When was the first war in the history of China?

The first recorded war in the history of China was the battle for deer before the Battle of Hanquan. Before the battle between deer and deer, there should be a battle between Shennong and axe, but there is no detailed record in the history books. About 4,600 years ago, Huangdi tribe fought against Yan Di tribe and Chiyou tribe in Dongyi group in Zhuoxian county (now Zhuozhou) of Hebei province. The purpose of the war is to fight for the Central Plains suitable for nomadism and shallow farming, which is called "the battle of competing deer" in history. In the middle and late period of primitive society, three groups, Huaxia, Dongyi and Miaoman, gradually formed. Among them, Huaxia Group takes Huangdi and Yan Di as the core. They rose in Guanzhong Plain, Southwest Shanxi and West Henan respectively. After integration, it developed along the north bank of the Yellow River to the west of North China Plain. At the same time, Jiuyi tribe (a branch of Dongyi Group), which rose in the lower reaches of the Yellow River at the junction of Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu and Anhui, also developed from east to west and began to enter the North China Plain under the leadership of its famous leader Chiyou. In this way, an armed conflict between Huaxia Group and Dongyi Group is inevitable. The battle of Zhuolu broke out under this historical background. It is said that Chiyou people are good at using weapons, their bronze weapons are excellent and solid, and the people are brave and good at fighting. After entering North China, they first confronted the Yan Di tribe. The Chiyou people joined forces with the giant Kuafu tribe and Sanmiao, defeated the Yan Di people by force, and then occupied the "Nine Corners" where Yan Di people lived, namely "Kyushu". In order to survive, the Yan Di people turned to the Huangdi people of the same clan for help. In order to safeguard the overall interests of Huaxia Group, Huangdi clan agreed to the request of Yan Di clan and pushed its power to the east. In this way, the Chiyou people who pushed northwest met in Zhuolu area. At that time, Chiyou people gathered 8 1 branch (72 families), which occupied some advantages in strength. Therefore, after the contact between the two sides, the Chiyou people took the initiative to attack the Huangdi people relying on the conditions of large number and excellent weapons. The Yellow Emperor clan is headed by totems such as bear, wolf, leopard, eagle, dragon and owl. To fight against Chiyou, let the "Ying Long high water level", that is, build an earth dam on the river to store water, in order to stop Chiyou's attack. After the "war" broke out, it coincided with dense fog and stormy weather, which was very suitable for Chiyou people from the rainy environment in the east to launch military operations. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Huangdi clan, which was suitable for fighting in sunny days, was at a disadvantage. Nine wars were defeated (nine is an imaginary number, described as many times). However, before long, the rainy season passed and the weather cleared up, which provided an important opportunity for the Huangdi family to turn defeat into victory. With the support of the Xuan Nv clan, the Huangdi clan mastered the fighter plane and launched a counterattack against the Chiyou clan. Taking advantage of the special favorable weather-strong winds, dusty skies, blowing horns, beating gongs and drums, and taking advantage of the confusion and shock of the Chiyou nationality, the southern guide car was used to point out the direction, which led the masses to attack the Chiyou nationality, and finally defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, and captured and killed its leader in the wild of Jizhou (now Jizhou, Hebei Province). The battle of Zhuolu ended in the victory of the Huangdi nationality. After the war, the Huangdi clan moved eastward, arrived near Mount Tai, held a ceremony to seal Mount Tai and returned home in triumph. At the same time, "order a young and upright Sima bird master", that is, choose a young and upright patriarch in Dongyi Group to continue to lead Jiuyi people and force Dongyi Group to form an alliance with its own Huaxia Group. The battle of Zhuolu effectively laid the foundation for Huaxia Group to occupy the vast Central Plains, and played a catalytic role in further integrating various clans and tribes. Huangdi, the tribal leader who won the war, became the same clan of the Chinese nation and was gradually deified. The battle of Zhuolu is a historic "war" for our Chinese nation to decide the basic face of the future.
