Life of the characters
Build a country by closing the territory
His great father Xiong Wenyi died very early. Xiong Yi's grandfather Xiong Li and father Xiong Kuang also served King Wu, the son of King Wen of Zhou. When King Cheng of Zhou, the son of King Wu of Zhou, was in power, he was deeply moved by the great achievements of the ministers in assisting the government during the period of King Wen and King Wu of Zhou, so he promoted their descendants and granted Xiong Yi, the great grandson of Xiong, a title of Viscount with only 50 li of land in the southern wilderness. He established the political power of Chu and lived in Danyang.

He waded across mountains and rivers to serve the emperor of Zhou. He could only use peach bow and jujube arrow as tribute.
Assist King Kang
During the reign of King Kang of Zhou, Xiong Yi assisted King Kang of Zhou together with the monarch of Qi, Duke Ding of Qi, Duke Kang of Wei, Duke Xie of Jin, and Prince Boqin of Lu.
