In a certain sense, the state of Liang could also be considered a benefactor to the countries of Chu, Su, and the Southsea.
But neither side acknowledges it, nor do they consider it to be the case.
However, since the sixth year of Hongdao, when Liang and Yue made peace, the Liang state, which didn't gain much from the South, began to focus its main energy from the South to the Northeast region of Qingzhou territory within some small countries.
Especially since five years ago, the Liang state has dispatched five hundred thousand troops to invade the Lai state in the northeast of Qingzhou.
Lai state claims to have a population of one million, and it has two counties, with three hundred thousand valiant troops. There are three Inborn Grandmasters in the country, and it is a solid powerhouse in the territory of Qingzhou.
From the apparent strength, it is actually stronger than the Chu state before annexing Qianzhong County.
