He speculated that around that time, the two countries of Yu'an, each with a neighboring country, conspired to sow discord between the two countries of Chen and Qi.
The Yu Kingdom and the An Kingdom disguised themselves as allies, but in reality, they instigated war between the Chen and Qi Kingdoms, causing them to fight each other and deplete their military strength.
