[Explanation]: It refers to the peace treaty of submission that is forced to be signed when the enemy soldiers are approaching the city. [Idiom Story]: The country of Jiao was a small country in the Spring and Autumn Period, in the northwest of Yunxian County, Hubei Province.

At that time, the powerful state of Chu was its close neighbor. According to the "Twelfth Year of the Duke of Huan", there was a time when the Chu State invaded the Hangguo State and concentrated its forces to attack the south gate of the capital of the Hangguo State.

The people of the country resolutely defend and strictly defend it. The Chu army couldn't attack it for a while.

"Mo Ao" (the official name of the state of Chu) Qu Fang said: "The people of the country are rash and lack of strategy, we can use the method of deception to lure them out of the city." Let our men go to collect firewood, and deliberately do not send soldiers to protect them, they will definitely come out and arrest them when they see them. "The generals who lead the troops, do according to the plan.

The people of the Hangguo really came out, and they arrested 30 people from the Chu State at once. The next day, the people of the Hangguo were even more bold, vying to go out of the city from the north gate one after another, and chased the Chu people who went to the mountains to catch firewood.

The Chu army set up an ambush in the mountains in advance, and at this time, they blocked the north gate on the one hand, and ambushed the troops on the other hand, and defeated the Hangguo country.

So the forced hanging country was concluded

"The Alliance of the Castle".

The "alliance under the city" refers to a humiliating treaty that a defeated country is forced to conclude under the serious threat of the enemy's presence under the city (or the overwhelming of a large army).

There is also a story in "Zuo Chuan: The Fifteenth Year of Xuan Gong" that records the story of the Chu State attacking the Song State (in present-day Shangqiu County, Henan).

Words like "the alliance under the city". At that time, the Song Kingdom was heavily surrounded by the Chu army. The Song people in the city had neither food to eat nor firewood to burn, and they were very panicked.

So he sent Hua Yuan to sneak into the camp of Zi Gan, the main general of the Chu army, and said to Zi Jian in a very tough tone: "Our monarch told me to tell you clearly: We have reached the point where we have run out of food and firewood. But if you think that you can force us to make an alliance with the city and put us to death, you will never be able to do it! ......" Zi saw that Hua Yuan was so powerful, and immediately agreed to withdraw the troops, negotiate on an equal footing, and form a friendly alliance.
