Summarizing: "A man so perfidious and pragmatic as a fox, follows the king because he thinks [his] country is able to win [the war]". Is it close to correct?
Thank you very much.

1. Yes. I don't know why the 夫 is there to begin with.
2. Good. It's a relative clause but you translated it as if it were a sentence.
"A man so perfidious and pragmatic as a fox, follows ~~~" >>>> "A man so perfidious and pragmatic as a fox
who follows ~~~"
