3Duke Huan of Qi attacked Chu,
occurred in 637 BC.
"Han Feizi·The Foreign Crown's Talks on the Top Left"
[Original Text] Cai's daughter is the wife of Duke Huan. Duke Huan rides a boat with her, and his wife roams the boat. Duke Huan is very afraid and keeps her from banning her, so she comes out in anger. Then he summoned him again and married him again. Duke Huan was furious and was about to attack Cai. Zhong's father advised, "The play of sleeping and seating is not enough to attack a country of people. The achievements cannot be expected. Please do not use this as a reminder." Duke Huan refused to listen. Zhong's father said, "It is necessary that the Chu Jingmao did not pay tribute to the emperor for three years. It is better to raise troops to attack Chu for the emperor. Chu was immigrant, and then attacked Cai, saying, "I am the emperor to attack Chu, but Cai did not obey the army, so he destroyed it. This is based on fame and benefits the reality, so there must be a reputation for punishing the emperor and a reality of revenge."
[Translation] The daughter of Mr. Cai is the wife of Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Huan and his wife were on a boat together. The lady shook the boat. Duke Huan was very scared and stopped her, but she didn't stop. Duke Huan abandoned her angrily. Later, Duke Huan wanted to recall her again, but Cai Guo then remarried her. Duke Huan was very angry and prepared to attack Cai State. Guan Zhong advised him: "For a joke between husband and wife, it is not worthy of attacking other countries. Since you cannot expect to establish any achievements, please don't care about this matter." Duke Huan refused to listen to his advice. Guan Zhong said: "If you have to, Chu State has not paid tribute to Zhou Dynasty for three years. You might as well raise an army to attack Chu State for the emperor. Chu Opera obeyed, and then returned to attack Cai State, saying, 'I will attack Chu State for the emperor, but you will not lead the army to obey orders and assist.' Then you will destroy it. This is nominally just and is actually beneficial, so there will definitely be a name for striking the emperor, and at the same time it will have the effect of revenge."
Bismarck said: The truth is within the range of the cannon.
