Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

The Jin Dynasty was founded with an army. The founding king Yuwen Hongzhang was one of the four great generals of the former Dayu Dynasty. He won over the other three great generals Wanyanpeng, Helianyu, and Tuoba City, and the rebellion was founded.

From the dynasty of God, to the founding of the country, to finally becoming the most holy place in the world, the whole process naturally relied on these three people.

Although the Jin Dynasty is the most holy place in the world, because it has lived in the north, the outside world does not know much about the Jin Dynasty. However, the most praised thing is undoubtedly the beautiful story of one emperor, three emperors, seven kings and twenty-eight princes.

The so-called one emperor refers to the current Jin Emperor Yuwen Dongdu;

The three emperors respectively refer to the Fenling Emperor He Lianba, the Youye Emperor Tuoba Zun, and the Yuliang Emperor Wanyan Cheng. The three emperors respectively governed the three states of Fen, You, and Henan under the rule of the Jin Dynasty.

Just as Zhang took over the throne of Jin Emperor, the three emperors were also the second generation to take over the title of emperor from their father;

The seven kings respectively refer to: King Tuoba Yong of Nanxiang, King Tuoba Xiong of Lingyun, King Wanyanjun of Pingcheng, King Wanyankai of Yunting, King Helianting of Yuzhao, and King Helianchang of Xikang. In addition to these six, the seventh king

The first is King Wuwei, Hou Jing.

The twenty-eight marquises below refer to Marquises such as Tuoba Tao, Marquis of Qingyang, and Wanyan Lie, Marquis of Ziquan. It can be seen from the surnames of Marquis Qingyang and Marquis Ziquan that the twenty-eight Marquises of the Jin Dynasty were

Lord Hou basically comes from the three surnames of Tuoba, Wanyan and Helian.

Install the latest version.]

Judging from the surnames of high-level officials, it seems that the entire Jin Dynasty is occupied by the three major surnames. Even the Yuwen family, as a member of the royal family, seems to have little say in the matter, but this is not the case in reality.

The Jin Dynasty had clear regulations on the armies of marquises. Marquises could not support more than 100,000 troops, kings could not support more than 500,000 troops, and emperors could support only one million troops at most.

It is true that 80% of the marquises of the Jin Dynasty from the Three Emperors on down came from those three families, but this is just a corner of the military department. The Jin Dynasty governs three states and has a population of 4 billion. Even if the army in the hands of the twenty-eight marquises

In total, it was less than three million. Even if all the troops of the Seven Kings and Three Emperors were included, it was nothing to the vast territory of the Jin Dynasty.

Furthermore, how could the Yuwen clan of the royal family, who had been able to rule the Jin Dynasty safely for more than a thousand years, be just an ordinary person?

The Yuwen clan of the royal family is located in Youzhou, with tens of millions of soldiers. Jin Ting personally controls the three major organizations of Fengyun Pavilion, Beiting Division, and Conglongwei, which are full of masters. Emperor Jin issued an edict, and all three states in the north were...

Dare not to obey.

If we really want to divide the Great Jin Holy Dynasty into different levels, then the Yuwen clan is the supreme first level, the Tuoba, Helian, and Wanyan clans are the second level, and the third level is those who are in the flow from various states and prefectures.

power.

Looking at it more broadly, the three states of Jin are basically ruled by the four clans of Yuwen, Helian, Wanyan, and Tuoba.

"The first Jin emperor Yuwen Hongzhang reigned for more than nine hundred years. The entire Jin Dynasty only granted three emperors, six kings and eighteen princes, all of whom were descendants of the three surnames. It was not until the Jindu Covenant that Yuwen Dongdu succeeded these four hundred

In the year, a total of ten marquises were granted, plus more than 20 years ago, Hou Jing was granted the title of king and given the title of Wuwei. Only then did the Jin Dynasty have its first king with a different surname!"

October 26, 1322 in the New Yu Calendar.

At the demon army camp outside Fucheng, Hou Fei kept telling Hou Yuxiao the news he had found among the demon army in Longguan County, focusing on explaining to him the situation of the Jin Dynasty and the name of Hou Jing, the first king with a different surname.

How did it come about.

"So, the so-called first king with a different surname is just that his surname is Hou, not a descendant of Tuoba, Wanyan, and Helian?"

Hou Fei nodded and said sternly: "Master, please don't underestimate the three surnames of Dajin. I was in Longguan County and specifically talked to the soldiers of Dajin. Warriors who are not descendants of the three surnames want to be famous in the Jin army.

Boss, no matter how great your ability is, it will still be difficult for you to reach the sky. This Hou Jing is only over five or four hundred years old this year. Not only did he become a king himself, I heard that eight of the ten marquises who were granted the title of Emperor Yuwen of Jin Dynasty were all

We have an irreversible relationship with him. Among the seven kings of the Jin Dynasty, he is the most powerful, even..."

At this point, Hou Fei paused, as if he was worried that the walls had ears, so he used Gang Qi to transmit the message and continued: "There are rumors in the three states of the north that the Jin Emperor intends to promote Hou Jing to the title of emperor!"

Hou Yuxiao's boy was slightly shocked, just based on the information that Hou Fei had inquired about, it was enough for him to analyze a lot of things.

As long as the power becomes large, the internal relations will definitely be complicated, and it is almost impossible to maintain a dominant family.

Smaller forces, such as the current Hou family, in addition to their five brothers, they also merged with four third-rate forces, as well as a part of the government army, and after destroying the Daluo Sect and Tianding Sect, they also recruited many casual cultivators.

Warrior, in order to balance the major factions within the family, Hou Yuxiao also created a cabinet system.

If the Lian Hou family is like this, let alone the Great Jin Dynasty, which is now recognized as the most holy place in the world, will the Yuwen family of the royal family not be afraid of the other three surnames?

This was the first possibility that came to Hou Yuxiao's mind. He vigorously promoted Hou Jing, who was not a descendant of the third surname, and even promoted him to the rank of emperor to be on an equal footing with the other pillars of the third surname. This was obviously intended to weaken the influence of the third surname.

Of course, there is a second possibility!

That is, the current Jin Emperor Yuwen Dongdu is cultivating his own personal power, the most ruthless imperial family. Yuwen Hongzhang has been in power for nearly a thousand years, and the power of the court is deeply rooted. In order to enhance his real power, Yuwen Dongdu also cultivates private party members.

It's not impossible.

But I have to say that this guess is very bold. In addition, Hou Yuxiao does not know the relationship between the current Jin Emperor and his predecessor, so he cannot be sure.

"Did you find out why King Wuwei asked us to stand still in Guangling Mansion?"

Seeing Hou Fei gently shaking his head, Hou Yuxiao frowned. He speculated on the internal relations of the Jin Dynasty. Naturally, he was not idle. What he wanted to know most was why Hou Jing asked them to stand still at this time.

Now that Lingyuan Mansion has been captured, according to normal logic, Hou Jing should send part of his army northward to cooperate with them to capture Guangling. In this way, with Guangling Lingyuan as the foundation, they can even advance eastward at any time. If the right way is

If the coalition forces fail to resist, the entire Xingyuan Road will be captured by them.

However, King Wuwei asked them to stand still, which made Hou Yuxiao a little confused. He could see things that King Wuwei could not see. In this case, they must have a bigger plan, or something.

, no one could see him clearly.

Hou Yuxiao still believes in himself most of the time, but he is not so arrogant as to think that he knows everything. Strength determines vision. As the only king with a different surname in the Jin Dynasty, King Wuwei is a powerful man with broken realm cultivation. He knows things.

He knows a lot about things, including his ability to plan, and is definitely better than him. He still has this self-awareness.

"But the head of the family, I happened to be present when the people from Lingyuan Mansion came to deliver King Wuwei's military order. I can tell that Master Fanyin was very unhappy when he heard this order!"

Hou Yuxiao's expression brightened slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he chuckled and said: "This battle is a collaboration between the Demon Sect and the Jin Dynasty. It has not yet been determined who will take the lead. King Wuwei's military order seems to be treating himself as the commander-in-chief, fighting against the Demon Sect.

When the army gives orders, Zhan Taiqing will certainly be unhappy."

"Not only her, I also observed that even Qingyang Hou Tuoba Tao and Ziquan Hou Wanyan Lie showed a trace of resistance."

After hearing these words, Hou Yuxiao's expression suddenly became wonderful.

"You mean to say that the relationship between Ziquanhou and Qingyanghou and the mighty king Houjing is not good?"

Before Hou Fei nodded, Hou Yuxiao already had an answer in his heart.

If Hou Jing's existence is to weaken the influence of the three surnames of the Jin Dynasty, then Qingyang Hou Ziquan Hou, who is a descendant of the three surnames, must not have a good attitude towards him, there is no doubt about it.

After getting this key piece of information, Hou Yuxiao suddenly felt enlightened. King Wuwei did not get along with the two princes of Longguan, so it would not be unreasonable for them to stand still.

At present, the two coalition forces were staring at Gu Tianyun's army in Longguan County. Hou Jing asked them to stand still, and Gu Tianyun's army could not move. This in itself had an effect. Qingyang Hou and Ziquan Hou could only abide by the military order even if they were unhappy.

But in this case, they would have no chance to fight in the future. After all, the entire Guangling Mansion was a pool of stagnant water. Without fighting, it meant that there was no chance to make meritorious deeds.

Hou Jing's army of 500,000 has not only taken the lead in attacking Ling Yuan Mansion, but the following righteous coalition forces will be able to mobilize his army at will, whether they are going to recapture Ling Yuan Mansion or coming to Guangling Mansion to support Gu Tianyun.

, respond.

"How did the two princes Zhan Taiqing and Dajin respond to King Wuwei's military order?"

"Although the three of them looked unhappy, they all nodded in agreement!"

"Zhan Taiqing also agreed?"

"Yes, and she was the first to nod in agreement."

Hearing this, Hou Yu felt guilty again. Qingyang Hou and Ziquan Hou nodded in agreement. It may be due to the Jin system or out of consideration for the overall situation, but why did Zhan Taiqing agree? And

He was the first to agree.

After a battle at Longguan, Hou Yuxiao's understanding of this previous saint of the demon sect became even more profound. She was able to trick Gu Tianyun around, and was so ruthless that she could use the lives of 200,000 soldiers as bait. If she dared to look down upon her,

You will definitely suffer a big loss.

Zhan Taiqing is the commander-in-chief of the holy army. Although there is a gap in strength between him and King Wuwei, he represents the Rakshasa Holy Cult after all. The two should be equal in status, not to mention that acting in accordance with King Wuwei's military orders would undermine the majesty of the holy religion.

, even considering the interests of the Holy Religion, she should not agree to stand still.

In the final analysis, the fundamental reason why the Rakshasa Holy Sect crossed the river to attack Xuzhou this time was that they were forced to do nothing. Since the Zhaoyang Rebellion at the end of last year, the Wanjian Holy Sect has repeatedly tested Yongzhou, and the Rakshasa Holy Sect has internal problems.

There was really no other way to deal with foreign aggression, so we took the initiative to attack. The fundamental purpose was to promote the strength of the Holy Religion and dispel the covetousness of the outside world.

Of course, there may be other purposes that Hou Yuxiao doesn't know about, but no matter what the purpose is, it should be to win. Da Jin is fighting happily now, but their home base is in the north. Even if the worst happens, they can't take advantage of it.

The boat went back north, but the Rakshasa Holy Cult was different. It was adjacent to Xuzhou and across the Tongtian River from Zhengdao. If this battle was disrespectful, Yongzhou would become the target of Zhengdao.

All kinds of factors are mixed together. Zhan Taiqing will definitely take the victory of the Rakshasa Holy Cult as the ultimate goal this time. Since she has agreed to stand still, it proves that Guangling Mansion is not moving now, which is beneficial to the overall war situation, or to the Rakshasa Holy Religion.

favorable!

"Master, Guangling Mansion is not moving now. Doesn't it give the righteous coalition forces time to respond? When the second master first learned about this military order, he was puzzled, so when he saw that Tuoba Huang was coming to the city to deliver a message,

That’s why you specifically asked me to follow you and explain the situation to you.”

Hou Yuxiao was stunned when he heard Hou Fei's words. He didn't listen to the rest of the words at all. His mind was filled with his previous sentence.

Give the Righteous Alliance Forces a chance to react!

That's right, they deliberately gave the righteous coalition forces a chance to react. This is the only explanation. Otherwise, they should take advantage of the great victory at this moment to kill Gu Tianyun's army and seize Guangling Mansion.

This must be the case. The Great Jin Dynasty and the Rakshasa Holy Cult deliberately gave Zhengdao time to react and let them send a large army.

for what?

Hou Yuxiao cast his eyes to the north, and the words "Holy Dynasty of Dayu" flashed in his mind. In an instant, he understood everything as if he was enlightened.

The Holy Dynasty of Jin Dynasty and Qinjian Villa are currently attacking Dayu from the east and west respectively. If the ultimate goal of Jin Dynasty is to destroy Dayu, then they should prolong the battle of Yongxu as much as possible and devote all their energy to Zhengdao.

Dragging it here.

Zhan Taiqing didn't care about Dayu's life or death. To be precise, the Rakshasa Holy Cult didn't care about Dayu's life or death. What they wanted was to attack the righteous forces as much as possible. In this case, they simply followed the wishes of the Jin Dynasty.

Wait for White Deer Academy, Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect, and Leiyin Temple to continue sending their armies over.

Hou Yuxiao suddenly figured out the cause and effect. Although his mind became much clearer, he still felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

In the final analysis, this widely-involved Hedong War was still a game between the Holy Lands. Even if Hou Yuxiao could roughly guess a lot of things through some clues, there were definitely still many things that he did not understand.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Strength determined vision. The current strength of the Hou family and himself determined these matters. He could only rely on his own speculation, but could not personally participate in it.

Then, it depends on how the three Zhengdao families will accept the move!

Hou Yuxiao took a deep breath, temporarily put aside the complicated thoughts in his mind, and asked: "Let's not talk about this anymore. In the Battle of Longguan, what were the casualties of the 20,000 troops led by Yucheng?"

"It's terrible!"

When Hou Yuxiao heard these four words, he didn't show any surprise. He just nodded and continued to listen to Hou Fei.

Hou Fei showed a hint of helplessness on his face and said: "Before I came here, I thought that even if the 20,000-strong army could not compare with the elites of the Holy Land, it could at least compare with the government army. But after the fight, I realized that the difference was too big.

During the battle to defend the city at Longguan, almost 30% of Erye's 20,000-strong army were killed. Later, during the retreat to defend the river bank, another 30% were killed. Now, there are less than 8,000 people left in the 20,000-strong army!"

Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly, not disappointed. He had expected this situation. Not to mention that three-quarters of the 20,000 troops were cobbled together from the three counties of Hexi. Even the 5,000 people from the Hou family were also from

It is normal for a warrior who has never been on the battlefield to fight like this.

However, this number of casualties also illustrates the cruelty of the Battle of Longguan. It is no wonder that the Demon Sect lost 200,000 troops.

"How are our Hou family's troops doing?" Hou Yuxiao's eyes flashed slightly and he asked again in a low voice.

"Second Master has tried his best to save the 5,000 people of my Hou family, but still more than a thousand were injured, leaving only more than 4,000 people. Of the remaining 7,000 people, more than half belong to my Hou family.

Warrior."

That’s right!

There was a trace of satisfaction in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. The warriors of the Hou family and the warriors who had been cobbled together by the incoming forces from the three counties of Hexi did not have the same status in his eyes. This was something he had already considered and planned before setting off.

Of course he knew what was going on.

"As I expected, there won't be any war for a long time. You can go back to Hexi and inform Laosan and the others. During this period, they can take turns bringing the warriors from the clan to Hedong.

It’s military training.”

"I obey my orders!"

Hou Yuxiao paused for a moment, his expression became slightly gloomy, and continued: "In addition, let Lao San and the others gather all the incoming forces in Hexi to report the battle damage here."

Hou Fei understood immediately, and with a look of forlornness on his face, he nodded and said, "Does the master of the family want to continue to let them go out?"

"It would be a pity not to drain them of such a good opportunity!"
