In the spring and Autumn period, Duke Xian of Jin wanted to borrow the road from the state of Yu to attack the state of Guo. At the same time, he sent BMW and valuable gifts to the state of Yu. The king of the state of Yu was greedy for money. Gong Zhiqi, a senior official, dissuaded him and said, "Guo State is a close neighbor of the state of Yu, and its demise will inevitably lead to the demise of the state of Yu." The monarch of the state of Yu did not listen to the advice and promised the Jin army to cross the border. As a result, the state of Jin destroyed the state of Guo and Yu immediately.
