Thousands of years ago, many clans and tribes lived in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins in China. Among them, the Yellow Emperor is one of the most famous tribal leaders in the Yellow River Basin.
Collar. Another famous tribal leader is called Emperor Yan. There is a branch of Yan Di tribe, Jiuli people. Their leader is Chiyou. He is very strong. Chiyou has eighty-one brothers, all of whom have bronze heads and iron arms. They are good at making weapons such as knives and crossbows. On one occasion, there was a conflict between the Huangdi tribe and the Yan Di tribe. The Yellow Emperor won and Yan Di surrendered, but the Jiuli tribe refused to surrender with Yan Di. The Yellow Emperor then joined forces with tribal leaders to launch a decisive battle with Chiyou in the land of Zhuolu, which is the famous "Zhuolu Battle". At the beginning of the war, Chiyou won victories again and again with excellent weapons and brave soldiers. Later, the Yellow Emperor invited dragons and other strange beasts to help. Although Chiyou's soldiers were brave, they couldn't resist the Yellow Emperor's army and this group of beasts and fled one after another.
Out of the fog
The Yellow Emperor led the troops to win the battle, and suddenly it was dark, with thick fog, strong wind, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain, so the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor could not continue to catch up. It turned out that Chiyou invited "Fengbo" and "Rain Master" to help. Not to be outdone, the Yellow Emperor invited the "angry girl" in the sky to help dispel the wind and rain. In a flash, the wind stopped raining, and the sky was clear in Wan Li. Chiyou also created a fog with witchcraft, which made the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor lose their way. The Yellow Emperor used the phenomenon that the Big Dipper always points to the north in the sky to build a "south guide car" to guide soldiers out of the fog.
Take Chiyou alive.
After many fierce battles, the Yellow Emperor killed 81 Chiyou brothers, and finally captured Chiyou alive. The Yellow Emperor ordered Chiyou to be shackled and then put to death. Afraid of causing trouble after Chiyou's death, he buried his head and body in two far places. The shackles worn by Chiyou were thrown on the barren hills and turned into maple forests. Every flaming maple leaf is covered with the blood of Chiyou. After the death of Chiyou, his brave image is still frightening. The Yellow Emperor painted his image on the military flag to encourage his troops to fight bravely and intimidate the tribes who dared to fight with him. Later, the Yellow Emperor was supported by many tribes and gradually became the leader of each tribe.
