Origin and Story of 暴戾恣睢

During the Spring and Autumn period, Liuxia Village, located at the border of Qi and Lu states, became a source of soldiers for the wars among feudal lords. To evade military conscription, Zhan Zhi organized a force and captured Qiyang City. Later, he also occupied Zeng City, and his force expanded to 9,000 men.

The bureaucrats and aristocrats were terrified upon hearing of him, regarding Zhan Zhi as a thorn in their side. They slandered him as 'Dao Zhi' (Thief Zhi), saying he 'killed innocents daily, ate human flesh, and was cruel and tyrannical, acting without restraint.'
