Battle name: Battle of the White Pony

Time of engagement: 506 BC

Leaders of both sides: He Lv, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu.

Strength comparison: 300,000-200,000

War background: Wu Chu and China have been at war for decades. After He Lv acceded to the throne, he adopted Wu Zixu's suggestion, formulated a "strategy of exhausting Chu", and constantly sent small troops to invade Chu for six years, which led to the exhaustion of Chu's national strength and internal emptiness. At this time, He Lv, the king of Wu, thought that the time was ripe, and went deep into the territory of Chu with a circuitous strategy to attack Chu with all his strength.

Reasons for victory: Although the Wu army is small, it is flexible, preemptive and properly commanded. Chu army is tired and depressed.

The influence of the ending: Wu defeated the strong enemy of Chu for many years, giving unprecedented trauma to the long-term hegemony of Chu, thus greatly increasing the prestige of Wu and laying a solid foundation for Wu to further dominate the Central Plains.
