Idiom story

In the spring and Autumn period, when the state of Chu defeated the state of song, the general Zizhong took credit and asked the king of Chu to award two places in the north to him. The minister Shen Gong and Wu Chen strongly opposed, but the king of Chu did not agree to Zizhong's request. The other minister wanted to marry the beautiful Xia Ji, but the witch minister said that Xia Ji had a bad life and could not marry her. Later, however, the witch minister married Xia Ji and fled to the state of Jin with her. In this way, Zizhong and Zifan hated the sorcerer very much. In order to get revenge, zichong and Zifan killed the witch minister's family and divided up their property and wives and concubines. After learning the news, the sorcerer sent a letter to Zizhong and Zifan. The letter said, "you two bad guys, how hateful! I will tell you to run and die of exhaustion! (the original text says: "I will make you stop running for life and die." in order to fulfill his promise, Wu Chen brought some chariots and soldiers to the backward state of Wu to help the Wu army train to drive and shoot arrows. Under the training of the witches, the army of Wu became stronger and stronger. So the Wu army constantly sent troops to attack the vassal states in the east of Chu one by one and incorporated them into the territory of Wu. In this way, urgent documents often spread to the capital of Chu. Every time the king of Chu received the urgent documents, he always sent Zizhong and Zifan to the rescue. They had just returned from a war, but they had not yet got a rest. They were ordered to send troops to pacify another war. In one year, they led the army to and fro, and they were exhausted as many as seven times. The sorcerer achieved the goal of revenge.
