soon as the news came out, the people looked at each other, terrified, as if the end was coming, and there were sighs, cries, and curses, and they did not know what to do. However, so many people, but none of them dared to go to the theory with King Xiang, they except for the wail, that is, everything was resigned to fate.
Adults are scared out of their guts to do things, but a cardamom teenager dares to do them. The son of Lingmenke of Waihuang County, who was only thirteen years old and did not contain his name in the history books, heard the news and went to the Chu army camp alone to ask to see King Xiang. Xiang Yu was very surprised to hear that a young child from the outer yellow had come to see him, and driven by curiosity, Xiang Yu summoned him.
After the young man came in, he was neither afraid nor restrained, but went straight to the subject and said to Xiang Yu: "Peng Yue threatened by force, and the people of Waihuang were afraid, so they had to temporarily submit, in order to wait for the early arrival of the great king, drive away Peng Yue, and return Waihuang to peace." However, when the king finally arrived, he heard the news that all the men over the age of fifteen were going to be killed, so that the chestnut was in danger, where would there be a heart to return? In this way, the hearts of the people are lost. Not only the people of Waihuang, but also the people of more than ten cities and pools to the east will be like a great enemy, who dares to open the city gate to greet you? Pitting people is easy, making people convinced, but it is a very difficult thing. If King Xiang really killed the people of The Outer Yellow, the next step of conquering the world would be difficult to do, such an uneconomical thing, why would the King do it? ”
After repeatedly pondering and carefully weighing the words of this young man, Xiang Yu's eyes were stunned, and after repeatedly pondering and carefully weighing the words of this young man, he decided to follow his "advice", retract his life, and pardon those people who were originally ready to be buried alive. Yes, why should such a decision, which has only disadvantages and no benefits, be so reckless? And the result also confirmed the child's words, Xiang Yu issued a pardon order, and after the leader continued the eastern expedition, the counties along the way heard that King Xiang was kind to the people, and they really rushed to join them.
A stinking child, not to mention how miraculous it was for him to persuade Xiang Yu to change such a major military decision, just the process of bravely breaking into the military camp and facing Xiang Yu directly, all required extraordinary courage and courage, which showed that he not only had wisdom, but also was very brave.
