If the ruler is unwilling to divide the territory, his own sons will rebel in advance, forcing the ruler to give in!

After all... according to the previous succession system, apart from the crown prince, all the other princes were political sacrifices.

Nobody wants to spend their life subservient to others and miss out on power...

After ten or twenty years, we will have tamed the world.

Jiang Ming could then implement a 'bestowal system,' allowing the Great Gan Kingdom to claim the throne under the guise of 'the virtuous of the people,' and then abdicate in his favor, achieving a successful soft landing and taking over the prize!

Jiang Ming believed that this method was much cheaper and would result in far fewer deaths than becoming the king of Qin and then conquering the other states one by one.

Otherwise, even if he swept across the land and unified the world, the people of the original countries would still hate him for losing their homeland.

However, when their own homeland is "rationally" divided up by the sons of the monarch, each taking a slice of the pie, this rebellious sentiment diminishes considerably...

......

King Xiong Bi of Chu had always wanted to move north and get involved in the power struggles among the states of the Central Plains, but he was constantly suppressed by the state of Jin.

Now that the State of Jin is finished, another clown, Jiang Ming, has emerged, leading a group of barbarians to wreak havoc in the Central Plains...

What's the point of paying taxes?

The great-great-great-great-great-grandfather of the King of Chu never paid a single penny of tax, yet now this tax is being levied on him.

Moreover, the state of Chu was so large not because he was granted the title by the emperor, but because the ancestors of Chu had painstakingly expanded southward and conquered the land...

Now that the emperor wants to reap the benefits, it's not that easy!

So, this guy assembled an army of 500,000, claiming to be 800,000, and marched out of Yan and Ying, determined to fight Jiang Ming to the death!

I heard that the King of Chu mobilized an army of 500,000 and staked his entire fortune on it... Jiang Ming's biological father was overjoyed.

He chose two options.

The King of Chu was impatient and wanted to seize control of the Central Plains to fill the "power vacuum" left by the decline of the State of Jin. He was bound to launch a full-scale attack.

This will definitely lead to a fierce battle with Jiang Ming!

If the King of Chu wins, then the State of Qin will betray the Chu army and annihilate them all in the State of Jin.

If the King of Chu is defeated, or shows signs of defeat, the King of Qin will directly betray his own son, Jiang Ming, and then seize the territory of Jin to fill the power vacuum.

To put it bluntly, the King of Chu was paving the way for the King of Qin!

Jiang Ming, however, had a clear understanding of both sides' intentions and had already formulated corresponding tactical strategies...
