There are three major families in Hezhou, Baixia Montessori, Danqu Li, Chenggao Hu, Montessori is the strongest, with a heritage of more than 1,000 years, with a deep heritage, and Hu is the weakest, with a heritage of only more than 500 years, and the heritage is not as good as Montessori and Li.

Since the Guangming Army in Hezhou and Hengzhou was encircled and suppressed by the three families of Meng, Li and Hu, the three families divided the two states of Hezhou, the Mengshi occupied the northern part of Hezhou, the Li family occupied the remaining part of Hengzhou and the southern-central part of Hezhou, and the Hu family occupied most of Hengzhou and a small part of the southern part of Hezhou, which shows that the Hu family occupied the most territory.

However, Hengzhou is one of the last two states in the eleven states of the Dali Empire (Zezhou first, Hengzhou second), the population is not more than three million at most, after natural disasters and wars, the total population of Hengzhou has decreased sharply, less than 2.3 million, the Hu family got most of the land in Hengzhou, and did not make the Hu family happy too much, the Hu family wants to rely on the current territory to work hard to develop, it is difficult to catch up with the Mengli family, not to mention the recognized strongest family Baode Wang.

In order to gain an advantage in the battle for the country, Hu had to find other ways.

At this moment, Hu Bi, the contemporary head of the Hu clan in Chenggao City, summoned a group of ministers and generals to discuss this important issue that was enough to determine the future fate of the Hu clan.

"Do you have a solution?" Hu Bi asked.

Not long after Hu Bi's words fell, Hu Bi's eldest son, Hu Mao, who was sitting first on Hu Bi's left, spoke: "Father, the child has a plan. ”

"Say!"

Hu Mao said: "My Hu clan is Li and Huizhou in the north, Jiuling Mountains in the east, and the sea in the south, and my Hu clan can't choose these three sides, only Zezhou in the west is the only way out......"

Listening to the eldest son talk about this, Hu Bi nodded, Zezhou is indeed the only way out.

"Zezhou is now controlled by the Yun family, the Yun family is just a second-rate family that has been inherited for more than two hundred years, and the background is shallow, it stands to reason that this huge Zezhou is not something that the Yun family can control, and the Yun family is lucky, the Shangguan family and the Guangming Sect have fought a lose-lose battle, it can be said that the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the Yun family, which was originally the weakest, has profited.

According to the information that the child currently has, since the Yun family took control of the entire Zezhou, he has calmed down and developed, regardless of foreign affairs, Zezhou has gradually recovered its vitality, especially last year's bumper harvest in Zezhou, even ordinary people's homes have enough food for a family to need for a year, and the Yun family, I am afraid that the wealth of the entire Zezhou has been gathered in the hands of the Yun family. ”

"Shhh Hearing Hu Mao's words, many generals sitting in the audience were surprised, Zezhou was originally a southern wasteland in their eyes, but they didn't expect that the people of Zezhou are actually better off than the people under the Hu family, and now most of the people under the Hu family belong to tenants, cultivating land for the Hu family or other families and landlords.

The generals don't pay attention to this matter, but the ministers do, otherwise they are not dutiful advisers.

Regarding what Hu Mao said, Hu Bi nodded again, and at the same time asked the others present, "What do you think of this matter?" ”

"What the eldest prince said is very true." The strategists present replied one after another, this is not a sycophant of Hu Mao, the future head of the Hu family, but all the strategists also think that Zezhou is the only way out for the Hu family, as long as the Hu family can take Zezhou from the Yun family, the strength of the Hu family can skyrocket rapidly, surpass the Li family, surpass the Hu family, and compete with the Baode Wang family.

At this time, Hu Bi's second son, Hu Ne, who was sitting next to Hu Bi's right hand, stood up and said: "Father, the child also agrees with the eldest brother's words, but our Hu family can notice Zezhou, Meng's, Li's and Laizhou's Wang and Sun's can also notice Zezhou, I'm afraid everyone will focus on Zezhou, the child thinks, my Hu family should start first, if everyone shoots together, then my Hu family can regret it too late, the child hereby makes a military order to the father, and the father only needs to allocate 10,000 horses to the child, The child will be able to get the most out of Zezhou. ”

Regarding Hu Ne's words, Hu Bi also nodded in agreement, but Hu Bi still needs to consider the matter of Hu Nee leading the army to conquer Zezhou.

Hu Bi is also a little headache, his second son Hu Nie's ability is no worse than that of his eldest son Hu Mao, Hu Nie and Hu Mao are both sons-in-law, but one is the second son and the other is the eldest son, the position of the head of the Hu family in the future is destined to be sat by the eldest son Hu Mao, Hu Bi does not want to see his sons kill each other, but complement each other, the eldest son Hu Mao is the head of the family, and the second son Hu Ne becomes Hu Mao's right and left hand, Hu Ne is still too young, and he wants to compete with Hu Mao in everything, but fortunately, Hu Mao is mature and steady, and he doesn't care about these.

Young means impulsive, Hu Nie set up a military order to himself, Hu Bi is not too optimistic, Hu Bi has also been paying attention to the situation in Zezhou, Yun can replace Shangguan to control the entire Zezhou, indicating that Yun still has a certain strength, Hu Ne only relies on 10,000 horses to get the greatest benefit from Zezhou, Hu Bi himself can not believe it, on the contrary, it is very likely that Yun's army can directly block the 10,000 horses led by Hu Nie out of Zezhou.

Hu Bi glanced at Hu Ne's determined expression, Hu Bi knew that Hu Nee had made up his mind to go to Zezhou, which was really a headache.

However, Hu Bi thought about it, but he had a plan in his heart, it was better to let Hu Ne lead 10,000 horses as the vanguard to go to Zezhou, and then send 10,000 horses to Hu Mao, and then rush to arrive.

If the strength of the Yun clan is really unbearable, the 20,000 horses are enough for the Hu clan to seize the greatest benefits from Zezhou, if the Yun clan has some strength and can block the 10,000 horses led by Hu Ne, then let Hu Ne suffer some hardships and learn a lesson, and then the two brothers' armies converge, I don't believe that the Yun clan can still stop it, Hu Bi knows that the Yun clan only has less than 15,000 men and horses in the eastern border of Zezhou, and it will be scattered in the two counties of Chasm and Huichuan.

After Hu Bi discussed with the military generals, Hu Bi ordered: "Hu Ne! ”

"The child is here!" Hu Ne stood up happily and replied.

"Order you to be the vanguard and lead 10,000 horses to conquer Zezhou."

Hu Ne excitedly clasped his hands into fists and replied: "The child is commanded!" ”

"Hu Mao!"

"The child is here!" Hu Mao also stood up and replied.

"Then send 10,000 horses from all over the country to you, for the middle route army, and wait for 10,000 horses to gather before going to Zezhou."

"The child is commanded!"

There are only 20,000 horses in Chenggao County, the foundation of the Hu clan, and the rest of the men and horses are scattered in the area controlled by the Hu clan.
