This year, a huge crisis also broke out in the state of Chu. The scale of this crisis, the severity of its consequences, and the extent of its impact are unprecedented in the history of the (previous) Chu state.

It turned out that the state of Chu had destroyed the state of Quan as early as the reign of King Wu of Chu, and it was divided into a county of the state of Chu, and Dou Yi was appointed as the first county prince of the county of Quan. Unwilling to be relegated to the ruins, the remnants of the powerful state tried their best to re-establish power. Later, those people didn't know what tricks they used, and they even dragged Dou Yi into the conspiracy circle.

With the support of Dou Yi, the bereaved families armed their men and announced the restoration of the country. But that rebellion was unsuccessful, and the Chu army again surrounded and captured Quan; Dou Yi was executed for treason, and the people in power were also relocated to that place (eighty miles from Yingbei); King Wu of Chu appointed Yan Ao as the county magistrate.

Twelve years ago (the sixth year of the reign of Lu Zhuang Gong), King Wen of Chu united with the Ba people to attack Shen. During the battle, there was an internal conflict between the coalition forces, and the eldest son of Bazi's guard, Hu, was innocently humiliated by King Wen of Chu, and the Ba people have always held a grudge against it.

Later, Lao Bazi died, and Xiao Bazi ascended the throne. Xinjun is not only Zihu's closest friend, but also elevates the humiliation incident to the level of national dignity for reflection. Therefore, the Ba people decided to take revenge on the Chu State, but because the Chu State was too strong, the Ba people could only temporarily endure this evil breath and patiently look for opportunities.

In the last years of his reign, King Chu Wen began to live in extravagance and degenerate. Peng Zhongshuang considered that he was old, but in a country full of relatives and murderous machines, he was in a jealous high position, so he decided to resign from Ling Yin's position and return to Shen County to enjoy his old age.

On the issue of deciding who will succeed Yin, King Chu Wen really had a headache: Dou Lian was originally the only candidate, but now there is a prince good.

Wang Zishan is the brother of King Chu Wen, and he is a guy who can be said to be reasonable in all aspects except for his character. He slapped the king's ass incessantly, and led him to a high position of prominence and depravity, and now he coveted Ling Yin's sacred position.

Later, at an internal discussion meeting, King Chu Wen, who was already dazed, decided to appoint Prince Shan as Ling Yin. The ministers expressed their opposition, and the rhetoric of the fist was particularly fierce; But no matter how people struggled, King Chu Wen's stubborn head just kept shaking.

Just when the people were generally feeling desperate, the fist suddenly rushed in front of King Chu Wen, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were split, his sword hilt was in his hand, he glared at King Chu Wen and said: "If the king insists on destroying the state of Chu, then let the ministers and the king die together!" In this way, the minister will not see the day when the country will die! ”

King Chu Wen was frightened by the sudden change, but he couldn't show fear, so he said: "Since the doctors have different opinions, Bugu can't make a decision easily, so let's discuss it another day!" As a result, Peng's resignation was rejected, and he must remain in the position until the new Lingyin takes office.

Although the crisis has eased for the time being, people are worried about the fate of Fist, because the crimes he committed are too serious. He was determined to die, and quietly waited for the death warrant of the king of Chu at home, but the king of Chu Wen had no intention of punishing him at all.

Feeling very uneasy, he said: "I threaten the monarch with a weapon, if such a crime cannot be punished, then no one will be afraid of the torture of the Chu State anymore." Then he ordered his retainers to cut off his legs. A person who had been tortured could not be a doctor, so King Wen of Chu had no choice but to appoint him as the chief of the north gate of Yingdu.

In the spring of this year, Pakistan contacted Huang, who was also dissatisfied with Chu, and declared war on Chu. Ba Shi first surrounded that place, which was a small city, the northern gate of Yingdu. The defenses there were not strong enough to resist a strong enemy's attack, but with the right tactics, the defenders could hold out until reinforcements arrived.

The administrator Yan Ao was accustomed to a stable and extravagant life, and he did not expect the catastrophe to come suddenly, and he did not make the slightest resistance in his panic, and shamefully jumped into the water and fled. The Ba division occupied that place, and after a short rest, marched to Yingdu.

You know, Yingdu is a barely defended city: its walls are low, and it is not defended by moats or towers. The Chu people boasted that no national army had ever dared or been able to come to the capital of the Chu State.

But the unexpected loss of that place shattered this myth, and the people of Chu suddenly became in a hurry. The temporarily recruited army hastily joined the battle, and the battle unfolded simultaneously on a long front. The attack of the Ba people was quite fierce, and King Wen of Chu personally stood on the tower of the city to supervise the battle; Peng Zhongshuang gave a death order and would never allow a Pakistani to enter the city.

The battle lasted all day, and the corpses inside and outside the walls were already level with the walls, and both sides stood on the corpses and fought to the death. The people of Chu tried their best to hold the defensive line, and finally did not lose face in the city. The Ba division had no choice but to retreat to the outskirts. At this time, the local armed forces of the Chu State were constantly rushing over, and the Ba people could see the flickering line of fire moving towards Yingdu in the distance when they stood on the nest car. The Pakistani did not dare to camp in the suburbs, so they returned there overnight and withdrew the next day.

When King Wen of Chu heard that Yan Ao was hiding in a small city called Yong, he immediately sent a magistrate to rush over and execute the coward who had escaped from the battle.

The Yan Ao clan had great power in the northern part of the Chu State, and the clansmen were furious at the death of their leader. Although Yan Ao was killed because it was not conducive to fighting against the Ba people, Yan Ao took the initiative to collude with the Ba country to avenge the patriarch in order to take revenge.

In winter, the Ba division was guided all the way south by Yan Ao's armed forces. The invaders and rebels had almost ravaged all the lands in the north of the Chu State.

The Pakistanis did not choose to stop after the great success, but continued to invade southward.
