Is there really an exemption card in ancient wars?

We often see war-free cards in novels or TV plays. The role of war-free cards is that the two armies demand a truce from the enemy during wartime, and the enemy will wait for the other side to take off the war-free cards before choosing to attack.

In the legend of Yue, it is said that Hong Yan, the nephew of Jin Wushu, was unusually brave in marbles, and Niu Hao and Zhang Xian under Yue Fei's account were no rivals. In desperation, Yue Fei hung up seven war-free cards and stopped slightly.

Later, Yue Yun felt ashamed, so he played the "no war card" to challenge Hong Yan's golden marbles. In fact, the artifact "war-free card" only exists in the novel romance, and it is not recorded in the official history at all.

If there is likely to be a "war-free card" in history, then the war between benevolence and righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period is more likely. Of course, this is just a guess.

China's war in the Spring and Autumn Period was very principled. If the two sides want to go to war, the first thing to do is to appoint a time and place, and then the two sides will entertain each other's envoys. We can't go to war until the final negotiation is completed.

After the war, the two sides caught each other and killed each other, and it was impossible to win more with less. If one of them is injured, he can choose to withdraw from the battlefield for fifty steps, and the other side cannot pursue it. So people who ran 50 paces at that time could laugh at people who ran 100 paces as timid as rats. A few soldiers who won on the battlefield could not help their friendly forces to strike twice, so they could only watch and cheer.

The most typical war in the Spring and Autumn Period was the rebellion against China in the Song Dynasty. Hua Bao and Gong Zicheng are fighting in a chariot. Warburg responded quickly at that time. He shot at Gongzi Cheng with a bow and arrow, but missed.

When Huabao shot an arrow at Gong Zicheng again, Gong Zicheng said, "It's despicable of you not to let me fight back." As a result, Huabao put down his bow and arrow, waiting for his son to shoot an arrow, and his son hit Huabao with an arrow.

After Huabao's death, another soldier on the chariot, Zhang Zha, got off and attacked Gong Zicheng. The son shot Zhang Zha's leg with an arrow, and then waited for Zhang Zha to strike back. After Zhangzha slowly broke the axle of Childe's chariot, Childe became a hero and shot Zhangzha. And the last soldier on the Warburg chariot also asked the son to shoot himself.

After the Warring States period, the purpose of the war was to win, so various tactics emerged one after another. The superior side will try its best to win, and it is impossible to give the opponent any breathing space because of a war-free card.

The only recorded application of the "war-free card" in history was when Judy launched the battle of Jingnan, but this "war-free card" was a bit special.

At that time, when Judy invaded Jinan in the name of Jun Qing, Shandong Special Envoy Tie Xuan first pretended to surrender to Judy, intending to lure Judy into the city and kill him, but Judy got away with it.

Judy, who escaped, was very angry and ordered the cannon to bombard the walls of Jinan. On the verge of breaking the city, Tie Xuan hung up the "war-free card".

Tiexuan's "no war card" is very special. It is his own portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang's memorial tablet. Therefore, Judy didn't dare to shell the wall of Jinan, but she couldn't break through Jinan and finally chose to retreat.

Throughout the ancient wars in China, the righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period was the most principled, but there was no record of war-free cards. The subsequent war aimed at final victory, with no principles at all. Therefore, the possibility of a war-free card is very small.
