The King of Chu, Xiong Biao, has been very tense lately. He neither hopes for Qin Country to win the war against Shu Country, nor dares to pray for Shu Country's victory... It's a rather contradictory state that has left him barely able to sleep well for even a night.
There's no helping it. The Great Tang Empire has taken a fancy to Chu Country's Nanshan Port, hoping to swap some territories of Shu Country for this largest port city of Chu Country.
Listen, listen! Is that even reasonable? Exchanging Chu Country's land with a third-party country's territory, and the Tang Empire wouldn't have to pay anything at all.
Chu Country itself doesn't want to make the exchange, after all, Nanshan Port is the largest port of Chu Country, and it even has a pipeline that connects directly to the oil production region. Such an important port, Chu Country is not willing to give up easily. Indeed, this is one of the richest regions in Chu Country; they are reluctant to trade it away.
