Origin and Story of 杀敌致果
During the Spring and Autumn period, the State of Zheng, obeying the command of the King of Chu, dispatched Prince Gui to attack the State of Song. The Song army suffered a crushing defeat, and their general, Hua Yuan, was captured.
In the midst of the battle, a Song soldier named Kuang Jiao fought with great courage, yet also possessed a kind heart. He attempted to rescue a Zheng soldier but, in doing so, was himself captured. The people of Song criticized Kuang Jiao, saying he had brought misfortune upon himself. They believed that in warfare, one should 'kill the enemy and achieve decisive results' (杀敌致果) and not show mercy.
