Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 331 Planning Southern Xinjiang
"Everyone, you all know that Leiyin Temple sent us a congratulatory gift, right?"

What to say today, Hou Yuxiao had already been angry with Hou Yuduan, and asked him to come out and talk first. It was nothing more than explaining the situation to everyone first. However, after Hou Yuduan stood up, he did not talk about it directly, but threw it out first. one question.

The matter of Leiyin Temple sending congratulatory gifts not only caused a stir in the Hou family. With the end of the wedding banquet, this matter will definitely spread to everyone in Hexi. Everyone present was also shocked yesterday. During the Battle of Longxiang Ferry, Hexi brought disgrace to Leiyin Temple. Hou Yuxiao was getting married. It would have been nice if the other party didn't come to cause trouble. He even sent a congratulatory gift, and it was also a valuable spiritual weapon, the Buddha's Light Screen.

No matter how you think about it, it's weird.

"Master, may I ask Leiyin Temple if there have been any major changes recently?"

There are many smart people among the Hou family today.

Duan Hong, the master of Pingtian Clan, is one of them.

It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to see through the game between big powers, but Duan Hong is different. He has been the head of Pingtianmen for many years. Although he has joined the Hou family now, his vision and pattern are still there.

In this world, there are only two situations that can make others put aside their prejudices and take the initiative to show kindness to the enemy. One is that the enemy is too strong, and the other is that oneself has problems and needs to shake hands and make peace first.

Leiyin Temple has known about Hou Yuxiao's marriage for a long time. If it was because of the Purple Qing Holy Sect, they should have expressed their goodwill long ago. Since there have been no other major changes in the Hou family recently, there is only the second scenario:
There must be something wrong with Leiyin Temple.

"Master Duan, you are really amazing!"

Hou Yuduan's praise was affirmation of Duan Hong's answer, and the faces of the people below were all beaming with joy.

The current situation in Hexi is only Taiping in the east, Leiyin Temple in the west, and the temple in the south. They are all troubles. Now that Leiyin Temple has a problem, it is definitely good news for Hexi.

"It can take as short as a few years or as long as ten years. Leiyin Temple should not cause trouble to me in Hexi. This is the reason why they sent gifts. You think that since the trouble in the west is gone, I, Hexi, should take the next step. What to do?"

As soon as Hou Yuduan asked this question, most of the people below immediately looked at each other. Only a few people looked up and saw Hou Yuxiao above, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"May I ask the head of the family, if you intend to take action against Southern Xinjiang?"

This time it was not Duan Hong who asked, but Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng has been the commander of the Qinglong Society for many years, and his understanding of the situation around Hexi is as good as Hou Yuling, who is in charge of the lower Hou clan. Hearing Hou Yuduan confirm Duan Hong's guess, and thinking that Hou Yuxiao specially summoned them all today, the two contacted each other. It's not difficult to guess.

"Yes, I do intend to attack Southern Xinjiang, but..."

"Patriarch, think twice! During the peak period of the Nanjiang Temple, it was comparable to the Holy Land. Even if it is so weak, the standing force is at least more than 200 million, and although the five seedlings are at odds internally, as long as there is an invasion of foreign enemies, they will definitely cooperate. I am so angry that the million-strong army of our Hexi Alliance wants to attack southern Xinjiang, but I am afraid that we are not strong enough and will not be able to succeed!"

Duan Hong was the first to stand up and object. Hou Yuxiao did not blame him. He was very clear about the strength of the Southern Xinjiang Temple. The facts were as Duan Hong said. Not only was Hexi not as good as Southern Xinjiang in terms of standing military strength, but also in terms of experts, Hexi and The gap in southern Xinjiang is not even a tiny bit.

Not to mention anything else, each of the five Miao tribes has a martial arts sub-sage sitting in charge. For this alone, Hexi cannot catch up with him, let alone the powerful masters of the broken realm, the holy realm of yin and yang, and the Yuandan warriors. .

The number of top experts and troops cannot be compared with that of Hexi and Southern Xinjiang.

Duan Hong was definitely not the only one who wanted to dissuade him.

"Have I not finished speaking yet?"

Duan Hong then thought that Hou Yuxiao was just about to say no, but he was too anxious to interrupt. He quickly bowed and apologized, stepped back and continued to listen to Hou Yuxiao.

"The strength of Southern Xinjiang is indeed far superior to ours, so this matter has to be discussed in the long run. Right now, Leiyin Temple has no time to deal with us. Tongtian Mansion in the east is on good terms with us, and the war on the east side is continuing. We can just concentrate on dealing with Southern Xinjiang."

Speaking of this, Hou Yuxiao paused for a moment. Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, he knew that everyone was still not optimistic about it. He was silent for a moment and then shook his head and said: "Not everything in this world is straightforward. In terms of strength, , can Hexi compare with Leiyin Temple?"

Hou Yuxiao's words made everyone look stunned.

They quickly realized what Hou Yuxiao meant, and their expressions changed slightly.

In terms of hard power, Hexi is not as good as Southern Xinjiang, and it is even worse than Leiyin Temple, but does it mean that it will be defeated?
The battle of Long Xiangdu was a bloody example.

As long as the plan is right, even Leiyin Temple in Hexi can be defeated, let alone the mere Nanjiang Temple!

"There are currently one million troops in Hexi, including 20 Red Flame Army, 30 Zhaoyang Army, 50 Hexi Army, and a million troops. It sounds exciting, but when you look at the world, it is nothing at all!
Not to mention, in Tongtian Mansion, He Bo has thousands of demons under his command. The most powerful Buddha Fahai in Leiyin Temple is here in person, but he dare not touch his edge. He Bo has made good friends with me, Hexi today, so there is no need to worry, but who can Guarantee that he will always be friends with me in Hexi?
King Wuwei of Hedong has 50 Tianwei troops under his command who are comparable to the elites of the Holy Land. As Hou Jing captured Lingyuan and Guangling mansions, the number of his armies also continued to increase. When he captured Junkang mansion, he controlled all three mansions. The land and the army are countless. What if one day, he also covets me, Hexi?

Leiyin Temple's current situation has changed, and he has no choice but to show his goodwill to me in Hexi. When his condition improves, do you think those bald donkeys will forget the hatred of Longxiang Crossing and let us in Hexi?
According to the news brought back by Xiahoumen, it has been more than two months since the Rakshasa Holy Cult attacked Xiyun Daocheng in Bingzhou. Once Xiyun Daocheng was defeated, the eight-hundred-mile Moyun Mountain could not be defended. The army of the Rakshasa Holy Cult , it was easy to capture the whole territory, and the Yangmei Road behind them was like a flat river. It is uncertain when the Rakshasa Holy Church will defeat Bingzhou. Do you think the Rakshasa Holy Church will turn its head and set its sights on Xiayuan Dao?

These are just the situations around Hexi. Now that the world is in chaos, if we continue to cling to a corner of Hexi without seeking progress, we will only be dead when others come over!
If Hexi changes hands, will you still have your current status and treatment? "

Hou Yuduan's words made many people present breathe a little heavier involuntarily. The people in the main hall today are all senior members of the Hou family. After the unification of Hexi, they benefited the most. Now let them Giving up status is no different than killing them.

"Fifth Master, just tell me how you want to deal with Southern Xinjiang!"

"There are dangers around Hexi, so we really need to be prepared for a rainy day."

"If you want to protect yourself, it is imperative to expand your territory. If you have any orders from me, head of the family, please tell me. We will go there and cause trouble without hesitation."

"In a time of great strife, retreating to protect oneself is the only way to die."

...............

There is a big difference between cultivators and ordinary people.

Hou Yuduan was deliberately stimulating everyone's emotions. These people in the main hall could tell. The reason why they chose to cooperate was because of what Hou Yuduan said, which they could understand.

The key is that they can also see through the essence of things.

The Hexi Alliance, or the Hou family, is now a ship, and they are all the leaders on the ship. Moreover, they want to continue to be the leaders, so they agree with Hou Yuduan from the bottom of their hearts.

If they want to maintain this big ship, they have to expand their territory. Not to mention shrinking to protect themselves will definitely be a dead end. At least if the master changes in the future, they will not be able to have the status and treatment they have now.

Hou Yuxiao cheered up slightly. Even he was a little touched by Hou Yuduan's words. He could also understand the reactions of the following people.

"The two prefectures of Hexi have a population of more than 2000 million, and an army of one million is already the limit. This is the effect after we banned all the inflowing forces in the territory. If we want to continue to expand the army, we must expand the territory. There is no hope for both the north and the north, so we can only focus on the south. The strength of the temple is indeed twice that of Hexi, but as long as we work step by step and gradually infiltrate, it is not impossible to win.

Leiyin Temple will not target us in the short term, let alone Tongtian Mansion and Hedong. At least for now, time is on our side, so as long as this matter is discussed in the long term, we have hope! "

Hou Yuxiao paused for a moment, then continued to speak after organizing himself:
"Since the Southern Xinjiang Temple was defeated by Sikong Xingzhou's army 400 years ago, the Five Miao people have always been at odds with each other. It was not until Sikong Yue supported the Qing Miao people and suppressed the other four ethnic groups a few years ago that the situation improved slightly. , Qingmiao still has unclear connections with the Rakshasa Holy Cult. Five Miao are most taboo about external intervention, and the other four Miao ethnic groups must be dissatisfied with Qingmiao.

The four seedlings are so honest now because they are afraid of the current power of the green seedlings, plus they are afraid of the Rakshasa Holy Cult behind the green seedlings. As long as we can find a way to provoke conflicts between them and disintegrate the five seedlings' alliance from the inside, then, with Only when you go to southern Xinjiang can you have hope! "

What Hou Yuxiao said was very general, but it had to be said that it was the most feasible way, and it also provided an idea for everyone.

However, doubts were soon raised.

Gao Cheng whispered: "The head of the family is right, but we are causing trouble in southern Xinjiang. Will the Rakshasa Holy Sect..."

"The Rakshasa Holy Cult is currently focusing on Bingzhou. As long as we can capture Southern Xinjiang before they withdraw from Bingzhou, there will be no problem. Therefore, the speed of capturing Southern Xinjiang is very important!"

The person who answered Gao Cheng's question was Hou Yuduan.

His face was a little solemn. For the actions in southern Xinjiang, speed was indeed the key. In fact, it was not only the Rakshasa Holy Cult that had to worry, the Leiyin Temple in the west was also very important. Not only did they have to prevent the Rakshasa Holy Cult from withdrawing from Bingzhou, At the same time, once the situation of Leiyin Temple improves, it will also turn its attention to Hexi.

If by then, Hexi will still be entangled with Southern Xinjiang...

Leiyin Temple will not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Lao Wu, the focus of the tribe in the next few years will be in southern Xinjiang. The specific plans and deployments are all made by you. The Qinglonghui, Shangxiahoumen, and all the counties under our control in Hexi will fully cooperate with you. If necessary, , even the second-largest Hexi army will be mobilized by you, as long as I see the results, of course if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me!"

"yes, Sir!"

Hou Yuduan's voice was slightly moved. Hou Yuxiao had entrusted him with the greatest authority of the family, which was not an ordinary trust in him.

"I will obey the order of the Patriarch!"

Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Hou Yucheng and said: "The situation on the east and west sides has become stable. The local garrison situation can be slightly changed. The defense forces of Longxiang County in the east and Jiuxun County in the west can be reduced, leaving only Send enough troops to deal with southern Xinjiang."

"yes, Sir."

"Sanniang, Xiahoumen cannot relax in collecting intelligence around Hexi and all over the world, especially the war in Hedong and the movements of major holy places. As soon as there is any news, please inform me immediately."

"yes, Sir!"

After Hou Yuxiao made a series of arrangements, he whispered: "I have some experience in the battle at Wanglong Mountain. It will take a long time to retreat for a while. I will stay in Fucheng during this period. If there is any emergency, you can inform me at any time. For other You can take matters into your own hands."

When they heard that Hou Yuxiao was going to retreat, the expressions on everyone's faces were slightly excited. Hou Yucheng and others already knew about the battle at Wanglong Mountain, and the three Gao brothers also spread the word.

Being able to fight against the Master Fahai, Hou Yuxiao is considered by everyone to be a martial arts sub-sage. If he comes out of seclusion this time, his strength will be...

As soon as he saw everyone's faces, Hou Yuxiao knew what they were thinking, but he didn't explain it. After all, these people thought that his strength was not a bad thing, so he simply let them go.

His true cultivation level is still only at the Qianyang realm. He can't say whether he can break through this round of retreat, but the sense of urgency in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, which is true.

Fahai knew that he used good deeds to improve his cultivation.

Sikong Yue gave him another golden page of merit.

These two things put too much pressure on Hou Yuxiao...

Especially the latter. In fact, when he saw Sikong Yue's golden page of merit that day, Hou Yuxiao's first reaction was not happiness, but fear. For too long, he had no idea where the golden page of merit was from. It was Sikong Yue who had been left behind.

What strength does Sikong Yue have now?
This question came to Hou Yuxiao's mind, and his face was as gloomy as blood.

During the Zhaoyang Rebellion seven years ago, Sikong Yue was at the second level of Grandmaster. He had never seen this woman since then. But just based on the inherent impression of Sikong Yue in his mind, Hou Yuxiao knew that this woman's strength was definitely far beyond his own. imagination.

At least a powerful one in the Broken Realm, or even... a martial arts sub-sage...

Hou Yuxiao speculated on his own, and suddenly realized that he hadn't even understood the golden page of merit left by the other party in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and he had even sent a second one. What was the use of speculating on his strength?

Apart from anything else, if Sikong Yue really wants to harm herself, or if this golden page of merit is her means, then it goes without saying that if she confronts her one day, she will probably manipulate her at will.

This is the biggest reason why Hou Yuxiao is anxious to retreat...
