The War of Annihilation Caused by the Lamb Pot: 羊斟惭羹

The Story of Yang Zhen's Revenge

There are many strange historical events, and today I will tell you about a historical tragedy caused by not eating mutton stew.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, General Hua Yuan of the Song Kingdom held a grand feast to boost the morale of his soldiers before the battle. Little did he know that he forgot about an important person – his charioteer, Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen, a humble and quiet figure, was responsible for driving the war chariot and providing support to Hua Yuan in his expeditions. He rarely spoke but was meticulous in fulfilling his duties.

As the feast went on, Yang Zhen silently watched everything from a corner of the tent. He saw the soldiers enjoying the lamb meat, heard their laughter and cheers, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of disappointment and dissatisfaction.

As the banquet continued, Yang Zhen's mood grew heavier. In his heart, he silently thought, "I fight alongside the general on the battlefield, yet I couldn't even taste a piece of lamb meat."

When the feast ended, he quietly left with a face filled with resentment and grievance.

That night, Yang Zhen tossed and turned on his crude bed, his mind filled with various thoughts. He recalled every battle he had fought alongside Hua Yuan, every moment of driving the war chariot into the charge. However, at this moment, those memories were overshadowed by a feeling of being ignored and forgotten.

Gradually, anger and thoughts of revenge filled Yang Zhen's heart, and he made a decision – the next day, he would make Hua Yuan pay the price.

Revenge in Action

On the second day, the conflict between the Song Kingdom and the Zheng Kingdom intensified on the battlefield.

As the sun rose in the east, its rays pierced through the clouds, illuminating the dusty battlefield. The sound of war drums thundered, resonating like lightning in the hearts of every soldier, fueling their determination to fight.

General Hua Yuan, clad in armor, sat upright on his war chariot, gripping his spear tightly. Confidence and determination shone in his eyes as he stared ahead, ready for the decisive battle. His war chariot tore through the battlefield like a ferocious beast, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

Yang Zhen, as his charioteer, silently controlled the war chariot, driving the iron-clad warhorse. His gaze was deep, as if searching for something amidst the smoke and dust of the battlefield.

With the reins firmly in his hands, he steered the war chariot with stability, but his eyes hid complex emotions.

The soldiers around them, spurred on by the war drums, swung their weapons and charged valiantly. Amidst the flashes of blades and shields, soldiers either advanced bravely or fell in pools of blood.

Every corner of the battlefield was a test of life and death, each charge filled with tension and danger.

The armies of the two kingdoms clashed at the center of the battlefield, the sound of clashing armor and swords, the meeting of blades and shields, forming the main melody of this war. Screams, shouts, and cries intertwined, painting a grim and spectacular picture of warfare.

In this life and death moment, General Hua Yuan and Yang Zhen, the master and servant on the battlefield, faced an uncertain fate together.

But in this critical moment, a complex emotion brewed silently in Yang Zhen's heart, preparing to erupt and change the fate of the entire battlefield.

On the battlefield, General Hua Yuan commanded with precision, his war chariot charging forward like a bolt of lightning.

At a turning point in the war, Yang Zhen decisively changed the direction of the war chariot, steering it towards a completely different path.

Hua Yuan immediately sensed that something was wrong. The war chariot was heading away from the center of the battlefield. He questioned Yang Zhen with astonishment and confusion, "Yang Zhen, what are you doing?" His voice was filled with surprise and disbelief.

Yang Zhen's reply was calm yet resolute, with a hint of indifference, "General, you forgot to appreciate the most deserving person."

In this short exchange, Yang Zhen's tone carried resentment and determination, as if expressing long-suppressed dissatisfaction.

In the blink of an eye, the war chariot entered the heart of the Zheng Kingdom's camp.

Hua Yuan found himself quickly surrounded by enemy soldiers. His sword seemed dull under the setting sun. A mix of shock and disbelief flashed in his eyes; he never expected to be captured in such a situation.

The news of General Hua Yuan's capture shocked the entire Song Kingdom. The soldiers panicked, losing their composure. The orderly formation crumbled, and many soldiers ran around like headless flies. The Zheng Kingdom soldiers took advantage of the chaos, launching a massive attack that left the Song Kingdom army in despair.

This unexpected turn of events plunged the Song Kingdom's army into chaos, preventing them from mounting an effective counterattack and ultimately leading to their defeat. The capture of General Hua Yuan not only marked a turning point in his personal fate but also became a tragic.
