Topics other than the courage to pay: the mourning soldier will win, the proud soldier will lose

In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the world was in chaos. There were two countries in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River: Wu and Yue. In the 30 years of grievances and disputes between the two countries, there is a famous story of "Let's Take the Courage". Today, let's talk about topics other than this story: the mourning soldier will win, the arrogant soldier will lose.

More than two thousand years ago, the country was weak and the country of Wu was strong, and the country of Wu wanted to annex Yue. , To expand its own territory, to relieve the worries of the other countries. Therefore, relying on the elite soldiers and the support of the grandson of the military strategist, they sent troops to attack the Yue State. At this time, the Yue State has a few major generals, and the victory or defeat is expected. However, the young King of Yue Goujian worshiped Fan Li as a military commander and tried to defeat Wu Jun. King Wu was seriously injured and died. Before he died, he ordered his son Tian Chai to avenge him. ‘

Following the succession, vowed to destroy Vietnam. With the assistance of Minister Wu Zixu, troops were sent to attack the Yue State. The two armies fought in Kuaiji, and Yue State was defeated. King Goujian of Yue surrendered to King Wu and was willing to take his wife to work as a slave in the country of Wu. Wang Fuchai ignored the opposition of his officials and agreed to Goujian's request. Goujian, the king of Yue, became a slave to the country of Wu and suffered humiliation from the world. King Wu was unsuspecting him and let Goujian return to his country three years later.

After Gou Jian returned to China, he mobilized the people to develop production, while training the army, and rewarding birth to increase the population. In order to always keep in mind the hatred of the country and the family, at night I sleep on the firewood with a sword on my head, and I have to taste bitter gall before every meal. Through more than 20 years of hard work, the Yue country has gradually become stronger. During this period, King Wu made great efforts in civil engineering in the country, and the state was gradually weakened. He lived a life of arrogance, luxury, drunkenness, dreams and death. He was extravagant and did not put Yue Guo in his eyes.

In 473 BC, the King of Yue Goujian led 30,000 soldiers to launch a surprise attack to encircle the capital city of Wu. King Wu had no food and no rescuers. Seeing that the situation was gone, he had to commit suicide.

The battle between the two armies of Wu and Yue proved the truth of "the mourning soldier must win, and the proud soldier must lose".
