As for the Jiaodong army, which was largely controlled by an abundance of old-party talent, an even greater number of people announced their defection and directly incited mutinies, either killing or driving out those outsiders from Zhou Country.
Although Liang Mingyu's faction had the support of five Inborn from Zhou Country, giving it a quite significant advantage in top-tier combat strength within Liang at present,
on the high-level and middle-to-low-level, the opponent's foundation was simply too shallow.
Due to long-term suppression earlier, Liang Mingyu had limited access to resources and had never been able to properly develop his core confidants.
Although he rather inflated his ranks by taking advantage of Chu State's Northern Expedition over the past two years, the actual number of his loyal personnel was only a few hundred.
