The state of Wu was so strong in the late Spring and Autumn period, why was it wiped out by the stat

In 482 BC, the Huangchi Alliance, Wu became the overlord of the world, but only nine years later, in 473 BC, Wu was destroyed by the Yue State, and bid farewell to the historical stage. The speed and shortness of the time from the peak to the end of this fall are staggering, but also the reason for this is incomprehensible. <>

First of all, the death of Wu Zixu, the most critical figure in Wu State, made Wu State's defense of Yue State completely collapse, and also gave Yue State a strategic opportunity to "surprise" Wu State. In fact, before the Huangchi Alliance, Yue Guo had already had an opportunity, and during this time, Fucha had also gone north to meet the Alliance many times, but Yue Guo had been forbearing, waiting for the best opportunity. This time the opportunity finally came, in order to participate in the Huangchi Alliance and become the leader of the alliance, Fucha led most of the main force of the Wu army north to the Central Plains, leaving only the prince and 10,000 old and weak soldiers to stay in the national capital Gusu City.

After hearing this news, the "Iron Triangle" of the Yue State Gou Jian, Fan Li, and Wen Chong immediately began to plan, and when the main force of the Wu army completely left and stayed in Huangchi, they decisively seized the fighter plane and attacked Wu from June of that year. <>

Secondly, after the defeat of the Yue Kingdom at the hands of the Wu State in 494 BC, it was once devastated to a radius of only a hundred miles, and the population was greatly reduced, so that the Yue King encouraged fertility at any cost. In this way, relying on the outbreak of blood sales and foreign sponsorship, the Yue State completed the impossible and destroyed the powerful Wu State. In just 12 years, Gou Jian has an additional 50,000 troops, "2,000 Xiliu, 40,000 priests, 6,000 gentlemen, and 1,000 princes", including idle people and diners from various countries.

In this way, relying on the outbreak of blood sales, foreign sponsorship, and a protracted war that lasted for 9 years, the Yue State completed the impossible and destroyed the powerful Wu State. <>

Wu Zixu, a staunch "southern faction", died due to political mistakes, and his carelessness in Yue gave the country an opportunity; Economically, it was devastated by the battle of Gusu; Militarily, the main force was destroyed by the Battle of Kasazawa; Diplomatically, he was isolated because he made too many enemies, and in general, he lost the initiative and gradually became passive, which cannot be reversed in a short time.

Because Wu Guo did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he stopped when he could completely eliminate Yue Guo, so that Yue had a chance to breathe. Subsequently, King Wu did not directly kill Goujian, the king of Yue, until Goujian lay down and tasted his courage, and this courage was able to lead Yue to destroy Wu.

Wu Wangfu sent the benevolence of the woman and gave up the opportunity to completely eliminate the Yue Kingdom, which was an important reason for its demise. On the other hand, Wu Wangfucha focused on competing for hegemony with the Central Plains powers, which led to the emptiness of the rear and caused the fatigue of the soldiers, which was also an important reason why Wu was wiped out by the Yue State.

Because the geographical location of Wu is extremely bad, and it is very close to Yue Guo, it was slowly consumed by Yue Guo.

After the Yue Kingdom destroyed the Wu Kingdom, the main characters: Wen Zhong, Fan Li, Xi Shi, Gou Jian's ending 1, Xi Shi: After the destruction of the Wu Kingdom, Xi Shi was sent to the harem of the Yue Kingdom by Gou Jian, two theories, one is that Fan Li persuaded the queen and let Xi Shi go, and since then Xi Shi and Fan Li have lived a happy life.

The other is that the queen was jealous of Xi Shi's beauty, sank Xi Shi into the river, and killed Xi Shi. Historically, literati and writers are willing to believe in the first ending, thinking that Xi Shi had an affair with Fan Li before entering the harem of Wu, but it doesn't make sense in reason, Wu Wangfu is not shrewd, if he brings a big green hat, how can he not be clear. Therefore, Fan Li and Xi Shi are innocent, Fan Li was also afraid of the pursuit of King Yue before escaping, it is impossible to bring Xi Shi, and there is no need to bring Xi Shi, Xi Shi's final outcome is likely to be sunk into the river by the queen.

The reason why the ancient literati and writers believed in the first ending was out of good considerations, and they couldn't bear to let the beauty of Xi Shi mix into the mud.

2, Fan Li, Wen Zhong: When Fan Li became famous, he left the king of Yue, (it is said to carry Xi Shi boating on the lake) and finally became a rich merchant in the pottery land, with fair trading, and the business strategy of small profits and quick turnover, he was kind to others, and became the "Tao Zhu Gong" of the rich party, and was respected as the god of literature and wealth by later generations. It is said that before Fan Li left, he sent Wen Zhong a letter, which said, "The bird flies away, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the dog is cooked."

asked Wen Zhong to leave in time, but Wen Zhong did not listen, and was later killed by King Goujian.

3. Gou Jian: After Gou Jian destroyed the Wu State, he annexed a large amount of land in the Wu State and returned the land annexed by the Wu State to the original owner. Deeply praised by the vassal states, its own strength, defeated the overlord Wu State, and then demoted from the "Yue Wang" to the "Yue Duke" to dominate the princes.

Since Gou Jian, his descendants have not done much, and when a descendant with "deeds" invaded the Chu State, he was destroyed by the Chu State.

In the end, it was annexed by Chu, and in the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, the Jin State was divided by the three families after the Qing Doctor Han, Zhao, and Wei defeated the Zhi Family; The state of Qi was replaced by the Tian family, and the state of Wu and Yue were annexed by the state of Chu, and finally Han, Zhao, Wei, Tian, Qi, and Chu were among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

Xi Shi and Fan Li are together.
