Huang chi Meng hui

On June 5th, 482 BC, Lu Aigong, the king of Lu State, and Jin Dinggong, the king of Jin State, dated Fu Cha in Huangchi (now southwest of fengqiu county, Henan Province) and held an accession ceremony. Fu Cha is very excited, because Lu and Jin are old vassal states, and they are quite influential among them. Now the other party invited him to join the alliance, which is of great benefit to Wu's position in the eyes of the princes.

So he mobilized the elite soldiers available in China, and his real armor set off for Huangchi with a clear vision. When Gou Jian learned the news, he secretly assembled 30,000 elite soldiers at the border of wuyue, ready to use the elite of Wu Jun. When Gusu was left with only weak and defeated soldiers, he attacked the capital of Wu with lightning speed.

Fuxi, Lu Aigong and Jin Dinggong stood side by side on the viewing platform and reviewed the three armed forces. Wu Jun is doing its best, and its momentum is like a rainbow. Wherever Focha goes, the soldiers of the three armed forces will cheer in unison. Lu and Jin are deeply afraid of this. Focha is full of ambition. Hunting with the second male yielded a lot. The second duke praised him and said, "If you really go to Kyle to run the army, you can dismount and run the country." Focha heard the highest evaluation of himself in his life and suddenly felt that he was soaring.

Two months later, Fu Cha's Shuaijun returned to Wu, and Gusu City was empty. Fu Cha, the king of Wu, had the ambition to compete for the hegemony of the Central Plains in the north after conquering the Yue people. But the land of wuyue is densely covered with rivers and mountains, and the people are used to water wars, with many steps and few cavalry. Moreover, this country is located in the southeast. If you go north to dominate, the road is long, the soldiers are tired, and the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. In order to facilitate the action of the water army and transport troops and grain, Fu Cha spared no effort to dig the "Hangou" canal connecting the two major water systems in Jianghuai.

In the seventh year of Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, Fu Cha heard that Qi was in favor with his ministers, and the new king was lonely and weak, so he joined forces with Lu, Yong, Yong and other countries in the northern expedition to Qi. The allied soldiers were divided into two roads, one led by Fu Cha, starting from Yishui, and then turning to land to attack the southern border of Qi; On the other hand, Dr. Wu's program led the sailors down the Huaihe River, eastward into the sea, and attacked Qi from the sea, which formed a potential blow to Qi.

However, after all, Qi successfully resolved the attack of Wu with its vast territory and powerful forces. After the failure of cutting Qi, Fu Cha did not give up. In ten years, he sent all the elite soldiers from nine counties, attacked Qi with Lu, and fought against Qi in Yiling, which greatly weakened Qi. Qi Jiangong had to form an alliance with Fu Cha at the gate.

From then on, Fu Cha no longer saved its national strength, but shared the interest with the people. Instead, he ignored the admonition and the Vietnamese position and gave the gift to a virtuous minister. He recruited again and led tens of thousands of soldiers. In fourteen years, he trudged nearly two thousand miles from the north by water to Huangchi, where the four kingdoms of Song, Wei, Zheng and Jin met the princes of Jin and Lu.

Afraid of Wu's military power, Fu Cha was regarded as the leader, which was called "Huang Chi Meng Hui" in history. At this point, Fu Cha finally realized his father's long-cherished wish to dominate the Central Plains. However, his long-term unrestrained foreign war made the people's livelihood of the State of Wu languish and the soldiers' armor tired, which also laid the groundwork for the downfall of the State of Wu in the future.
