In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is written that Kong Ming, in order to conquer Southern Man with virtue, repeatedly captured Meng Yu and released him. After Kong Ming released Meng Yu for the sixth time, Meng Yu was still not convinced, so he borrowed troops from the state of Wuge and wanted to fight a decisive battle with Kong Ming, and the lord of the state of Wu Ge, Wu Tuyan, raised the strength of the whole country and personally led 30,000 tengjia soldiers to declare war on Kong Ming.
Kong Ming, as the broken vine armor army, led the vine armor army into the valley, and a fire burned the thirty thousand vine armor army to ashes. Kong Ming was heartbroken when he saw that the 30,000-strong tengjia army had been completely destroyed, and he tearfully said, "Although I have contributed to the society, I will definitely lose my life."
In fact, before Kong Ming burned the Tengjia Army, he also burned the Cao Army three times, and the Cao Army even reached 300,000 at that time.
Let's comb through the experience of Kong Ming's three burnings of Cao Jun:
The first time was to burn Bowangpo, this time Kong Ming burned Xiahou Huan and Yu Ban's 100,000 troops. Kong Ming had just been appointed as a military division, but he had not done anything, and this great war made the soldiers of Liu Bei's military camp trust Kong Ming and laid the foundation for Kong Ming's command.
The second time was the burning of Xinye, at that time, Cao's army pressed the border, Liu Bei withdrew from Xinye, but Kong Ming did not intend to leave Xinye in vain, so cao Cao's pioneer Cao Ren led a large army into Xinye, and when he spent the night in the homestay, Kong Ming prepared in advance and burned the homestay, causing serious losses to the Cao army.
The third time, it was the famous fire burning of Chibi. Kong Ming borrowed the East Wind for Zhou Yu and watched across the shore from Liu Bei as Zhou Yu burned the Cao Army.
These three fires made Kong Ming famous. From then on, Kong Ming talked and laughed and was full of pride.
So, why was Kong Ming's face fearless when he burned the Cao Army?
First of all, Kong Ming's three fires were all Cao Jun, his own enemies, and Kong Ming burned Cao Jun in order to eliminate the rebels and support the Han Chamber.
Secondly, this was the first attack of the Cao Army, and what Kong Ming carried out was only passive resistance, a battle of self-defense, so the burning of the Cao Army, Kong Ming was not ashamed.
Then, when Kong Ming burned the Fuji Jia Army, he said, "It will damage Yang Shou", why is this?
The rattan armor worn by the rattan armor army is made by using tree vines to repeatedly soak in oil and exposure, which is not only light, but also invincible, does not sink in the water, and is invincible on the battlefield.
At first, Wei Yan led his army to confront the Tengjia army, but he was defeated and retreated. Zhuge Liang then thought of a plan to burn, led the Tengjia army into the valley, blocked the exit, and the Shu army poured oil down to ignite the fire, Zhuge Liang personally saw that the Tengjia soldiers were burned, and many were killed by random stones. In the end, all 30,000 vine armor soldiers died in the valley.
In fact, these tengjia soldiers also belonged to the people of the Shu kingdom, and Kong Ming went out to conquer Meng, just to pacify the south and burn his subjects, Kong Ming was of course heartbroken.
As mentioned earlier, the king of the Ugo Kingdom raised the strength of the whole country to help Meng Yue, and these 30,000 vine armor armies accounted for a large part of the people of the Ugo Country, and this time Kong Ming annihilated them all, leaving no living mouth.
More importantly, Kong Ming personally watched these 30,000 people die, all of them had fathers and wives, they were all living people, but they lost their lives at his own hands, and Zhuge Liang certainly couldn't bear it.
Moreover, this war, unlike the war of the Cao Army, was a forced war of resistance, but this time it was an offensive initiative, not a just war.
Therefore, Kong Ming burned the 30 sides of the Cao Army without fear, but the burning of the Vine Armor Army said that "yangshou will be damaged", mainly because the burning of the Vine Armor Army was an attack launched by Zhuge Liang on his own initiative, the method used was very cruel, the result was also very tragic, and more importantly, these Vine Armor soldiers were the people of the Shu State.
We all know that this is a superstitious statement, and we do not know whether it has damaged Kong Ming's life.
