Chonger replied: "If you can use your blessings to return to Jin, then if Jin and Chu Xingbing fight, we will I will retreat ninety miles to avoid you. If you still can't get your understanding, then I will deal with you again." General Ziyu of the Chu State asked the King of Chu to kill him. He is polite, and his followers are respectful, generous, loyal and powerful. He should be the one who revitalizes the state of Jin in the future. God will help him, and who can abandon him.
