Chapter 10: Political Alliances and Military Alliances
These two factions are known to the world, namely the political alliance headed by the Wenren clan and the military alliance headed by the Dongfang clan.
The two major clans have hundreds of years of history, and they have controlled the government of Wu State side by side for more than a hundred years. They even have a large part of the credit for pulling Wu State from the kingdom of the emperor.
Historians even said that they have mentioned many times that the Tian family replaced the Qi Dynasty and even the Five Hegemons weakened the Zhou Dynasty. However, without military and political power, the only effect of relying on pen and mouth may be to make one's death faster and more ugly.

The Dongfang clan fought with the Wei State 200 years ago and blocked the Wei State to the north of Changshui, thus allowing the Wu State to continue. They had outstanding military achievements, so they were named kings with different surnames. This inheritance has been continued to this day. The wars against the Wei State have been victorious and unsuccessful, but the Wei State
Never crossed the long water again
As a result, the Dongfang clan has effectively controlled the Lion Army for a long time. It is deeply rooted and difficult to shake the world.
"The name of the country is Wu, half of it belongs to the east"; historians joked that "the country of Wu is located in the east" (its geographical location is on the east side of the mainland)
