Goujian is no stranger to the story. The ancestor of Goujian was even the famous Dayu. Dayu later became a generation of kings because of his merits in water control. Therefore, he sealed his youngest son to govern Kuaiji, which is equivalent to the current governor of a province. This Kuaiji developed well, so it grew up in the late Spring and Autumn Period and became a country. This is the country of Yue.
When Goujian just ascended the throne, the next door, Wu Wanghelu, because of his bravery and skillful battle, defeated the Kingdom of Chu and dominated the South. The kingdoms of Wu and Yue had grievances as early as King Zhou Jing, and they were rivals, so King Helu of Wu sent troops to attack the kingdom of Yue. It is a pity that Wu Wanghelu not only lost the game, but also took his own life because of the arrow.
After Wu Wang Helu passed away, Wu Wang Fu Cha succeeded. In order to avenge his father, Wang Fuchai drilled his soldiers and horses day and night, and continued to grow stronger. Three years later, after Gou Jian heard of this, he wanted to preemptively attack Wu. Fan Li objected, but Goujin refused to listen, but was defeated and surrendered for peace.
Gou Jian sent the type of literature to seek peace. The type of literature was performed in tears and showed the surrender at King Wu Fucha. King Wu was moved and just wanted to agree, but was stopped by Wu Zixu. This summation failed.
The first time he failed to seek peace, Fan Li and Wenzhou quickly thought about countermeasures, and finally grasped the weakness of Wu Wang's lust. For the survival of Yue, the most famous woman in the Spring and Autumn Period officially appeared. This woman is Xi Shi, the head of the four beauties in ancient China.
When King Wu saw Xi Shi, his soul was hooked away, and he finally ignored Wu Zixu's advice and agreed to ask for peace. But at that time, Fucha was not very mediocre, so he stayed in Goujian as a slave in the country of Wu.
Goujian suffered all the insults during his stay in the State of Wu. He endured it and sought a chance to escape. In the end, when Fucha had diarrhea, Goujian used the feces of Taste Fucha to tell that the diarrhea was just ordinary diarrhea, and it would soon be cured. After gaining the trust of Fu Cha, Gou Jian returned to China two years later.
After Goujian returned to China, in order not to forget the hardship and humiliation he suffered in the country of Wu, he put up bitterness in the place to eat, and replaced the sleeping mat with firewood. This is the widely circulated "salary and guilty".
In order to get revenge, Goujian, in addition to "should pay and try the courage," is to seek national development wholeheartedly, and the country becomes stronger and stronger.
Later, Wu Zixu was killed. Gou Jian felt that the time had come to destroy Wu, so he hurriedly sent troops to break the capital city of Wu in one fell swoop. Even after a few years, Fu Cha was desperate and committed suicide.
After the demise of the State of Wu, Goujian led the army to cross the Huaihe River and marched into the Central Plains angrily.
