Chapter seven hundred and seventy-four [gain and then lose] (1)
Xiao Tianmu shook his head and said: "How can there be so many coincidences in this world."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since we are all brothers, I will just say a few random words."
Xiao Tianmu said: "Then we are all ears!"
Hu Xiaotian slowly dropped the wine glass in his hand: "I still ignored Mr. Hu. His layout is deeper and wider than I imagined, and his power is much stronger than I expected. His power has already penetrated Tianxiang Kingdom, and outsiders are just
Seeing the illusion that the Queen Mother is in power is actually because he pushed the Queen Mother to the stage before it was time to act. As for Xichuan, there are many people like you two, and perhaps many people have already infiltrated Xichuan.
On every level.”
Without saying a word, Zhou Mo picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that someone finally lost his temper. He thought it was time to take action to control Tianxiang Kingdom and capture Xichuan..." At this point, Hu Xiaotian's voice stopped suddenly, and he suddenly thought of something extremely important.
The terrible thing is that an isolated Xichuan will definitely not play any role. If Hu Buwei is planning everything behind the scenes, then if he takes down the isolated Xichuan and others, he will probably be dragged into the quagmire by Xichuan, unless
He has a way to open up the southbound passage of Xichuan and connect Xichuan Tianxiang Kingdom into one, but there is still Hongmuchuan between the two, but Hongmuchuan belongs to his own territory. With Hu Buwei's cunningness, he should not be able to
Ignore this matter. Since Hu Buwei has begun to show his prowess and gradually come to the forefront, he is likely to attack Hongmuchuan at the same time.
Zhou Mo, who had been silent, said: "Third brother, actually you don't have to stay here. Since you have completed your mission, why don't you choose to leave?"
Hu Xiaotian stared at Zhou Mo's eyes and said, "Brother, are you reminding me?"
Xiao Tianmu said: "You have obtained a quarter of the land in Xichuan, so why risk it for the sake of prosperity? Anyway, you don't have much loss in this matter."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "What if I insist on staying?" He said word by word: "Will you take action against me?"
Zhou Mo lowered his head in pain. The relationship between the brothers had just eased, but the situation was about to push them into opposite sides.
Xiao Tianmu coughed violently, and it took him a long time to calm down. He removed the handkerchief, and Hu Xiaotian frowned when he saw the shocking color of blood on the handkerchief.
Xiao Tianmu said: "Third brother, you can't beat him!"
Hu Xiaotian knew that the person Xiao Tianmu was referring to was Hu Buwei. He smiled lightly and said, "I am a person who refuses to admit defeat by nature."
Xiao Tianmu said: "He is our benefactor. Without him, we would have been dead long ago. We are loyal to him, but we can only be unjust to you!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "So when we made our sworn vows, you knew clearly in your hearts that you were just sent by him to monitor me."
Zhou Mo felt extremely ashamed.
Xiao Tianmu said: "What is true is also false when it is false. In fact, many times even we ourselves can't tell what is true and what is false!" He actually poured himself a glass of wine, picked up the glass of wine and said:
"Every banquet in the world comes to an end. After drinking this glass of wine, let's go our separate ways."
Hu Xiaotian's premonition unfortunately came true. Tianxiang Kingdom sent troops to Hongmuchuan and captured Huoshu City with lightning speed. Hu Xiaotian always adopted the method of using barbarians to control barbarians in Huoshu City, letting the Hongyi people manage themselves, and the Beggar Gang secretly assisted
, although Hongmuchuan has been extremely stable during this period, the hidden dangers are not small. Now that Tianxiang Kingdom suddenly rebelled, it was easy to capture Hongmuchuan without any resistance at all.
After listening to Meng Guangxiong report this emergency incident, Hu Xiaotian was still able to remain calm. In fact, he had already thought about it when he was drinking with two sworn brothers at Baicao Hall. However, it was still too late after all, and Hongmu River was restored.
Failure, all his previous hard work was in vain. It also means that Hu Buwei has connected Tianxiang Kingdom, Hongmuchuan, and Xichuan into one, and can compete with traditional powers such as Dakang and Dayong in terms of territory and power.
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "How are the brothers from the Beggar Clan?"
Meng Guangxiong said: "There should be nothing wrong. The Tianxiang army settled in Hongmuchuan, and there was almost no fighting. The Hongyi tribe opened the gate of Huoshu City and lined up to welcome them. These barbarians are just grassroots." He was still angry about this incident.
It’s unfair. The Hongyi tribe gave up their resistance, and the Beggar Gang would not be stupid enough to fight head-on with the Tianxiang Kingdom’s army. Naturally, there would be no casualties. However, Hu Xiaotian’s loss of Hongmuchuan meant that he lost a base area in the southwest.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Hongmuchuan was not my territory originally, it was a dowry given to the princess by the Queen Mother!"
Meng Guangxiong said: "It's true that the Queen Mother of Tianxiang Kingdom obviously gave it to others, and now she takes it back with one hand."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you think she would do something like this? If I guess correctly, she has lost actual control over the government."
At this time, someone came in to report, but it was Prince Hogg of Sharjah who arrived. Hogg came here late at night for a reason. He also heard about the occupation of Hongmuchuan by Tianxiang Kingdom. For Hu Xiaotian, Hongmuchuan was just an unexpected gain.
The greatest significance is to control the southern gateway of Xichuan. Now that Xichuan has fallen under the control of Hu Buwei, Hongmuchuan is actually facing the embarrassing situation of being attacked from both sides. No matter how capable Hu Xiaotian is, after all, it is beyond his reach, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will control it.
Hongmuchuan was firmly in his hands, not to mention that he had no troops stationed in Hongmuchuan. Now that it was taken away by Tianxiang soldiers without bloodshed, although Hu Xiaotian was a little disappointed, it was not a big blow. He didn't even mean to take back the lost land.
What was brewing in my heart at this time was nothing more than condemnation, not giving in, but this was the only way to deal with a thing that was a fait accompli and could not be changed.
For Hogg, this news was even more shocking than the person involved, Hu Xiaotian. The Sharjah people had attacked South Vietnam and had now occupied most of the territory of South Vietnam. They could destroy South Vietnam even further. Their next step is to capture Hongmuchuan.
However, Tianxiang Kingdom took the lead and occupied Hongmuchuan before them, which meant that Sharjah was cut off from the possibility of continuing to advance eastward.
Hogg's first words when he saw Hu Xiaotian were: "Brother, Tianxiang Kingdom has betrayed its trust and robbed your Hongmuchuan!" He looked like he was filled with righteous indignation. Seeing that Hu Xiaotian was so calm, he thought that Hu Xiaotian had not
After receiving the news, he said in shock: "What? You don't know yet?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I know, but what can I do?"
Hogg said: "Of course we cannot lose an inch of our own land. Tianxiang Kingdom is so treacherous, so we should join forces to attack it!"
