Wu Yue's Struggle for Hegemony

Sit down and eat courage, keep a low profile, defeat the strong with the weak, and turn things around. Beauty traps, bitter flesh traps, alienation schemes, continuous schemes, demoralizing one's aspirations, emptying one's body, emptying one's warehouse. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, princes fought for hegemony and the weak preyed on the strong, leaving the people in dire straits. At that time, the state of Wu had risen in the south. In order to seek hegemony, King Fu Chai of Wu was conquering from all sides. The state of Yue was the backyard of Wu and was the first to bear the brunt. After several battles, it was in danger... In order to protect the foundation of the state of Yue and to make a comeback, the doctor Fan Li cleverly proposed the strategy of "suffering hardships" to restore the country. King Gou Jian of Yue endured humiliation and took risks to seek peace... Gou Jian entered Wu and became a slave. While he was "loyal" to serve the king of Wu, he was thinking hard about how to escape. Faced with "catch and release Cao", there were endless debates inside and outside the Wu court. Gou Jian used his superhuman intelligence to escape life and death disasters one after another, and finally returned to the country of Yue after surviving the catastrophe... After the war, the country of Yue was in need of prosperity. With the help of Fan Li and Wen Zhong, Gou Jian kept a low profile and worked hard to govern. In the face of the powerful Wu, they resorted to tricks: sending beautiful Xi Shi away, losing her ambition and weakening her body; alienating the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, cutting off his arms and beheading his hands; paying tribute to his treasures in exchange for grain, filling his palace and emptying his warehouses. All preparations were in full swing... Ten years later, the King of Wu raised his troops to attack Qi, and the Yue State took advantage of the opportunity to capture the capital of Wu. Just as they were about to return to the capital, they were annihilated by three thousand Yue Jia. noodle
