Not to mention Xiliang's side, how to appease these evil neighbors of the twelve countries of the Western Regions beside him.

On the other side, along with the Zhenxi Houfu spent several generations of costs, the cultivated letter bird was vacated. Spanning thousands of miles, they reached Youzhou and Yizhou respectively. The Hou Mansion of Zhenbei and the Hou Mansion of Zhennan received letters written by the Hou of Zhenxi one after another.

And after seeing the content of the letter, the two marquis were angry at first.

As I said before, what the Great Bank Division did was too taboo. plotted to kill a prince of the dynasty who was actually sealed, and after the matter was revealed, he even tried to completely disrupt the situation in Xiliang by assassination.

It's simply tolerable, but it's unbearable.

Don't say it's them, even when any nobleman in the court hears about this, he will be furious and want to get an explanation.

It's just that compared to those fictitious princes, the princes of the three towns have the strength and ability to use their own means to ask for an explanation. And that's just a matter of thinking. If they really let them question the court and the Son of Heaven, they don't dare to borrow their courage.

After all, compared to the princes of the three towns who have a certain degree of autonomy and have soldiers and horses in their hands, the other nobles in the court are more like beasts that have been raised in captivity. may not worry about wealth and wealth, but life and death are not up to them.

The book returns to the main topic, anger returns to anger, as the person in charge of deciding the fate of a state and a place, whether it is Zhenbei Hou or Zhennan Hou, he has not lost his mind.

Therefore, after the anger, they began to think about how they and others should choose next, and how to meet the coming troubled times.

There's not much to say about the choice.

Today, the imperial court can make a move to murder Zhenxihou in order to obtain Xiliang, so tomorrow it will dare to target them in the same way.

As the real feudal prince who guards the four poles, he takes the path of a martial artist in both his actions and concepts. Naturally, there is no room for the slightest sand in his eyes, especially in this kind of thing.

Therefore, raising the flag to rebel with Zhenxihou has become the consensus of the two parties.

Therefore, the main consideration of the two parties now is how to protect themselves and protect their own foundation in the next chaos.

As for whether they can go further, they will not be considered until they gain a firm foothold in the troubled times.

And to do this, both parties, no, it should be said that all three parties consider the same. That is, in a short period of time, to remove the threat of the evil neighbors around you. It is also good to avoid the dilemma of being caught in a two-sided war and being attacked by the north and the south.

And in this regard, Zhenbei Hou and Zhennan Hou chose two different paths.

On the side of the Zhennan Hou Mansion, the choice is the same as the people in the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, all of them give up some vested interests and offer generous conditions to appease.

To put it bluntly, I give money, you give me honesty, don't come to pull me back.

The choice of Zhenbei Houfu is different, including Zhenbei Hou Baiqi, Zhenbei Houfu has never compromised with the Xiongnu in the upper and lower views.

Therefore, the choice of the Zhenbei Houfu side is either to defeat the Xiongnu and make the Xiongnu powerless. Or simply use means to slaughter a group of high-level Huns, and let the Huns muddy the waters in this puddle.

When the time comes, just fighting for power and profit will be enough for them to be busy, how can they have this leisure time?

However, there are some difficulties that are difficult to solve.

That is to fight the Huns, to the extent that they are unable to go south in a short period of time. At the very least, with the strength of the Houfu side in the north of the town, it is difficult to do this.

Otherwise, the grievances and entanglements between the Xiongnu and the Houfu of Zhenbei would not have been entangled for three generations.

Therefore, the use of special means to assassinate the high-level Huns led by Tu Yarrow Shan Yu has become one of the few options for the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

So after receiving the letter, recruiting his henchmen, and discussing with him, Zhenbei Hou Baiqi directly recruited the person he trusted the most. That is, the old housekeeper who has served the Bai family for generations, and then instructed: "Uncle Lu, you have to go north to contact a few secret sons of my Bai family in the Xiongnu." Let them cooperate with the iron guard and kill a number of high-ranking Huns. Strive to hit it with one hit, especially the ones on the list, and definitely not let them escape!"

"Yes!"

Lu Bo responded when he heard this, and after cleaning up a little. With the warrant of the Marquis of Zhenbei, the most elite of the Iron Guard was transferred to the north. Prepare to meet with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which has been buried for many years.

And after arranging how to deal with the bad neighbors, there is another thing that they need to do, and they need to take care of it themselves.

That is to contact like-minded people as much as possible, that is, to find allies.

Again, only when you are in this system can you understand what terrible power the imperial court contains under the seemingly unwavering surface of the ancient well.

Therefore, in order to share the risks and pressures they have to bear, dragging others into the water and entering the game has become something they need to consider and do.

And at this point, it may be a little more difficult for Zhenbei Hou and Zhenxi Hou.

After all, one of these two families was a pure minister before, and he didn't have too many extra thoughts, so naturally he wouldn't make friends with those forces that didn't deal with the imperial court.

The other has just suffered a great calamity because of the imperial court. Not only did the principal die, but also because of the subsequent dispute over the succession, when the successor took the throne, a large number of double-minded people were purged.

So that many of the previous relationships have been broken.

Therefore, in this regard, we can only rely on the Zhennan Hou Mansion to support the beams and do my best.

Not to mention the secret communication between the princes of the three towns, and how to secretly prepare for the upcoming great dispute.

On the other side, although the Zhenxi Hou Mansion has blocked the news as much as possible.

But the imperial court still sensed that something was wrong.

After all, in order to prevent accidents, the Son of Heaven specially ordered the Daxing Division to arrange the most effective people to go to Xiliang to supervise and help the eldest grandson Wuji complete the plan.

And Wang Xuance, the great order of the Daxing Division, gave a thousand instructions before the broken iron clothes left, so that the broken iron clothes would be summarized in three days, and the longest should not exceed seven days, and they would go to the capital side.

to report on the progress and situation of Xiliang.

However, now, it has been a full seven days, and Wang Xuance has not received any news from the broken iron coat. This made me not very optimistic about the plan of the eldest grandson Wuji, and Wang Xuance, who thought that his actions were too aggressive and too bold, cast a shadow on his heart.

"Someone," it seemed that he didn't want to wait so passively, so Wang Xuance directly summoned his subordinates and asked, "Is there any report from the Northwest Province recently?"

"Back to my lord, there has never been a report," the subordinate replied.

“...... It shouldn't be," Wang Xuance frowned and muttered: "Even if it is because of the death of Zhenxi Hou, Wuwei City is blocked, and in seven days, with the ability to break the iron clothes, it is impossible to find a little time and space to send the news back."

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the whole city of Wuwei City is blocked, the news is blocked. From what I know about the Broken Iron Cloak, he must have placed a certain number of people outside the city before entering the city, and there should be news of these people.

How can there be no news now, this ...... It's hard to ......!"
