In the history of war, four wars were seriously exaggerated by later generations, and Yuan Chonghuan and Ningyuan were seriously mythologized.

The history of China is a chaotic war cycle, with an average of 15 years. In the long-term war-torn environment, a large number of famous soldiers who can be good at fighting were born.

But in ancient times, many wars were seriously exaggerated, even turned black and white, boasting a great defeat into a great victory.

First, Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition.

The background of Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition was that the second Zhu Rong monopolized power, which killed the imperial clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and six town uprisings broke out in the north, resulting in national chaos.

Taking advantage of the Northern Expedition, Liang Wudi ordered Chen Qingzhi to escort Yuan Hao to the north and proclaimed himself emperor, and established a small regime attached to the Liang Dynasty. At that time, there were signs of chaos in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and 360,000 troops were mobilized to counter the rebellion in the north. However, there are only100000 troops left in Luoyang, which is far from the 300000 Wei Jun mentioned in the biographies of Liang Shu and Chen Qingzhi. It is indeed a legend that Chen Qingzhi fought thousands of miles with thousands of troops, but it was also accomplished by using the emptiness of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Yuan Hao's imperial clan appeal.

Second, Ran Min was careless.

Ran Min has always been regarded as a great hero to save the Han nationality, and even created a mythical record.

In the first battle, 3,000 cavalry attacked the Huns at night and beheaded 30,000; Fight again with five thousand cavalry to break Hu and ride seventy thousand; In World War III, 70,000 Han troops defeated more than 300,000 Hu Lianjun; In World War IV, ten thousand people beheaded Hu Shou40,000; In the Fifth World War, 60,000 Han troops of the whole nation joined forces with more than 100,000 Qiang and Bian. In the sixth battle, there were less than 10,000 enemy troops, 140,000 Xianbei fighters, and 10 battles were won.

Among the six great feats, the battle of Yecheng defeated Zhao Jun by 70,000; In the battle of Cangting, Zhao Jun beheaded 28,000; Yecheng guards fought 7,000 battles, defeated Zhao 70,000 and cut more than 30,000. These three battles did happen, and the other three battles were all from the internet, without any historical records. But most historical books sympathize with Ran Min.

Three, the battle of Li Shimin tiger fastened shut.

At the end of Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin led 3,500 cavalry to defeat Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's/kloc-0,000,000 troops, and captured two kings alive in World War I. ..

In the history of war, although there are many examples of fighting in which fewer people win more, the authenticity of the battle of tiger fastened shut is debatable. Even the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty does not record the forces of both sides, and the Book of the New Tang Dynasty contains only a few sentences.

In fact, in Hulao Pass, there are many terraces, and there are few flats. It is difficult to transport grain and grass, it is difficult to find a flat ground to camp, and there is no place for hundreds of military forces to station.

Four, Yuan Chonghuan Ningyuan triumph and Ningjin triumph.

In the battle of Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan retreated to Ningyuan City with heavy troops in his hand, and retreated Nuerhachi's attack with strong shelling. However, due to Yuan Chonghuan's failure to stick to it, the nearby logistics base Juehua Island was captured by the Houjin army, and more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians on the island were slaughtered, and tens of thousands of stones and ships were looted.

In the battle of Ningjin, Yuan Chonghuan retreated to Ningyuan again without moving a single soldier. After the war in Ningyuan, 20 fortresses outside the customs, which cost 5 million taels of silver and took 18 months to build, were all abandoned in just a few days, and all the food and materials worth 1 million taels of silver were handed over to the late Jin army.

Yuan Chonghuan is known as the "Great Wall at the end of Ming Dynasty", and many people blame Chongzhen's unjust death of Yuan Chonghuan for entering the customs in Qing Dynasty. However, under the command of Yuan Chonghuan, Ningyuan victory and Ningjin victory were seriously flooded and even defeated.
