In different versions of the "Spring and Autumn Five Powers", Wu Wang Lu, Wu Wang Fu Cha and Yue Wang Gou Jian have all appeared, that is, these three people are the most important monarchs in the history of Wu and Yue, and once dominated the south. Moreover, the relationship between these three people is also relatively close, and it is said that the father and son of Wu Wang Lu and Wu Wang Fu Cha actually died at the hands of Yue Wang. Wu Guo and Yue Guo have been entangled for hundreds of years, and in the hands of these three people, either you destroyed me or I destroyed you, compared to who is more ruthless, and obviously, the hook is more fierce, all wu guo is directly destroyed, Fu Cha also committed suicide, and there is no chance of overturning.
The strength of the State of Wu began with a civil strife in the State of Chu, after the death of King Zhuang of Chu, his son King Chu Gong succeeded to the throne, the King of Chu Was young, and the political affairs were controlled by his uncles, at this time Wu Chen fled the Jin State, and Zi Zhonghe zi destroyed Wu Chen's family and seized their property, and Wu Chen knew about it and vowed to exhaust the Chu State for the rest of his life. Wu Chen suggested to the Jin monarch that the state of Wu be supported in order to cause trouble for the state of Chu. So Wu Chen and his son went to the State of Wu, brought advanced military technology, handed it to the People of the State of Wu to build chariots and taught them how to use chariots, etc., and soon really made the State of Chu tired of running, and the State of Wu was about to attack the State of Chu at every turn, and the State of Chu could not go north without distraction.
But the real strength of the State of Wu began in the period of the Wu King, as early as the period of the Wu King, before the Wu King, there was another famous figure who came to the State of Wu, he was Wu Zixu who had a vendetta against the State of Chu, and Wu Zixu's arrival, like Wu Chen, was to take revenge.
It was Wu Zixu who helped Lu Lu to create the southern hegemony of the State of Wu, and Wu Zixu successively recommended two people to Lu Lu, namely Zhu Zhu and Qiu Yuan, both of whom were assassins like Jing Ke, but the difference was that these two people succeeded in assassination. Zhuan Zhu killed Wu Wangfu, causing Wu Lu to ascend the throne, and to leave and kill Wu Wangfu's son, so that Wu Lu's position as monarch was secured, and later Wu Zixu also recommended Sun Wu to Wu Lu, as well as Bo Zhao, who had defected to Wu Zixu from the Chu state (who later became a key figure in the fall of the Wu state).
With the assistance of Wu Zixu, "establishing a castle, setting up a garrison, laying a garrison, and governing the Hyogo", the State of Wu soon became rich and strong. From 512 BC, the State of Wu attacked the State of Chu, until 506 BC, the State of Wu joined forces with the State of Tang and the State of Cai to attack the State of Chu, and the five attacks were successful, and finally the State of Wu attacked the capital of the State of Chu, and Wu Zixu was able to take revenge, although the enemy was dead.
The fact that the State of Wu was able to invade the capital of a great power such as the State of Chu shocked the world, and the name of Que Lu began to spread among the princes. Two years later, Lu Lu sent his son Fu Cha to attack the State of Chu and forced the State of Chu to move its capital. But such a strong monarch died at the hands of a hooker who was not well known at that time. There has been a continuous war between Wu and Yue, after the death of King Yunchang of Yue, his son Gou Jian succeeded to the throne, Que Lu took the opportunity to attack the Yue Kingdom, was met with a desperate resistance from Gou Jian, and sent a death squad, and finally the Wu army was shocked to the point that it was invincible to the Vietnamese army, and Lu Lu was also cut off by the Doctor of Yue Guo in the battle, which became the last battle of Que Lu, and soon Lu Lu died of this wound.
After Lu Lu's death, Wu Zixu became a trusted and lonely minister, but once the Heavenly Son was a courtier, Fu Cha trusted Bo Zhao more, and there was a lot of snub for Wu Zixu, and many suggestions made by Wu Zixu were taken as a side note. In the Battle of Fujiao in 494 BC, the Wu army occupied HuijiShan, the Yue state was almost destroyed, Gou Jian requested the Yue state to be subordinate to the State of Wu at the suggestion of Fan Li and Wen Zhong, and allowed Gou Jian to come to the State of Wu to serve the King of Wu, Wu Zixu suggested that Fu Cha cut the grass and remove the roots, but Fu Cha gave Gou Jian and the State of Yue a way to live under the advice of Bo Yao, which directly led to the destruction of the later State of Wu.
Wu Zixu's repeated advice was vetoed by Fu Cha, and Bo Zhao's status had long been above Wu Zixu, becoming Fu Cha's favorite vassal and also becoming the umbrella of the Yue Kingdom. In the later period of Gou Jian's lying salary, Fu Cha could not see it at all, he only saw Gou Jian's submission to himself. However, Wu Zixu knew a lot about the movements of the Vietnamese state but could not be used. When Fu Cha decided to go north to attack the State of Qi, Wu Zixu tried to persuade Fu Cha to solve the trouble of yue first, but there was no accident, and Fu Cha rejected Wu Zixu's suggestion. Later, Fu Cha forced Wu Zixu to commit suicide at the suggestion of Bo Yao.
In 482 BC, Fu Cha led almost all of the wu state's army north to make an alliance with the princes at Huangchi, he wanted to be the lord of the alliance, that is, the future overlord, it was in this gap that Gou Jian sent troops to attack the state of Wu and captured Gongziyou, the future heir of the state of Wu, Fu Cha knew that after fearing the impact of the alliance, he covered up the past, but this was only the beginning of the victory of the state of Yue, and the next few major wars ended with the victory of the state of Yue. In 473 BC, the State of Yue captured the State of Wu, and Fu Cha chose to commit suicide.
The defeat of the State of Wu at the hands of the State of Yue was due to many reasons, such as the yue king's collusion of lying on the salary and tasting the guts; for example, the improper use of people by the husband, the pro-Bo Yao and the distant Wu Zixu. Of course, there are other reasons, such as fu cha's belligerence, he is ambitious, he wants to go north to fight for hegemony, in this process did not consider whether the people of wu can afford it and raised troops again and again, which can be described as poor soldiers.
