It is stated in Ssu-ma Ch`ien's history that Sun Wu was a native of the Ch`i State, and employed by Wu; and that in the reign of Ho Lu he crushed Ch`u, entered Ying, and was a great general.
For the men of Wu and the men of Yueh are enemies; yet if they are crossing a river in the same boat and are caught by a storm, they will come to each other's assistance just as the left hand helps the right.
The two states, Ch`u and Wu, had been constantly at war for over half a century[31], whereas the first war between Wu and Yueh was waged only in 510[32], and even then was no more than a short interlude sandwiched in the midst of the fierce struggle with Ch`u.

On the other hand, it is noteworthy that WU TZU, which is not in 6 chapters, has 48 assigned to it in the HAN CHIH.
With Wu Yuan himself the case is just the reverse: — a spurious treatise on war has been fathered on him simply because he was a great general.
