Background: The Central Plains has been plagued by constant disputes and wars since ancient times. Since the peasant hero Zhao Dian cut his teeth in the uprising, he has conquered some areas one after another. After the faint leader was forced to hang himself by the people, the people supported Zhao Dian as the leader, and the country was named Li, which was called Zhao Li in history. The Li Dynasty became more and more powerful starting from Zhao Dian, but by the seventh generation of Zhao Li, it was no longer strong and showed a trend of decline. By the time of the tenth generation of Zhao Dynasty, he was obsessed with female music, and all the power in the court was dominated by the prime minister. Soon after, the princes of various fiefdoms proclaimed themselves kings one after another with the slogan of "killing thieves and serving the king diligently", and raised troops to punish the thieves. In the end, soldiers and horses from various countries surrounded the palace, and the prime minister was sentenced to death by splitting a chariot. Although the title of Zhao and the monarch was retained, it actually existed in name only. A few years later, countries became ambitious and invaded each other to expand their territories, and no one paid tribute to the DPRK anymore. Mo Yu, a highly regarded eunuch around the monarch, imprisoned Zhao Ji in Zhao Ji's palace and starved him to death. He wanted to take advantage of the conflict between the countries and raised troops to seek the throne. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out and Li Guo led a conference of several countries to form a temporary alliance to jointly kill Mo Yu, the eunuch. As a result, the countries united again as they had done a few years ago. In the end, the eunuch Mo Yu was executed in the street in a horrific manner.
In the following years, the battles between various countries continued. In the end, most of the territory in the east was occupied by the Li State, the west by the Cheng State, the south by the Xiang State, and the north by the Liang State. Several small states remained in the central and remote areas.
Thus, the prelude to another battle for hegemony began
