This is a big clue. It was precisely because he knew that Gu Chen could not seek refuge with Prince Yanyang that he dared to cross the river and burn the bridge.
So what if the bridge is broken? The only one the other party can choose to cooperate with is you. Even if you suffer a loss, you can only swallow it!
He, Wu Lie, has such a bad temper that he allows others to take advantage of him, but he doesn't go back in revenge!
"I see, Your Highness is wise."
"If Marquis Muye successfully regains the lost territory and drives the Pei army back to the east of the Haojiang River, it can once again form a deterrent to the Pei state."
"The state of Pei was severely damaged after this battle. It lost its wife and lost its troops. It will also threaten the rule of King Liu Yan of Pei. Then His Highness will have the opportunity to truly control the state of Pei. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone!"
Commander Crow thought about it deeply and admired it from the bottom of his heart.
Your Highness is still Your Highness, he is still so far-sighted, no wonder he can suppress Prince Yanyang at every turn.
"Just wait and see the good show, I can't wait to see Chen Yi's expression as if he's eaten a fly!"
A proud smile appeared on Wu Lie's lips.
…
Pei's army was so powerful that in less than a month, they successively captured three counties of Lan State.
I thought that attacking these three counties would encounter fierce resistance, but what I didn't expect was that the army of the Lan State was almost collapsed at the first touch, and the Pei State achieved astonishing results with very slight battle losses.
At first, Tang Xuance was hesitant and suspected whether there was fraud, but under Gu Chen's urging, he had no choice but to move forward.
From the beginning of the war to now, everything has gone so smoothly that Tang Xuance felt like he was in a dream.
If it is a dream, it must wake up one day. On this day, news came from Landu.
The third prince of Lan Kingdom was imprisoned, while Marquis Makino took control of Lan Capital and officially became king!
After that, spies from the Pei Kingdom found out that there were signs of large armies gathering in various counties of the Lan Kingdom. Judging from the direction, they seemed to be targeting the Pei army!
"It's not good!"
Tang Xuance looked at the distribution points of the various armies of the Lan Kingdom on the map, felt uneasy, and immediately found Gu Chen.
"Mr. Chen, I am afraid that Marquis Muye will launch an offensive against our Pei army soon. I suggest that we gather our troops immediately, otherwise our troops will be scattered and defeated one by one, and our results will be in vain!"
Tang Xuance said anxiously, in fact, he felt that it was too late to gather the troops now. The troops had already been sent out, and they could not be concentrated even if they were concentrated.
But he still had to do it. As a commander, his keen sense told him that if he fought on all fronts in the Lan Kingdom, the Pei army would definitely suffer heavy casualties!
He was even worried about their rear area and wondered if any accidents would happen!
"No need to worry, just read this letter before speaking."
Gu Chen smiled, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Tang Xuance.
"This is……"
Tang Xuance took the letter with a suspicious look on his face and opened it. His face was shocked at first, then ecstatic!
Marquis Muye officially succeeded to the throne of King Lan, and this news spread throughout the Dasheng Dynasty as quickly as possible.
This result did not surprise many people. As early as when Pei State sent troops to attack Lan State, many forces had anticipated this result.
In the eyes of various forces, both the Pei Kingdom and the Lan Kingdom are within Prince Wulie's sphere of influence. Now that the out-of-control Lan Kingdom has regained stability, it demonstrates Prince Wulie's outstanding emergency response capabilities.
However, the next development of the situation made the major forces somewhat confused.
First, the troops from various counties in the Lan Kingdom mobilized one after another, and there seemed to be signs of a major war with the Pei army.
Both belong to the banner of Prince Ulie, and the major forces thought that after Marquis Makino came to power, the two countries would have a more harmonious truce.
Just when the major forces were curious about who would win the battle between the two countries, an unexpected guest came out and killed him.
Zeguo sent troops!
The Yehu Clan summoned a total of 700,000 troops and launched a surprise attack from the border with the Lan Kingdom. They swept towards Landu with overwhelming momentum!
Because most of the troops in the Lan Kingdom had been transferred to the Pei Army and were on the way, so in the face of Ze Kingdom's offensive, the counties along the way had almost no power to fight back!
After hearing the news, Marquis Muye quickly dispatched most of his troops to stop the Zeguo army. In this way, the offensive that had just been launched against the Pei army came to a halt!
When Zeguo sent troops, Peiguo was not a vegetarian. Peijun and Zeguo were the horns of each other. They cooperated very well and started a carnival of sharing the flesh and blood of Languo!
The Lan Kingdom had been severely weakened due to internal strife before. Now that the two countries are joining forces, they have a serious shortage of troops. They can only shrink the front line and defend with Lan Du as the center, resisting stubbornly.
In times of national calamity, if everyone works together and relies on the strength of the city, we may be able to survive the disaster.
However, as soon as the Lan army retreated to defend Landu, rumors began to spread among the army.
Rumor has it that in order to get the throne, Marquis Makino did not hesitate to hand over a large area of territory to the Pei Kingdom. He is the real disaster of the crisis of the collapse of the Lan Kingdom!
Rumors cannot be true, and the truth cannot be concealed.
Soon, the news spread like wildfire, and countless people accused Marquis Makino of treason. The morale of the army suddenly dropped to the extreme, and the soldiers did not know who they were fighting for.
But at this time, the remnants of the third prince sensed an opportunity and came out to cause trouble again, causing the situation in Landu to become even more chaotic.
Under this situation, the army of Lan State fought and retreated, and eventually lost more than 90% of its territory. The combined armies of Pei State and Ze State surrounded Landu!
When the news reached Shengyang Realm, Wu Lie was dumbfounded.
"Marquis Muye, this loser, what is he doing? How could he lose the entire country!"
Wu Lie roared angrily, the development of the situation was completely different from what he imagined.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It was unexpected for Ze State to send troops, and the timing of sending troops was very good. It is normal for Lan State, which is already weakened, to be unable to stop the two countries' troops."
"I'm afraid we have all been fooled. Pei Guo and Ze Guo have already formed a secret alliance, otherwise the cooperation between the two parties would not be so tacit!"
The crow general commander smiled bitterly and said that the recent development of a series of situations can be said to have severely slapped them in the face.
It was not just as simple as Zeguo sending troops. The troops deployed by Marquis Muye in the occupied areas, including the surrendered generals who helped the Pei army occupy various counties, were all assassinated at the same time!
The time was also chosen very accurately, just before Zeguo sent troops.
Lan Guoben mobilized a large number of troops to defeat Pei's army one by one, but his plan to send troops was aborted because of Ze Guo's plan.
At the same time, a large number of Muyehou's people were killed, which also caused the Lan army to completely lose its influence on the occupied areas, and Pei State truly took over the swallowed counties.
They advanced hand in hand, and the offensive was continuous. After that, Pei State even made a fuss about the generals who were assassinated by them, and told Muye Hou that he was cooperating with them internally and externally, causing Muye Hou to completely lose the support of the people.
This series of methods can be said to be done in one go, stepping ahead of them step by step, and plotting against them so hard that no one can resist!
The Chen Yicheng Mansion was really terrifying, and the angry but useless Prince Wu Lie was as weak as a baby in front of him.
