Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, Wu Zixu, whose father and elder brother were killed by King Ping of Chu, fled to the State of Wu.
He told King Helü of Wu that in Chu, right and wrong were indistinguishable, good and bad were inversed, and people were a mixed lot, like fish and dragons. He incited King Helü to attack Chu.
Wu Zixu led the army to five victories, eventually reaching Yingdu, the capital of Chu. King Ping of Chu had already died, but to avenge his father's death, Wu Zixu exhumed the king's corpse and flogged it.
