The strongest young general in the Spring and Autumn Period, a fifteen-year-old enemy of the Jin Dynasty, only took 600 people to kill tens of thousands of enemy troops

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou royal family declined, and the various princely states often attacked each other for their own selfish interests, and as a result, the large countries often annexed small countries, which eventually led to a situation in which the stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin state in the Central Plains was huge, and the Chu state in the south was rising day by day, and the two great powers inevitably had a "passionate collision" in order to compete for hegemony. In the Battle of Chengpu in Jinchu, a fifteen-year-old boy of the State of Chu showed his heroic qualities, single-handedly attacked the generals of the Jin State, and led people to rescue many soldiers of the State of Chu from tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, and defeated tens of thousands of Jin soldiers. This man can be called the strongest young general in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In 632 BC, a battle for supremacy broke out between the Jin and Chu states, the Battle of Chengpu. The Battle of Chengpu was a famous battle in China's history, and the entire battle ended in the disastrous defeat of the Chu State, and the Jin Wengong also became one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period through the victory of this war. At that time, the State of Chu mobilized more than 40,000 people to attack the State of Jin, and the State of Jin also dispatched an army of more than 30,000 people; the lineup of generals sent by both sides was also very luxurious: the Marshal of the State of Jin was the first to be the first, and the generals were Zhao Wan, Luan Zhi, Xu Chen, and Qi Qi; the Marshal of the State of Chu was Cheng Dechen, and the generals were Dou Yue Jiao, Dou Bo, and Dou Yishen. These are all famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period, each with high martial arts and amazing combat effectiveness. It is worth mentioning that Cheng Daxin, the son of Chu Shuai Chengdechen, also went out with the army and became one of the few bright spots in the Chu army.

At that time, Cheng Daxin was only fifteen years old and had no fame, but he inherited the bravery of his father Cheng Dechen and his combat effectiveness was bursting. Cheng Daxin's hand made a Fang Tian painting sword, with the courage of ten thousand men, and at the same time, the courage was superior. After the Jin-Chu war, Jin Wengong adopted the strategic principle of "retreating and retreating", and the soldiers retreated ninety miles. Jin Wengong's move not only repaid the favor of the Chu state in that year, but also used the strategy of arrogant soldiers, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone. The Commander of the Jin Dynasty, Xianxun, then also pushed the boat along the water, deliberately letting the Jin army lose in order to lure the Chu army deeper, and set up an ambush to prepare to defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop. As a result, the Chu commander Cheng Dechen, who was bent on winning, really ventured into greed and failed miserably. At the critical moment, Cheng Daxin, the son of Cheng Dechen, stepped forward and saved the Chu army and saved a lot of losses.

It is said that Cheng Daxin went out with the army, and only brought six hundred of his own soldiers to the battle, and became famous in the first battle. After the first deception was defeated, Cheng Dechen ordered the whole army to take advantage of the victory and pursue. Fifteen-year-old Cheng Daxin took the lead with a painting halberd in his hand, and the Jin general Qi concealed his young age and was very contemptuous, and took the knife and went straight to Cheng Daxin. Qi Fu was a native of the Jin Dynasty, and was also a fierce general second only to the brave generals Luan Zhi and Xu Chenchu. Qi Secret thought that he could easily solve the problem of a big heart with one sword, and as a result, the two played twenty rounds without winning or losing. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were not yet many examples of young generals who could draw with the fierce generals of the enemy country like the fifteen-year-old Cheng Daxin, which showed that Cheng Daxin's bravery and fierceness could be called the strongest young general in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Chu general Dou Yue Pepper took the opportunity to shoot off Qi Qi's helmet with one more arrow, and then shot down the Jin army's flag. The Jin army was suddenly in chaos, and Cheng Dechen and others led the whole army to chase after the Jin army.

In this way, the Chu army fell into the ambush circle designed by the ancestors, and the Chu army that fell into the giant pit collapsed in an instant, and the whole picture was unbearable. More than 30,000 Jin soldiers joined forces to annihilate the left and right armies of the Chu state. Cheng Dechen, Dou Yuejiao, and the Chu army fell into a scuffle, because the Chu army was very passive, so the situation was unfavorable to the Chu army, and the breakthrough became the only way out for the Chu army. However, a breakthrough is easier said than done, and the Chu army surrounded by the enemy does not want to rush out and easily break out of the siege. At the critical moment, fifteen-year-old Cheng Daxin stood up. According to the 40th and 41st chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, "The young general became a big heart and a painting, and he was haunted, leading six hundred clan soldiers, all of whom were a hundred, protecting his father and subjects, and desperately trying to break out of the siege." Don't see the bucket more pepper, turn over and kill... The two of them worked together to make a place, each of them exerted great strength, rescued many Chu troops, and broke out of the siege. A few words described cheng daxin's bravery to the fullest.

At that time, the Chu army was divided into several parts and was in a chaotic situation. The more than 30,000 Jin soldiers belonged to the siege and waited for work. In this case, a fifteen-year-old young general successfully broke through with only 600 people, not only rescued his father Cheng Dechen, but also killed the enemy again to save Douyue Pepper, and later the two joined forces to save a lot of Chu troops. According to historical records, after this war, more than 40,000 Chu troops lost about 30 percent, preserving 60% or 70% of their strength. In other words, instead of Cheng Daxin's several fights and fights, the Chu army's casualties would have been more.

Under the circumstances at that time, Cheng Daxin took six hundred people and killed in and out of tens of thousands of Jin troops, not only came and went freely, but also successfully rescued many Chu troops and Chu generals, which shows Cheng Daxin's extraordinary courage and extremely strong combat effectiveness.

It can be assumed that when the morale of our army was low, coupled with the fact that it fell into the trap of tens of thousands of enemies, and at the same time there were only six hundred people on our side; it was difficult to successfully break through in the face of this unfavorable situation, let alone save people. This kind of intractable problem is difficult for even famous generals to solve, but a fifteen-year-old young general Cheng Daxin has done it, which shows that his heroism is extraordinary. It is not difficult to imagine that Cheng Daxin at that time was like Zhao Zilong of Changshanpo, leading six hundred people under his command to rush to tens of thousands of Jin soldiers without hesitation, and wielding the painting blade in his hand to kill tens of thousands of enemies scattered and fleeing, which saved the trapped Chu soldiers and Chu generals.

Although the Battle of Chengpu ended in a crushing defeat for the Chu army, Cheng Daxin's performance surprised both sides and should not be forgotten. Fifteen-year-old Cheng Daxin was able to defeat the jin general, and only took 600 people to kill tens of thousands of enemy troops, rescued his own soldiers, and was called the strongest young general in the Spring and Autumn Period.
