In the years around 480 B.C., China was in the last phase of the Spring and Autumn Period. Fu Chai, King of the State of Wu, conquered the states of Yue, Lu and Chi one after another. Then Fu Chai, overweeningly ambitious, led his army marching into the Northwest in an attempt to conquer the State of Jin in one vigorous effort.    But just at that time, Gou Jian, king of the State of Yue, outflanked Fu Chai and attacked him in the rear. Gou Jian's army fought one battle after another and arrived in Gu Su, capital of the State of Wu, at last, and took away the big boats of the State of Wu. Gou Jin also sent his troops to occupy the Huai River immediately, thus cutting off Fu Chai's retreat    The shocking news reached Fu Chai, king of the State of Wu, like a head-on blow to him. So he called his civilianofficials and military generals at once to find a way to deal with this serious situation. His civilian officials and military their troops now would mean defeat, and that they would be attacked by both the troops of the Jin army and the troops of the Yue army. But, if they could defeat the State of Jin, u Chai would become a powerful chief of the princes at that time, and it would not be too late for Fu Chai to settle with Gou Jian after that.    Having made this decision,they knew that a pressing matter of the moment was to conquer th State of Jin as quickly as possible. After considering over and over again, they decidedto try to defeat the Jin army by a surprise move.    One day towards evening, the king of the State of Wu gave his orders. The officers and men of the whole army ate their fill, and the steeds were well fed with fodderin the middle phalanx wore white suits of armourwith the case, because the empress would certainly blame him and punish him. How could he solve the problem then? He turned the problem over and over in his mind, and finally thought out a "brilliant scheme".    Lai Junchen had a sumptuousfire all around, and then let the prisoner come into the vat. Will the prisoner fail to make a comfession of his crime?" Hearing this, LaiJunchen nodded his head in approval repeatedly. He then ordered his subordinates to bring a big vat, and had a charcoal fire lit all around it as Zhou Xing had said. He then turned to Zhou Xing and said, "Someone in the rebellion. The empress has ordered me to deal with the case severelystep into the soldiers in the right phalanx wore black suits of armour, and carried black flags and black bows and arrows. The whole army set out at midnight, and arrived at dawn at a place within a LI's distance of the Jin army. When the day was beginning to break, the soldiers of the Wu army began to berat the drums heavily and their shoutings resoundedlike rolls of thunder.    Awakeningfrom their dreams, the solders of the Jin army were almost stupefied by the imposingmanner of the three phalanxes of the Wu army. The white phalanx was like a field covered with flowering rush, the red phalanx was like a burning fire, and the black phalanx was simply like a sea too deep to fathom（看穿，徹底了解）.    This story comes from Comversations from the States.Later generations often use the set phrase "like fire and flowering rush" to refer to tremendous momentum.
