In ancient history, the Yellow Emperor had two major wars, one was the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor and the Great War of Xuan you, which everyone was more familiar with, and there was also a war, that is, the Battle of Hanquan, the Battle of Hanquan, in which the Yellow Emperor surrendered to the Yan Emperor. Of course, there was also a great war in their later life, and the descendants of the Yellow Emperor's grandson Huan Huan and yan emperor worked together.
According to historical records, Fuxi Nuwa was a husband and wife, giving birth to a child Shaodian, Shaodian was born in a matriarchal society that was married, and gave birth to a child, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, so the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were half-brothers. The Yellow Emperor was the leader of the Xiong clan in the patrilineal society, and the Yan Emperor was the leader of the Shennong clan in the matrilineal society. (Another theory is that the name of the tribe is changed, not a specific person)
Because the two tribes were related by marriage, Yanhuang established a tribal alliance, with The Yan Emperor as the main one and the Yellow Emperor second. Emperor Yan and Emperor Xuanyou clashed first, Xuan You repeatedly attacked, Emperor Yan repeatedly lost battles, and finally had to unite with the Yellow Emperor to kill Xuan You.
In the war against foreign invasions, The Yan Emperor gradually lost his authority, and the Yellow Emperor won the trust of the tribes with his wisdom and courage in the war, and with the army he led defeated Xuan You, establishing an unrivaled authority.
Since ancient times, it was difficult for a country to tolerate two kings, and the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem at that time was still war. Obviously, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor also evolved to the point where water and fire were incompatible.
About 4,500 years ago, in Hanquan, China, a large-scale war broke out that would determine life and death. Since the two tribes involved in the war were very powerful, the scale of the war was quite spectacular. It is said that after three fierce battles, the Yellow Emperor took control of the overall situation.
The Yellow Emperor's side is becoming more and more powerful: the vanguard of the bear, wolf, leopard, cat, and tiger tribes, with eagles, eagles, eagles, and kites as banners. At this time, there were many tribes that submitted to the Yellow Emperor.
Emperor Yan had already felt the invisible threat of the Yellow Emperor, so before the Yellow Emperor could breathe, he launched a general attack on him, wanting to attack him unprepared, defeating him invisibly, defeating the Yellow Emperor in one fell swoop, in order to release the long-accumulated resentment in his chest, and to wash away the shame of defeat in the battle with Xuan You and restore the majesty of the past. So they preemptively attacked and besieged with fire, causing smoke to billow outside Xuanyuan City and cover the sky.
The Yellow Emperor did not expect that his brothers would also kill him, and immediately ordered Ying Long to fight and extinguish the flames with water, so he ordered his soldiers to drive Emperor Yan back to the valley of Hanquan, and ordered his subordinates to fight with Emperor Yan only and not to harm his life.
In the Hanquan River Valley, the Yellow Emperor erected seven large banners and opened the Seven Flags of The Star Dou Battle Method. After the defeat of the Yandi Fire Battle, in the face of the Seven Banners of The Star Dou Battle Method, there was no way to do anything, so he hurried back to the camp and did not dare to provoke.
Remembering his brotherhood and admiring Emperor Yan's medicine and farming techniques, the Yellow Emperor decided to join hands with him to create a civilized nation. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor ordered that only the troops be trained outside the Yandi camp, and not take the initiative to attack, and the ever-changing formations appeared in an endless stream, which made the soldiers of the Yandi emperor look dazzling.
Suddenly, three years had passed, and the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Emperor's various departments had become more powerful, and Emperor Yan could only use the cliff head as a barrier to wait and see the position.
Unexpectedly, the Yellow Emperor laid out a big picture in these three years. He used the Xingdou Seven Banners Tactics and many other formations as a cover, and on the other hand, he sent soldiers to dig day and night, and in three years, he had already dug the cave to the rear of the Yandi camp.
On this day, the Yellow Emperor's soldiers suddenly sneaked out, sneaked into the YanDi camp, and captured the Yandi alive. This battle made Yan Di lose his heart and bow to the wind. Willing to help the Yellow Emperor burn barren land and govern his homeland.
The Battle of Hanquan was another major battle after the Yellow Emperor defeated the Jiuli clan and quelled the rebellion. It is of great significance to opening up the history of Chinese civilization and realizing the first great unification of the Chinese nation.
There are three theories about the succession of the two wars, the Battle of Zhuolu and the Battle of Hanquan:
The first theory is found in the Book of Yi zhou and the taste of wheat, in which Xuan You expelled Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan sued the Yellow Emperor, and the second emperor joined forces to kill Yu Yu in Zhongji;
The second theory is found in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Great Wilderness Of the North Classic, where Xuan You made a soldier to attack the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor ordered Ying Long to fight, and the two sides fought in the wilderness of Jizhou, and Xuan You's soldiers were defeated and killed!
The first theory is found in the "History of the Five Emperors", after the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor in the Battle of Hanquan, Xuan You rebelled, and the Yellow Emperor defeated Xuan You in the Battle of Zhuolu;
