The king of Qi wanted to attack the state of Wei. Chunyu Kun said to him, "Han Zilu is the fastest dog in the world, while Dong Guokun is one of the most cunning rabbits in the world. Han Zilu chased Dongguo Qun, followed Lianhuan mountain for three times, and ran over the mountain for five times. The rabbits in front of him were exhausted, and the dogs behind him were exhausted. Everyone couldn't run any more. They fell to the ground and died. An old farmer saw them and picked them up without any difficulty. In the same way, if Qi and Wei failed to fight each other, the soldiers and people on both sides would be exhausted, and the officials worried that the two powerful enemies of Qin and Chu would attack us in order to win the benefits of the farmers.
