Chapter 1042: The Empty Fort Strategy

When the Sacred Dynasty was declining, many clans established their own countries and fought against each other.

In the Chu Kingdom, after his brother, King Wen of Chu, died, Prime Minister Gongzi Yuan greatly desired the beautiful Lady Wen.

He tried various methods to please her, but Lady Wen remained indifferent.

Thus, Gongzi Yuan sought to establish great achievements and display his capabilities to win Lady Wen's favor.

In a certain year of the Sacred Dynasty, Gongzi Yuan personally led 600 chariots in a mighty expedition against the Zheng Kingdom.

The Chu army conquered several cities along the way, pressing towards the capital of Zheng Kingdom.

The national strength of Zheng was weak, and its capital was particularly short on troops, unable to withstand the Chu army's assault.
