Back in the day, Lord Jingnan of the North-Pacifying Cavalry borrowed passage through Qian State to attack Jin, and after exiting Qian State, he actually borrowed passage through two smaller countries. Of course, arrangements were made in advance, which later led to Emperor Jin opening Tianmen Pass to let the Yan Army enter Jin.
Liang State was closer to Chu State. The royal bloodline of Chu State could be seen in the original ruler, indicating the inclination of both countries' foundations. However, the coup had already happened, and the original ruler was dead. The new ruler was the original ruler's younger brother but from another mother. Thus, after ascending the throne, he panicked.
He immediately teamed up with the Prime Minister to send envoys to Chu to explain:
First, our coup occurred because the original ruler was too outrageous and immoral, daring even to insult the concubine left by his father, worse than a beast!
