Since the fall of the Holy Empire, the nine states of Tianyuan have fallen apart. The two states of Sha and Liang have always been incompatible due to historical grievances. The invasion of Liang by sand bandits did not happen after the establishment of the Cangnan Empire, but has an ancient history of nearly three thousand years. Tradition”!
The invasion of Liangzhou by sand bandits has always been a naked act of banditry. There is no need to say that they are famous, let alone use any banner. But this time, the situation was obviously different. When the army of sand bandits invaded Liangzhou, they openly launched the banner of "revolt against rebellion"!
With the usual banditry behavior of these sand bandits, when did they consider themselves righteous and regard Liangzhou as a treason
But according to reliable reports, this time the army of three million sand pirates is really "famous"!
Because this time, the army of sand pirates was led by Hu Ying, the eldest prince of the Hu family. He claimed that he had been harmed by his brothers. Although he was the eldest son, he was usurped as the crown prince by his third brother. The current emperor Hu De The emperor even became Hu Hao's puppet! In order to prevent the ancestral foundation from falling into the hands of Hu Hao, a crazed maniac, Hu Yingcai had to borrow troops from Shazhou in order to revive the world and restore the legitimacy of the Hu royal family!
Such an excuse sounds high-sounding, but in fact it is very reluctant, because everyone knows the tradition of the Hu royal family. The throne has always been occupied by the virtuous, and there has never been any theory of succession by the eldest son. Moreover, the imperial capital has always been peaceful, and there are so many worshipers of the Hu royal family sitting in charge. How can a young descendant like Hu Hao, even with the dignity of a prince, have the ability to control Emperor Hu De and regard him as a puppet
As for those who knew the inside story of the Hu royal family's struggle to seize the rightful son, they were even more dismissive of Hu Ying's actions. Hu Ying's collusion with Shazhou forces in the battle for the heir that day was enough to show that he had evil intentions, so it is not inconceivable that he used the Shazhou bandit army to invade Liangzhou today.
From a general point of view, Hu Ying's liaison with foreign enemies is a great traitor! From a personal moral point of view, Hu Ying's greed for profit is a great evil! This kind of person can be said to be a disgrace to the Hu family!
On the night when the imperial capital was shaken, Hu Ying disappeared together with the emperor-level masters from Shazhou. No one knew his whereabouts, but with the actions of the sand bandits army, it finally became clear that Hu Ying had completely surrendered to Shazhou. , bent on becoming the enemy of the Cangnan Empire!
It is estimated that Hu Ying will not have any real power in Shazhou. At most, he will use Hu Ying's name to raise a banner. However, the driving force behind the war in Shazhou was most likely Hu Bailing, the ancestor of the Hu family who founded the "Medicine Immortal Sect"!
With the power of the Yaoxian Sect in Shazhou, it is not unusual at all to gather an army of millions of sand pirates. Although both Hu Bailing and Hu Ying are direct descendants of the Hu royal family, they have no influence on the Hu royal family. His hatred was probably stronger than that of any foreign enemy, so it was not surprising at all that he raised the banner of "rebellion" and launched an attack on the Cangnan Empire.
In order to realize their hegemonic ambitions, the Hu royal family has been trying to control Shazhou for many years to solve this personal problem. They have also established many forces in Shazhou. Although they are not as powerful as the Yaoxian Sect, they are still powerful. It also has a certain influence. If the Yaoxian Sect really makes any big moves, it should not be hidden from the eyes and ears of these forces!
The invasion of the sand bandits this time should have been expected by the Hu royal family. The second prince Hu Xiong was assigned to guard the border and the Kong Ming fiefdom was sealed in Yunxia City. It was probably the first move arranged by the Hu royal family!
As long as the Yaoxian Sect really initiates this battle and Kong Ming is involved, then the enemies of the Yaoxian Sect will become the two major forces of the Hu family and the Kong family, and it will inevitably end in failure in the end!
As long as the Yaoxian Sect's power is removed, the forces supported by the Hu royal family will be able to control the real power of Shazhou, allowing the Hu royal family's ambitions to take another step forward!
For the Yaoxian Sect, it was not impossible for them to detect this intention of the Hu royal family. However, Hu Bailing fled to Shazhou and established the Yaoxian Sect more than two hundred years ago. Even if she is an emperor-level powerhouse, how long does she have left in her life? If he didn't get to know the Hu royal family thoroughly before his longevity expired, it would be impossible for this proud "Medicine Fairy" to be willing to accept it, right
Whether he sent a large number of capable people to infiltrate the imperial capital in an attempt to sway the fight for the heir, or this time he gathered a large army to attack Liangzhou in a dignified manner to "defeat rebellion", it is enough to show that Hu Bailing has the idea of "Better to be broken than to be destroyed!" Determination!
It is naturally impossible for outsiders to know these inside stories. Everyone only knows that a war is about to break out between Shazhou and Liangzhou!
As for Kong Ming, he already knows a lot of secrets about the Hu royal family. After analyzing the situation before and after, he will be able to deduce the truth of the matter nine out of ten!
Logically speaking, Kong Ming, as a direct descendant of the Kong family, should not be involved in the dispute between the Hu royal family and the family rebellion. However, when Kong Ming agreed to come to Izumo County to seek refuge, he knew that he would have to face such a situation sooner or later!
The Hu royal family has ambitions. This is an unchangeable fact. As one of the two top wealthy families in the Cangnan Empire, how can the Kong family completely stay out of it? The best choice is, of course, to continue to maintain an advance-retreat relationship with the Hu royal family!
This time, Kong Ming will try his best to show his strength and let the Hu royal family understand that even if the Kong family is willing to cooperate with the Hu royal family, it is not in a complete vassal position, because the strength of the Kong family cannot be ignored!
Now that the war on the frontline has broken out, I believe that soon these eight hundred-man teams trained by Kong Ming will have the opportunity to show off their skills on the battlefield, right
Since the Hu royal family had expected that this war would break out and asked Kong Ming to come to Yunxia City to die, how could they not arrange a back-up plan to involve Kong Ming in the battlefield
Therefore, Kong Ming can fully expect that he will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield soon!
In such a period of time, although it is not very good, it is not bad either. At least the eight hundred-man teams trained by Kong Ming are barely usable.
After the news of the outbreak of the war spread, not everyone could see the truth of the matter as clearly as Kong Ming did. Most people were panicked because of the war, and the tenant farmers who originally lived outside Yunxia City also fled to Yunxia City. They were afraid of being implicated in the military disaster. After all, Yunxia City was only about three hundred miles away from the front line. Once the front line was breached, the sand bandit army would only need a day and a night to kill Yunxia City!
