When Xu Mao told Wang Sheng the plan, Wang Sheng immediately agreed. Let the intelligence network's spies in Chu State cooperate with Xu Mao. This is also because Xu Maonai is a son of the public family. Otherwise, the intelligence network would not even know about it, let alone let the intelligence network assist.
In order to increase the success rate of this strategy, Wang Sheng specially used a destiny artifact [Human-level props·Divorce Strategy]
[Human-level props and alienation meter]: After use, you can alienate the designated target and increase the probability of betrayal. The target's personality, morality and other comprehensive qualities will affect the effect of this prop.
Divorce tactics are very ineffective or even ineffective against Guan Zhong or other people who are strong-willed, have high moral standards, and are not ruthless and unjust. But for those who are not strong-willed and are only interested in profit, the effect is very good.
Wang Sheng used this stratagem to alienate Ling Yin from the capital of Ying, in order to make Ling Yin betray Xiong Tong, the Marquis of Chu. Of course, Shen Ju is not strong-willed and is not a gentleman with extremely high moral standards, so the effect is very good. As a result, Young Master Qi just deceived him, and he immediately rebelled.
Items such as the Divorce Meter do not consume high luck value and have very low backlash effects. They can be said to be of high quality and low price.
Prince Qi falsely claimed that the Chu army was under siege, 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 the Chu state. Chu Jun Xiong Tong had killed a large number of nobles, but now he also began to bite back.
Seeing this situation, many surviving nobles expressed their support for Prince Qi. At the same time, those who were loyal to Chu Jun Xiong Tong were killed.
Overnight, the entire Yingdu was cleansed, and then Young Master Qi sent an envoy to close the border and prevent Xiong Tong from coming back. At the same time, he also ordered that all the Yiqi tribe who followed Chu Tong and surrendered and returned would be exempted from punishment.
At this time, the nobles in Yingdu of Chu State knew that the Chu army was not surrounded by Huai State at all, and Chu Hou Xiong Tong was not dead. But by this time, these nobles had already boarded the pirate ship sailed by the young master, and had no chance to get off the ship.
Chu Hou Xiong Tong is mean and cruel. Since these people have betrayed him, once Chu Hou Xiong Tong returns to Yingdu, he will never let them go. Do you think you were deceived by Young Master Qi? Do you think Xiong Tong will believe it?
In the end, these people had no choice but to follow Young Master Qi all the way to the dark side, and they also had to support Young Master Qi. It can be said that these nobles smashed their teeth and swallowed it in their stomachs.
Of course, Gongzi Qi was able to succeed, and a large part of the reason for this was the secret cooperation of the Huaiguo Intelligence Network. On the one hand, people spread rumors in Yingdu, and on the other hand, Xu Mao sent people to surround and kill the messengers of the Chu army. The news of the Chu army could not be sent back to Yingdu.
It was also because of the secret cooperation of the Huaiguo intelligence network that Master Qi's adventure was successful. Young Master Qi originally hated Xiong Tong, and after being lured out of his heart by greed, he made a desperate move to do something big.
Without the interference of the Huai State intelligence network, the changes in Chu State were quickly communicated to the front line. The Chu army, which was fighting against the Huai Kingdom, suddenly became panicked.
The prince of the state of Chu rebelled and rebelled, and killed the prince Lu. Ziran and the prince Bi then established themselves as kings. At the same time, he ordered the border guards to close the city gates and refuse the return of the Chu army. All supplies of food, grass and weapons were also cut off. This Chu army was like duckweeds in the water.
What makes Xiong Tong even more frightened is that Young Master Qi has ordered that anyone who follows him will have three tribes annihilated, and anyone who leaves him and surrenders to Young Master Qi will be pardoned from all crimes.
This directly shook Xiong Tong's foundation, and the soldiers in the Chu army were in panic. They are fighting abroad, but their family members and relatives are all at home. If they follow Xiong Tong again, the family will be killed.
Therefore, after the news came, Chu troops escaped that night.
After Xiong Tong learned the news, his expression suddenly changed. If the Huai Army attacked in a large scale here, he could also use the pressure of the Huai Army's attack to threaten their lives and righteousness to force these soldiers to temporarily stay with him, and then lead the army back home quickly. As long as If he can defeat Young Master Qi, he can continue to be the Marquis of Chu.
However, Xu Mao had long known what was happening in Chu State, and directly ordered the army to shrink. Without the life and death pressure brought by Huai State, these Chu troops would soon collapse on their own.
A large number of soldiers fled. At first, there were only a dozen people, but then the number became larger and larger. In the end, the army directly
Retreat in batches and no longer obey Xiong Tong's orders.
Seeing the Chu army fleeing in all directions, Xu Mao immediately ordered his troops to attack. The Huai army, which had been suffocated for a long time, immediately chased the Chu army like a wild horse that had escaped its reins.
The fleeing Chu army did not dare to turn back to fight. The army collapsed thousands of miles, and countless people died. Xiong Tong, the Marquis of Chu, was also captured alive by Xu Mao.
Xu Mao did not let the army chase the Chu army all the way. He just drove the Chu army out, recovered all the cities along the river, left some troops to defend, and then led the army northward.
After experiencing this turmoil, the Chu State was basically unable to fight anymore. The Chu State failed in several consecutive battles and lost a large number of soldiers. This time it was defeated and was hunted down. The Chu army suffered many casualties, while the Huai army suffered very few casualties.
The Chu State suffered heavy casualties. Even though the Chu State was thousands of miles away and had a population of millions, it could not withstand several consecutive defeats.
After Xiong Qi, the son of the Chu State, learned that the Chu army collapsed and Xiong Tong was abandoned, he directly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself a marquis, and sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Huai State.
The only requirement is to kill Xiong Tong.
The Huai State did not want to go to war with the Chu State now, so it directly agreed to the Chu Hou's request. Since Xiong Tong was useless anyway, he directly killed Xiong Tong and temporarily negotiated with the Chu State.
The Chu State withdrew from this war, and the Huai State freed up a hand and no longer had to fight on two fronts. There are still many troubles to be solved in Chu State. Although Chu Hou Xiong Qi's approach is not as serious as regicide, it is not much different.
Moreover, two consecutive generations of Chu princes were killed, which made Xiong Qi, who had just ascended the throne, be particularly vigilant, fearing that he would be killed and replaced if he was not careful. This also causes the political structure of Chu State to become very complicated in the future. Of course, these problems are a good thing for Huai State.
After settling the affairs of Chu State, Xu Mao led his army north along the canal. This time Xu Mao led all elite soldiers.
...
While Xu Mao was confronting the Chu State, the Qi State army was fighting with the Huai State under Xiapi City. Hundreds of thousands of troops from both countries gathered in this wilderness. Tens of thousands of people fight every day.
Although the Huai State army was less than half the number of the Qi State's coalition forces, the soldiers were more elite and relied on camps. The Qi State coalition forces suffered high casualties.
Wei Jun, who commanded the battle in Huai State, was also experienced and had followed Wang Sheng in the southern and northern campaigns for many years. The Qi army leaked flaws several times and tried to seduce them, but they were seen through. Instead of luring the Huai army, Wei Jun used his generals to swallow him up several times.
The two sides fought many times, but Qi State did not gain the slightest advantage, but instead lost troops and generals.
