Later because of civil war in the Ba Kingdom, in order to put down the rebellion he was sent to the Kingdom of Chu to beg military assistance. Chu demanded three Ba cities as forfeit. Once Chu's troops had helped restore stability to Ba, the King of Chu demanded the payoff. Ba Manzi, however, said: 'Though I promised Chu the cities you will take my head instead in thanks to the King of Chu, for the cities of Ba cannot be given away'.
