The Great Zhou Empire was established in a state surrounded by the Longxi Empire, so when the empire was first established, there were many crises, and from time to time troops were sent to war, and the appointment and dismissal of officials were as fast as a marquee. Naturally, the mechanics of the early dynasties were also different from those of previous empires.

In the afternoon of this day, the court deliberations began again.

The great eunuch An Delai pulled his hoarse voice and read to the civil and military officials: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Hulin, the governor of Longxi and Lianghu, naturalized my Great Zhou Empire, and made great contributions to my Great Zhou occupation of the whole Hunan Empire. The soldiers used their lives to take all the Jiangnan, which is already expected by everyone. From now on, Feng Hulin will be the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he will be given a product to wear a flower feather. Chin this".

After An Delai finished reading, the civil and military officials whispered, they were discussing who this Hulin was, and why he suddenly became the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses second only to Wu Sanmu.

"General Tiger has secretly helped me for many days, and we occupied the whole of Hunan and defeated the enemy, thanks to General Hu's efforts, and General Hu's victory as a deputy marshal of the first rank is also a natural merit," replied a third-rank military attache on the side.

This Sanpin military attache was a brigadier general of the Great Zhou named Liu Xinyuan, who had been in charge of the handover with Hulin. It's just that it was done in secret at that time, and I don't know what's going on, but today it was suddenly announced at the court meeting, is this secret going to be publicized to the world, Brigadier General Liu showed a surprised look.

What was even more surprising was the tiger forest hiding in a corner. Hulin has always maintained a secret identity, kept in touch with the Longxi Dynasty, used his special identity to obtain information, and won over the civil and military generals with two hearts within the Longxi Empire, not only to expand the territory of the Great Zhou, but also to attract a group of available talents for the Great Zhou. I didn't want to be suddenly invited to the court meeting by Uncle Wu today, but it turned out that Uncle Wu rewarded him. Surprise yourself.

As soon as his parents and family members are in Zhongdu, once the information is returned, it will be a fatal threat to his family. I really don't know what Uncle Wu's heart is. But if he insists on not being subject to this Dai Hua Ling, he will be regarded as a heresy and suppressed by this Great Zhou.

"Minister thanks, long live my emperor, long live", Hu Lin didn't have time to think more, only kowtowed to thank him.

Wu Sanmu, who was sitting in the middle, saw the panicked Hu Lin, and an inappropriate smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the court meeting, Hu Lin hurriedly left the court hall and whispered to one of his entourages, who hurried away with a solemn face.

Hu Lin used a secret pipeline to quickly warn his parents, but he was still one step too late.

A few days later, in Zhongdu City, Emperor Long Yan, who had received the news earlier, was furious. No wonder the Jiangnan war was defeated one after another, passive everywhere, it turned out that this old thief Hu Qianshui secretly communicated with the Great Zhou, ate the flesh and gnawed on his bones, and relieved the hatred in my heart. Emperor Longxi quickly arranged for the Imperial Forest Army in the capital to surround the Hufu in the middle of the night.

"Only enter, not out," Liu Tianyue, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army who was in charge of besieging Hufu, instructed his subordinates.

When the sky was about to dawn, the messenger who rushed back to Hufu from Jiangnan, knowing that Hufu was surrounded, still walked into Hufu without hesitation and passed this information to Hu Qianshui.

When Hu Qianshui got the news, he immediately panicked, "This Wu Sanmu dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and he actually wanted to tie himself to his chariot", Hu Qianshui said hatefully.

At this time, the Imperial Forest Army had already rushed in batches. On the one hand, Hu Qianshui ordered his housekeeper Liu Tianjiu to lead his generals to resist, and he led his eldest wife Nalan Yaoji and youngest son Hu Bing to escape from the secret passage.

"Thinking that Qiu Yan will come back in the next few days, what should I do", Nalan Yaoji, who was crying, turned back step by step.

"Qiuyan, she can only ask for more blessings for herself", Hu Qianshui knew the seriousness of this crime of rebellion, so after taking out the Tiger Mansion, he went straight to Xishan.

This Xishan is Hu Qianshui in the north mountain of the Taiji Gate stronghold was exterminated by the Longxi Dynasty, and then in the West Mountain to create a Taijimen stronghold, now has raised more than 100 Taijimen warriors, of which more than a dozen warriors have reached the realm of martial spirits, with a certain combat power.

The next day, the news came. The Tiger Mansion included 230 soldiers, the men were killed, and the women were sold as official slaves.

The head of the family, Hu Qianshui, fled with his wife, much to the anger of Emperor Longxi. Liu Tianyue, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, felt derelict in his responsibilities, and after severe torture, he visited the Xishan stronghold of Hu Qianshui. Therefore, on the third day, the Imperial Guards followed towards the western mountain.

When Hu Qianshui learned this information, he didn't dare to stay in Xishan for a long time, swaying like a lost dog, and led his wife and Taiji disciples to escape to the northwest desert area.

The news of Hufu being beheaded spread to the shores of Dongting Lake a few days later. Hu Lin, a general who was already the deputy commander of the Great Zhou Dynasty's soldiers and horses, looked at the rippling waters of Dongting Lake, and couldn't let go of it for a long time. He was not only annoyed by Wu Sanmu's plan to fall into the well, but also hated Long Xi'er for killing his whole family regardless of his feelings.

But he currently only has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, which can neither compete with Wu Sanmu's troops, nor can he shake the power of Emperor Longxi. Therefore, on the one hand, he took the opportunity to expand his strength with Wu Sanmu and the snake, and on the other hand, he had to go to the foreground and start to compete with Emperor Longxi's military strength.

Because Hulin had a thorough understanding of the army of the Longxi Empire and had inside information, the war in northern Hunan was unusually smooth, and it only took ten days to attack the Hubei border and launch a huge fierce battle with the imperial army led by Babeile Yinyu on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Yinxi led an army of less than 10,000 people to retreat into Jiangbei after being defeated and retreating.

The Hulin soldiers and horses attacked the city and conquered the city, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the team quickly expanded more than doubled. In the embattled state of the Great Zhou Empire, it stood out.

However, it was at this time that tens of thousands of Sichuan troops besieged Hengzhou step by step from western Hunan, Hengzhou was in danger, and several other troops of Wu Sanmu were tightly bitten in eastern Hunan and Liangguang, and there were no troops to adjust for a while.

Wu Sanmu, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to transfer the Hulin troops, which were attacking in the direction of Jiangbei, to central Hunan to resist the Sichuan army from the west of Hunan.

The victorious Hulin is in high spirits and is ready to sweep the Longxi army in the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, he received an urgent military order from Wu Sanmu, asking him to return to Hengzhou.

Hulin hesitated. On the one hand, he expected to see the Sichuan army sweep through Hengzhou and overthrow Wu Sanmu's Great Zhou regime. On the other hand, once the Great Zhou really collapses, he will face the disadvantageous situation of being attacked from all sides.

The military advisor Lian Sen suggested: "If we divide our troops into two routes, go back to Hengzhou all the way, and continue to advance in the direction of Dongning and Jiangxi all the way, and adopt the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao."

"The military division is poor, I heard that the Sichuan army has 80,000 troops, and we are expected to have a slight advantage in all the defenses, if we divide our troops to attack, I am afraid that we will commit a taboo in the soldiers, not to mention that Ning Jiang is not Longxi's lair, they can completely ignore it, and this plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao may not be realized."

"What does the general mean," asked Boulder Liansen suspiciously.

"Only when our whole army returns to defense can we concentrate our strength on one finger, and we will not fall into the encirclement on all sides," after a pause, Hu Lin pondered for a moment and continued: "But we must have a strategy for our defense."

"Would you like to hear about it," Lian Sen asked with great interest, looking up at Hulin.

"Divide most of the army to Xiangxi, attack the Sichuan army with ease and labor, sneak into Hengzhou with a small number of elite soldiers, and ...... Wu Sanmu," Hu Lin said and made a powerful gesture.

"The general means to take Wu Sanmu down," Lian Sen asked in a low voice.

"As the saying goes, no poison is not a husband, and if you win in chaos, you can take revenge and replace it. If it happens, you will be the first prime minister of our new Tiger King Empire", Hu Lin said firmly.
