Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 446: Civil strife in the alliance, return to Hexi

The seventh day of June in the year 1333 of the New Yu Calendar

Lincang Road, on the north bank of the Yunlan Ancient River, more than a hundred Tianshu-class warships are spread out on the water. More than half of them have turned their bows and headed south, while the other half of the ships are lining up along the coast, one by one. The barge docks at the pier.

On the pier, tens of thousands of soldiers were waiting eagerly. They were divided into a number of well-disciplined military formations. Each military formation had about 5 to [-] people and covered an area of ​​more than ten miles, because all the soldiers were wearing red armor. , looking from a distance, it looks like an endless red torrent.

If one looks back in mid-air, one will find that this red torrent stretches across the land for at least hundreds of miles from north to south, across east and west, and circles the entire river bank, extending a full hundred miles wide.

Yunlan Ancient River divides the north and south of China. It is needless to say that it is majestic and majestic. However, at this moment, the red torrent stretching for hundreds of miles on the river bank is not inferior to it at all. Even compared with the middle reaches of the ancient river, the red torrent is The shock of the torrent is even greater.

In the sky above Gujiang River, Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, Hou Yujie, and Hou Yuduan stood side by side. The four of them looked down at the army boarding the ship below. From time to time, they raised their heads and scanned the rear, always keeping an eye on the surrounding situation.

Although the four of them were side by side, Hou Yucheng, who was obviously wearing a beast-faced sky-swallowing red armor, was standing slightly forward, while the other three were slightly further back.

After all, there is order between elder and younger, so of course Hou Yu is the leader of the three.

"Seventeen million troops crossed the ancient river. Those holy places should have received the news a long time ago. Half of our soldiers have boarded the ship, and no one has come to cause trouble. It's really strange!"

"The army of the Jin Dynasty in Dongyuan Dao wants to confront the alliance. It is understandable that they don't move. But they stayed in Zhongzhou with more than 500 million troops. They didn't move. This is a bit abnormal."

"Even if the 100 million-strong army that set out from Wangchuan Daocheng didn't receive the message, they must have known about the 600 million-strong army that set out from Shendu. Why didn't they react at all?"

Hearing Hou Yucheng's slightly confused words, Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie immediately resonated with each other, and it was obvious that the three of them thought about it together.

The Hou family's army left Shendu and the three coalition forces left the north. It was indeed beneficial to the Jin Dynasty. But the problem was that their destination was Baimingdu. It was clear that they wanted to cross the Yangtze River and go south. Crossing the Yangtze River from Baimingdu Next, there is only one destination, and that is Hexi.

Now, they still belong to the alliance.

Emperor Youye was leading his army to fight against the alliance in Hexi. Hou's 700 million-strong army went south. Once it joined the alliance, the Jin's war in Hexi would be hopeless.

It is impossible for Da Jin not to see such a clear situation.

Then why didn't they come to stop it?
Soon, the three people who were full of doubts found that only Hou Yuduan always looked calm, and they all immediately turned their eyes to him.

This can be regarded as the tradition of the Hou family. When Hou Yuxiao is here, they always turn to Hou Yuxiao when they have questions. If Hou Yuxiao is not there, they can only turn to Hou Yuduan to solve their doubts.

"Lao Wu, eldest brother has been to Wangchuan Daocheng once before. You two must be hiding something from us, right?" Hou Yucheng remembered that before eldest brother Hou Yuxiao entered the treasure house, he told him to find Lao Wu and lead the army south together. I basically have the number in my mind.

Hou Yujie and Hou Yuling didn't speak, but when they saw a smile slowly appearing on Hou Yuduan's face, they immediately understood that the eldest brother must have something that he didn't tell them clearly.

"Dajin, not only will they not stop us from going south now, they will not even stop us when we land in Hexi!"

When the three of them heard this, they all looked stunned.

"How is it possible that they didn't stop us from landing in Hexi?"

Hou Yucheng couldn't help but feel confused. He had made the overall plan for the army to go south this time. The expected situation of being blocked by the Jin in the north did not happen, so he devoted all his energy to the next landing. , he has even explained the landing plan to all the commanders.

But now, Hou Yuduan told him
When the army landed in Hexi, the Jin Dynasty didn't stop it?

Why didn't Da Jin stop him?

Also, where did Hou Yuduan get his confidence?
…………

Suddenly, Hou Yujie's expression became fixed. He seemed to have figured something out. His face suddenly changed with shock. He turned to look at Hou Yuduan and guessed:
"Lao Wu, we and Da Jin, should we..."

Hou Yujie didn't finish his words because he saw a faint smile on Hou Yuduan's face.

If this faint smile is not enough to explain the problem.

Then Hou Yuduan's nod was undoubtedly confirmation.

The expressions of the three people changed at the same time, and their pupils were full of horror.

The Hou family has cooperated with Da Jin!
How can this be?

On the eve of Haishi on March [-]th, the eldest brother Hou Yuxiao had indeed secretly visited the Jin Emperor, but at that time, not only Hou Yucheng, but everyone thought that Hou Yuxiao was doing it for the treasure house, and that he wanted to unite the alliance and the Jin Dynasty to suppress the Crescent Moon God. Teach, don’t let Sikong Yue succeed.

"That night, the eldest brother came to Dajin in advance. The discussion was not about the treasury, nor was it to unite Dajin and the alliance to suppress the New Moon God Sect and Sikong Yue?"

Hearing Hou Yucheng's question, Hou Yuduan nodded slightly at first, but after a while he shook his head slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he realized that he could say it now, so he whispered to the three of them and spoke slowly:
"Yes and no, what we are talking about is indeed the treasure house. It is indeed true to unite the Jin Dynasty and the alliance in the treasure house to suppress the New Moon God Sect, but..."

Having said this, he paused and continued:

"We are talking about more than just the treasure trove, this matter!"

After hearing this, the three of them actually felt a little enlightened.

We are not only talking about the treasure house, but now their army is marching south to Hexi, and they are among them. So the reason why the Jin Dynasty did not stop them is because the eldest brother and the Emperor of Jin had informed about this matter in advance, and the Jin Dynasty knew about it, so Don't stop.

But why?

In fact, Hou Yucheng can almost imagine that cooperating with Da Jin is nothing more than making a fuss about the Crescent God Sect that is about to end. Sikong Yue has been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight for so long, and suddenly comes to an end. Da Jin will definitely be worried. At this time, the eldest brother will take Hou If he comes forward, Da Jin will of course agree.

Besides, they surrendered at this time, but at the cost of giving up the capital of God. Since the Jin Dynasty can take over the capital of God, and with the help of the Hou family's coalition forces, of course they are willing.

This means that they are now going south to Hexi. If nothing unexpected happens, the army will join forces with Emperor Youye to deal with the New Moon Sect.

"If we cooperate with Dajin, wouldn't the alliance..."

"The alliance will be broken up soon!"

Hou Yuduan suddenly said such a sentence, which made Hou Yucheng and the others stunned again, and their faces were instantly filled with confusion.

"The trip to the treasure house revolves around Sikong Yue. No matter what purpose Sikong Yue has, no matter whether she achieves it or not, she will definitely cooperate with the alliance to fight against the Jin Dynasty. In this case, the alliance still has a great chance of winning. In this case, how can the alliance Disperse?"

"Yes, although the alliance's war in Hexi and Jizhou did not go well, and the confrontation with the Jin Dynasty was at a disadvantage, but everyone knows the reason. It is simply that the five Holy Lands are not united at the moment, and the troops dispatched by each are extremely limited. , if they are serious about it, not to mention that they will definitely beat Da Jin, it is still possible to do it [-]-[-]."

"White Deer Academy counts as two schools. After all, this is the Six Holy Lands, plus a King of Martial Power..."

Hou Yujie spoke after Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling. He originally wanted to lament the six holy places joining forces, but when he mentioned the mighty king Hou Jing, Hou Yuduan suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

Hou Yuduan's reaction immediately made the three people's minds move.

"Lao Wu, when you say the alliance is about to break up, do you mean... Hou Jing?"

There was a trace of hesitation and struggle deep in Hou Yuduan's eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something. After hesitating for a moment, he still raised his head and looked directly at Hou Yucheng and the other three, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, fourth brother, third sister, Hou Jing’s identity......"

"Okay, Lao Wu, no need to say anything more!"

Hou Yucheng suddenly interrupted Hou Yuduan, and the faces of Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie beside him all changed. The three people's expressions were ugly, and they all seemed to understand Hou Yuduan's meaning immediately.

Not only was it ugly, Hou Yuling's body even started to tremble.

Although the movement was very subtle, it was still captured by Hou Yuduan.

His eyes became slightly downcast, and he opened his mouth and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, Hou Yucheng got there first.

"Hou Jing is going to have a showdown with Qinjian Villa. His family alone wants to tear the entire alliance into pieces. I'm afraid it's not necessarily true, right?"

Hou Yuduan sighed. Hou Yucheng said these words, and the reactions of Hou Yujie and Hou Yuling just now were enough to prove that the three of them knew Hou Jing's true identity.

In other words, the three of them might have just guessed before, until what they just said made them confirm their guess.

Third sister and fourth brother must be feeling very uncomfortable right now...

Hou Yuduan subconsciously glanced at Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie. Just as he thought, their faces were gloomy like blood, and their pupils flickered with pain and struggle from time to time. Realizing that their emotions were rising, he hurriedly opened his mouth to change the subject.

"In today's world, there is no strong alliance between the Holy Lands. They all hope that the other side will perish first. Once the New Moon God Sect comes out, the anti-Jin alliance's strength will be overflowing. I'm afraid it won't be a big deal if one or two families are destroyed. event.

The only thing Hou Jing has to deal with is Qinjian Villa. With his strength, he has little chance of winning against Qinjian Villa alone. Since he takes action at this time, he must be fully prepared and determined to die.

The five holy places of the alliance are all in the east of the river, and the Qinjian Villa occupies Jizhou, hanging alone in the north of the river. The five holy places originally sent a large army across the river to support the alliance. How could they stop Qinjian Villa?

The Jin Dynasty hated this traitor so much that Hou Jing wanted to fight with Qinjian Villa with his life, and they would be happy to see it happen.

As a result, Jizhou will be in chaos and the alliance will cut off its arms. The five holy places will temporarily shrink their strength from Jizhou and focus on the war in Hexi. It is precisely because of this consideration that the Jin Dynasty is worried about the Crescent God Sect in the west. , there are five holy places to the east, so they will accept us back to Hexi and join forces with them. "

After hearing this, Hou Yucheng and the others finally understood what Hou Yuduan meant when he said that the alliance would soon be broken up.

What was the biggest advantage of the alliance before?
It means uniting almost all the forces that can be united. Although the basic base is the five families in Hedong, but with King Wuwei who betrayed the Jin Dynasty and a Qinjian Villa occupying Jizhou, the meaning is completely different.

This can at least prove to the world that the anti-Jin alliance they founded was not a local force dominated by the five families in Hedong, but an alliance that included anti-Jin people with lofty ideals from all over the world.

However, now, they have abandoned Hou Jing and Qinjian Villa, and have retreated to Hedong. They have suddenly returned to the Hedong Alliance, which was dominated by the five families before. In this way, who will trust their anti-Jin alliance? , even if the New Moon God Sect joins at this time, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop the people of the world from talking.

From an anti-Jin alliance that could unite people with lofty ideals all over the world, to a local alliance headed by the five Hedong families, the gap can be said to be thousands of miles away. If it were the previous alliance, it would still be an alliance that could absorb the Hou family, Jiangbei family, etc. Alliance, many heaven-level forces, and even the New Moon God Sect, an organization with strong cohesion and centripetal force, has now become a local conservative group that competes with the general trend of the world.

The question is, today five families have given up on Qinjian Villa. Will the other four families unite and give up another holy land tomorrow?
The alliance will not be broken up soon. If nothing unexpected happens, I am afraid that this time will be much earlier than imagined.

"Then once our army crosses the river, we will wear the same pants as the Jin Dynasty. This..."

Hou Yucheng frowned before he finished speaking.

This is no joke. You must know that just three short months ago, they and Dajin were at odds with each other, and they had even fought against each other. Suddenly, they made a 180-degree turn. The cooperation between Dajin and Jin may be fine for senior officials like them, but it is not so good for the soldiers below.

One second ago there was an enemy with a blood feud.

The next second, they became friends.

The Hou Clan's Chiyan Army is fine, even the Zhaoyang Army, Hou Yucheng is sure, but right now, the army he leads is more than 700 million, mixed with the Hou Clan, Jiangbei League, Lu Clan, and six heavenly ranks. There are big forces, and there are millions of loose martial artists from all states in the world.

It is simply impossible for so many people to suddenly accept it.

Moreover, among them are six heavenly powers, and there are millions of casual cultivators from every state in the world, most of whom came for the name of the Great Yu Dynasty. In their eyes, the Great Jin is a rebellion against the bandits.

It is impossible for them to accept cooperation with Dajin.

"So after landing in Hexi and announcing the cooperation with Dajin, there will be a relatively large loss of personnel without accident. That's why my eldest brother and I will hide it from you, just because we are afraid that things will leak out first."

Hou Yucheng nodded, only now did he understand. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said decisively: "There is nothing we can do about the loss. The situation in the world is constantly changing. Our Hou family has no saints and no foundation in the Holy Land. We can only Make choices based on the current situation. If you have different paths, don't work together. If you don't want to be with us, just leave!"

Having said that, whether it was Hou Yucheng who said this, Hou Yujie, Hou Yuling, or even Hou Yuduan on the side, there was a hint of pain on their faces.

The earliest coalition forces of the Hou family, Jiangbei League, and Lu family have a total of 100 million people. Some time ago, there were six heaven-level forces and casual warriors from various states who came to vote. It is almost 2000 million. The only 600 million left now are all the elites. Even compared with the three coalition forces, the gap is very small. Thinking that when these people cross the river, a group will be lost. They will naturally I feel distressed.

"We just need to cross the river and go south. Next, we will find out what happened in the Shenzong treasury and what new developments will happen in the major holy places. If brother can successfully break the holy land, our situation will be different immediately! "

After hearing Hou Yuduan's words, especially the last sentence, the faces of the three people suddenly showed hope.

If the eldest brother becomes a saint, then their situation will be really different.

"The army has all boarded the ship, get ready to set off!"

Hou Yucheng did not forget to keep an eye on the bottom while chatting. When he saw that the last warship had begun to turn around and headed south, he immediately issued a warning.

The three of them came to their senses after hearing the words, and followed Hou Yucheng to fly in the direction of the warship. These troops were considered the Hou family's wealth, so they had to follow them closely.
