But would he just watch the other party slowly grow their strength?
That's a joke.
How foolish would Shen Qiu have to be to give up this opportunity and let Chu State continue expanding their strength?
At this moment, he had already begun plotting that six years later, during the time when Chu State was bleeding continuously due to being stuck in the southwestern Miao territories, he would use a thunderous force to destroy them, directly reclaiming the three prefectures of Chu State and taking over their efforts to expand into the west.
With the size of Chu State, it would be quite difficult to expand into the southwest.
However, after Ning Country destroyed Chu State, it would be much simpler and easier to do so.
"At that time, I will not only exterminate Chu State but also follow the example of past dynasties, to open one or two prefectures in the southwest for the descendants of my three emperors."
