Chapter 556: I have some energy in the Qin Guo!

~2 min read 365 words

Because the front line was fighting, the pace of Su Xuan and others seemed very slow, and Su Xuan had no intention of participating in the war of the State of Chu.

Shouchun City was not the earliest capital of the State of Chu.

Even, the State of Chu had not moved into this capital for many years.

All of this had to start from the last joint vertical alliance of the five Shandong states in the sixth year of King Zheng of Qin.

Following Ying Zheng's succession, Lu Buwei held power, and he continued to adopt the policy of "befriending distant states and attacking neighboring ones." In just five years, he attacked the State of Wei four times, the State of Han three times, and the State of Zhao once. North of the Yellow River, he occupied all of Shangdang County of the State of Han, rebuilt Taiyuan County, cut off the connection between the states of Yan, Zhao, and Wei, Han, and strategically created a flanking encirclement situation against the three states of Zhao, Wei, and Han.

In order to break the unfavorable situation and seek survival, the Shandong states tried their best in the sixth year of King Zheng of Qin to form a joint army of the five states of Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Chu, commanded by the Zhao general Pang Nuan to attack the Qin Guo.

Originally, Lord Xinling was also prepared to participate in this battle.

But the Qin Guo also noticed the actions between the five Shandong states. In the end, it used the power of Luo Wang to assassinate Lord Xinling before the joint vertical alliance. Therefore, this battle did not have the participation of Lord Xinling.

But without Lord Xinling, Lord Chunshen, who was also one of the Four Lords of the Warring States, participated in it.

Lord Chunshen, Huang Xie, was the Lingyin of the State of Chu, and his status was noble. The King of Chu at that time, that is, the father of Lord Changping, King Kaolie of Chu, succeeded to the throne after fleeing from the Qin Guo with his help, so he was highly trusted by the King of Chu.
