Plot
During the Spring and Autumn period in ancient China, the four great clans in the Qi state compete among themselves to win a dominant position in politics. Despite the animosity between their respective fathers, Sun Wu and Guo Wujiu develop a close friendship, and they are tutored in military strategy by the renowned militarist Tian Rangju. Meanwhile, in the Chu state, Wu Zixu becomes a fugitive after his father is wrongly accused of treason and his entire family is exterminated by the incompetent King Ping of Chu. Wu Zixu settles in the Wu state with help from Sun Wu and Wujiu.
Tragically, the situation in Qi deteriorates to the point of armed conflict, when the Sun clan massacres the Guo and Gao clans overnight in a military coup. Wujiu escapes from Qi and since then he sees Sun Wu as a bitter rival and sworn enemy. Wujiu settles in the Chu state and becomes a general. On the other hand, Sun Wu is devastated by the sudden twist of events and wanders around until he finally settles in the Wu state. Through Wu Zixu, Sun Wu is introduced to King Helü of Wu, who puts him in charge of Wu's military. Sun Wu begins his illustrious career by writing The Art of War and displaying his genius in leading the Wu forces to victory in battles against rival states.
