Wei Shun 魏順 pursued King Qingxiang of Chu 楚頃襄王 (r. 298-263) to participate in an alliance against Qin 秦. He used the city of Shiqiu 市丘 as a instrument to menace the king. If he would not command the army of the allied, the troops would have to plunder Shiqiu. The King conceded, and Wei Shun was highly rewarded by the governor of Shiqiu.
