熊负刍 / 楚王负刍 / Xiong Fuchu
熊负刍 / 楚王负刍 enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》114-1｜今天聊聊 嬴政都有哪些残忍手段 as the older half-brother who replaces 熊昊 / 熊犹 / 楚哀王 after 楚幽王 dies. The episode says Fuchu’s faction launches the coup before the newly installed ruler can stabilize power.
The source does not yet develop Fuchu’s reign. His wiki role here is the coup endpoint of a late Chu succession chain: after the 黄歇 / 春申君 and 李源妹妹 branch already compromised the throne’s legitimacy, another royal relative can use factional violence to redirect the line.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》118-1｜王翦率六十万大军 对战项燕！好戏开场了！ gives Fuchu’s endpoint in the conquest sequence. After 王翦 and 蒙武 defeat 项燕’s main force, the source says they capture Fuchu in 223 BCE while 昌平君 dies, making Fuchu the captured ruler at Chu’s terminal defeat.
Qinji 118-2 adds a genealogy role. The host cites traditions that make Fuchu another son of 楚考烈王, using him alongside Xiong Qi / 昌平君 to challenge the claim that Mi Wan had no sons. The same episode narrates Wang Jian’s sequence as Chenying first, then 寿春 and Fuchu’s capture, before the last Changping Jun and Xiang Yan resistance is crushed.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》120-1｜谁是皇帝中的妈宝男？ reuses Chu’s final defeat in Qin’s post-unification narrative. Qin’s story presents Chu as breaking covenant and attacking 南郡, so the campaign against Chu can be framed as response rather than expansion. This page records the claim as 兼并自卫叙事, separate from the campaign and genealogy notes above.
