How did Zhuangzi get Chu Zhuangwang to give up attacking Vietnam?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was an idea of attacking Yue, but Zhuangzi successfully dissuaded him. Zhuangzi's persuasion method is actually very simple. He first asked the reason for the attack on crossing the river, and then told the situation of Yue State and Chu State, so that he really realized that the weak Yue State in his eyes was actually similar to the strength of Chu State, so he gave up attacking Yue State.

First of all, when he decided to send troops to attack Yue, Zhuangzi did not directly dissuade him, but simply asked a question, which Zhuangzi asked? Your Majesty, what is the reason why you want to attack the state of Yue? ? Chu Zhuangwang said? Now there is civil strife in Vietnam, and it is the best time to attack Vietnam at this time. ?

After listening to this, Zhuangzi just said:? People's eyes can see far away, and some people can even see things hundreds of meters away, but there is one thing that they can't see at hand. ? Chu Zhuangwang quickly asked what it was, and Zhuangzi replied? Your own eyelashes. ?

Zhuangzi went on to say? The reason why the king thinks that the state of Yue can attack is that the military strength of the state of Yue is weak, and now there is civil strife, which is a good opportunity to attack. But don't forget, your majesty, when Chu is at war with other countries, it is often defeated, so Chu has lost a lot of land, which shows that Chu's military strength is actually very weak, and you only see the civil strife in Yue. At present, there are many ministers in Chu, and the society in Chu is unstable. What's the difference between this and Yue? ?

Chu Zhuangwang listened to Zhuangzi's words and felt that what Zhuangzi said was very reasonable, so he gave up attacking Yue, began to ask Zhuangzi how to improve his military strength, and then began to train the army, gradually solving the internal contradictions of Chu. Zhuangzi's persuasion this time is not only very effective, but also a model of persuasion in history.
