Chapter 29: Discord

When Xu Mao told Wang Sheng about the strategy, Wang Sheng immediately agreed. Let the spies of the intelligence network in Chu cooperate with Xu Mao. This is also because Xu Mao is a child of the Gong family, otherwise, he would not even know about the intelligence network, let alone let the intelligence network assist.

In order to increase the success rate of this strategy, Wang Sheng deliberately used a Heavenly Mandate artifact [Human Rank Props: Discord Meter]

[Human-level Props: Discord Meter]: After use, you can divide the designated target and increase the chance of betrayal, and the overall qualities of the target character, such as personality and morality, will affect the effect of this prop.

This kind of prop is very ineffective for Guan Zhong or other people who are strong-willed, have high moral standards, and are not unkind, or even unable to work. But for those who are not strong-willed and mercenary, the effect is very good.

Wang Sheng used this divisive strategy against Yingdu Ling Yin, that is, to make Ling Yin betray Chu Hou Xiongtong. Of course, Shen Ju is not strong-willed, and he is not a gentleman with extremely high moral standards, and the effect is very good. As a result, Gongzi Qi just deceived him, and he immediately rebelled.

The energy consumption value of this prop is not high, and the anti-devouring effect is also very low, so it can be said that it is good quality and cheap.

Gongzi Qi falsely claimed that the Chu army was besieged, and with the support of Ling Yin Shenju, he led his soldiers into the palace city, beheaded Xiong Tong's three sons, and soon took control of Yingcheng, the capital of Chu State. Chu Jun Xiongtong killed a large number of nobles at the beginning, and at this time he also began to fight back.

Many of the surviving nobles saw this situation and expressed their support for Gongzi Kai. At the same time, he beheaded those who were loyal to Chu Jun Xiongtong.

Overnight, the entire Yingdu was cleaned, and then Gongzi Qi sent an envoy to close the border and prevent Xiong Tong from returning. At the same time, he also ordered that all the Yiqi tribes who followed Chutong should be exempted from punishment if they surrendered and returned.

At this time, the nobles of the Yingdu of Chu State knew that the Chu army was not surrounded by the Huai State at all, and the Chu Marquis Xiongtong did not die. But by this time, these nobles had already boarded Gongzi Qi's thief ship, and they had no chance to get off the ship.

Chuhou Xiongtong is mean and fierce, since these people have betrayed, once Chuhou Xiongtong returns to Yingdu, he will definitely not let them go, you say that you were deceived by Gongzi Qi? Do you think Xiong Tong will believe it?

In the end, these people had to follow Gongzi Qi all the way to the dark, and they also had to support Gongzi Qi. These nobles can be said to have broken their teeth and swallowed in their stomachs.

Of course, Gongzi Qi was able to succeed, and a large part of this was due to the secret cooperation of the Huaiguo Intelligence Network. On the one hand, he let people spread rumors in Yingdu, and on the other hand, Xu Mao sent people to besiege and kill the messengers of the Chu army. so that the news of the Chu army could not be transmitted back to Yingdu.

It is also because of the secret cooperation of the Huaiguo Intelligence Network that Gongzi Qi's adventure can be successful. Gongzi Qi hated Xiong Tong deeply, and after being lured out of his heart for greed, he made a desperate effort to do something big.

Without the interference of the Huai State Intelligence Network, the changes in the Chu State were quickly transmitted to the front line. The Chu army, which was fighting against Huai, became panicked for a while.

The prince of Chu rebelled, killed Gongzi Lu Gongzi Ran and Gongzi Bi, and established himself as the king. At the same time, he ordered the border guards to close the city gates, refuse to return the Chu army, and all the grain, grass and ordnance were also interrupted, and this Chu army was like duckweed in the water.

What scared Xiong Tong even more was that Gongzi Qi ordered that all those who followed him would be wiped out of the three clans, and those who left him and surrendered to Gongzi Qi would be pardoned for all their crimes.

This directly shook Xiong Tong's foundation, and the soldiers in the army of Chu State were panicked. They are fighting outside, but their families are all in the country, and if they follow Xiong Tong again, the family will be destroyed.

Therefore, after the news came, there was a Chu army fleeing that night.

Xiong Tong's face changed suddenly after knowing the news, if the Huai army attacked here, he could also use the pressure of the Huai army's attack, with his life and righteousness, to force these soldiers to join him temporarily, and then lead the army to return to China quickly, as long as he can defeat Gongzi Qi, he can continue to be the Marquis of Chu.

However, Xu Mao had long known what was happening in the Chu State, and directly ordered the army to shrink out, and without the pressure of life and death brought by the Huai State, these Chu armies would soon collapse on their own.

A large number of soldiers fled, at first only a dozen people, then more and more numerous, and finally the army turned out to be direct

Retreat in batches and no longer follow Xiong Tong's orders.

Seeing the Chu army scattering and fleeing, Xu Mao immediately ordered the army under his command to attack, and the Huai army, which had long been suffocated and almost unbearable, immediately chased and killed the Chu army like a wild horse that had escaped.

The fleeing Chu army did not dare to turn back to fight at all, and the army plunged thousands of miles, with countless dead. And Chuhou Xiongtong was also captured alive by Xu Mao.

Xu Mao did not let the army go all the way to chase and kill the Chu army, but after driving the Chu army out, he recovered all the cities along the river, leaving some troops to defend, and then led the army north.

After this turmoil, the state of Chu was basically unable to fight anymore, the state of Chu failed several battles in a row, lost a large number of soldiers, and this time was hunted down after the rout, the Chu army suffered many casualties, and the Huai army suffered extremely minor casualties.

The state of Chu suffered heavy casualties, and even if it was a country of thousands of miles and a population of one million, it could not withstand several successive defeats.

After Xiong Qi, the prince of Chu, learned that the Chu army had collapsed and Xiong Tong was abandoned, he directly assumed the throne and negotiated peace with the envoy and Huai.

The only requirement is to kill Xiong Tong.

Huai Guo didn't want to start a war with Chu State now, so he directly agreed to Chu Hou's request, anyway, Xiong Tong was useless, and directly killed Xiong Tong to temporarily negotiate peace with Chu State.

The state of Chu withdrew from this war, and the state of Huai could be regarded as having a free hand, and there was no need to fight on two fronts. And there are still many troubles in the Chu State that need to be solved, although the practice of Xiong Qi, the Marquis of Chu, is not as serious as killing the king, but it is not much worse.

Moreover, two generations of Chu Marquis were killed in a row, which also made Xiong Qi, who had just ascended the throne, extra vigilant, for fear that he would be killed and replaced by someone if he was not careful. This also leads to the future political pattern of the Chu State will become very complicated. Of course, these problems are good for Huaiguo.

After settling the affairs of the state of Chu, Xu Mao led the army north along the canal. This time, Xu Mao led elite soldiers.

......

Just when Xu Mao and Chu were confronting each other, under the city of Xiapi, the army of Qi was fighting with Huai. Hundreds of thousands of armies from both countries converged on this wilderness. Tens of thousands of people fight every day.

Although the Huai army was less than half of the allied army of the princes of Qi, the soldiers were more elite and relied on the camp, and the casualties of the allied army of the princes of Qi were very high.

Wei Jun, who commanded the battle in Huaiguo, was also experienced, and followed Wang Sheng to fight in the south and north for many years. The Qi army leaked flaws several times, and wanted to lure them, but they were all seen through, but instead of luring the Huai army, they were swallowed by Wei Jun several times.

The two sides fought repeatedly, and the Qi State did not take advantage of the slightest, but lost its troops.
