Immigrants from Chu State

Although Chu looked stronger than Mazhuang at that time, and its territory was vast, in fact, the internal contradictions of Chu at that time were already great, and the contradictions between the high-level officials and nobles of Chu had been going on for a long time. It can be said that the Chu state at this time is actually like a house with a shiny appearance but a very shabby interior, which may collapse at any time. Although Wu was relatively small at that time, it was reasonable to break through Chu, but after all, it was United as one and United as one.

Secondly, the gap between the generals of the two countries is very large. Although Wu was relatively weak at that time, and the number of military forces was not as good as that of Chu, Sun Wu was in charge of Wu at that time. The method used by soldier Sun Wu at that time was guerrilla warfare, that is to say, although the opposite side was stronger, the enemy advanced and I retreated, and the enemy retreated and I advanced, thus avoiding confrontation with the military forces of Chu. In addition, when the two armies confronted each other, Sun Wu constantly sent small troops to harass each other, which also made the other side very tired.

Although Wu's military forces were only in the hinterland of Chu before, Chu itself still had a chance to make a comeback because of its large territory. But at this time, the generals of Chu often have problems. The general was insatiable and aggressive, and Sun Wu seized the opportunity to annihilate him in one fell swoop. Finally, the king of Chu fled the capital directly. After entering the capital of Chu, the soldiers of Wu actually dug up the tomb of King Chu Ping to whip the corpse, which shows that the contradiction between the two countries is actually great and the hatred between the two sides is also great.

In fact, as early as Jin Chu's hegemony, Wu had already appeared at that time. At that time, Wu's water station was particularly fierce, not on land. At that time, in order to contain Chu, the State of Jin went to teach Wu how to fight on land. Of course, Wu's army learned quickly, and later helped Jin contain Chu. Later, Wu became stronger and stronger in the baptism of war.
