And the Fifth Prince of Chu, Xiong Tingshan, fifteen years ago, which was the year he came of age, was assigned by the Chu Emperor to govern in Wutong County, located in the northwest of Great Chu.
Wutong County corresponded to one of the last stubborn strongholds of the Shanyue in Chu, even the hardest bone to crack.
However, Xiong Tingshan is very capable and adept; he does not carry the airs of a prince. On one hand, he has maintained excellent relations with the stationed military in Wutong County; on the other hand, he treats the Shanyue tribal chief there as a brother. Eventually, he married a Shanyue maiden as his primary wife.
The hardest bone of Great Chu softened under his touch. The details could be talked about for three days and nights; in conclusion, Xiong Tingshan spent fifteen years consolidating Wutong County and surrounding Shanyue tribes, transforming himself into a bond that tied them together, making an immense contribution to the stability of Chu.
