Under Belo's chain of tricks, the huge Chu State was not only divided into four parts, but even Xiang Yan and the Xiang family no longer had the trust and reliance of any of the four Chu kings.

However, it is still not the best time for the Qin Dynasty to attack and destroy the four Chu States. The four Chu States must first be allowed to consume each other internally.

When the four Chu States coexisted, more than three months later, there was no conflict between them. For this reason, Belo began to use a little trick again.

Half a month later, the direct evidence that Xiong You participated in the assassination of the Chu King Xiong Jian appeared on the desks of Xiong Lie, Fu Chu and Xiong Gao.

Soon after, in line with the principle of dying a poor monk, Xiong Lie, who also participated in the assassination of the Chu King Xiong Jian, took the lead in launching an extremely fierce attack on Xiong You's Dongchu.

When the battle between East Chu and South Chu was in full swing, the direct evidence that Xiong Lie also participated in the assassination of King Xiong Jian of Chu was placed on the desks of Fu Chu and Xiong Gao.

So, Fu Chu and Xiong Gao took advantage of the defeat of South Chu and attacked Xiong Lie's remnants from two different directions, one in the west and one in the north.

When Xiong Lie's South Chu was seriously injured, the news that Fu Chu participated in the wedding of Fusu and Jiang Yan in Daqin after Xiong Jian's death and drank happily at the wedding was heard by the other three kings of Chu and the four subjects of Chu.

This time, not only the other three Chu countries, but even the subjects of West Chu accused Fu Chu of being unworthy of the position and unworthy of being their king.

In this way, taking advantage of the critical moment when the people in Western Chu were divided, the other three kings of Chu led their respective armies to attack Fu Chu for his disregard for filial piety.

Yes, Belo took advantage of the public opinion war that people in later generations often used, and played the four Chu countries in his hands.

After the overall strength of the four Chu countries was almost exhausted, Belo used another clever trick. He bribed the ministers of Northern Chu with a large sum of money and asked Xiong Gao to recall Xiang Yan and the Xiang family to Northern Chu to obey his orders.

At this time, Xiang Yan, who had been unemployed at home for nearly two years, received Xiong Gao's edict and almost without any hesitation, took the Xiang family's people and went to the embrace of Northern Chu.

Since Xiang Yan came to Northern Chu, Eastern Chu, Southern Chu and Western Chu were no match for Xiong Gao. Therefore, in order to defeat Northern Chu, Xiong You, Xiong Lie and Fu Chu had to temporarily put aside their past grudges.

This battle between the troops of Northern Chu led by Xiang Yan and the joint troops of the other three Chu countries ended in a loss for both sides.

The joint troops of Eastern Chu, Southern Chu and Western Chu were basically exhausted, and although Northern Chu still retained a small number of troops, the Xiang family was almost completely wiped out in this battle.

Well, it's time for the iron hoofs of the Qin Dynasty to attack Chu in a mighty manner.

Facing the mighty Qin cavalry, the four remaining Chu states finally realized that they had to unite against the common enemy. Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yan led the four Chu states, with a total of less than 100,000 troops, to fight against the 300,000 Qin troops led by Wang Jian and Meng Ao.

Although Xiang Yan had nearly 100,000 troops under his command, more than half of these Chu soldiers were injured. Therefore, the battle between Qin and Chu was one-sided as soon as it started.

In the end, Xiang Yan led these wounded soldiers and fought against the 300,000 Qin troops to the last soldier, and he himself committed suicide with his sword under the double persuasion of Wang Jian and Meng Ao.

After Xiang Yan's death, the remaining four Chu states were no longer a threat. As a result, when the Qin army was not yet at the gates of the city, the King of Northern Chu, Xiong Gao, opened the city and surrendered to the Qin army.

Then, the King of Western Chu, Fu Chu, also opened the city and surrendered to the Qin army under the persuasion of his ministers.

As for the brothers Xiong You and Xiong Lie, they united and chose to resist to the end. They had been fighting against each other all their lives, but they didn't expect that at the last moment, the brothers would choose to live and die together.

Unfortunately, God didn't seem to give the brothers a chance to fight and die.The opportunity to fight on the battlefield was just around the corner, because when Xiong You and Xiong Lie put on armor for each other and prepared to go out of the city to fight the Qin army, their uncle, Li Yuan, came to the brothers with the guards in the palace.

"Uncle, what do you mean?" Xiong You stepped forward to Li Yuan.

"My two nephews, your uncle has come here specially today to send you off!" Li Yuan said straight to the point.

"On the road! Hahaha, how many people have you killed in your life, uncle? Well! At this point, I have nothing to say, but before I die, I still want to hear you say something definite, uncle, am I the son of my father or the son of Chunshen Jun?" Xiong You walked up to Li Yuan with a fearless attitude.

"I don't know about this question, uncle. After all, your mother served the late king and Chunshen Jun successively during the days when she was pregnant with you! But I was indeed afraid that someone would make a big fuss about the fact that you might be Huang Xie's son, so I got rid of Huang Xie to silence him!" At this point, Li Yuan had nothing to hide any more.

Just like that, with the question of who he didn't know, Xiong You died calmly under the swords of the guards. Then, Xiong Lie was stabbed to death by Li Yuan himself after a meaningless resistance.

After Xiong You and Xiong Lie both died, Li Yuan led the remaining troops of East Chu and South Chu and directly opened the city gates to surrender to the Qin army. As the biological mother of the two Chu kings, Queen Mother Li was presented to Wang Jian and Meng Ao by her brother with a flattering face.

When Li Yuan led the remnants to open the city and surrender to Wang Jian and Meng Ao, the former southern power - Chu, naturally disappeared completely, and Daqin naturally unified the world.

When the news that all Chu countries were destroyed was passed back to Daqin, it was also the time when Fusu and Jiang Yan's first child was about to be born!
