In 5 12 BC (twenty-three years), Sun Wu took thirteen articles of The Art of War to see the prince of Wu under the repeated recommendation of Wu Zixu, a counselor.
When answering the prince's question, Sun Wu's comments were shocking, and his insights were unique and profound, which caused the prince who was bent on dominating the country to praise Sun Wu deeply, praised Sun Wu's insights repeatedly, and asked Sun Wu to take 180 ladies-in-waiting to practice the array and test Sun Wu's military talents face to face, so he appointed Sun Wu as a guest star of the general.
In 506 BC (14th week), the war began. Sun Wu commanded Wu Jun to attack from 30,000 miles away and go deep into the great powers. Five wars and five wins, which went straight to the capital of Chu, created a miracle in China's military history and made great contributions to Wu Li.
