Idioms and allusions

In the spring and Autumn period, Chong'er, the prince of Jin State, was framed by his stepmother and forced to flee the country. It was not until 19 years later, with the help of some people, that he returned to the state of Jin and became the king of Jin. He was one of the famous five tyrants in the spring and Autumn Period in history, the Duke Wen of Jin. Duke Wen of Jin had experienced many hardships and understood the sufferings of the people. As soon as he was in power, he began to make great efforts to govern the country and implemented many laws beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood, making the state of Jin strong day by day. at that time, it was the time when the vassals were in a dispute, and the vassals were also the strong and the weak, and the winner was the king. Because of its strong military and strength, Chu controlled some small countries around it and became the overlord of the Central Plains. Jin Wengong was very dissatisfied with this and decided to challenge Chu's hegemony. In 632 BC. Duke Wen of Jin personally led the army to attack Cao and Wei, two small states attached to Chu. the king of Chu was king Cheng of Chu. When he heard the news, he sent General Ziyu to rescue Cao and Wei. General Ziyu did not pay attention to the Jin army, and was not ready to fight a tough battle psychologically, so he led the army to set out. King Cheng of Chu was very worried about this. He was afraid that Ziyu would be defeated by the enemy because he despised the enemy. So as soon as Ziyu left, King Cheng of Chu wrote to Ziyu and warned him seriously in the letter: "Duke Wen of Jin had been in exile for 19 years, experienced countless difficulties and hardships, had rich experience, knew the hatred of the people, and had a lot of experience in how to rule the country and how to command the army . Therefore, your opponent is quite strong, you must not despise him, otherwise, it will lead to complete failure After receiving the letter from King Cheng of Chu, Ziyu still didn't pay attention to it. When the two armies faced each other, because he underestimated the enemy excessively, his army was beaten by the Jin army. At this time, he was too late to repent.
