Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, the state of Xing was invaded by the Di people from the north. Xing sought help from the state of Qi.
Guan Zhong, the prime minister, immediately reported this to Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Huan was somewhat hesitant.
Guan Zhong said, "We cannot ignore the descendants of Duke Zhou. If a state becomes immersed in comfort and pleasure, it is like drinking a deadly poison."
Duke Huan then decided to send troops to rescue Xing.
